I have been involved in music since my teenage years which lead me to learn and pick up graphic design, motion graphics, illustration and much more!

Animated Illustration/Emotes - key details
PROVIDING ARTWORK• I do not animate anything frame by frame.• I use either Live2D, After Effects or a blend of both for animation and effects.• File formats I work from include:
JPG / PNG / PSD• I only ever draw to fix layering issues or to properly cut art into layers. I cannot add illustrative details to the sent artwork.
(I can't add clothing, a scenic background, etc. I will only use the image provided.)PRE-LAYERED / LIVE2D ARTWORKPre-layered artwork (including Live 2D illustration) is not required.
However providing pre-layered and cut illustrations from your artist provides immense benefits:
• Price Discount.• Up to 50-70% faster deliveries.• More authentic animations.I reserve the right to make small changes to the overall layering of the artwork and the ability to add things that would improve the overall animation quality. These changes will never drastically change the design or style of the artwork and are only for better functionality of the animation.ARTIST'S CONSENTBefore hiring me, you need to make sure that you have the original artist's consent and you have the right licensing/rights to the illustration for animation. There is no reliable way for me to check with every artist for permission.As the client you will:• talk to your artist directly and ask for their consent.• take full responsibility, if you did not ask for consent and the original artist speaks out against this commission.DELIVERY FORMATS• Animated Emotes:112px GIF for Twitch (Twitch automatically resizes for other devices)
GIF for Discord (less than 256kb)• Animated IllustrationsGIF/MP4 files in original resolution (unless requested otherwise)REVISIONSOnce the animation is finished I can do small changes such as rig adjustments, speed of animation, adding tiny details I may have forgotten among other things.
In special cases, I can re-animate the given piece once for free, depending on the complexity and reason of the changes.
I won't completely re-animate commissions multiple times however, unless payment is sent for a second order.
The responsibility is on you to ensure your order contains the
details you want me to follow.COPYRIGHTI own the animation.By commissioning me you're purchasing my services as an animator only.
I retain all copyrights over my work, which include but aren't limited
to the right to:• redistribute, reproduce or use it as a sample for self-promotion, unless otherwise agreed upon.• reserve the right to use rejected animation concepts for any future projects, be it personal or otherwise.Please read my full TOS for info on payment, licensing etc.
Terms of Service & Workflow
General Terms
PAYMENT & FEESI currently receive payments through VGen Payments or Direct Invoicing (Email - by Credit Card). The currency I invoice under is CAD.• Rushed orders and Deadline orders have to be paid in full upfront.• Any order under $200 has to be paid in full upfront.• All orders equal or greater than $200 has an option to send a 50% down payment to reserve the order, and the balance upon completion.

Your order will be put at the top of the queue.
REVISIONSI offer limited revisions after each work in progress sent. If I have to start from scratch on a complete or near complete piece I charge 50% of the original piece's commission value. Any errors on my end such as grammar, missed requirements or other mistake on my end are free.
REFUNDSFull refunds will only be issued prior to any work being started. If your commission has been started and you wish to cancel it for any reason, you will receive a 50% refund. A commission that has been started and is cancelled by me will receive a full refund, excluding fees. Please let me know ASAP if you need to cancel a commission as it will impact my wait time and income.

Everything I will choose to use in your designs is 100% free for personal and commercial use.
