Calmnivore's Commissions Portal
You should review terms, prices, and preferences carefully before sending an order form. If you don't read what I typed here, I literally cannot work with you.
I spend a lot of time thinking about how to make this site more user friendly, easier to read, and easier to navigate. If you have any complaints, please let me know via the order form or whatever other means you feel like using.
I support myself primarily through commissions. However, this year I am trying to draw a comic and I need support to do that. If you'd like to support me without requiring me to spend labor hours on non comic things, you should sub to my patreon, or buy my art packs which are both linked below.

creative freedom sketch
formerly named gachapon!
$25
This is an extremely DISCOUNTED option meant to get me through tough times. This Discount is only possible if you give up some control, and abide by several rules. Please read these carefully so that you understand what this is.
These sketches vary wildly in quality and direction.
I do not accept directions on these whatsoever. Just leave the notes section blank except for links to reference images. If you want control over the pose and situation, consider the client control sketch option. (I do not change a character's design, body type, genitals, or sexuality, it is up to you to cover the relevant details in your references and notes)
I won't draw your oc with weird kinks. These are vanilla, and usually just pinups or masturbation.
And again, if you want to control whether its nsfw or sfw, you must get the client control tier.
If you want to request a specific kink or direction, you must get a client control sketch
You need a full head to toe reference. I am not going to design a character from description or stitch one together from various images.
No complex clothing or designs will be drawn. Most fur patterns will be omitted. Most wings will be omitted unless they are very simple and small.
There is no guaranteed turnaround time whatsoever
I am not interested in drawing a single character more than twice per commission, and I recommend giving me multiple characters to choose from even if you're just getting one sketch.
Customers may only purchase a maximum of 3 of these per month.
Client Control Sketch
solo - $45 minimum
two figures interacting - $105 minimum
A sketch where you get to control what I draw. What you want drawn will affect the price.This requires discussion. Please send me your refs and your pitch via order form.This price covers floating hands/dicks, minor alts and extras like x ray shots.
First time customers interested in bigger ticket items must get this tier first, and will only have to pay the difference after the sketch is completed.
The quality of sketch is the same as the examples shown for creative freedom sketches. At base price, you are paying for control over the outcome. Creative Freedom price is possible due to restrictions on the client, but the quality of my work is worth more than that.
I'm still working on a proper example set for this tier.
colored sketch
solo - $85 minimum
two figures interacting - $165 minimum
This tier is not available to first time customers.

Terms
Principles
I have a few principles that guide how I conduct my business.
It is important that the client and I both have a complete understanding of what we are each agreeing to prior to any payment. The client should ask for clarification of any points that they are unsure of, and be certain to read all these terms carefully. If the client demonstrates that they have not read the terms, I will not agree to work with them.
What the client and I agree to, we stick to, unless we communicate again and agree to change the terms of the initial agreement. This is more applicable to me than the client.
I offer courtesy and professionalism, and expect the same treatment.

Refund Policy
I do not offer refunds for this service. Once paid, I am under no legal obligation to return your money to you. It is not possible for me to recoup the cost of my time, which is what I am selling. If this situation sounds undesirable to you, DO NOT commission me.
TERMS OF CREATIVE FREEDOM
This part gives me some elbow room, but frankly I don't think I've ever changed a design other than to give characters extra accessories, or to omit details that make the minimum price nonviable for a particular design.The client gives me permission to alter their character in any way I see fit to make my job easier. I will generally try to stick to their original design, but I may omit or alter certain details, such as complex fur patterns.I will not alter the character's gender presentation, their sexuality, or their body type.These terms are not a guarantee that I will accept any complicated character for a commission.
Preferences
This stuff is hard to communicate so I'll be tweaking this over time. If you feel like this section is unclear or hard to understand, let me know!
As an ADHD sufferer, I am motivated almost exclusively by my special interests, and getting paid more really doesn't make up the difference for stuff I don't want to draw. Therefore I'm trying to cultivate a client base that is into the same things I'm into! I want to draw the things I'm especially interested in to make my job easier and so I can produce work more efficiently.Don't take any of this as an insult to your own preferences (or else!)
Things I'm Particularly interested in drawing
I feel like it's best to just look at my twitter media or my color gallery to get the idea, or feel free to just ask me! I hope to have a better list eventually, but an incomplete list is as follows. I'm always in the mood for these!
gardevoir, sneasel, lucario + usual furbait suspects
womb penetration + see thru/xray
pregnancy
cross breeding
human male x anthro female
tentacles
bondage
size difference
oviposition
lactation
romance and kissy
Things I'm not interested in drawing
I may accept a submission to draw these but they may also be substantially more expensive.
Final Fantasy XIV characters
characters with very defined muscles (tons of work)
characters with gigantic breasts, hips, thighs, dicks, balls (or any combination thereof). I have an extremely low tolerance for hyper of any kind.
vore
foot fetish
references that are made using in game renders do not spark joy. I am extremely unlikely to accept characters presented this way, unless you're paying me for a ref sheet.
I won't draw these topics under any circumstances
underage
scat
vomit
diaper
Order Form
STOP
DO NOT SEND AN ORDER FORM UNTIL YOU'VE READ THE INFORMATION IN TERMS, PRICES, AND PREFERENCES PAGES LINKED IN THE HEADER
you will get an email reply from me within 24 hours about whether or not I accept your commission.
If you do not hear from me within 24 hours, check your spam.
Payment information
I accept payment through stripe. I do not have paypal because they kicked me off. Stripe is offered in many countries and you do not need an account to use it, just a debit card or one of the many other service it is integrated with, which includes cashapp.
use this link to see what payment methods are available to you.
I also offer payment through Zelle, which you do need to sign up for separately. You need to also submit the email you used to sign up with Zelle if it is different from your contact email.
Communication Preferences
Your contact email needs to be an email that you are likely to check. If you don't check your email, then I can't help you. Twitter and discord are not appropriate places for anyone to conduct business communication. I am sorry that other artists have made this practice commonplace, but it is not acceptable.
That said, it does seem necessary to provide communication through dms in some way. Try dming me on bsky if you are truly unwilling to use email to negotiate and ask questions. However I guarantee this will not be more convenient or faster than just sending an email via the form below.

FAQ
Things that people actually ask me a lot!
Are you open for commissions?
Always!
Can we chat on discord or twitter dms about a commission?
I'm sorry but these platforms might be very convenient for you to ask questions, but they make it a massive headache to keep track of commission details. I really do require you to send in a pitch via email.
When can I expect my commission to be done?
I wish I could promise you a deadline! I have tried in the past but I only end up disappointing people that way. I might take a while but I WILL finish your commission!
Aren't you charging way too little for your sketches?
Emphatically, yes. But it's gotten harder to get commission work at all. I also believe what I'm doing works as it follows a particular strategy to achieve efficiency.
Your color work is so much more expensive than your sketches, why?
Painting is just that much harder. It requires a much greater mental investment. I live (or die) by how much my ADHD allows me to do shit I'm not interested in. Even when I wanna do it, it's still a pain in the ass, it's still hard.
My work kicks ass. I am exhausted of charging less than what I think I'm worth.
Times are hard, and you don't want to pay those prices? That's perfectly fine with me. The market is turbo saturated with starving artists who work for peanuts. Go hire them!
