SeaSaltShrimp's commissions
Thank you for the interest in commissioning me! Please be sure to read my Terms Of Service before filling the form for a slot.Though exceptions happen, I usually do not take on new comms outside of slot openings. You can follow my social media accounts (links below) to be notified as soon as I am available for new commission work.
Twitter is where I usually announce slot openings a few days in advance.I can answer questions at any time, so if you need extra info you can send me a DM through social media!Current status: Closed!
You can support me on my Patreon if you'd like, on top of bonus art I also offer exclusive commission slots there, which are open at all times!
Where to find me:
Last updated: Aug 18, 2023
Commissioning me means you agree with my terms below, which may change at any time. Please read them carefully, as I can cancel your commission if I feel my terms are being clearly ignored.
- You MUST be 18 years or older to order a commission from me.
- Payment via Paypal invoice only.
- I do not do reservations or waitlists.
- I have the right to decline or cancel a commission if I do not feel confident drawing it adequately, or because of rude/inappropriate behavior.
- I have the right to post the commissioned work anywhere and at any time on social media (unless requested otherwise by the client), or to keep it private.
- I have the right to recycle poses and WIPs that went unused due to being scrapped or cancelled, for personal or paid artwork (excluding character designs and other elements that are owned by the client).
- I get overwhelmed by small talk and will not engage in conversation unrelated to the commission.
Client Rights
- The client can request their commission to be kept private, and I will not upload it to any of my galleries. ( be sure to let me know in advance, as I will sometimes stream or post WIPs on social media)
- The client can ask to stay anonymous when I upload the art (except if your commission is a gift, I don't want to give someone possible stress with a "mystery gift").
- The client may upload the image anywhere they choose, with credit given to me when necessary.
- The client may use their commission for anything personal: wallpaper, print, ref sheet, icon, etc.
- The client may resize, crop the image, add a flat-color BG to transparent files, add text to ref sheets, and other similar edits that do not require art alterations.
- The client may NOT alter the art itself (such as editing an arm or character's expression), without my permission.
- The client may NOT use the artwork for commercial use, without discussing it with me beforehand.
- None of my artwork may be used in ANY blockchain-related technology, including NFTs, cryptocurrency, or any past, present OR future blockchain-associated technologies.
Payment and Process
- I will send you a rough, low-res sketch for approval, at this stage any requested change will be made for free.
I will send you an invoice once the rough sketch is approved. I will then usually make a more refined sketch if necessary, and show you the result for a second approval.Exception: Sketch-type commissions need to be fully paid upfront before I send any WIPs.I will begin inking/rendering the commission once full payment has been received. You will have up to 14 days to accept the invoice, going past this without warning me of any delay will get your slot cancelled.- I am totally FINE with the client redlining my sketch if you want to point out something specific I should edit, go ahead and doodle over the WIPs I send you!
- The WIPs I send usually only consist of the sketch stage, unless I need extra feedback (i.e. ref sheet commissions), or if progress is slow (i.e. complex images). If you would like additional WIPs, please let me know in advance!
- Additional changes to the pose or expression after the lineart has been started is likely to cost extra.
- You will get a high resolution of the finished work. I clean up my files every few months, so be sure to save it as I may no longer have it in the future!
** Turnaround time**
Depending on commission complexity, my current queue, personal situation etc, finishing one single image can vary from a few days to several weeks.
Additionally, anything with a complex level of rendering can easily take up to a month -or longer- while actively working on it, which can slow down the progress on the rest of my queue.If you commission me, please be aware that it might take some time for me to get started on your piece! For this reason payment won't be asked until I start working on a sketch.
Once I have started your commission, I usually send progress updates every 1-2 weeks for slower projects. If you were not given an update during that time, feel free to ask for one.You can also check my Trello to stay updated on my commission queue and the progress on each slot. -> https://trello.com/b/cDCviEn1/art-queue
Cancellation and Refunds- If for a personal reason I am unable to finish your commission, full refund will be given.- You can remove yourself from the commission list at any time for any reason. If you cancel the commission before I have shown you any WIP, no payment will be requested.
- If you cancel after seeing the sketch, I will refund 50%. I will be allowed to use the scrapped sketch for a different personal or commission work.
- Once the commission has been fully completed, or is very near completion, I will not offer refunds.

How to order a commission:- First make sure to have read my TOS found here!
- Next send me a DM on my Deviantart or Twitter, filling out the following information:
• Commission type:
• Rendering style: Cell, Semi-detailed or Complex (if appliable)
• Character reference/s:
• Additional info: Pose, expression, background, mood, anything specific you'd like me to know. You can also send a link to music I can use as inspiration, or even a stickman doodle to illustrate your idea! I will have free rein if no info is given to me.
• Email for the invoice:
- My commissions are not first-come-first-served! My form remains open for a few days so that you don't have to be early to get picked. I choose slots based on what I feel capable doing at the time.
- If you get no reply by the time I close my form, this means that you weren't picked this time around (this makes it easier for me to sort through the ones I picked, and it can get overwhelming if I have too many to reply to!).
- You are free to send me the same form again the next time I open slots if you are still interested.
