MORE ABOUT THE WEBMASTER?!

My name's Byte (or Tori, which-ever goes), and I'm a subversive hobbyist digital artist who's heavily inspired by the neo-y2k and frutiger movement of the 2020s and visionary art!My works combine all sorts of internet culture with rebellious themes, 90s-2000s nostalgia, Japanese influence, and futurism. Specific inspirations range from the universally-known Yuji Uekawa; RebelTaxi; and Hideyuki Takenami; to obscure, underrated artists like Kikita Katsue of Fantasmcore Graphics and PHASH:MA; and null500 of 日本國民 (Nihonkokumin). I do my magic on IbisPaint X on my phone w/ my finger.

TERMS OF SERVICE!!

Payment + Requesting:

  • Ko-fi + Paypal only!! No refunds!

  • I only accept payments in USD at the moment.

  • All payments are paid upfront.

  • I'd prefer if you give me a description of the commission before paying, but you have 3 days to pay before I turn down the offer. Do not ghost me.

  • If there are outside circumstances preventing you from doing the above, do explain it beforehand.

  • It's best to send me references to your character and/or draw a quick sketch of what you expect your desired commission to look like. It helps me improve my art by a margin!

  • You may not use my art for AI or NFT/crypto-related purposes.

  • You may order at most two artworks of the same character a year. This is to prevent oversaturation.

The Process:

  • I will constantly update you on the progress. (Sketch -> Lineart -> Coloring -> Background Design)

Posting/Uploading:

  • I reserve the right to use the final piece however I want, but I will always mention the person who commissioned me. Only exception is if the commissioner wants to stay anonymous.

  • Commercial use is not allowed.

  • You can post your commission anywhere, as long as you credit me and don't remove my watermark.

What happens if I'm blacklisted?
The punishments may vary depending on the situation.

  • 1-month blacklists include ghosting me (such as failing to submit a payment within 3 days, or failure to respond to any of my DMs). (First-time only)

  • When you get temporarily blacklisted, you can still donate. You just cannot commission me until the duration of your blacklist expires.

  • After the expiration, you will be on a leniency; repeated offenses will result in harsher punishments.

  • Misusing your commission (such as removing my watermark or profiting off of my work), violating your blacklist duration, and "prank/troll commissions" will get you permanently blacklisted, meaning a hardblock on all of my socials.

  • If your name is on the blacklist as a preemptive measure, then you're permanently not allowed to interact. It means you've made me feel extremely uncomfortable.

COMMISSIONS!!

Click on the sheet to zoom in

Keep in mind that:

  • My art is slightly evolving over time, so the style may or may not be different from how the sheet looks.

  • If you choose to order a colored commission, everything will be fully rendered.

  • For sketch commissions, you're free to finish/color the original as long as you don't heavily modify it. You can post it anywhere as long as you credit me for the base sketch.

Will do:

  • OCs

  • Fanart or OC x Canon (depending on my familiarity of the character/series + the character designs)

  • Humanoid characters

  • Mild NSFW (suggestive themes, partial/artistic nudity, etc.)

Maybe?

  • Some dynamic poses (just send me references)

  • Robots/Mecha (as long as they're not detailed)

  • Weapons (as long as they're not overly complex)

  • IRL People (as long as they don't involve any famous figures)

Won't do:

  • Animals/Furries (sorry orz)

  • Bigoted/hateful content

  • Politics

  • Complex backgrounds

  • Most problematic/controversial media (any of Vivziepop's works, South Park, Countryhumans, etc.); exceptions may apply depending on my personal interests

  • Heavy NSFW/NSFL (strong gore, explicit sexual content)

  • Media I choose to no longer associate myself with (FNF and Super Doomspire)
