COMMUNICATION
You can chat with me through my email, one of my twitter accs (not my main please), instagram, kik, or my discord!
If you have a deadline, please be sure that you state so in your commission form. If your deadline is under 2 weeks, be aware a rush fee* will be added to your final total
I will contact you within 4 days after receiving your comm form to tell you if I am accepting or declining your order.
Please don't get aggressive with me if I haven't responded to your email/dm. Just shoot me another email/text and wait for me to get back to you! Just don't spam me please.
If you become too aggressive/difficult to work with, I will blacklist you and refuse further communication.
RUSH FEE

Once you order a rush fee with your commission, your comm will be my top priority and will be put at the top of my queue
