Animated Commissions

Animated Commission Info
♥ I typically animate in a cut-out style and am proficient in character acting, loops, etc. If you are interested in an animation that is more action-focused, I recommend seeking out an artist who is focused in that area.♥ Animated commissions are charged on a "per frame" basis
What “per frame” means:
- Each frame represents one snapshot of your character in motion.
FPS can be adjusted based on your needs, IE:
Lower FPS: fewer frames per second = less smooth, lower cost
Higher FPS: more frames per second = smoother motion, higher cost
| 12 FPS | vs | 24 FPS |
♥ Static / Duplicate Frames
- If a frame is identical to the previous frame (e.g., holding a pose, blinking, or looping), it does not count toward pricing.Optional shading, props, background, and extra characters available for additional cost.

Price may increase with character complexity (IE extra limbs, features, etc that will require extra drawings and deformations) or if you do not have a reference turnaround ready for me to work off of.

Commission Terms of Service
The term "client" refers to the person(s) who are purchasing the commission.
The term "artist" refers to ashidaii
The client must provide the artist with references of the characters and/or persons to be depicted in the artwork (unless the commission is a design commission). Inability to provide references will either result in commission denial or a design fee.
Wait times for completed commissions can range from 1-3 months (or more for animated/rig commissions). If there is a specific deadline needed for a project, a 10%-20% rush fee will be offered to have it completed within a needed scope.
Usage of Purchase
The client is not authorized to use any art created by the artist in image generation / AI / or generative models of any kind.
Purchasing a commission from the artist grants the client PERSONAL USE of your digital copy, which means the client cannot in any way use the art for commercial purposes. Personal use encompasses, but is not limited to: The posting of art in character galleries, cropping for icons and/or graphics, etc. If reuploaded to social media please include credit to the artist.
The client is not allowed to to use any received images for commercial purposes (e.g. selling merchandise (stickers, tee shirts, mugs, etc.), using as a display for a business or ticketed event, or as advertisement)
You are absolutely not authorized to use any art I create for you in image generation / AI / generative models of any kind.
Commercial and Professional Use
If you interested in work that will be used commercially or by a business (animation/production, display illustrations used in event or business spaces, advertisement, or usage for goods) please send an email to [email protected] to discuss your project needs.
Pricing for commercial/professional work is not reflected on this page.
Content
The artist will not draw "Not Safe For Work" content, including by not limited to: fetish content, pornographic content, discriminatory or inflammatory content, excessive gore/violence. Pin-up styled content, cartoon violence, and minor depictions of blood do not fall under this category.
The artist will not draw an OC that does not belong to the client without permission from the owner. This applies to characters from indie content as well, but not characters from commercial properties.
The client may request that a commission is created in a specific art style from another work. The artist will not replicate styles of other independent artists or projects.
Revisions
Free revisions are intended for minor adjustments (colors, proportions, small pose tweaks, etc.). Major changes that significantly alter the character's design, composition, or animation may be treated as a new work and quoted separately. To prevent this, please insure to communicate any major revision requests in the rough or sketch phases of the commission..
Revisions requested after final file delivery will result in a fee based on time and complexity.
Payments, Refunds, and Cancellations
Payments will be sent via an email invoice, payable via Stripe. If the client is unable to pay through this method other payment platforms can be discussed.
Commissions priced below $150 must be paid fully in advance. Commissions priced $150 and above can be split with 30-40% upfront (booking fee), 30-40% midway through the project (after roughs/lines), and the remaining 20%-40% at final delivery.
The artist reserves the right to deny or cancel the commission at any stage.
Once the final agreed product is delivered to the client, a refund is not permitted. All changes and/or full/partial refunds must be made during the conception of the image.
Refund amounts will be adjusted to reflect the amount of work completed on a project.
Failure on the artist's part to deliver a product on a project that has a deadline as agreed on by the artist and the client will result in a full refund unless an extension has been discussed.
