COMMISSION TOS

Commissions currently OPEN for Spring 2026 graduation stoles!General Information:
- Stoles are painted using acrylic paint. Please do not wash or use excessive heat (e.g., steaming/ironing your stole, etc.) to ensure longevity of paint.
- Stoles will be designed on the iPad. Please note that the design will appear differently on the stole as they are hand painting, and paint interacts differently on fabric than it does on paper.
- Customer is responsible for sending me the stole. This can be done either 1) shipping stole directly to me or 2) sending payment for me to order the stole on your behalf. I am based in Bay Area, California.
- I will send the stole back to you free-of-charge. Expedited shipping is available on request.
- Turn-around time, excluding shiping time, is about a week (2-4 days of painting, 2+ days of drying). Total turn-around time, including time to design and ship, is usually around 2-4 weeks.
- When contacting me, please let me know your school/stole color. I will design around the base color that I am provided with.Preferred Designs / Things I can do:
- Abstract, flowy designs. Examples: water, smoke, clouds, fish, etc.
- Small decorative things. Examples: flowers, leaves, stars, butterflies, etc.
- Subtle references to fandoms (will focus largely on motifs).Things I cannot do:
- Very thin line work, overly complex/detailed designs (e.g., character art, etc.), script. Gradients on the stole itself.
- NSFW, gorey, and anything that may come off as hurtful or insensitive.Working Method:
- Communication via Discord is preferred. Other forms of communication available on request.
- I will send a design based on client requests on the iPad.
- Prior to painting, I will map out the design on the stole using paper. Since I am unable to "erase" on the stole, this helps ensure placement is satisfactory for the client.
- I will send updates throughout the painting process. Client can request changes during this time. Please note that I can only add, not subtract.
- I will send updates throughout the drying period. Acrylic paint tends to dry darker, and if needed I can lighten values as needed.
- Stoles need to dry for at least 2 days prior to shipping. After this dry time, package will be shipped using USPS. Tracking number will be provided.Payment Method:
- Payment is accepted via Zelle. Other payment options are available on request.
- Based on initial request, I will provide an quote. This amount may be updated following the finalization of design depending on complexity of design. This will be communicated to client promptly.
- A $25 deposit/design fee is required prior to starting. This is for designing your stole on the iPad. Up to 3 revisions will be provided free-of-charge. Additional changes will cost $5 per revision.Once this sketch is approved, I will request client to send me their stole to me. If client requests a repeat of a prior design, this deposit is still required, but will be deducted from total fee.
- 50% of the remaining fee is required prior to me start of painting.
- Final remaining 50% is required prior to shipping the stole back to client.Prices:
- Prices are in USD. These prices do not include the cost of the stole itself.
- Commissions start at $125, with an additional $25 design fee for new/original designs.
- Median price is $175 ($150 + $25 design fee). This is for a medium-sized design.
