FAQ


No. I do not have an open waitlist. If you would like a slot, you will need to wait for the application period to apply. The selected applications will be added to a queue that I will work through.

Applications open every 3~5 months. (This is not set in stone and can change depending on other non related work) The application period will last a few days, and accepted applicants will be contacted and confirmed over the course of the following week. Please expect 1 week of downtime as I carefully look over applications.

I will announce once every accepted applicant has been messaged and confirmed. Due to the number of applications I receive, I cannot message every person who I am not able to accept. Due to this, I recommend that you keep an eye on this site as well as my twitter during that period of time.

Yes. I will only be accepting finished PSDs for applications, as I need to confirm the layer and part setup.

There are a few main things that will make me more inclined to accept your application. Nicely layered PSDs, permission to live stream the process, and flexible schedules. I do also prefer people who plan to be actively using their model! It's always nice to be able to see the work I've done in motion (*´∀`)

There will be areas to include details about your desired commission, including things such as: Desired toggles, expressions and animations, deadline flexibility and schedule, PSD upload, PayPal email for invoicing, tracking method you will be using, as well as permission for me to livestream working on your model. Please note that I do prefer being able to livestream the work over not.

In general, it will take anywhere from 2~4 weeks to complete a complex full body rig.

I will look at each person's schedules and adjust to ideally fit everyone's time frame and flexibility. In the case that 2 people have the same general desired deadline, I will try to work with both parties to adjust the schedule. Because of this, I do prefer to go with clients who are more flexible with their timelines.

Do not beg me for a slot. I will look at all potential client's applications and decide on a select few. I am not able to accept every commission, and I often recommend applying to other rigger's applications as there is no guarantee that I will take on your commission when you apply.Commissions will be worked on one at a time, with possible exceptions depending on client-side delays.

*If PSD correction notes are needed, in the case that it exceeds 1 page, a $50 charge will be added for every additional page.*Additional outfits and hairstyles will vary in price depending on how different they are from the original model, as well as the amount of parts/layers. If possible, I ask for the pose of the alternate outfit to be the same as the original outfit, for highest efficiency.*For additional outfits or hairstyles, I will not do these for the initial commission. These will have to be scheduled at a later time, apart from the original model's rigging. This is to prevent burnout!

Terms of Service

Overall

  • I have the right to refuse any project.

  • The finished model files given to the client are for runtime only. Live2D project files for the model will not be given to the client.

  • I require credit to be clearly written in an easy to see place. This should be in your Twitter/SNS bio and about page on your channel.

  • Clients must fully disclose any planned dates for debuts of the rigged model, and deadlines cannot be hastened after the commission process has been started.

  • Clients are not permitted, under any circumstances, to use any part of their commissioned art and or rig for non fungible tokens. Use of my art and or rigging for any advertising or profits associated with non fungible tokens or cryptocurrency is strictly prohibited.

Applications and Process

  • In most cases, I will not rig a previously rigged model. There are rare exceptions, and in those cases I require written permission from both the model artist and the original live2d rigger.

  • Individual slots will not be taken until I have confirmed details with the client and have decided to take on the project.

  • Up to 3 revisions are offered while the model rigging is in progress. Once the first version of the final model is sent to the client, up to 5 minor revisions will be offered. Additional revisions will be subject to a fee. (starting at 3% of total price)

  • I require a 2~4 week window for finishing the project. This window starts when I begin your project, and not when you take a slot or are added to the waitlist.

  • In the case that permission is given to livestream working on your commission, there is a possibility that I will test the movement of your model with tracking software on stream.

Payment

  • I do not offer refunds. I only accept payment once I am ready to start on a project.

  • Express will be an additional cost that will be discussed with the client. Depending on the design or overall complexity of the commission, I may not be able to accept it if the deadline is still too tight. In cases like these, I am open to discussing pushing certain parts of the rigging to a later date.

  • Payment can be split up by part (Art and/or Rigging) but must be paid upfront before I begin to work on the part of the project.

  • Invoices will be made and sent via PayPal. Payments will only be accepted through PayPal.


Workflow

  • Commission application is taken via Google Forms; in the week following the closing of the applications, applicants that were accepted are contacted

  • Client confirms the final quote, as well as project timeline

  • Invoice sent to client (via PayPal)

  • Invoice is paid; work on the commission begins

  • Progress videos or pictures are sent to the client throughout the work period; adjustments are made according to any feedback

  • Once the model is complete, a .zip file with the runtime model folder for Vtube Studio is sent to the client

  • If there are any small adjustments desired by the client after trying out the model, these points will be fixed and a new version of the files will be sent

  • If tracking settings need any adjustments, assistance will be provided to the client

  • If the client would like additions or new things added to the model at a later time, scheduling can be discussed. Current commissions will be prioritized over any adjustments or additions for past models
