who, me?

(possibly a slime in spider shape)Hiya! I'm Glimglam, an amateur digital artist that's been drawing stuff for most of my tired young life, although it wouldn't be until my high-school years were behind me that I got into it seriously. I enjoy art as a hobby for the most part although I would certainly love to be able to do it more as a way to support myself financially, too!My sona is a funny fuzzy spider-girl-thing named Chalice. You'd think being arachnid-adjacent would put a fair few people off but I'm told she's rather cute. You be the judge.

Commission Information

Current Status: CLOSED
Queue backlog in progress.Expected time to reopen commission slots will be Mid-Late April.

How 2 Commission Me

Whenever I open commissions, I'll usually do so by opening a submission form and posting a notice on my social accounts (usually Bluesky). You may enter up to TWO submissions at once, but I will only accept ONE submission per client. After a period of about 1-3 days (depends on the number of available slots/the type of commission being offered), the form will be closed and I will begin the process of sorting through the submissions.Within the next day or so, I will reach out to the clients whose commissions I have chosen to take on. Though I will try and be fair and accommodating to as many people as possible, if I am forced to choose between too many submissions at once, I will generally prioritize the commissions that A) appeal to my interests the most, and/or B) have the shortest possible turnaround time/effective workload. Few things feel worse than getting bogged down in a single large commission for an extended period of time on top of having other work to do, so I may shy away from larger proposals, but do not be afraid to suggest them regardless, as I will always at least consider them.Once all commissions have been confirmed, I will require clients pay up-front before I can start work on the commission. The PayPal invoice will be emailed to clients, and although there is technically no hard deadline to paying for it, I can't start work on a commission until it has been paid in full.After a commission has been started, it usually doesn't take more than a few days for me to finish it, schedule permitting. The point when I start your commission, however, is based on various factors: the size of the queue, the amount of free time I have (I work an IRL job still), personal obligations and commitments, and my general well-being. This can be as little as a few days to a few weeks, up to a month. I'll do my best to be as open and transparent about the process as possible, but if you hear nothing from me, then it is probably because I have not yet started your commission.I'll always provide at least one WIP of the sketch/early linework to request feedback and input. You are able to ask for revisions/alterations at this stage. After you have approved a sketch, please be aware that any more major revisions once I've started finishing the work may likely incur a revision fee (usually around $20-$30) depending on the extent of the changes.

Terms & Conditions

When you submit a commission request, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms:[General Terms]
• You must be 18 years of age or older to commission me.
• You must pay your invoice in full (or make at least a single payment, if this was agreed upon prior) before the commission can be started.
• The price of a commission is subject to change due to increasing complexity of the work involved. If the client requests further edits that extend beyond the scope of the original cost, they may incur additional charges. Clients will be informed if a revision will incur such a fee.
• Clear visual references are REQUIRED for all commissions. You may include textual descriptions if you have a pose or altered trait in mind, but it is preferred if you gave other visual references of these as well.
• Certain commission batches may have certain rules or themes that are not addressed in these terms; please be aware of them if necessary.Further, and while this shouldn’t need to be said: Please remember ‘the human’. Be clear and cordial in your messages. Poor behavior and conduct will not be tolerated, and may result in your commission being canceled. Refunds may or may not be provided depending on the state of your commission at the time.[Usage & Copyright Terms]
I, Glimglam (the artist), hold all rights to the commissioned work itself; not the client. Therefore, this means that I, as the copyright holder, am allowed to:
• Use the work in public spaces for the purpose of self-promotion.
• Post the work on public galleries and social media sites.
• Claim ownership of the work itself.
• Include the work in art books or packs that may be sold for profit.
• Indirectly benefit from all income that may be earned as a result of displaying the work, ie. through advertising or subscription services such as Patreon.You, the client, are allowed to:
• Print and display the work for personal use only, unless contractually agreed otherwise.
• Claim rights to the character depicted in the work, but not the work itself.
• Use the work for self-promotion, to post on public spaces as they desire, but only with proper credit given to the original artist (Glimglam).Breaking these terms of service will result in your personal use license of the work to be revoked, and possible blacklisting from further service.Examples of copyright infringement are as follows:
• Reproducing and using the copyrighted work for commercial purposes without a commercial license. (Simply put, selling the piece as a print or merch in any way, without permission.)
• Wrongfully taking credit for the creation of the work itself.
• Removing any watermarks/signatures from the work.
• Creating unauthorized edits of the work.Commercial licenses may be provided for a one-time fee of roughly 250% of the original commission cost. This will allow you to create merchandise, prints, and other materials out of the work to sell at a profit, for use on books, covers, models, etc, and to alter and edit it for your commercial/promotional needs as required.Please note, this does NOT allow you to claim credit for the original work, you will still be required to credit me (Glimglam) as the original artist, even if it has been altered or edited in some way.[Cancellation & Refund Policy]
Please note that I, the artist, retain the right to cancel and refund the commission at any point in time for one reason or another. I will always refund your commission in full if I cannot complete it, regardless of its status.You can freely request a cancellation of your commission with no penalty if you do so before you pay for it (whether before or after receiving the invoice). Once you have paid for your commission, however, you are no longer entitled to a refund even if you wish to cancel. Please be absolutely certain you wish to proceed with the transaction before you pay your invoice.Certain exceptions to the policy may be made due to specific circumstances. If your commission is not already "in-progress" (that is, I have not yet provided a sketch/WIP of some kind to you for approval) then I may consider a cancellation request on a case-by-case basis, such as in the case of extreme delays exceeding 2 months. However, I cannot provide refunds for a commission that is already in-progress (unless I cancel it myself), or for commissions that have already been completed.

Commission Pricing

All listed prices are in $USD.
Payment is processed via PayPal invoicing.Prices are subject to change.

• SKETCHES
Simple, roughed-out drawing.
$50 per character• LINEWORK
Clean and detailed linework.
$70 per character• LINE + FLAT COLOR
The above, but with color added.
$100 per character• FULL COLOR
Lined, colored, and shaded. The works.
$130 per characterThe prices listed above are per character drawn. A commission that features more than one character in a single piece will be priced appropriately; the same character drawn twice counts as two separate characters in this case.For backgrounds, a simple background with colored shapes and/or gradients are included for free in the base price. More detailed backgrounds will incur an additional charge; how much this will be is determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the nature of the commission. This can range from $20 for a simple silhouetted background, to $80 or more if the background needs to be full-color and detailed.For edits, say if you want one version that is SFW (clothed) and one that is NSFW (nude/topless), an additional charge may apply depending on the extent of work required. The upcharge will be determined on a case-by-case basis and will be unique to each commission.Some added fees or a discount may apply depending on the nature of the commission. For example, if you want me to draw one of my own characters, I'll offer a discount. But if you want me to draw/design a character for you without a visual reference, there will be an added fee to do so.

Things I Will Draw... Or Won't

If there is something you want from me that isn't covered by this list, then please feel free to ask me questions via Bluesky/Discord DM!As a general rule, I retain the right to turn down a commission for any reason if I do not feel comfortable doing it or have cause to think that I would not deliver a product that is to my standards.

Preferred Content
• SFW or NSFW.
• Anthros.
• Your OCs and/or fanart of characters from existing IPs. Please provide good reference images for OCs if you can!
• Basic backgrounds and props.
• Various fetishes that include but are not limited to: hyper, growth/expansion, 3B (breast/butt/belly) focus, transformation, gender swaps, pregnancy, size difference, some level of fat/weight gain, and others. A good metric to go by is my own backlog of content. If unsure, please ask.
• Girls and other feminine-leaning characters.Ask Me First
• Humans. I find them boring, personally, but I’ll consider it if you give me a compelling concept.
• NSFW of male/masculine characters. I generally prefer drawing female/female-leaning characters and thus I am much more practiced with them. I can TRY it in a pinch but don't count on it going over well.
• Characters with detailed and emphasized musculature, and complex mechanical details (armor, weapons, etc).
• Detailed backgrounds. This will influence the price of the commission!
• Three or more characters in view at once.
• Anything involving your OCs interacting with mine.
• Reference sheets. These are pretty involved and will require a lot of work!
• Explicit sexual acts; penetrative sex, fellatio, and the like. I've never drawn anything of this and (probably) never will on my own, so please take that into consideration. There are better artists than me for that kind of thing.Won't Do, Don't Ask
• Certain fetishes that include but are not limited to: scat, watersports, diapers, vore/unbirth, extreme fat/WG, and others. If something you may want is not listed here, then please ask before you commission me.
• Gore, violence, blood, and other visually-disturbing imagery. Unless you don't know what I draw, then what are you doing here?
• Content that is bigoted or hateful in nature. Asking will get you blacklisted.
• Anything involving characters that are underage (ie, cub, loli/shota). Asking will get you blacklisted.
