- keep any interaction with me sfw

- my english is not the best pls bare with me if i don't understand sometimes/take time to respond/respond weirdly !!
i'm still learning (* ̄▽ ̄)b

⋆。‧˚ʚɞ˚‧。⋆

BEWARE
texting me, be prepare to receive
random emojis 🍎⭐️, exclamation marks!!
and hearts <33 frequently ♡ hehehe

⋆。‧˚ʚɞ˚‧。⋆

- i'm 18y/o and would prefer to not be dm to chat a lot/asked to be friend with by ppl under 15, ofc we can still be mutual/do art trades, etc but for our own good i would like to limit our interactions to just that.

- please use tone indicators while interacting with me (/gen, /jk, /srs, etc) i'm a pretty sensitive individual so it helps a lot! especially if don't know you !

⋆。‧˚ʚɞ˚‧。⋆

i never really had internet friends, i don't really know how to "do it right", please keep that in mind,
other than that, I prefer to become friend with someone "naturally" instead of being asked directly (makes me feel uncomfy)
for me a true and sincere friendship takes time to develop !

- There is always a respectful way you can express your opinions! Even if someone did something you think is wrong or do not share the same opinions/beliefs as you.
If you don't respect that and/or refuses to respect my or someone elses boundaries/dni you'll be blocked.

Frequently asked questions!

────── · · ୨୧ · · ──────

- do you do commission ?
Not for now but i plan to !

⋆。‧˚ʚɞ˚‧。⋆

- Why the name ''spongkekk'' ?
as far as I can remember, i've always been someone more sensitive than my peers,
being hurt quiet easily, feel things more intensely,
absorbing other ppl emotions like a sponge, this is where my name comes from lmao
(and also i love sweets, a cake based name sounded very cute :D )

- can i repost/use/print your art ?
if not stated otherwise yes, but for personal use only and you have to credit me !
you CAN NOT edit my art,
DO NOT feed ai with my art, DO NOT appropriate my art

⋆。‧˚ʚɞ˚‧。⋆

- can I reference your art ?
ofc ! actually, i'd be honored to know that you like my art enough to be inspired by it and want to reference it !
so pls don't forget to tag me if you do so that i can see it!
you're not obligated tho :3

- what are your equipment ?
traditionally: cheap sketchbook + any 0.5 mechanical pencil
digitally: my wacom intuos S bluetooth + Clip Studio Paint Pro
or
my finger + IbisPaint X on my phone

About me!

· · ୨୧ · ·
i want my art to make people feel something,
to touch their feelings! to give an emotional reaction!
to make them feel happy, want to laugh, or melancholic,
feel comforted or perhaps nostalgic

i'll do my best to reach that goal!!
while continuing to have fun creating of course (vry important)

this is for me to be assure that my effort and time won't go to waste, and for you to be assure to not lose all of your money
♡ the receipt will be a document with all the essential information of your order (date, price, component, etc)

refunds!

♡ i will fully refund you if i haven’t started working on the requested piece
after that, refunds will happen depending on the amount of work and time put into the artwork
♡ you will receive a full refund for any reason that i am unable to finish the commission

cancelling!

♡ if money isn’t sent in the span of 3 days with no follow-up message,
i will assume you’ve lost interest, and move on to the next interested person,
after that,
if you tell me that you're still interested, i will treat your order like if i just received it but you won't have to redo your order
♡ you can cancel your order just by telling me if it's before i send to you the receipt

Workflow and delivery time!

beforehand,
i want you to understand that the way i work requires clear and fluid communication from you,
this is because ultimately, the goal is to make an artwork that you will be happy with,
and to achieve that we need to work together,
---
so if you have any question really don't hesitate i will be happy to respond,
even if you have a lot, even "stupid questions" cause there is no such a thing,
---
if at some point you stop to respond without any explanation and i cannot communicate with you anymore,
i'll put your commission aside until you come back

workflow!

in the case where you have any size, resolution and/or color mode requirements, please inform me as soon as possible. If I already created the file and worked on it, I might not be able to change it.
---

1 ♡ you complete the google form and you will be added to my waitlist (you will be noticed),
as long as your are on the waitlist, can redo the google form as much as you want
2 ♡ once it's your turn, i will send to you a receipt (see in "payments!"),
and you'll have to pay for the first half of your order, I’ll ask for more details if needed and answer any of your question(s)
3 ♡ after i receive the first half of the payment, i will start to work on the commission:
ʚ i will draw one or multiple thumbnails and send them to you,
you will have to choose one, and tell me if it's ok for you,
you can completely change the composition and there is no change limitation (as far as is reasonable)
4 ♡ once we have the thumbnail, i'll start the sketch, and when finished, send it to you,
modification is still ok but not of the entire composition
5 ♡ when we have the final sketch, i will start the lineart,
and then again, send it to you, at this state, only minor modification are possible
6 ♡ once the line is good for you, i will add base colors to it, and again send it to you7 ♡ after having the base colors, i won't send pictures as regularly, only when i'm unsure8 ♡ once i have finish your order, i will let you know by sending to you the watermark/low quality version of it,
you will then have to pay the second half of your order
9 ♡ after receiving the full payment, i'll send you the full sized unwatermarked version,
the watermarked, and elses (you can see on your receipt) via mail.
once the commission is finished, no changes or edits can be made unless very small or easily done
----if you somehow lose the document,
don't hesitate to ask me to send it to you again, i will if i still have it, even if it's been years,
if you still have the receipt send it to me too so i'll be easier to find

delivery time!

♡ i don't have have any delivery time set for the moment as i'm very bad at time estimation, planning,
time management and stuffs like that (adhd),
it's also very stressful for me to set
♡ instead i will make sure to give update on almost every step of your order like you saw earlier,
for you to have a follow on your order and be sure that i am progressing on it
and to know more or less how much time is left before i finish
♡ however, the time of delivery is influenced and/or based on:
ʚ the complexity of the commission
ʚ real life issues such as health, work, study, family issues, etc
♡ i don't do rush fees, i will only work on my commissions in the order i received them,
which you can have access to in my to-do list,
adding onto that,
you can tell me if you are kind of in a hurry, i will try to adapt a bit (once it's your turn), but understands that
i work at my own pace and i don't do well under pressure so don't be pushy about that please

Custumer use!

♡ the commissioner has the right to:ʚ claim rights to the character (if theirs), but not the art itself
ʚ share/repost the watermarked version of the artwork any place they see fit, with proper credit
ʚ print the artwork for personal use only
ʚ if you use my artwork (ex: pfp), credit isn’t required but much appreciated
♡ the commissioner does not have the right to:ʚ reproduce/use my artwork commercially without my knowledge or consent
