About Me

I graduated my BFA Honours program at the U of S in 2026.My username is traulisms on most platforms, but the real world calls me Pen, so feel free to call me that too. I use any pronouns.

terms of service

Payment
- For commissions above $50 USD, I accept half up front, half at end payment through PayPal invoice or VGen. Otherwise I do full upfront unless otherwise requested.
Process
- When I'm ready to start your commission I will contact you with a price and go over the commission's details if necessary. If the total ends up out of your price range for any reason, just let me know.
- Once the invoice/proposal is sent I will begin working on the sketch(es).
- Once finished, the sketch(es) will be sent to you. Any changes can be made at this stage, so make sure the composition is to your liking!
- After a sketch is approved, I usually go forward with painting and finishing the commission. I may update on more occasions if the commission is complex or as requested.
- Once the final version is approved and payment is made, I will send the finished file (300 dpi png).
What I'll Draw
- My commissions prices are mainly for humanoid characters and creatures, but feel free to request anything you'd like.
- I will only draw real people if they are personal gifts for friends/family, live-action characters, or portraits of the commissioner.
- artistic nudity and suggestive art is OK
TOS
- This is a purchase for a piece of digital artwork, so no physical item will be shipped.
- Refunds will not be provided unless I am unable to complete the artwork under unforeseen circumstances.
- Reproduction of personal work for commercial use is prohibited. Please do not claim authorship of the work (there is no requirement to credit me every time the art is used, but any credit is appreciated).
- I retain the copyright to the work. I may use your commission for showcase in a portfolio or on social media unless you have paid for a private commission. I will not use the finished work for commercial purposes.
