Hi! I'm Lukey or Luke, a 21 year old Japanese American digital illustrator. I specialize in anthros and misc. illustrations, OC or otherwise! Thank you for considering commissioning me; please click on the links below or continue scrolling to be directed to my information.

PRICES & EXAMPLES

I have the right to refuse service for a commission regardless of what is stated in the following lists. Prices are not final and will change with complexity. Listed price is per-character, and NSFW content will incur an additional charge as well. Please contact me for a quote if you would like something unlisted in my prices! I offer monochrome options at a reduced price as well.

  • Original characters

  • Fanart

  • Humanoids

  • Furry/anthro/kemono

  • Monsters and dragons

  • Romantic pairings/ship

  • Blood/horror

  • 18+ clients only: NSFW, suggestive content, tasteful nudity

LINED & CLEANED

Commissions in this style will place an emphasis on details and clean lineart. Turnaround times will be substantially longer due to the time needed to complete these. I may paint on shading for characters with simple patterns.

  • Full color: +$15

  • Shading: +$23

HALFBODIES

SKETCHES

Turnaround times are much faster with sketches, and prices are always lower. Note that this style is somewhat messy; I will typically not correct minor coloring errors.

CHIBIS

Chibi style commissions will feature deformed proportions and simplified details. Turnaround times for these are relatively quick. Chibis will always be fully colored and will include simple shading or some additional effects. Proportions may vary slightly.

CHIBI

  • sketch: $40

  • lined & cleaned: $60

  • 1:1 aspect ratio: +$10

CUSTOM

With this commission type, I can either create an entirely original character design or redesign a preexisting one. Turnaround times and pricing will vary based on complexity. Please note that requesting multiple sets of wings will always incur a complexity fee. Custom designs will always be colored fullbodies and may feature simple shading in order to convey certain textures or materials (e.g., gold or other metals). Additional examples can be found here.

CUSTOMS

  • Sketch: $75

  • Lined & cleaned: $113

  • Additional sketch bust: +$37

  • Additional lined bust: +$56

  • Handwritten or typed notes: +$1-5

LINELESS SKETCH

I provide this style as a budget option as it takes the least amount of time for me to complete. Proportions will be slightly deformed and simplified, and there may be minor errors in coloring. Commissioners can request preexisting characters or custom designs and redesigns for this option. These will always be colored fullbodies.

LINELESS SKETCH

  • messy sketch fullbody: $35

  • cleaned sketch fullbody: $45

  • additional sketch headshot: $10

  • Handwritten or typed notes: +$1-5

PWYW EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental artwork. Typically lineless; every piece is a little bit different in terms of finish. This option is closer to my style during Art Fights. Complexity and quality will go up with amount paid. This is a excellent option for creative freedom commissions.

EXPERIMENTAL

  • Pay what you want, Minimum $30

TERMS OF SERVICE

By commissioning me you automatically agree to my terms of service. Please read them fully before commissioning me. Failure to comply will result in being blacklisted from commissioning me in the future.

  • Payment: Payment for any commission must be sent before work is started. This may be in full, or 50% upfront, and 50% after completion. Payment plans can be discussed for commissions over $200.

  • Turnaround time: Commissions may take up to six months to be completed. If you suspect I have lost your commission request, please contact me ASAP. I send regular updates when progress on your commission is made, but it may take me a while to begin your commission. Please expect a long wait when commissioning me. I do not do deadlines.

  • Refunds: I reserve the right to completely refund a commission if I am unable to complete it. You may request a full refund if I have taken over 6 months to complete a commission, and I will add you to a waitlist to refund you as soon as I can. Otherwise, if you cancel a commission before this, you will be added to a waitlist and I will only refund 80% of the commission. Note that if your commission has been partially completed when you request a refund, I will only refund you the amount that is incomplete. Do not commission me if you are not confident with your finances.

  • Chargebacks: Chargebacks will result in an automatic blacklist. Instead, please contact me to receive a refund.

  • Edits: As I contact my commissioners frequently during my drawing process, I may ask you if you have any suggested changes. Please request changes in these windows of time, as it becomes progressively harder to modify the artwork the closer it gets to completion. I do not offer minor changes to your commission if a week has passed since its completion.

  • Reposting and usage: Please provide some form of credit when reposting artwork you have commissioned. Additionally, I request that you ask for permission before making edits to pieces you have commissioned. I generally do not allow commissioned works to be used for commercial purposes (i.e., merchandise, prints, charms, etc.), NFTs, or to be fed to AIs. However, we can discuss commercial usage at increased prices. If you would like to opt out of having your commission used as an example or posted to my Twitter, please specify this before your commission's completion. You may also request to remain anonymous when I post or use your commission.

FORM

I now exclusively take commissions through Google Forms! Please click here to be taken to the form. While I will see all responses, I may not accept every request I receive depending on the number of responses. However, I am likely to accept most requests. Feel free to contact me if you are curious as to if your request was accepted or denied.

CONTACT

The best way to contact me is through Discord or Twitter DMs! You may also contact me through my email.

ABOUT ME

Lukey/Luke | 21 | Nonbinary He/she | Japanese-Ashkenazi American
My name is Lukey! I've become a lot less public over the past few years because of my anxiety, but I am slowly learning to crawl out of my shell again. I've been dedicating myself to illustration for about 9-10 years at this point, and I teach a cartooning class to elementary and middle schoolers during the summers!
Currently, I am still a full-time student >_> In my free time I tend to play video games, work on my semi-open species project Starlyngs, or develop my characters here!
