♥ Chérie

Liefe / Chérie @jisunshines

Hello,
I love to draw game characters, especially Fire Emblem related ones.
This commission is designed mainly for FE fans, but others are more than welcome too!

I am kind of nervous as I post this, since I never opened commission on the English web before.
I hope you like my art!

* This commission will go on til August.
It could be temporarily closed after September on. *

❀ What Kind of Commission? ❀

This commission will mainly be all about my art & frames & other ornaments.

I will draw according to your request, then insert the drawing
inside one of many decorative frames I have purchased so far.
During the color sketch confirmation step, I will also show you a series of frames
that I think goes well with the art/character, and you will be given a choice to pick what you like!
For further explanation and most precise examples, please look at the SAMPLES BELOW.

All the frames and ornaments that will be used are either legally purchased
with the right to use in this commission, or are free elements,
for which I contacted the creator personally and earned the permission for this commission.
Some of the samples(#7, #10, #11) include free decorative elements
that I have not asked for the permission personally,
but such will not be used for this purpose to avoid any awkward situations.

* You can order without the frames too--in which case I will draw your request
so that it will look complete in its own way!
* You can reserve your slot even when they're full.

❀ YES / NO / PROCESS ❀

※ YES, I can draw ※

Hetero-sexual, Yuri, Your OCs, MUs, Any fanarts, Gender-swap, etc.
Also (most)ANY FIRE EMBLEM CHARACTERS! :)

I would especially love to draw your MUs from the Fire Emblem series. I love seeing people's MUs!!
If you are ordering an OC besides FE MUs and do not have a visual portrayal of your character,
the more specific the explanation is, the better.(Hair color, eye color, personality, etc...)
If you would like a transparent background instead of white, please tell me ahead of time.

※ NO, I won't draw ※

Gory, Too much violence, Controversial animes/games including Hetalia, Attack on Titan, Kankolle.

There could be other subjects I would rather not work on,
if I personally have a hard time with a certain character/pairing...but I promise I'm not picky!
I'm okay with a lot of stuff, so when in doubt, just ask and I will tell you gently--I won't bite!

※ PROCESS ※

Contact me via email -> Discuss request & set schedule -> Payment ->
-> (OCs) Designing sketches (max 2 times)
-> Sketch feedback (max 2 times) -> Colored sketch feedback (max 2 times)
-> Show and choose the frames and ornaments
(if you cannot decide which one to use, you can just have candidates from which I will pick.)
-> I will send the completed art to you first, then upload on my page with watermark.

The final product will be unveiled on my page unless you don't want others to see it.

* My work environment: I work with fairly large canvas most of the time.
Likely, the commissioned work will be at 300 dpi, around 1000~2000px.

* As you can see, my strength is when it comes to age 30↓.
I could still draw older people or muscular figures, but note that I can't guarantee the outcome.

* I assure you, I don't hate Boys' Love. I just rarely draw it, and again, I can't guarantee the outcome.

* I will try to finish the request within 2 week frame.
If I have other needs to attend and cannot avoid being late,
I will make sure to contact you and let you know.

* All the commissioned work will have my signatures,
and can possibly be used for my commission portfolio.
It will also be uploaded to my Twitter/Tumblr/etc with watermark.
However, if you would like to keep the art to yourself, just tell me and I shall do none of those.
It is your commission and a work just for you, after all!

* Should you cancel the order AFTER the sketch feedback stage, I will return only 70% of your payment.
Should you cancel the order AFTER the color sketch feedback stage,
I will return only 50% of your payment.

* I accept commission requests only from individuals, not from companies nor groups.

* If your request is for printing purpose(ex. mug, cover for your own doujin work, etc)
I will be happy to participate in it--but you have to tell me first!
Most whatever's okay as long as you tell me ahead of time, and not abuse my artwork.
It will be good for both party, cause art for printing requires a lot more attention to small details.

* RE-SALES, SEVERE MODIFICATION OF THE WORK(minor editing such as resizing is OK),
PLAGIARISM AND CLAIMING THE WORK AS YOUR OWN WILL NOT BE ALLOWED AT ANY TIME.

❀ PRICE & PAYMENT ❀

Head ＊ $25.00

Bust ＊ $40.00   /   Bust with two people ＊ $60.00

Chibi Full-body ＊ $30.00

(FE Characters or Sheryl Nome only) Regular Full-body ＊ $80.00

* Should the clothes or other elements in the request be very detailed or complicated,
I might up-charge a little bit.
* I might draw extra ornaments or background whimsically if I think it goes well with the art/character.
* I can make your commission fit for your phone background as well! Let me know ahead of time.
* If you want the art to NOT include any of the decorative elements, there will be a 20% discount for the total price, because it will save the time and effort for thinking and placing the overall design.

If you're interested, please send me an email at cherieleafe@gmail.com. Thanks so much in advance!
The payment should be completed via Paypal, for that is the easiest way.

A sample for Yuri ;) * 

15. Chibi Full Body

 * I drew these last Christmas as my tree ornaments,
which is why the color palette is limited and why they have the boundaries on. * 

16. Regular Full Body Samples
I accept only Fire Emblem characters for this type at the moment!

Below is other samples for my usual work, just to give you a better idea.
They aren't included above for several reasons
(too old, includes what I won't be doing in the commission, etc),
but hopefully will give an idea of what my work is like.

The last two are kinda low quality but I inserted them as a pairing sample.
Of course, your commission will be higher quality than those!

❀ Frames & Elements ❀

It will be mainly frame-oriented, like SAMPLE #1, #2, #3, #8,
rather than the decorative stickers you can see below, such as cupcakes and bouquets--
however, I will gladly insert other items as well if you want.
This page only includes the Sozai books I own, but I will also be using Tudu'uzu's from pixiv.
(SAMPLE #1, #2 are her frames)
I have her permission to use her work in this commission. Thank you, Tudu'uzu!
She said her frames are not high-res, though, so if you want her frame,
the final product might be small in size overall (her frames are usually around 800px*800px)
or might look pixelated in bigger sizes.
These pictures will also enlarge when clicked.
