Tomomori Valley
Tomomori Valley is a casual ARPG I'm working on at the moment. It's centered around closed species and I hope to add more features like farming and other similar games :) Please check it out!
Art & Illustration
Ya I draw, what about it??
Character Design
Sometimes I design characters to sell! If you're interested in that sort of thing, please visit my main Toyhou.se account :)
Toyhou.se Themes
I'm not especially active in the theme creating scene anymore, but I still have a good chunk of codes up if anyone is interested! (Above image is a placeholder tehe)
Quick TOS Rundown
General
Personal use only.
You may repost your purchased piece, as long as I'm still credited.
You may crop the piece or tweak it very slightly, but anything like complete recolors are prohibited.
Payment
I accept full payment after the final draft has been approved by you.
I will send you a paypal invoice. Please let me know when you've sent payment!
I will hold your money until the transaction is complete.
Contact & Workflow
You can make a commission inquiry here. If I decided to take your commission, I will send you a message on Discord and we will discuss it further!
I'll be using this [commission tracker]() to update your commission's status. If you want to ask about your commission at any point, you are definitely free to ask me!
After your piece is complete, I will send it to you and then post once you've approved. If you haven't replied in 48 hours after I've sent the piece, I'll just assume it's up to snuff and post it.
Commissions should not take more than a month.
Commission Preferences
It will help me immensely if you have a pose in mind and clear personality for your character. (Even a stick figure in a vague pose is really great!)
Always feel free to redline or edit anything I send!
What I prefer to draw:
Humanoid/Anthro
Simple, generally 'rounded' designs
Peppy/Bright characters
Fantasy themes
Monsters
Normal/Casual/Modern day designs and themes

Sci-fi Themes
What I won't/can't draw:
NSFW or sexual nudity
Heavily sexualized characters

Fees
This is not about Paypal fees, I pay those. This is too outline any extra fees/charges that might come up during the process.These will most likely fluctuate depending on the complexity of the piece.
Private Commission | +15% of final price |
Extra Character | +35% of final price |
Edits After Final Draft* | +15% of final price |
* Small edits or edits that are my fault will not be charged. This percentage will increase based on the amount of work I have to put into it.
Section I
Image Copyright and Guidelines
I, the artist, retain full and exclusive rights to the original artwork. The client may not claim it as their own or use it for anything other than personal use.
Prohibited Uses
Commercial use. Redistribution of my art for use in printed merchandise or as promotion of goods, services, NFTs, or social media pages is prohibited.
As of October 4, 2022, edits to my artwork are no longer allowed. You may crop the piece or tweak it very slightly, but anything like complete recolors are prohibited.
Permitted Uses
Cropping and similar tweaking to pieces is okay as long as I receive credit for the piece.
Reposting your commission to different sites with credit.
Section II
Code Guidelines
I, the coder, retain full and exclusive rights to the original code itself. The client may not claim it as their own.
Code is for personal, non-commercial use only! (Unless otherwise specified).
If you have permission to redistribute, then you will be hosting it yourself - I will not be hosting or providing customer service to anyone using said code.
You are free to edit the code, as long as I retain some semblance of credit.
Section III
Design Ownership
Rights of ownership.
Ownership is transferred upon receipt of full payment and the design becomes irrevocable.
All designs are for non-commercial purposes only.
You are free to redesign, use in species, use in ARPGs, use as sonas, etc. Go wild!
You do not have to credit me on every post of the design. I only require credit if someone inquires about the designer or if the design is posted to a character repository like Toyhou.se.
Reselling, Trading & Gifting
Designs can be resold up to the amount they were paid for, even if they were traded or gifted. If it was purchased for $20 and traded, it is still worth $20 and can be sold for that amount.
Additional art is not considered part of the design and will not add to the value, due to their being no agreement between I and the artist. You are free to resell any art separate from the design but I heavily encourage you to check with the original artist before doing so.
Section IV
Payment Information
I only accept payment in USD. All USD payments will be taken via paypal invoice. Please do not send payment until I specify.
It is your responsibility to confirm when the payment has been sent. Sometimes a payment will fall through and I won't know about it - this might get your piece or design stuck in limbo for longer than it should be.
Refund Policy
Refunds will be issued on a case by case basis.
No refunds will be given for completed or nearly completed commissions.
No refunds are given for design or code sales.
Commission Cancellations
I will not cancel your piece unless I am having a personal emergency, I feel like I can not provide you with a fair piece, or I feel I'm taking too long.
If I issue a cancellation:
I may give you a discount and complete it, if you like the piece.
You may receive what work I have done for free.
If you've paid, then I will issue a refund up to 75%.
If you cancel before payment, I will request ~50% of the original payment to be paid (you'll recieve the sketch). Refusal will result in a public blacklisting.
I will hold your money until the transaction is complete. I do not spend money that is not mine.
Section V
Contact and Communication
Your commission will always be uploaded and updated here. I will always try to be transparent about updates and my current workload so you don't have to wait to hear from me!
Always feel free to ask for an update after the initial 72 hours. (This is not permission to spam my inbox, however.)
Section VI
Workflow and Process
Works in Progress (WIPS). Nearly all commissions will have a sketch approval stage. I will upload WIP screenshots (if applicable) of all commission types onto my airtable commission tracker, the WIP screenshots generally being of the sketch stages, the approved draft, and whatever stage I end on before moving to another piece.
Revisions and edits. Any major changes or revisions must be made before I begin fully rendering the piece, this includes any significant changes to a character’s pose or body shape, or redrawing parts of the image.
After the sketch has been approved, no major edits or changes will be made. If the commissioner requests additional edits after the approved sketch, a price for the edits may be discussed.
If I make any errors in the character design, accessories, or any other visual elements specified in the provided visual references, I will make these edits at no additional cost.
Final post. I will always ask you for final edits on the finished piece before I publish. However, I will post if you don't get back to me after the first and second note.
If you do not want me to post your commission online, there is an option in my inquiry form to request a private piece. This comes with an additional fee.
If these terms are broken, you will be privately blacklisted from commissioning or purchasing designs from me.
