Projects

I currently have 3 story plots that I'm working on at the moment. I don't have proper names for them right now, so currently they are labeled by Generation 1-3. All of these stories and characters are interwoven in the same universe and world, just in different time periods (hence the label). Each part influences the next in some way. The planet they inhabit is called Pelepia and its surrounding celestial dimensions. Most of the stories revolve around the coexistence between many different intelligent species and powerful/supernatural forces.Sadly I don't have much story to show for them publicly right now, but hopefully once I finalize their drafts I can share more of them later in the future! In the meantime, feel free to look around these site below for more character and lore info!

Bromodachis Cover

My only ongoing project that is publicly available to view at the moment is my webcomic, Bromodachis ! It's a collection of random comics that revolve around my characters, Sky (an incubus demon) and Keith (a criminal mechanic). They're currently my favorite characters. They are my muses, my sunshine, my heart, my happiness. I love them.

GEN 1

After the Demons were vanquished in the First Apocalypse, an era of peace finally ushered in Pelepia. Humans have also gained their rights as true citizens of Pelepia and have been able to hold positions of power for the first time. But due to this peace, conflicts have emerged between their fellow Pelepians. One such conflict between two civilizations ends up becoming Pelepia's end to peace. The Gen 1 story focuses on the conflicts between the Asumarian Empire and the Erevian Kingdom of Asumara. The time period equivalent that this story takes place would be around the years 1500-1600.

GEN 2

Since the opening of the Inferno Gate, Demons have been pouring in and causing havoc at a rapid pace. Pelepia has ramped up their military to fight this ongoing threat. One young human boy optimistically joins their military scout program to hopefully one day become a powerful soldier to fight evil and protect all that is good. He soon learns that not everything is black and white when he teams up with a mysterious entity. The Gen 2 story focuses on the adventures of Plyso and Jake. The time period equivalent that this story takes place would be around the early 2000s-2010s.

GEN 3

After the Great Demon Wars, Pelepia, while badly damaged, seems to be healing back naturally. Now that Demon numbers have dwindled, the Demon Extermination Program has gone full force to eradicate them for good and hopefully usher in a new Era of Peace. Since the wars however, more rogues and detractors of the Pelepian government have emerged, questioning if they have their best interest in mind. The Gen 3 story focuses on the misadventures of the Dark Siders. The time period equivalent that this story takes place would be around the future, roughly 2200-2300.

Fun fact! My webcomic Bromodachis, is a spin off of the main Gen 3 story, which mainly focuses on the relationship between the human, Keith and the demon, Sky, from the Dark Siders. As well as my story called The Incubus Prince, which tells of Sky's origin story.

Commissions

Because of work obligations, I only take private commissions for individuals sporadically and sparingly. Therefore, I tend to only accept them based on special circumstances or personal interest, such as ideas that fall into these categories:

  • Commissions with my own characters (these get accepted automatically and get a 50% discount!)

  • Commissions that include my favorite characters from various media (feel free to ask if unsure)

  • Commercial work (may depend on my schedule)

  • Occasional YCH opportunities (follow me on social media to catch openings!)

If you have a commission idea that happens to fall into these categories, feel free to send inquiries to [email protected]!

I will not accept commissions that involve the following:

  • Pornography

  • Blatant fetishes

  • NSFW/ suggestive situations involving minors/ferals/child-like characters (Adult characters are ok)

  • Copyrighted characters for commercial use (unless you are a VA or own rights to the character)

  • Obsessive amounts of gore

  • Anything political, controversial or hateful



Character Portraits

One of my most popular items when I did commissions full time!
When it comes to private commissions, only character portraits will be available, which consists of one rendered character with a vague/implied background.
Full spread illustrations, comics or animations will not be available unless its a commercial project or a YCH.
Prices for portraits start around $400+ for one character. Prices may go up depending on detail of the character.

Terms of Service

When commissioning me, you will be agreeing to all these terms below! Please read all of the terms carefully, as violating them may get you banned from working with me again.

  • You must be 18 years or older to commission me. I do backgrounds checks on potential clients to avoid risk of fraud. So I may also refuse to work with commissioners who seem suspicious or have blank profiles.

  • You must have a visual reference for your character/subject. I do not design characters when it comes to regular commissions, since that becomes an extra, time-consuming step in the process.

  • All products I will send to you are digital files and nothing will be sent physically to you.

  • Unless commercial rights are purchased, commissions are only for non-profit use. If you plan on mass producing/distributing the artwork for profit, you can buy commercial rights for x1 or x2 the price of a private-use commission, depending on what its being used for.

  • However, turning the commission into an NFT for cryptocurrency use or for AI training is strictly prohibited.

  • I am allowed to use your commission for portfolio work and non-profit purposes. Even though the character(s) or initial idea of the picture may not be mine, I still have rights to the image since I am the one who created it.

  • I have the right to refuse any commission if I do not feel comfortable with the subject matter.

  • I have the right to refuse my service if you are being unpleasant to work with or constantly asking for updates (such as every day or hour). This has never happened before, but if it unfortunately does, I will refund your invoice in full and depending on the severity of the situation, you may be banned from commissioning me again.

  • Payment plans are only available for commissions above $250, where the invoice can be split in twos. Commissions above $500 can be split up to three payments. The next payment must be due after the 2nd WIP has been approved.

  • Initial payment must be made within 48 hours of claiming your spot to secure it, otherwise, you will be removed from the queue and I will move on to the next person in consideration. In the past, I've had people string me along for weeks, promising that they will pay eventually but never did, so I am no longer going to be lenient about this, sorry.

  • You may ask me for WIPs and the status of your commission anytime! However, please allow a reasonable amount of time in-between asking for updates.

  • I don't post commissions publicly until I receive approval of the finished commission. Even though I try to post most of my lower resolution commissions publicly, I may choose not to post your commission on certain sites for various reasons or not at all. This is mainly due to the differences that my audience follows me for from site to site.

  • Unless an NDA is signed, if you'd like to keep your commission private, it will cost a small fee, since I will be giving up some of my rights to use it, as I often use commissions as a way to advertise myself and build my portfolio. Waiting for a set date or time to post is completely free and doable though.

  • When I send you the finished file, PLEASE be sure to download it as soon as you can. I normally do an annual 'clean out' of my folders and delete old files that I haven't touched in years. If you ask me for the full size file of a commission 2 years after it was sent to you, there's a chance that I may not have it anymore.

  • Filing a false Paypal chargeback is detrimental to online artists and will not be tolerated. If you do this, I will revoke all of your rights to the image you commissioned, file a report with Paypal, and you will be blacklisted from commissioning me ever again.

Editing Policy
Every commission, except for sketches, will have 2 WIP stages that I will show you during the process!

  • Sketch stage: This stage is a quickly drawn rough outline of what the commission may look like at the end, with some color splashed on. Any changes are allowed at this stage, free of charge! Completely redoing the composition, however, may cost extra.

  • 2nd WIP stage: This is the lineart/flat color stage. Background elements will be blocked out clearer too. Small changes or mistakes on my behalf are free of charge, but more time consuming changes will be charged extra. Completely redoing the composition is not possible at this stage.

  • Final: Its all done! Only small tweaks or mistakes on my behalf are allowed to be fixed at this point.

Refund Policy

  • If you want to cancel/change a commission after you have already placed your order, you will have a 48 hr time window to do so, otherwise your order will be finalized. There may be a chance that I'll start working right away once you've paid me, so please let me know ASAP! If you are on a waitlist and want to cancel a commission, just let me know before I reach your spot.

  • I do NOT give refunds after I've finished your picture, as the work and time has already been put in. So please be certain that you want to commission me and have faith in my abilities to make you something nice! Keep in mind that I'll be working with you throughout to make sure you're happy with how things are going!

  • Partial refunds are doable, if you no longer want to continue the commission during the process. You will be billed for the time I've spend up to the point you want to stop, as well as a late cancellation fee of $35 . This is to deter people from taking advantage of this.

  • Full refunds are ONLY available if I have not already started the work. Reasons for this could be that something unexpected came up and I am unable to finish the drawing in a timely manner. I'll let you know when this happens!

FAQ

What programs do you use to make your art?I use a combo of these programs:
Clip Studio Paint EX: General drawing, BG painting, 2D animation, text
Photoshop: BG painting, photo effects
After Effects: VFX for animation
Can I post/share your art somewhere?I strictly prohibit reposting my art on Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram only. But if it's a site that I don't have an account on (like Reddit, E621, ect), I'm totally fine with sharing it as long as proper credit and a link back is given to me. But if you're on a social media platform like Twitter, I go by @seyumei on most places and you can probably find my art already posted there. Please share that post instead of creating your own!
If the artwork I made was specifically for you though, you're free to post it wherever you like!
Can I use your artwork for something?If you just want to use my art for a profile pic or a wallpaper/banner, feel free to! (just credit me!). But other than that, my artwork is strictly off limits due to the fact that I've had to deal with a lot of IP theft in the past. Also, if you've read that the artwork was made for someone else, please do not use at all it in respect for that person.Can I draw your characters?YES. ABSOLUTELY. I'm always super happy to get art from anyone! You're free to choose and do whatever you'd like with my characters, but if you have something more suggestive in mind, please talk to me about it first! Here's a detailed list of things I allow/don't allow with my characters: HERE
You can send fanart to me by tagging me @seyumei, but in case I miss your tag, you can also send it to [email protected] so I can give it the proper love it deserves!
(PS: If you'd like to give me a gift, I'd probably prefer art of my characters over anything else haha.)Do you do art requests/trades/commissions?Requests: You can send me suggestions for fanart/ideas for my OCs but whether I actually do it depends on my interest/time. Otherwise no, I don't work for free.
Trades: Sadly not anymore unless we're close enough that I can trust you. Had too many bad experiences with these unfortunately.
Commissions: Click on the commission tab!
How long does it take you to draw a picture?It depends how complicated the picture is, but usually 3 days to a week for standard rendered illustrations. Cell shaded portraits may only take 1-2 days. Animations may take up to two weeks.How long have you've been drawing?Pretty much all my life. But I didn't get serious about it till high school.I hate you.;-D
