Designer CAs and Sponsors
I try to offer multiple options for Designer CAs (DCAs) and Sponsors to allow you to go with whatever fits your personal image best. Generally I do ask for an artist's copy for every 5 as a personal, physical record, but this isn't a requirement. In any case, let's get to it!
Designer CAs
DCAs are apparel items which were commissioned by another player. These are usually not released to the public at all but, sometimes, a commissioner may sell their DCA at a later date or decide to let all extra copies be sold to the public as a very limited item.
- Prices are subject to change as seen fit. If you were on my list prior to a change and pricing was already discussed, you pay the price we originally agreed upon instead of the new prices. USD prices are typically cheaper than moonstone prices to give incentive for USD commissions.
- Commissioners are required to pay up front and provide the token for submission. If you wish to not pay for the token or cannot, please see the Public Designers section below!
- DCAs are not available for reprint or recolor without permission from the commissioner.
- Breed-varied and differing sex commissions are available at an extra charge (see below).
- Turnover can take up to a month depending on how the semester is going.
- You may try to “bribe” me with other CAs or wolves as partial or full payment depending on what it is. Note that I may be very picky on what is and isn't accepted and it may differ depending on what I need.
- Returns and refunds are not accepted for completed DCAs. If a refund is requested during the commission process, you will only be refunded what work hasn't been done.
- To get something commissioned or a quote, please ping or PM me with the necessary details such as what you want, special designs or markings, etc. Be thorough! Don't leave out any details, even if it means a long message.
- I reserve the right to decline a commission if I feel I cannot complete it in the quality I try to achieve.
My DCA prices do vary based on complexity, but you can find basic costs below.
- Tattoos and Bases: $10 or 120 moonstones
- Minor Apparel Items: $15 or 180 moonstones
- Outfits and Backgrounds: $25 or 300 moonstones
- Everything: $50 or 600 moonstones
- Both Sexes: Up to 25% Commission Cost*
- Another Breed: Up to 50% Commission Cost*
*Extra charge will vary based on if the DCA can be feasibly copied or altered onto other breeds or sexes, such as a generic dog “companion” DCA or floating shards. Listed charge is the maximum charge.
Please note that all of the above are based on the simplest, most basic form of the examples. All payments are done via Paypal for USD commissions, but you can ask about other methods if absolutely necessary.
Public DCAs
Public DCAs are available for those who wish to not pay for a token or simply cannot. More or less, you don't have to pay for a token at the expense of some of your copies. We both split profits on up to three of the remaining copies. With that in mind, it does mean you can get some of the cost of your DCA back.
- I keep three of the five copies made to sell. We split the profit on one, one pays for your token, and I keep the third as an artist's copy. You keep two.
- I keep one of the copies as an artist's copy, you keep your copy, and we split the profit on the remaining three.
Note: Public DCAs would be sold at higher prices than my usual CAs due to the nature of them being DCAs rather than the usual CA.
Personal Recolors and Sponsors
This section is all about those sweet recolors! An easy way to look at it is a Personal Recolor CA (PRCA) is a recolor specifically for yourself. Sponsors more or less sponsor a recolor to get made for the public with no limitations to me. Do note that neither PRCAs nor Sponsors are for DCAs. DCA alterations are at the commissioner's request.
- PRCAs and Sponsors only change the colors. They do not alter the shape, size, or anything else about the CA. Altered CAs follow similar pricing but at a higher cost based on complexity and how much they alter the original item.
- PRCAs and Sponsors cannot be of DCAs or items from someone else's shop (so please don't ask).
- Breed-varied and differing sex commissions are available at an extra charge (see below).
Personal Recolors
PRCAs are personal recolors specifically for personal use. They're like DCAs except a simple recolor. PRCAs can be any non-DCA apparel item in this shop whether the item is retired or not. DCA rules apply to PRCAs, though the cost is the difference here. If you wish to do a public recolor or cannot afford a token, please see below.
The following is how PRCAs are priced:
- CA Base Charge: Cost of the original CA.
- CAT: The token to submit.
- Recolor Charge: +50 moonstones*
- Another Breed/Sex: +50 moonstones*
*Recolor charges are subject to vary depending on the nature of the recolor. For instance, a space recolor on a bone helmet would be more than a space recolor on a space-related item. Listed price is an average.
Public PRCAs
Public Recolor Sponsors work exactly like public DCAs, just as a recolor. They remain limited and only print when the commissioner has given permission, and have the same potential benefits.
Sponsors
Sponsors are specifically a form of public PRCAs.
- Normal Sponsors allow users to pay for a token to get a very specific recolor made for the public. There are no restrictions (aside from you getting your copy), but the benefit is the sponsor has a chance to make back the token cost and get their copy from the first run for free should the first run sell out within three months. Should it only sell enough for the token, they only get the token cost returned. That's it!
