ARE YOUR COMMISSIONS OPEN?
My commission status is posted on the home page of this site as well as the announcements channel on my Discord. Please note that I'm only able to accept commission on Aether at this time.
WHAT DO YOUR PRICES INCLUDE?
My prices include marketboard furnishings and all regular dyes. Premium dyes, gated/unlockable furnishings, mogstation items, and exterior remodels would be your responsibility.
HOW FAST WILL YOU FINISH MY BUILD?
Creativity is really an ebb-and-flow process for me, and honestly those creative bursts depend on how much freedom I'm permitted with a build. Depending on inspiration and house size, it'll take me at least a week or two to finish the build and then take some photos, usually a bit longer. I would really appreciate patience and privacy while I work :)
WHICH DATA CENTERS/SERVERS CAN YOU WORK ON?
I only have enough alts right now to serve Aether, any world.
DO YOU ACCEPT ALL COMMISSIONS?
I used to, and honestly that wasn't always a great experience. Like any good relationship, I believe there needs to be chemistry between a designer and a client. My best builds have been ones where the client and I really hit it off and where I've been allowed a great measure of creative freedom. Micromanagement, confusing/inharmonious concepts, and asking specifically for other designers' work won't serve either of us well. Going forth, I decided to accept commissions after hearing out some ideas. If you would like to commission me, message in my Discord under #commission-requests with the following information (if you're entirely flexible on any design detail, simply write "designer's choice--always love seeing that!):
- Server:
- House size:
- Concept description:
- Daytime lighting or nighttime lighting:
- Colour scheme:
- Desired rooms:
- Personal or FC house:
- Will this build be open to visitors after I finish?:
- Confirmation that you have read and understood this FAQ page!
WHY SINGLE-FLOOR BUILDS?
Basements and stairwells are the bane of my existence. My particular style is best suited for less space but more detail. The extra slot space created from building on a single floor allows for subtle details such as moulding, trims, etc. that are simply not possible with multi-floor builds. If you are looking to prioritize space over detail, I may not be the designer you're looking for!
HOW DID YOU DO ______?
I'm happy to answer questions about specific furnishings and dyes. However, I don't offer tutorials on glitching.
HOW DO YOU TAKE YOUR SCREENSHOTS?
I use NVIDIA GeForce and Ansel to sharpen and retouch lighting for screenshots. I also use Gshade filters, usually different ones depending on the house concept. I also maximize all vanilla graphics settings.
ANYTHING I NEED TO KNOW/DO BEFORE YOU START?
If we've agreed to a commission, there are a few things to know:
- Payment is required in full before I start the build. There is a chance, depending on furnishings required and if we reconceptualize designs at some point, that we reach the budget limit before I'm finished the build. At that point, we can readjust the budget so I can finish the build, or you are welcome to take over the build.
- It would be incredibly helpful if you or a trusted tenant had the following: Zadnor, completed Crystarium deliveries, completed ShB and EW shared fates, and Bio-Doma III. These gatekeep certain widely-used furnishings.
- I'm pretty selfish with slots. Please inform me of which amenities you need early on, because I will be using the rest of the slots!
- 3-4 reference pictures (irl references preferred!) would help me understand your preferred aesthetic and colour scheme. Try and make sure the theming in the reference pictures are somewhat similar. That being said, I categorically refuse to completely copy another designer's work out of respect for both myself and other designers. I can draw from concepts, but my style will remain my own.
- Please ensure your estate is completely emptied out apart from the basics: summoning bell, housing NPCs, orchestrion. The only furnishings that should be in your storage are the ones you'd like used in the build.
- Kindly provide me some privacy while I work! Watching over my shoulder or getting underfoot will interrupt and slow the building process. You are of course welcome to check in time to time and review progress, but if I'm working, I would appreciate some space :)
- Note that I will be posting images of the completed build to my social media and portfolio, but not necessarily the address. I will only share the address with your consent.
- Once I have finished the build, please wait at least 3 weeks before changing or demolishing the build! This is so visitors get to experience the posted build, and so I'm not attributed to work I did not do. If you are wanting to make changes right away, please communicate this and I can keep the address private.
