Hey, Mikakitty here! I'm a registered nurse by day, filthy smut artist by night. I am in school full time but I am passionate about making my art a career.

ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm Mika! I'm a nurse, though I am getting out of nursing, and going back to school for graphic design. My dream is to support myself through my own small businesses, which include commission illustrations and personal care products. In the future, I hope to also add graphic design to this. I have about 15 years of experience and have been studio art training since I was 12 years old. I truly enjoy doing what I do and I love my fans and clients and even those just passing through.
PRICING
Please see the price list under featured image.
A little side note, I have an extensive resume as an artist but I try to keep my prices low to make art more accessible to a wider audience. Tips are welcome if you think I've done an excellent job. Every little bit helps.
HOW IT WORKS
My art process works in three phases. This is a very specific process that helps to streamline the process so it doesn't take up too much time.
Phase 1: You message me/email me me an idea that you're thinking of. We hash out what you're thinking of, get you a price quote, and I get to start on it.
Phase 2: The ink. You get emailed/messaged/shown a sketched and/or inked version of what you're asking for. This is your last chance to change what you're thinking about. If you want a different pose, different body shape, different clothes, or just to start completely over.... this is the time to say something.
Phase 3: Color and finish. I'll take it from ink to finished. Why is there no chance to change your mind after this? Because there are so many layers it becomes too time consuming to change the basic foundation of the art after that. Color is my forté and I'm confident you'll like the colors that I produce.
I work by print sizes (ie 8"x10") because I assume that you would, possibly, like to print and frame the artwork you're paying for. I do use a high resolution DPI so that wen you print it has a high quality finish to it. This is why you may get a file bigger than you anticipated. I have two main price differences separated by online only display (72 dpi) and print quality (250 dpi). If you need something different or in between, just ask! I'm happy to provide a quote!
Some tips
As an artist I work better if I'm given more free reign than a list of minute instructions to follow. As a result if you hire me for my style, the more freedom you let me have the happier you'll probably be with the results. I do put in the highest effort to make sure my clients are happy with the end result and I am usually happy to do my utmost best.
I will stream my artwork live for an audience. Keep this in mind when you're commissioning me. If you're wanting something done that's extremely private or is a surprise, you'll need to let me know before I start drawing. That being said, you should also expect me to upload the images to my gallery (as that's my main source of advertisement) unless you tell me otherwise. So make sure you let me know!
STREAMING OPTIONS
I currently have two separate streaming options. When I am using my Wacom Intuos or Cintiq tablet with Clip Studio Paint or Paint Tool Sai, I am on my laptop so I stream through OBS and Picarto.
When I am streaming using my iPad I am using my Discord server to stream. I use Procreate or Clip Studio Paint on the tablet, depending on what sort of look I am going for. You can join my discord server here: Mikakitty on Discord.
I offer replacements of all your art work so long as I still retain copies of it myself. I can't guarantee or promise that I will have them, though. These replacements are free. So if your computer dies and you end up losing your original copy of the art just ask and see if I have it.
PAYMENT
I primarily use Paypal as a form of payment. I will provide the email at that time. If the commission is above $50, there will be a 50% deposit up front.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Understandably there are some circumstances that will warrant termination of our contract or cancellation of the project either at the beginning or midway through. These include, but are not limited to,
-Mistreatment by the client (name-calling, threatening, sexual harassment, inappropriate conduct, abuse or manipulation)
-Indecisiveness, which is taking too long to decide what you want or wanting too many corrections that the "by hour" pay I receive drops below an appropriate threshold. (This is a business, after all.)
-Uncomfortable topics, Illegal activity, anything that could get me in serious legal trouble
-Lack of payment
-Too many revision requests beyond the initial approval stage
-Something is happening on my end and I need to cancel. In the event I need to cancel you will receive all work that has been paid for up until that point.
