Q. Can I request a jinriki/UTAU/AI cover of ____?
A. If you're requesting covers, please go to my other site and use the request form, and specify what song you are requesting, who you want singing it, and give me the links to a UST/VSQx and instrumental. Requests are usually done on a first-come, first-serve basis. It may take me a while to get to yours, but I tend to go in order of the queue. If there is no existing (and especially if there is no good) instrumental, I will likely not be able to fulfill the request. Also, I will not fulfill any more jinriki creation requests, I do not have the time to do this. Be sure to read my do's and don'ts.

A. He's just like me for real for real.

A. Oh hell yeah.
Q. What can I use your art for?
A. Really anything that isn't commercial use. You can use my art as icons, wallpapers, print it out and display it, etc. I ask where you can, credit me when you use my art as a profile picture and whatnot. Ask my permission for anything that involves monetization. My UTAU renders can be used for videos without permission. Still contact me if you're involving those for commercial use.
Q. Are commissions open?
A. Right now, yes. This may change in the future, as I may have to open limited slots, but most of the time, they're open.
Q. Where can I go to request a commission?
A. I have a contact page right here on the site, but I also have this detailed writeup. You can also request commissions on Ko-Fi, which have a bit more options in terms of budget. I also am available to be approached on Artistree. I implore you to read my Terms of Service before commissioning me. Contact me here or on my other social media if you'd like to commission me.
