I've seen quite a few bad fan characters around dA and tumblr, and I think it's time someone did something to help the issue.
This is a dA page dedicated to redesigning your characters!
Rules You may only request one character at a time. If things get really busy, each person will only ever have one opportunity to have a character redesigned.
"Small animal" constitutes baby animals of any kind, chibi animals of any kind, small mammals, reptiles, birds, and cats. "Large animal" constitutes kanines (wolves, dogs), dragons, dinosaurs, horses, big cats, and pretty much any animal that is larger than the average house cat. If you are unsure what the status of your animal is, message me. The only exception to this is ponies, as I consider ponies to be chibi.
Designs sent to me must be appropriate enough to air on public television. The only exception to this is if your character wears/uses weed paraphernalia. Message me if you are somehow unsure if your character is appropriate or not.
You may only repost my work with full credit to either me or this page. No exceptions.
However, you are free to use the redesign! Though the drawing is mine, you still have all of the rights to your character.
Though the rights to the character will always be yours,
I reserve the right to change as much as I please with your character. If there are any traits you would not like me to change, please specify in your message to me. I will not change the character's name, and I will try to stick to a similar color scheme.
Though it is not required, I highly encourage you to give a little bit of information on your character in your message to me.
If you are dissatisfied with the design and do not wish to keep it, the character will be renamed and the original reference provided will be removed. There are no refunds in this case.
If I cancel the commission, you will definitely get a refund. If you cancel your commission before the piece is posted, you will definitely get a refund.
No refunds will be given after the work is posted.
I don't do group redesigns! You must only have me redesign one character at a time. If your reference picture is a group picture, you must specify which character you want to be redesigned.
Please provide a reference picture. If I don't think your character needs to be redesigned, I will cancel the commission. Sorry :(
Send me a message if you have further questions!
