About

Freelance 2D Illustrator / Character Designer


Yoo-hoo! My name is Sherry, but I'm better known Lyco, or Alycoris.While known for a Knight bias, I've been drawing online since 2011, and my greatest inspirations are Persona 3 and the Digimon Franchise, as they've instilled my adoration towards the "coming of age" genre, and my fascination towards overcoming adversity.I just draw what I love, and my greatest hope is that you can love it too!

Nova Tier Information

Hi there! If you're interested in the Nova Tier, the ($15) Nova Tier has the all the benefits listed above.Once a month, I'll fulfill a SKEB / Snapshot style request of yours for any canon Human character or Digimon species from the franchise.Also, when it comes to drawing emotes, your suggestions will have the most weight!

Q: What is a Snapshot?

A: A snapshot is a colored sketch of a character that can vary from being Bust Up or Full Body dependent on the subject matter.If I am requested to draw a small monster of some kind, the likelihood of it being depicted in Full Body is higher, whereas a person or humanoid character is more likely to be drawn from the Bust Up, dependent.While members of this tier are allowed to make suggestions towards what they would like, the content of the picture is still up to my discretion.As I improve with framing, I might try more daring things. However, the most important aspect of a Snapshot is the subject's face and expression, so that will always be the primary focus.You are allowed to request:- Digimon, Pokemon, & Appmon
- Original Characters (Digimon and Human)
- Characters from outside the aforementioned
This is primarily due to my confidence in my ability. Thank you for understanding!


Thank you for considering supporting me in this manner!


Commission Information

Please read the TOS accordingly before contacting me.


Illustrations Commissions

✽ All Illustrations will have a simple background included (sky backdrop, a geometric shape, etc. or no background at the client's behest). To be transparent, I'm not good at drawing detailed backgrounds, and currently offer no option to have such in my illustrations.✽ If the artwork would include a Digimon that's Rookie / Child-Level or lower or a small first-evolution Pokemon, the first Digimon is 50% off. (i.e., you want your Digimon Tamer or Pokemon Trainer with their Digimon or one of their Pokemon, respectively.)Extra Options:- Every additional character is +75% of the original price.
- Greyscale sketches are 50% USD of your Illustration Type of choice.
- The addition of an Art Nouveau-style Frame for an Illustration is 100 USD. Please communicate with me what kind of motif you want or prefer for the frame-- or you can leave it to me. I'll decide accordingly with the character in mind.
Keep in mind that the base price does not reflect potential adjustments, depending on intricacies or complexities of the character's design.

TCG Playmat Commissions

The price of TCG Playmats are decided by two major things:✽ The how much of the character is visible.
i.e., half-body, full body, etc.
✽ The number of characters in the illustration.
The base price is decided by the character with the most visibility (for example, full-body), and subsequent characters are priced at 75% of their respective categories.
i.e., A full body illustration of Ariemon with a half-body Ranamon as a second character would be priced at 240 USD base price, with an addition of 120, for a total of 360 USD.All Digimon TCG Mat commissions include 3 variations:- The Illustration by itself.

3. Contract Agreement between Client and Artist

When commissioning me, you, the client, understand forthwith that I specialize in character illustrations with Art Nouveau-inspired elements. The goal of my art and why I choose to draw, is to capture moments and feelings, and to make it feel alive.I enjoy drawing expressions and will go out of my way for the express purpose of making something look beautiful first, which may include some level of sensuality when it comes to drawing female subjects in particular.My works, however, are not just limited to this notion, as I do also enjoy drawing things with different emotions and feelings present.With this said, there are conditions that you, the client, must be aware of before commissioning me.Please refer to the table and the below terms. These are non-negotiable:

What I will drawWhat I won't draw
Original Characters
Character Fanart
Digimon
Nudity (to an extent)
Furry (I'm not good at it)
Realistic Animals or Monsters
Complex Mechs and Cars
Anything NSFW & Fetish-related*

✽ (a.) I take commissions on a case-by-basis.When you reach out to me with your commission, I can be contacted via email at [email protected], or other socials like Ko-Fi (preferred), or even Pixiv.After initial communication and discussion, I will determine whether the prospective client's scope of project is within my capability, leading to point (b.).✽ (b.) I reserve the right to turn down any commission.Continuing from (a.), even if you contact me and we have a back and forth about your request, this does not guarantee I will accept your commission.Please understand that when I ask you for details about your commission, until the invoice is sent and the first deposit is made, we are still in the deliberation process.This is a courtesy to respect the prospective client's time and my own, as I may not feel as I am capable of fulfilling their request to the extent I feel it is owed, given my understanding of my own capabilities.If I decide to move forward with your commission, I will send you an invoice.*Regarding Works which may be NSFW or fetish-based in nature but changed to disguise this fact, if I determine a commission is rooted in this sentiment, I may decline to do the commission if I feel that the client's request is something I am uncomfortable with drawing.✽ (c.) Please respect my art style, and trust my creative process.When choosing to commission artworks in my style, you do so with the knowledge that I may adapt things due to stylistic choice and that it is my right as an artist to do so. It is also for that reason I will not draw in any other style than my own.✽ (d.) I reserve the right to terminate my work contract with a client at any time.If I feel that the client's behavior reaches a point of being disrespectful, intolerable, rude, or obscene, I will offer a partial refund dependent on the point of the completion, but will not enclose the files.✽ (e.) My service is not first come first serve.Wait times on my commissions do vary as I maintain contact for Illustration Commissions which rely on client feedback and approval compared to Skeb or Omakase Commissions, but once you've been contacted, a discussion of the commission is had, and an invoice is sent and paid for, I will do my best to deliver your commission in a timely manner.✽ (f.) I do not accept appearance descriptions without reference pictures, even for character design commissions.References MUST be SFW (safe for work), and NOT AI-Generated.If you do not have a character reference, in order for me to draw your character, you must provide me with necessary materials or image collages as necessary.✽ (g.)

My works are NOT authorized for use in any of the below:- Blockchain-related technology (including NFTs and any form of cryptocurrency.)
- AI Training on any of images created by me.
✽ Failure to comply with these terms will result in the client being blacklisted and banned from making any transactions in the future.


4. Payment, Cancellation and Refund Policy

All formal transactions for commissions will be handled with Paypal.Partial payment of 50% is required as a deposit via Paypal Invoice (and NOT Paypal Transaction), and the remaining 50% is to be paid upon completion. Payment in multiple installments can be arranged with prior notice and discussion.✽ The first payment must be made within 48 hours after the invoice was sent.✽ If the invoice was sent and hasn't been paid for over 10 days, I will cancel the commission. Please be honest and responsible before deciding to commission me.✽ Once an approved "Proof of Concept" sketch has been made, the base deposit for the commission is non-refundable.✽ Once the first payment is recieved, your illustration will be completed within three months (90 days) of the date (excluding windows of communication).✽ After the final delivery occurs, the commission is non-refundable.

5.1. Refunds for Specific and Extenuating Circumstances

✽ As mentioned before in Section 3.d., I have the right to terminate a work contract with a client at any given time, for any reason.When this occurs, I will do a partial refund of the initial commission payment, with the amount being dependent on the stage of commission.As stated before, however, I will not yield any files related to the commission, as our contract and my obligations to the client will have been dissolved.✽ Regarding Extenuating Circumstances:I work full-time and do not have the luxury of drawing all the time, so updates may be sporadic or intermittent. At times, there may be even circumstances or developments that may make me unable to finish your commission.Therefore, in the event of extenuating life circumstances or situational changes, and I fail to deliver your commission after three months (90 days) of the first payment, I will fully refund your commission, but not give you the files.


5. Contract Agreement for Skeb & Omakase

When you order a Skeb or Omakase-type Commission, you understand and agree to the terms and conditions outlined in this section:Skeb Style or "Surprise me!" refers to you requesting for art of a character, and paying. There is little to no creative input from the client beyond you requesting your character.Omakase Style or "It's in your hands!" refers to you, the client, telling me what you want in terms of pose, feeling / emotion for a character of choice-- but giving me, the artist, both creative freedom in both design and final outcome.✽ 100% of the payment is required upfront via PayPal Invoice.✽ I will do my best to honor your request, with my creative flair.✽ After the client's request is conveyed, no further communication will occur between the artist and client. Skeb and Omakase-type Commissions do not have revisions.✽ Your illustration will be delivered to you within 3 months of the payment date. After the delivery is made, there are no refunds.DISCLAIMER: The final results of both Skeb and Omakase-type Commissions will be interpreted in the artist’s style and may differ from the client’s expectations.


5. Contract Agreement for Illustration Commissions

With Illustration Commissions, the process differs compared to Skeb or Omakase-type Commissions; the client has active creative input in how the illustration comes to be. As stated in my above terms, I ask the client to trust my style and creative process, as it is within both of our interests to make the illustration look as good as possible.Please note: when asking for certain poses and scenes, there are discretions and logical choices that I must make as an artist to facilitate the client's request.There may be times where I weigh in and give my input, especially for changes that would contradict or clash with the idea that they're presenting. For that reason, creative differences may occur if a client asks for my opinion.Important things to note about Designs and Complexity:Some designs are simpler than others. If I look at the design of the character in question, I may offer to reduce the commission price on a case-by-case basis.However, in the same line of thinking, depending on the complexity and scope of the client's request, I may charge an additional fee up from 10% to 100% of the commission's initial quote.

5.1. Progression

For illustrations, there are Five Stages:1. Drafting Stage →
At this stage, depending on the specifications of the client's request, I will produce different composition iterations for the client to decide on in an A, B, or C format. Once the Draft Sketch has been approved, I move on to the second step.
2. Proof of Concept →
Once the Draft Sketch has been approved of, I will refine the sketch further. It's also at this time I will begin drafting further details, depending on the client's request (i.e., working on a frame, etc.)
It's during this time that revisions and adjustments can be made to the pose without it counting as a major revision. It is important for the client to inform me of any add-ons before approving the Proof of Concept, as once it's finalized, I will begin lineart-- and the image can no longer be changed without the client being charged for Major Revisions.3. Line Art →
The lineart process is straightforward in that I will begin finalizing the illustration. I will not ask for major input from the client during this stage, only approval to proceed when line art is done.
4. Rendering →
The second to last step before completion. As the name suggests, this process is time-consuming in the regard where I will actively make adjustments or Minor Revisions with color to the client's tastes, albeit with some level of guidance from my part.
Once this stage is approved, the Illustration is Finalized.5. Completion →
When the Illustration is finalized, I will ask for the remainder of the payment, which includes any adjustments from Major or Minor Revisions, add-ons, or complexity charges.
Once the commission is paid for and delivered, I am not responsible for any errors, mistakes, or negligence on the client's part for the final product.

5.2. Regarding Revisions for Illustration Commissions

As stated above for my Commissions, I iterate during my drawing process.In this sense, revisions and adjustments are made throughout the process frequently in order to ensure that my clients included in the process and are satisfied with the outcome.HOWEVER-- if a client is asks for a creative revision that I would NOT make myself, it will incur an additional fee based on the type of revision that they are asking for.Therefore:✽ The client is given one free Major Revision and one free Minor Revision.- A Major Revision (60 USD) requires me to change poses and / or the illustration's composition. Any major change to the pose after line art is made constitutes as a major revision.- A Minor Revision (10 USD) is defined by detail adjustments after linework is made, like eye color or other simple details that can be made without changing the linework.✽ If the client requests an entirely new composition after multiple approvals or adjustments, the revision will cost full price of the Illustration, as the client is asking for an entirely new illustration at that point.


6. Contract Ageement for Voice Acting and Voice Overs

✽ If my voice was used in a project, it is required that I be credited in the video or description, with my social media linked.✽ I do not consent or allow my voice to be used in any AI models.


7. Ko-Fi: Terms of Agreement

✽ Joining the Ko-Fi Membership DOES NOT give you any rights to re-distribute, reproduce, or sell my work, or gain profit from anything I post. Once more, if you want to request a commercial commission, please refer to my proper commissions.✽ My works are NOT to be submitted as data in any AI models. This is the reason why they are glazed outside of everywhere BUT Ko-Fi.✽ My works are NOT authorized for use in any blockchain-related technology including NFTs and any form of cryptocurrency.✽ I retain the rights and ownership of the illustrations made through Ko-Fi Membership.✽ I reserve the right to terminate membership of anyone who cannot be respectful or cordial. Being rude in comments or messages will result in your membership being stripped, and you being banned.✽ Members are NOT ALLOWED to post any exclusive content outside of Ko-Fi.

Terms of Agreement

DISCLAIMER: If you are going into this thinking this is a commission, please refer to my proper commissions and read their associated TOS.These Tiers allows you to request a Digimon Snapshot (as showcased above), but this is NOT counted as a proper commission. I will not send sketches for approval or revise finished works.On the first of every month, I will prompt for the members of this category, and draw a Digimon as per the member's request (via Ko-Fi).You can pick anything you like without reservation, and are allowed to give me a small prompt in terms for emotion or feeling. The contents of the picture still fall to my discretion, and fall within the below stipulations:


✽ Canon Digimon and Appmon Only. If I can't find it on Wikimon, it's not allowed.It's also worth noting that there are certain types of Digimon that I'm better at drawing than others, so those will get done faster.✽ You can request any Digimon from Baby I/II to Super Ultimate. For Appmon, equivalents are by grade. (Standard → Lv.3 / Child-Level, etc.)✽ Because Baby I/II are typically dimmunitive in size, you are allowed to ask for two different ones in the same image. (i.e. Dorimon and Kyokomon, Botamon and Jyarimon, etc.)✽ After the Digimon request is submitted, it cannot be changed.✽ If the requester fails to request a Digimon before the 5th that month, the request is considered null. Please send your request in a timely manner, so I can draw your request in a timely manner!✽ While the Digimon is decided by the individual member, the picture's contents and composition are purely up to my discretion. This includes props and pose if applicable, but please be aware that that most of these images will not be able to capture the entire Digimon, unless the Digimon is small in stature.✽ If two members request the same Digimon, I will only draw it once.✽ The requesters do not own the image, but are allowed Personal Use.Personal Use means that you are allowed to use the content for yourself in a non-commercial format. (i.e. printing a sticker or playmat for yourself, without an intent to sell. You may also use the images as banners or profile pictures without fault.)✽ For those using these images for Personal Use, you CANNOT:- Edit the artwork in any way.- Use the image in merchandise to be sold.- Publicize the artworks unless the images are made public priorly by me.Please credit me if you do decide to post or use my artworks elsewhere.
