Secures your place in the queue and counts toward the order total.
What affects the price and how the work goes: surcharges, revisions, payment and the files you get.
I confirm the exact price and timeline individually after the brief. How the work and payment go — below.
The essentials are in four cards, the details are in the questions below.
Secures your place in the queue and counts toward the order total.
Half of the total price is paid before work starts.
The other half is paid before the finished files are handed over.
Technical errors after rig hand-over can be reported within two weeks.
The booking isn’t an extra payment: the booking (usually 25%) is part of the payment before the start — usually 50% together with the booking. The exact amounts are set in your order terms.
To secure a place in the queue, you pay a booking — usually 25% of the full price; the exact amount is set in your order terms.
The booking fee is part of the total price.
Once it’s paid, the chosen time slot is reserved for you and closed to other orders.
If you cancel the order, the booking fee is not refunded.
Before work actually starts, you make the pre-start payment — usually 50% of the price together with the booking; the exact amount is set in your order terms.
Work is paid 50% / 50%.
The first 50% is paid before work starts.
If you’ve already paid the booking, before work starts you only pay the difference up to the amount in your order terms (usually up to 50%).
The remaining 50% is paid before the finished work and the files included in the order are handed over.
Final files are handed over after full payment.
For large or unusual projects, a custom payment schedule can be agreed separately.
Say the order costs $300.
The final price is set after we discuss the brief.
The price can depend on:
If during the work you ask to add elements that weren’t in the original brief, they are priced separately.
If you cancel before work starts, the booking is not refunded.
If work has already started, you pay for the work actually done.
Stages that are already done and paid for are not refunded.
If the project can’t continue because of the artist, payment for the unfinished part is settled individually.
Paying the booking fee or the first part of the payment means you have read these rules and agree to the terms of working together.
Before work starts, please send the fullest possible brief, the references needed and your wishes.
It helps to mention up front:
Major changes to the concept after work starts may cost extra.
Yes. The price of VTuber model art assumes I’m drawing a character design that’s already settled and agreed on.
Before work starts, the main parts of the look should be clear:
You don’t need a professional ref sheet for this. Clear references work too, as long as they show exactly how the character should look: which hairstyle, which clothes, which colours and accessories.
If there’s only a general idea, a text description or a loose set of references, and the look still has to be invented, that’s a separate service: character concept / design. Its price depends on the complexity and is worked out individually.
Small clarifications and tweaks to an existing design are part of the work. Working out the appearance, clothes, hairstyle, accessories and palette from scratch, or drawing several design options, isn’t included in the standard model art price.
For example:
Small adjustments within the original brief are included in the price.
Completely changing elements that are already approved, for example:
may count as extra work.
Once a stage is approved, going back to rework it substantially may also be priced separately.
During the work you can send technical notes and wishes within the original brief.
After the rig is finished and accepted, you have 14 calendar days to check the technical side of the model.
During this period, errors in how the rig was done are fixed free of charge.
After 14 days, the price of further technical fixes is discussed individually.
Technical errors include, for example:
These are not technical errors:
Such changes are priced separately.
Please gather your notes on a stage into one list.
That makes it quicker to apply everything and less likely that something gets missed.
Before approving a stage, please check the result carefully.
If you’re out of touch for a long time, work may be paused.
The order may be moved further down the queue.
When you’re back, a new date to continue is set based on the current workload.
Deadlines also shift automatically if approving intermediate stages is delayed on your side.
For a Live2D rig order you need to provide a properly prepared and separated PSD.
If during the work it turns out the art needs:
that work is priced separately.
If after hand-over you or another specialist change:
fixing errors that appear after that is not covered by free technical support.
Such work is priced separately.
Which files you get, and in what format, depends on the order type and is agreed in advance.
For Live2D, it can be a ready model for VTube Studio or another program agreed in advance.
Handing over working source files must be agreed in advance:
If the source files aren’t included in the order price, handing them over may be priced separately.
After the project is finished, please keep your own backups of all the files you received.
The artist doesn’t guarantee keeping the sources and final files of finished projects indefinitely.
The artist may show the finished work and stages of its creation:
after the model’s public debut.
If the project must stay confidential or can’t be shown before a certain date, please say so before work starts.
Special NDA terms are discussed separately.
Authorship of the work stays with the artist.
Depending on the order type, the credit is:
You can’t present the work as made by someone else.
Yes.
If the work will be used:
please say so before work starts.
Commercial use can affect the final price.
Working together is built on mutual respect.
The artist may end the collaboration in case of:
In that case, the price is based on the work already done.
Two parts: the art (the character drawn in layers) and the rig (bringing it to life in Live2D). You can order both from me, or just one if the art already exists.
The art is drawn from a finished character design. If it still has to be designed, that’s a separate service: what counts as a finished design.
Base — XYZ motion, physics, 3 expressions, a basic mouth rig and breathing. Advanced — more detail, complex physics, richer facial expressions and a more advanced rig.
It depends on the complexity and the queue. I confirm exact dates after the brief. Need it fast — there's a rush surcharge of +25%.
Yes. Overlays, emotes, logos, ref sheets and illustrations can be ordered on their own — you don't need a model for that.
Merch is released in pre-order batches. Pick an item in the Merch section, add it to the cart, check out and pay upfront — it's 100% for all merch. Once the batch is printed I send photos and ship the parcel from Moscow (Ozon, CDEK or Russian Post).
Message me on Telegram or VK — we'll go through the brief, the price and the timeline, and I'll send payment details. Payment is in rubles; dollar prices here are a guide at 100 ₽ to $1.
Once your order is confirmed and booked, you get a personal LyssBoard link. It shows your place in the queue, the current stage of the work, the estimated start and my updates on your order. No sign-up needed: the link is view-only and works on any device. The shared order queue is on the home page.
Nothing exact found.
Tap a stage to see what I need from you, what I do, and where changes are possible.
The order from the cart or the calculator and a few words about the character. References — pictures, colours, mood — can be attached right to the order.
I read the brief, check it against the price list and note what’s missing for an exact quote.
Freely. Work hasn’t started yet — add to the brief and change it however you like.
Stay reachable where you said in the order: Telegram, VK or Discord.
I message you first, ask about the brief and give a rough price and timeline.
Freely. You can add or drop extras, or change the model type or tier.
Confirm the references and deadline, and tell me where you’ll stream: VTube Studio, an iPhone for VBridger.
I lock in the scope, deadline and final price — so there are no surprises later.
Last chance to change the scope at no extra cost.
Pay the booking (usually 25%) — it secures your place and is part of the payment before the start: usually 50% together with the booking. The second half is paid before the files are handed over.
I reserve your spot in the queue, give you a start date and send you a personal LyssBoard link where you can see how the work is going.
The scope is fixed. New items are priced separately. If you cancel, the booking fee isn’t refunded.
Review each stage and leave comments: sketch, base drawing, lineart, shading, rig.
I draw and rig and show every stage. At the end you get a ready model for VTube Studio; source files by agreement.
Up to three rounds of changes per stage. Character design changes happen at the sketch stage.
