Increasing the complexity of the illustration (e.g. multiple characters, sophisticated patterns or clothing, background, etc.) will raise the price. The final price is negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
You can request up to 3 reasonable modifications during the sketch stage. Any edit requested after that stage will be refused or will be charged extra. All changes are final and not reversible. I will not do any modifications after the work is finished.

PAYMENT & USE1. I take payment upfront. Payments are done through PayPal in PLN or USD. Once the price is agreed upon, I will send you an invoice.2. The prices & work examples shown here are for illustrations made for personal use only; no commercial use is allowed. The art may not be published, sold, or exchanged in any form (prints, NFTs, etc.) under any circumstances, nor is it to be used in any published material.
I retain all rights to the art and use and monetize my art in any way I choose.
3. You will receive 2 copies of the art: a full resolution .PNG for personal use, and a smaller & watermarked .JPG for online sharing. You are welcome to publish your art on social media as long as you give me the credit for the work. You may crop/resize the art for personal and non-commercial use, but you cannot alter the artwork itself.4. Commercial options/licensing are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

GUIDELINESVisual references are welcome. Text descriptions are fine too, but please don't send excessive walltexts and dozens of links - this will only slow me down. Send the most essential information. And if possible, please use the metric system.
Slow replies and slow payments can lead to postponing the commission or canceling; in that case, other clients' commissions will get prioritized.

REFUNDS & CANCELINGIf you wish to cancel the commission during the sketch stage, you will be refunded 50% of what you have paid; any cancellation after this stage won't be refundable.
I have the right to cancel the commissions if communicating with the client is difficult or if the client delays payments; in this case, you will be refunded 25% of what you have paid.
If for any unjustifiable reason I won't be able to finish your commission, you will receive a full refund.
By commissioning me you are agreeing to the terms of service.
I reserve the right to change any information on this document at any time.

Bio

Who am I anyway?

My name is Karolina Twardosz and I go by the name Twarda.

💜

I've been drawing for as long as I can remember and I ultimately decided to pursue illustration as a career. Comic books, particularly classic European ones, and animation are among my earliest sources of inspiration. Biology and paleontology are another passion for me. Early on I developed a keen interest in prehistoric creatures and depicting them in my illustrations. While in university I studied biology and continued building up my art skills, eventually expanding from traditional art into digital art.

💜

I eventually joined my wonderful partner Łukasz Mikołajczyk and together we collaborated on a video game! It’s a point-and-click adventure called Zniw Adventure that mixes my passion for prehistoric creatures, unique European comics, and cute cartoony animation. It's also based on one of the earliest series of comics I created as a child. You can check out Zniw Adventure on Steam: link

💜

Nowadays I just enjoy life, collect v-pets and dinosaur figures, think about video games, create lots of stylized dinosaur and paleo art. From time to time I do art on Nintendo consoles too!
