Howdy, my name is Valintone!
I'm a 30 year old Australian furry artist that came about from my love for art and animals- What can I say? They're a winning combo.I'm part of a duo that runs Kitsune Alchemy, a furry brand that sells merchandise ranging from stickers and keychains all the way through to fursuit sprays and electronics. If you're interested in my personal work I would recommend checking out my Etsy, however if you're after a wider range of goods you can see what we have to offer by clicking on Kitsune Alchemy.

Terms of Service
Paying for a commission acknowledges that you have read and agreed to the following Terms of Service. These are subject to change without notice, so please ensure that you keep up to date on the terms of service with any subsequent commissions. If you have any questions about the terms, please don't hesitate to contact me.
1. In order to commission me, you must communicate through to my business email address.You will be referred to my business email address if asked about commission related information. This is to ensure all information and potential changes are kept in one place for referencing when creating your artwork. Inquiries through other channels are fine, but for formality you will still be referred to please send the request through in an email prior to the beginning of your commission piece.2. I require 50% payment before work begins on your piece, the remaining 50% is due upon an approved sketch.This is to ensure I am fairly compensated for time spent working on your artwork. You are allowed 3 free revisions/changes in the sketch stage, so please ensure you provide as much references and information you have available in the initial commission process. By approving and completing payment for a sketch, you are agreeing to the poses, layout and details of the sketch. Any further revisions past this point will incur a $10 AUD fee due to additional time taken to alter the piece. Drastic revision requests may incur a larger fee which will be quoted on a case-by-case basis. Your artwork will not proceed past a sketch until payment is received in full. If you fail to pay for your approved sketch, work will cease on your commission. It will NOT continue until paid in full. Failure to pay for your commission within 7 days will result in a cancellation- Funds will not be refunded for the deposit as you are paying for the time spent working on the piece.3. I must receive all reference images and/or text descriptions before I begin work on your commission.I will assume once your 50% deposit is paid that I have all references and images required. Character sheets, images done by other artists, text descriptions, animal/clothing/object references from google are fine. If these are not given, I will take artistic liberty- If something is necessary, please tell me. I am not responsible for changing things on a completed commission later due to prior oversight on a detail that was not communicated.Please provide accurate references!- If your references have a discrepancy between them, please let me know which is the MOST accurate or up to date.4- I reserve the right to decline a commission.If declined, I will explain why I am unable to complete an artwork for you at this time.5- The client is responsible for any shipping charges incurred for a piece.Digital pieces do not apply, as these are supplied as a .jpg or .png file. Digital commissions are NOT shipped as physical work unless otherwise specified or agreed upon before the commission. If commissioning a traditional piece you wish to receive in the mail, you are responsible for all costs and charges for the postage. I ship with Australia Post and I am happy to provide you with a quote on prices depending on what you're after. Feel free to email me with any inquiries you may have.6- I reserve the right to use any image I have created as I see fit. I retain all rights to the image and artworks.This includes, but is not limited to: Posting to my online galleries, portfolio use and/or advertisement of commission slots. I retain full commercial and distribution rights on any image I produce.The client may use their commission image for personal use only. Personal use excludes any and all commercial purposes (Logos, selling their own prints of the artwork, etc). No profit is to be made off of the image. I am open to commercial usage rights purchases on a case by case basis- quotes will be provided upon inquiry.7- Payment is accepted through Paypal or Osko only.You will receive an invoice after the quote is finalized with the agreed upon price. 50% is due upfront before work begins on your artwork- The remainder is due upon a client's sketch approval, as seen in point 2.Do not ask me to mark or accept payments as "gift" through paypal. This is to ensure both my own, and your safety with the transaction. Buyer and seller rights are waived if you conduct fraudulent payments through the "gift" option on paypal- NEVER use it when conducting business with any artist.8- I reserve the right to terminate a commissionI reserve the right to cancel and/or refund a commission at any time due to poor communication, harassment/rude or inappropriate behavior or the ability to communicate in a way we can both understand. Depending on the circumstances, the commissioner may or may not have received partial or completed work and may or may not retain any usage rights whatsoever.If a refund needs to happen, I will refund the remaining balance of the paid commission minus work and materials, depending on the situation.There are no refunds on completed work, as you are paying for my time spent creating your piece.9- If I do not receive communication from a client for over a year (12+ months), their funds and commission are forfeited and no commission will be delivered.I will make multiple attempts at communication over this time. If I receive nothing back, I am absolved from the work and the client may not request a refund.
Artist's Tools
Watercolour
For my lineart I use Copic SP Multiline markers ranging from sizes 0.05 - 0.7. These are refillable aluminum pens which also have nib replacements. The ink is vivid black and also waterproof.
I use Micador Koh-I-Noor Brilliant watercolours as my paint of choice. They are pigment based ink discs which offers exceptionally saturated colour for watercolour.
Fun tip- Use a white gel pen for highlights! They tend to mildly mix with even dry watercolour to offer a lovely pastel highlight on your work.
Traditional Badges
I use Ohuhu markers from the Honolulu range for my traditional badges (Brush/Chisel tip). They lay down colours very evenly and the brush tip is excellent for blending.I use coloured pencils for additional details (brands vary from Crayola signature range to prismacolor, however any medium-high grade pencil will do) and Uni-Ball Signa gel pens for hard highlights.
Digital
My program of choice is Paint Tool Sai. I've tried many others but I adore Sai so much for the buttery smooth brushes it offers compared to competitors for me.
I tend to use brush sizes from 3-9 for my lineart, if you want to try my lineart brush out you can find the settings below! Simply copy them as a new brush in paint tool Sai and you're ready to go.
I use an Epson ecotank ET-2700 along with premium glossy vinyl sticker paper at 100mic thickness. The paper backing of the stickers is 100% recyclable. They are weather resistant, however I would advise against placing them inside of a dishwasher due to the heat generated during cleaning. I use a Cricut maker to die cut each sticker, so each one is made at home!
Digital Con Badges are printed on high quality photo paper and laminated to add extra protection to keep your badge in tip top shape for years to come.
