BetaRat's Carrd
The name's Beta! I'm a 27 year old self taught artist. My pronouns are He/Him.I am neurodivergent and my interests shift all the time, but the most consistent one is Minecraft!Tone indicators are not really necessary for me, but you can use them if you want!
I am Dutch, and currently reside in The Netherlands. I speak both Dutch and English. I am a mostly self taught artist and animator, and am still trying to improve my work, although often accidentally burn myself out.I hope to eventually be able to do animation and art fulltime, but I still have a long way to go. Currently trying to work on freelance commissions and growing my accounts.

My art commissions are currently:
Custom commissions OPEN!!I mainly specialize in drawing Protogens, but I can and am willing to draw other species as well!Please read my TOS and Information list below before commissioning me!My prices are listed below.
General Information.
Commissioning me means you agree to the TOS and Information listed below. These terms may change at any time without notice.
I do not have a public queue list, however I can always tell you how long my queue is and what position you're in, both before and any time during the commission process.
My style is toony, and I will not change my style to be realistic or to mimic someone elses style.
I've decided to only draw furries or creatures like it for commissions, as I am not confident enough in drawing full on humans to take money for them.
I do both SFW and NSFW. I do not charge extra for just NSFW. Be aware that you must be 18+ to commission NSFW and I may ask for proof of age beforehand.
I usually include the username of my client in my posts, however I can exclude this if preferred. This won't cost extra as I will still post the artwork, just not with a username attached. Please do mention this beforehand as I won't ask after the piece is done under the assumption that it's fine.
Fandom is OK!
I can deny a commission for any reason. I can also cancel a commission at any time for any reason. I do not offer refunds after the sketch has been sent over for approval, regardless of if the client has approved it or not. However if I cancel the commission myself a full refund will be issued regardless of how much work has been done.
Please contact me either through Twitter/X, Discord, or Bluesky! The first two are preferred because Bluesky does not yet have image attachments in DMs.
Usage of my art.
You may not sell my art on products such at Shirts, Prints, Mugs, Stickers etc. You may also not use my art for things such as Album covers or Game Assets. If you would want to use my art for such commercial products, additional fees will apply and a seperate contract/agreement will be made regarding this.
You may use my art for personal use, for example: profile layouts on social media platforms, Discord/Telegram stickers, and personal items. You may also print stickers with the purpose of giving them away for free, for example at cons or events. If you are not sure if something falls under personal use, feel free to ask me.
I do not give pieces without my name signed onto it, even for private use. You may not erase my signature from the final product.
Payment information, Deadlines and Extra Fees.
The currency I use is € euro.
Payments are upfront through PayPal invoices only*! I do not start any work before the full payment is made. Paypal automatically converts foreign currency into Euro, so check conversion rates beforehand.
*YCHs will be through Ko-fi listings.
*If you're from the Netherlands, Tikkie may also be used.
If you want a piece that has multiple versions, I charge a +25% to 75% fee of the total original price for each alternate version. It does not have to be strictly SFW / NSFW. It can also be 2 versions of SFW, or 2 versions of NSFW. % depends on complexity of the edits / alt versions. Seperate versions does not include things like pose changes, detailed background changes, or different shading positions. It does include things like expression changes, outfit changes and NSFW edits such as adding or changing genitals.
I have the right to post any work I do to my socials. If you want the piece to be private (meaning I do not post it anywhere) I charge a +40% fee of the total price (this includes any alt versions). I can however withold from posting if the commission is a surprise gift for someone, until after it has been given. After it has been given, it will be posted as per usual.
I do not usually work with strict deadlines, but I always give an estimate before sending the invoice on how long it will be before I am able to get started on your commission. The length of this will depend on the size of my queue. This estimate is not to be treated as a deadline, and may be longer than initially said. If delays occur, I will send an update to let you know.
If you absolutely must have a strict deadline and being at the end of my queue would not be fast enough (for example; you'd need it in 2 weeks, but my queue is 4 weeks long minimum), I charge a +50% fee of the total price to boost you forward in the queue to fit the deadline. This addition is non-refundable even if work has not yet started, unless I miss the agreed upon deadline due to error on my end, in which case the 50% fee will be refunded. A deadline can never be less than 14 days after the invoice has been paid. I may deny a strict deadline for any reason.
If the deadline has been missed due to lack of communication from your end, the 50% fee will not be refunded. This could be for example: me sending over the sketch a week before the deadline, but I do not get a response back until the day before, making me unable to finish in time.
Commission Process.
During the commission process I will send a sketch over for approval. During this I can still make edits*. After the sketch has been approved, I will continue with the piece, and edits will no longer be made unless it's a personal fault of mine (for example, missing a marking in the colouring or I forgot to line something that was in the sketch). I will not show progress between the sketch being approved and the final product.
*I will make 2 free edits during the sketch process. If you want multiple things changed, group them together into 1 edit. For example: Changing the position of an arm, the expression, making the tail bigger and adding wings. Seperately they are 4 edits, which would go over the free limit. But if you group them all together, it is 1 edit. This saves both you and me a lot of time going back and forth.
After these free edits, if you still want more changed, I do charge a €10 fee per additional edit. This payment will be required up front before any more changes will be made.
I do not add detailed backgrounds to any pieces other than Painted. All artwork besides painted will have a gradient background by default, but a transparent or white background version can be requested for no additional fee. I do not provide these standard, so you must let me know. For transparent background versions, my signature will be moved onto the character.
If you want the piece to have a specific size you must let me know beforehand. Otherwise I will draw, resize and crop the canvas as needed. Headshots are almost always a square ratio.
I deliver my art in .png format. I do not send my .clip files.
If you want me to send the art via email as to not have compression from social media, let me know where to send it to!
Thank you for reading through my TOS! <3

Custom Protogen Design | €100+
An artistic freedom protogen design made by me. I will follow the official rules regarding design features/rarity. I am okay making non-canon protogens as long as it doesn't use any restricted features or hybrids with other custom species.
You will give me a colour palette/Idea/Moodboard/Specific details that you would like, and I will make a custom design for you based off of this.
For the base price you will get 1 flat coloured fullbody showing off the design, and full character rights. I may add extras like close ups of specific details, these would not cost you any extra as they were my own choice to add. There is no guarentee that I will add these details!
There will be no Work in Progress images sent like a sketch, but you get one free revision afterwards if you would like some small things changed.
I will not change major things like a full marking change on the whole character for example (Going from tiger stripes to leopard spots as an example)
You can use this design/character for whatever you like.
For an extra fee, I can add the following:
+€70 I make it a ref sheet by adding a second view. The poses will be custom and picked by me.
+€35 you get an expression from the neck up.
+€55 I add a chibi fullbody doodle of the design.I will not add shading.If you would like anything else specific to be added, feel free to ask!
As an example, taking the design below it couldve been made with the following information:-A dragon themed protogen, but keep the fluff. One set of ears.
- The fur would be a mix of different shades of purple. The armour would be much lighter in colour.
- Any additional details would be in a rainbow colouring.
- For markings I'd like the diamond shape to be used.
Some other designs I have made:
Painted Piece | €235+
A fully shaded image of your character with a drawn and shaded background.Depending on the complexity of the piece, the price may increase. This may be extremely detailed backgrounds or usage of (complex) props for example.I do better with natural backgrounds, rather than city / indoor scenes. If I feel it is outside of my skillset, I may decline the commission.Additional characters are +€90 per character, regardless of how much of them is visibleExample: A three character piece with one being a fullbody, one halfbody and one just a headshot, will be €415.
€235 base price, +€180 for 2 extra characters.
Reference Sheet | €120+
A flat coloured reference image of your character. This comes standard with 2 views (front and back, on a 3/4th angle view) and a colour palette.I do not add shading to the main views of the characters.Any additions to the image will have an extra cost, with some examples being:
+€30 per expression. This will be from the neck up with a floating hand.
+€10 to +€35 per prop item, depending on complexity.
+€20 for paws with shaded pawpads, or a closeup of the mouth with the inside shaded.
+€50 for an added side view. The arm closest to the viewer will not be drawn.
+€20 for a custom pose on the front/back view, instead of the usual one arm up pose.
+€70 per extra fullbody besides the standard front/back view or side view.
For anything not listed in the examples above, just ask!
Sketch Page | €50+

For the base price you get a minimum of 4 sketches of your character. No linework/Colours are available for these commissions.
The more you pay, the more sketches you will get. There is no specific amount per sketch to add more. You can't choose poses, but you can give me a vibe/mood you'd want me to follow.For the time being, only one character per sketch page!
