    Helladelic (Kelly) is my soulmate, the love of my life, and my artistic partner, Helladelic! Check her out! We collaborate together in love and art!

Check out her awesome project "Hellbent!"
  • Do you do requests/Suggestions?
    Not for free. If you want art from me, you will have to commission me.
  • Do you do art trades and/or collaborations?
    Maybe. If I'm in the mood and we're friends, then maybe. Otherwise, no.
  • Do you accept deviantART points at payment?
    No, I only accept money via Paypal.
  • Do you RP?
    Just with my partner, Helladelic.
  • Do you do graphic designs?
    No, I can't design anything that well. My amazing and lovely partner designed all my graphics and designed this website for me, so check her out! ❤️
  • What program do you use?
    Clip Studio Paint EX and Paintool SAI.
  • How do I contact you?
    The best way to contact me (if you don't have my email or Discord) for a commission, is using my form. Please note, I am willing to communicate with clients but don't take it the wrong way if I don't respond to casual chats. I am not a social person. Please be direct and avoid personal questions. I only have eyes for my partner and am exclusive with her. Messages with just "hi" and the like will also be ignored.
  • Will you donate money to me?
    No. I only give money to my partner. Don't beg me for money. I'm not Santa Claus.
  • But you did your friend a gift art! Since I watch you, we can be friends!
    This is especially annoying because I know the other person is only feigning interest in "friendship" just to weasel free art out of me. First, fuck you. I'm onto your tricks and that bullshit won't fly with me. Secondly, friendship, like art skills, takes YEARS to build. Lastly, just because someone is my friend doesn't mean they ask me for free art. They understand the value and time that goes into creating a piece and PAY ME to draw for them. I draw gift art whenever I feel like it and/or it's their birthday. They don't ask me for free art and that I drop everything to do their free request. That never happens.
  • What will you and won't you draw?
    I will draw ✅ Your / My characters ✅ Other's Characterss (Permission) ✅ Characters from media ✅ Animals and Anthropomorphic (Maybe) ✅ Vehicles (Maybe)​ ✅ NSFW / kinks I will NOT DRAW ❌ Hate art ❌ Huge, complex projects ❌ Violent/Toilet fetishes + noncon ❌ Real people (Sonas + SFW are okay) ❌ Loli / Shota / Underage ❌ Politics, Religion
  • How much are commissions?
    You can check my prices HERE! I also offer cheaper NSFW YCH commissions HERE! I only accept money via PayPal. Prices listed are in USD. I do not accept points, vouchers, etc. of any kind.
  • Can I get a discount?
    No.
  • Will you draw NSFW/fetish art?
    Yes, I am open to drawing NSFW and most fetish art. Inquire first. My info can be found here.
  • Will you draw original characters/personas?
    Yes, I will draw your personas and/or characters, my characters, and other people's characters and personas with their permission.
  • Will you draw real people?
    Yes, I can draw you, your partner, friend, favorite celebrity, YouTuber, et al. However, I will NOT draw real people in 18+ contexts, UNLESS permission is given by them and I know it's them.
  • Will you draw characters from fandom media?
    Yes, I will draw characters from anime, cartoons, games, and comics, excluding Family Guy, Sonic, MLP, and Loud House. I will also draw live-action characters. However, I would be portraying the character, not the actor themselves.
  • Will you draw vehicles?
    Yes, a vehicle costs the same price as a character.
  • Will you draw anthropomorphic characters and/or animals?
    Animals, yes. Anthropomorphic, maybe. It largely depends on the design.
  • Do you do comics?
    Yes. Prices start at $280 for a fully colored page with 3-4 frames, depending on details and complexities. Each frame is drawn differently from scratch. However, frames that only require small changes to the same image appearing more than once will decrease the cost. In this case, see the next question for more information.
  • Can I get alternate versions of my commissions?
    Yes, of course. Here's a rough estimate for each edited piece: + Dialogue version: Free. + Different facial expression: $15 + Different outfit: $20+ + Re-drawing/moving a body part: $20+ + Nude/clothed version: $20 + Day/night alts: $20+ (depends on how much I have to change the shading) I can also compile these pieces into a comic/image series if requested. It would be the more affordable alternative to a comic commission as each frame wouldn't need to be drawn differently from scratch.
  • What can I do with my commissioned art?
    You may post it anywhere you like, use it as an icon, wallpaper, etc. as long as credit is given to Arthur Q/ArthurQF. You may also print it out, hang it on your wall, print it on a T-shirt, etc., as long as it's for personal use only. Do not produce for profit or mint as an NFT! I retain the rights to my work. If you wish to use the art as a logo or T-shirt design for profit, please let me know and we can arrange something.
  • Can I use the artwork for my band, business, etc.?
    If you wish to use the artwork for those purposes, please let me know and we can arrange something. Please note, the prices listed on my commission page are my personal use-only prices. Commercial uses will increase the cost.
  • Do you post completed commissions to your website?
    I usually do. However, I retain the right to host/not host/remove any art on my social media. I will do one of the following: Post your commission crediting your name. Post your commission crediting you as "anonymous" if requested. Not post the commission if privacy is requested, or for my own reasons. Remove the commission from my gallery. If I don't post your commission or remove it, that does not entitle you to a refund. I always send the high-res file when the work is complete for your own use. If you wish to host it in your own gallery, you can but please give proper credit to Arthur Q/TheVerdantHawk.
  • Can I use my commissioned art for my band, business, etc.?
    If you wish to use the artwork for those purposes, please let me know and we can arrange something. Please note, the prices listed on my commission page are my personal use only prices. Commercial uses will increase the cost.
  • Do you do refunds?
    Only if I haven't started it for some time (i.e., a month), I will issue a full refund. Otherwise, all sales are final.
  • Why does it cost so much? OR Why do I have to pay?
    This question is one of the tried and true methods to getting on my shit list. I am creating a custom one-of-a-kind piece made specifically for you. You can't get it elsewhere. I spend hours working hard on it and have spent years crafting my skill. I also have a disability to contend with, bills to pay, and my own projects, so it needs to be worth my time and energy, and not lead to burnout. If you haggle my prices, get lost. DO NOT try to negotiate or tell me what other artists charge. I don't care. These are my commissions and I will determine what my rates are! Believe me, every client I have ever done art for said it was worth it. If you can't afford it, then you can't.
  • What is Verdant Hawk?
    Verdant Hawk is my indie project with my original characters. It's set in 1987 on the Planet Reona. It's a black comedy, sci-fi, and neo-noir series about the hapless citizens of Pink Top City and the fight of genetically enhanced people against the group that made them this way.
  • What is the meaning of the title "Verdant Hawk?"
    It's Celeste's assassin codename. Verdant is an adjective to describe something of a bright green color. A hawk can describe a bird of prey typically taking prey on a short chase OR a person who advocates an aggressive or warlike policy, especially in foreign affairs. That adequately describes Celeste!
  • Are Verdant Hawk and Hellbent the same story?
    Verdant Hawk is my story, created and written by me. Hellbent is my partner's story created and written by her. They're both their own separate entities. Nevertheless, there will be some crossover between them. Her characters will play a role in my story; my characters will play a role in her story. Some events may happen in Hellbent that don't in Verdant Hawk and vice-versa. Alternatively, the same event may differ from the other to fit the narrative and themes of each other's story. Verdant Hawk is a darker story with sci-fi elements and is set on a fictional planet called Reona, whereas Hellbent tends to be a bit more on the light-hearted side and down-to-earth, set in an alternate version of our world. For example, in Hellbent, Maxx always had a nut allergy and intentionally ate peanut brittle to manipulate Brad into doing his bidding. In Verdant Hawk, Maxx didn't have a nut allergy until a genetically enhanced Xupran escaped the lab and bit him several times, therefore transferring Xupran DNA into him. This was when Maxx acquired his lethal nut allergy as well as extreme durability and won't die unless killed.
  • How long have you been working on Verdant Hawk?
    I was working on it since 1987/1988. I drew various characters on lined paper, shelving many, bringing them back, or whatever. Verdant Hawk went under many titles until I settled on Verdant Hawk, which is Celeste's codename. I learned a lot about writing and character development by working on this project and reading many books. My partner has also helped me with developing this project via our collaborations and RPs!
  • Are you okay with fanart, crossovers, etc.? What are your boundaries?
    Yes, of course, I would appreciate it, thank you! You don't need my permission. However, if you are only drawing me something in order to get something in return, I will see right through it. I'm savvy about that bullshit. I'll break it down. Yes, perfectly okay: ✅ Fan art. ✅ Fanfiction. ✅ Crossovers. ✅ Commissioning me or others for my characters. ✅ Fetish art. No, never: ❌ Sex and/or romance with others' characters. (Helladelic's only) ❌ Sexual/fetish context with child-like characters like Lily. ❌ Noncon. ❌ Incest. ❌ Changing their orientation, race, body type, etc. ❌ Stinky/Sweaty feet (Unless the character has that) ❌ Insisting your headcanon is canon. If you're ever unsure about something, check the character bios or information or ask me.
  • Can you write my characters/me in your story?
    This is part of the reason I had to reboot Verdant Hawk and change someone's shitty characters into my own characters. He is no longer using these creations and opts to play a fictional character for his spouse nowadays. Anyway... The answer is NO. This awful former friend made "Verdant Hawk" versions of his characters and forced me to insert those in Verdant Hawk. It got to the point where Verdant Hawk was no longer my project and he was pulling all the strings. You are free to write fanfiction, Verdant Hawk fan-characters, or Verdant Hawk versions of your character, but they will not be included in my story. I only include Helladelic's characters because they flow naturally in my story and I asked her. There was no twisting of my arm, unlike what previously happened.
  • Can I RP as your characters?
    I would appreciate it if you wouldn't but I guess whatever you do in the privacy of your Discord DMs/email/private chat is out of my control.
  • Where can I find kinky information about your characters?
    If you're looking for risque artwork of a particular character or wish to know their kinky information, you can find it all ⭐️ right here! ⭐️
