Hi, I'm Arkoren! I'm a furry artist primarily working on VRChat content :3Check out my store for avatars and join my Discord server Cat Moon Cafe, where we host VRChat events, giveaways and more!I currently don't plan on taking commissions, but you can follow my accounts to know if I ever do.

Terms of Service

  • Payment will be handled through a Paypal invoice, if this doesn't work for you, please let me know before I start working on a commission.

  • When commissioning an avatar edit, you must have permission to use and edit the avatar. I will not work from ripped/stolen avatars, or avatars where editing is not allowed (for example, in the TOS on the avatar's store page).

  • I may charge extra to work with poorly made or "Frankensteined" avatars.

  • You must be 18+ to commission NSFW content. (NSFW avatars must be uploaded private, I am not responsible for actions against your account(s) if avatars are used inappropriately)

  • Having reference images is almost always required for avatars, clothing assets, etc.

  • I may contact you to ask for clarification on references and to send progress updates/images.

  • If account information is shared so that I may upload an avatar on your behalf, I will not use that information for any other purpose. I will do everything I can to protect your info, but I am not responsible for any kind of compromised accounts. If it concerns you, I suggest changing your password before and after I've finished the upload.

  • I will not do the following: excessive blood/gore, underage NSFW, pregnancy, and some others. Message me if unsure.

  • Commissions must be paid in full before you receive the files and/or avatar. In some cases, I may also ask for partial or full payment before work starts or continues.

  • I am allowed to stop or refuse work on a commission for any reason, in which case you will receive a refund of any money paid.

  • In cases where payment is refused, or an unapproved chargeback is made, I am allowed to sell any custom assets or content that was created for the commission.

  • If I need to add an extra charge, I do my best to make sure you know in advance. If you think something may cost extra, please ask about it!

  • I may upload images of the completed avatar and/or renders to my social media pages and queue page or to promote my commissions, unless requested otherwise.

  • You retain all rights to your character(s) and their appearance. However, any assets or images created by me for the commission are not to be sold (in full or partial) or used on merchandise without prior agreement.

How long do your commissions take?

Commission time obviously varies on what exactly is being worked on and what other commissions I have, but I would say usually say expect to get something back in 2-4 weeks for small edits (retexture, etc), and 2-3 months for large edits or full avatars, though I'll definitely try to have it done sooner than that if I'm able.I suggest checking my my Trello with the Queue link at the top of the page to see what other commissions I'm working on if time is a concern ^^
