FAQ

  • General

I do all my model work on a laptop that sports a GTX 1060 and an 8 gen i7-8750h (It is slowly trying to die). I havent had a desktop for nearly 10 years now. (last one was built for me to specifically run WoW: Wrath of the lich king) I do not have a VR headset as most make me very ill. This also makes testing things very difficult as I have to rely on others and I am anti social. Unless something changes in my life to allow me more time I will not make quest avatars, but you are free to hire someone to convert one to be quest. (more info on this below) While tips are never required they are greatly appreciated, everything I make through gumroad, jinxxy & kofi are going to bills and saving up for an actual desktop. While I provide everything for free I do set a minimum price for some items if you wish to donate. mostly due to how much more work was put into them. I suck at making clothes, if you have the desire to make things for one of my avatars do it and put it up for sale. (credit for the og avatar but thats about it) When trying to get ahold of me try my discord server first, twitter doesnt notify me when a msg is waiting. I will not accept a private DM on discord. This is for my sanity and so if I cant help someone more knowledgeable can I HATE UNITY, most of my unity packages will be SUPER simple (materials dynamics and rotation constraints) IF its mroe indepth I had help more often than not. I genuinely love when people work hard to make something of mine into truly their own, It makes me very happy and help keep me motivated to keep creating things. That being said I get into slumps where my brain is mean and while i know better its hard to focus to you may get a point in time where I am putting out an avatar once or twice a month or itll be months with no WIPs. Usually during those times there is something being scratched at but they usually end up abandoned.If your curious why I dont really post outside of my discord or only in discords where I am close to the owner and have probably asked them 100x if its really okay. I hate promoting myself in other peoples servers even if they have a space for it. It makes me feel icky idk why it just does.

  • Kitbashing

CREDIT IS ALWAYS REQUIREDPermission is required whenever you are kitbashing one of my models with the intent of ANY distribution.This includes selling, commisions, sharing, public uploads.You do not need permission if you are kitbashing one of my models with another one of my modelsAS LONG AS IT STAYS PERSONAL AND PRIVATE.The second you wish to distribute the model in any way previously stated permission is required.

  • Asset & Package creation

You do not need permission to make and sell custom assets for any or my models.You do not need permission to make and sell textures. It does not matter if it is commission or a listing.You do not need permission to make and sell commissioned art. If you enjoy my models enough to make them an OC and want art go for it. Think of them as open species.You do not need permission to make or hire someone to make a quest version of any of my avatars.
But if you or the individual you hired wishes to distribute the quest version I do ask you reach out to me so I can discus how to distribute .
(preferably as their own listing with credits on both theirs and the official listing so they can receive donations (I WILL NEVER ASK FOR A PERCENTAGE OF YOUR DONATIONS))
CREDIT IS STILL REQUIRED FOR THE THINGS YOU ARE SELLING!!!

  • Crediting

What my credits should look like:

OR What product the asset is for.
