Guys ....

Thanks for all the interest to everyone who wrote me DM or on my e-mail.

A few things to clarify -

1. I'm not drawing requests of random people. Please don't use my email to send me your ideas or requests inquiries. I use the e-mail for paid jobs.
2. I do commissions. I'm doing those fast, so please don't bother to tell me the entire story of the character - I have other guys waiting on the line.

I have a list of things that I will not draw - so please read before contacting me for commission:

Every artist has their own dislikes – I have mine.

Below is the list of things I will not draw. Please read this list before you decide to commission me or become my Supporter. This list also forms my comfort zone.  These “don’t’s” are valid for adult-related commissions.

✬ – The “star” symbol appears next to certain topics. This means I might draw them as part of a funny story, idea, or similar—purely for comedic purposes. However, anything marked with a “*” symbol refers to fetishes that I absolutely refuse to draw as commissions or requests. Keep this in mind.

Q: You said you DON'T draw original characters—so why do you draw "Nicholas the Bard" and others?

A: I used to draw original characters (O.C.s) belonging to other people for many years. At some point, I realized that I could create my own stories, ideas, and original characters instead. Working on other people’s stories and O.C.s is simply not an option for me anymore—otherwise, my brain would explode.

Hint: If you're into Dungeons & Dragons, I can draw your DnD character—in my style.

For Business Inquiries:

If you're a representative or owner of a company/website that creates Hentai games, comics, or illustrations, please introduce yourself clearly and provide a direct business proposition. The prices listed here do not apply to commercial projects or company jobs.

"Draw This for Free Because I'm Poor!"

PLEASE,

Don’t use your financial struggles as a reason to ask me to lower my prices or work for free. If you’re truly in a tough spot, you should be out job hunting, not haggling with artists. My prices are fair, and honestly, considering the quality of work I provide, they might even be too low.

" I Have Some Requests "

By default I don't draw non-paid works or requests to random people. I'm here to get fans, supporters and clients. Filling my inbox with constant messages to draw this or that for free is annoying and will only result as a block. If you're the " I'm not paying for art" type guy - that's alright - but I'm definitely not drawing your thing for free.

NOTE : I do requests for top tier patrons at : www.patreon.com/daverooder.

That means you pledge $20 or above and thus being a supporter you'll get your thing drawn : 1 request with up to two popular characters. This is how I roll.

I want a commission and I've got points and llams to pay for.

I appreciate all the support, whether it’s a watch, a like, or a kind comment. However, when it comes to commissions, I only accept real currency—not points or llamas. While they may be fun and a nice gesture, they don’t help pay for the tools, time, or effort I put into my work.

I also invest real money into DeviantArt for extra space and promotion, so if you enjoy my content, feel free to follow along. But if you’d like a custom piece, please respect my work and pay accordingly.

Thanks for understanding! 😊

Exposure Won’t Pay My Bills

Don’t ask me to draw for “exposure.” If you’re a taxi driver, you don’t give free rides hoping someone will advertise your car. I already have my own platforms for exposure.

My Right to Decline Inquiries for commissions

I reserve the right to refuse drawing ideas or characters I dislike, for any reason, without explanation. If I say no, don’t argue—either change your idea or find another artist. There are plenty of talented ones out there!

If something isn’t listed in my Do’s and Don’ts, but you have doubts, feel free to email me and ask.

Don’t Try to Bend the Rules

If something is clearly on my Do Not Draw list, don’t insist. Showing me an old drawing I made of that won’t change my stance—I don’t draw it anymore. Arguing won’t convince me otherwise.

Some people try to sneak their original characters into commissions by asking:

"Can you draw this character from [insert show] but without the clothes, glasses, mustache, and with wings instead?"

Please don’t try this—I’ll know what you’re doing, and you’ll just be wasting both our time.

"Potential Client" Guilt Trips

I get this a lot: "I’m a potential client, but I need to test you first. Draw this for free, so I know you’re my artist!"

Nope. Find another victim.

Mirrors & Multiple Panels Cost More

"Why do you charge for two characters if it’s the same character looking in a mirror?"

"Why do I have to pay twice if the same character appears in different panels?"

Because I’m drawing it twice. The time and effort I put into it are for two or more characters. That’s why it costs more.

Lost Your Drawing? That’s Not My Job.

"Hey, I lost the drawing you made for me 2 (or 10) years ago. Can you send it again?"

I’m not your personal archivist, and I have no idea where your file is. Even if I did have it, I wouldn’t go searching for it. Try looking for it on Rule 34 or any other file-sharing platform.

Next time, please take better care of the art you paid for.

My Current Style & Preferences

Over time, my artistic focus has shifted. These days, I prefer drawing pinups, sexy/funny illustrations, and comedy-based comics. If that’s not what you’re looking for, check my Do Not Draw list before commissioning me.

"Hey, Friend! Do You Remember Me?!"

1. Please don’t feel offended if I don’t remember you or your commission from 2 to 5 years ago. I work with a LOT of people, and my brain is usually occupied with creating new funny ideas for comics. If I barely remember commissions from a month ago, imagine someone popping up after five years.
2. I’m naturally a chatty person, but when I’m deep in drawing mode, I ignore everything around me. It’s not personal—I’m just focused on my work. It might even be your commission I’m working on!

Sending me PM or Trying to chat with me on DeviantArt:

I usually get messages like :

"Do You Accept Commissions ?

I have a request !

I want you to draw me.

How are you ? "

Or Similar. If you read the info on my profile and the List of Donts you would know all the info.

I'm not here to make friendships or chat with people. I'm not interested in sexting or drawing for free, or drawing someone's wife, or OnlyFans "creator".

I'm very specific about what I do : I draw popular characters from games, comics and movies for pay.

I also draw NSFW comics : if you want to see them, you need to be my patron and pledge at least $5.

Now there's people who don't want to read this text and still are bothering me with same sort of questions - I will not respond back.
