Rainbow Mouse Studio

Yes, this is tl;dr. Do you have to read it all if you want a sketch? I highly suggest you do so, though the whole thing is not required reading. But reading “What is it?”, “How do I get a sketch?” and “When do I pay you?” and the TOS is mandatory.

What is it?
Mosa’s Sunday sketch stream. $5 minimum, you pay what you think I’m worth. I will make a sketch for you during the stream, and once you’ve received the sketch, you can either go on your merry way, or pay me more if you feel the sketch was worth it. I love tips. They encourage me and make me feel these streams are worth it. Considering my slightly cleaner sketches normally go for $15 for a single character, I don’t think this is too much to ask. If you want a two character sketch or a complicated single character picture, consider sending $10 or more. Complicated two character picture, consider sending $15 or more. These minimums are not enforced, but simply common courtesy. Thank you.

How do I get a sketch?
Send me an email (mosa[at]rainbow-mouse.net) with your character references. You can include a pose preference, or even a pose reference if you like.

Send money to (plainpiemaster[at]gmail.com). You can pay more than the minimum if you like, obviously, either before or after the sketch is done. But you don’t have to. These aren’t going to be super elaborate. INCLUDE YOUR FA NAME ON BOTH EMAILS.
PLEASE NOTICE THE TWO SEPARATE EMAILS. If you send payment to my contact email, I will not get it. If you send your idea to my payment email, I will not get it. This will result in you not getting your sketch, and it will not be my fault.

When do I pay you?
You can reserve slots a week in advance if you like. You probably should try to get one before the stream itself starts, in any case. But sometimes there are slots open well into Sunday, and you can grab them if you want them. Payment is always up front. I don’t get money, I don’t give you the spot. And If I don’t get money and don’t give out spots, I draw clowns being abused. :V Please prevent this.

Where is it?
I have been using join.me, of which the url changes each time, so I’ll post it up in the day’s stream st.

When is it?
Sunday. Derp.

What time?
Sunday. Every Sunday. All day. Well, starting from 11pm Saturday night til 10pm Sunday night. Lots of people do sunday streams. How many people do it for 15 hours over a period of 23?

Holy shit, how can you do that?
Well obviously I’ll be taking some breaks. An hour break every four hours, to be precise, plus a larger five hour break from 6am to 11am so that I can nap, eat and watch a tv show with chaosie, then nap again. So the streaming will happen in three hour chunks, but it’ll be pretty constant. If you happen to pop in while I’m on break, you’ll get to meet burger slug who will tell you when I should be back.

What will the sketches look like?
They’ll start off pretty messy, but the final will be clean, on top of the semitransparent undersketch. They’ll be monochrome, in whatever color I feel like drawing in at the time. Check my FA gallery for previous sketches.

Sketch Stream TOS

By sending me money for Sunday art, you agree to the following:

You have read and understood the TOS for regular commissions here on this site, and what I will and will not draw.

You will pay $5 minimum UP FRONT for a sketch, send the funds to the correct email address, description to the right email address, and make sure that any references are as correct as possible and sent as attachments or linked from a stable, non FA server. Those references which have inconsistencies or are inaccurate must be corrected in words. To fail to do any of this can result in your sketch not getting done, or done incorrectly.

You will send references as attachments or linked from a non FA server, BECAUSE FA can go down during the stream, which results in me not being able to see your reference. If you are not present during the stream or do not respond to my request to resend the references, this can result in me delaying your sketch, or, skipping it entirely.

You do not need to wait for a response to see if I’ll do the sketch. Simply send the description. Send the money. When I get both, I will add you to the queue. If you read my TOS linked in my footer, you should already know what I won’t draw.

The quality of your sketch is up to my own discretion. Sketches are generally all similar quality no matter the price paid, but if I feel you’re asking too much for what you paid, I have the right to half-ass it, as I have a limited timeframe to do it in.

You do not need to be present in the stream in order to receive a sketch. As long as you have paid, and I am able to work with the description and references given, your sketch will be completed and uploaded to FA within a few hours, so you can see it there if you miss the stream.

If you wish to see your sketch as it’s drawn, you must make yourself present at the scheduled time. You CAN request a specific time block when ordering your sketch, but only if that time block is not already full.

Each person initially has a limit of four sketches, and each sketch will be dispersed over the course of the day, generally one per block, two at the most. You are also capped depending on how many slots are left. You cannot buy ten sketches from me at 2pm on Sunday, there is no way in hell I’ll be able to even make a dent, and may not be able to get to them at all. Sure, you can PAY me for ten sketches, but if I’ve only got room to give you two, the rest of the money is a tip. I don’t do refunds or carry overs. Preorders for the next week can only be made after the current stream is over, and payment sent separately.

THE EXCEPTION to the four sketch limit is only if I do not have a queue and still have time for more sketches. Then you are free to buy more as I finish them as long as I am free, to keep me from drawing clowns.

Sketches will be done in a specified order (foremost by payment UNLESS you specifically request yours be done at a certain time, or alternating blocks if you purchase more than one). My schedule is extremely flexible, as long as you don’t request me to draw during one of my break times. (2-3am, 6-11am, 2-3pm, 6-7pm) If you must take up a whole block on your own, it must be reserved before the stream starts, and please consider sending an additional tip for mine and other’s inconvenience.

Other Info

I am able to stream all day, because I don’t actually sleep longer than an hour at a time, hence the one hour breaks dispersed throughout the day. Sometimes I am more sleepy than usual at different points during the day, and might even start to nod off for brief moments while drawing. You can tell I’m dozing when my sketch speed slows to a crawl and stray scribbly lines begin appearing on the picture. I ask for your patience during this time, which tends not to last any more than an hour, generally the first hour of block 4, but it has sometimes been known to happen within the last hour of earlier blocks.

The Sketch Queue will be posted on my page the day of the stream, both here and on FA, though the FA one will be updated more frequently.
