frequently asked questions




What program(s) do you use?
I mainly use Clip Studio Paint, although I occasionally switch to Krita, Photoshop, and Paint Tool SAI. In the event that we were to travel and I wanted to work while on the road, I would use Procreate. As for Live2D Rigging or Animation, I use Live2D Cubism!
How do I begin a commission order?
Kindly read my TOS thoroughly and head over to the "ORDER" button. It will bring you to a Google form on which you can apply for what you want to commission.
Are you open for commissions all the time?
Always be on the lookout on Twitter (X), my Trello, and on the homepage of this website to know when I'm open for commissions.
Why are your commission prices so high?
As my personal life deteriorates, I work on other projects in real life, alongside various people; my workflow is extremely precise and takes up almost all of my time as I devote all of my emotion, effort, and energy to each and every work I create.
Can I draw your OC or Can I draw my OC with you?
Yes, you can! I am always eager to see other people draw Cotton or any of my other characters. However, please refrain from drawing Cotton in any explicit way. While I'm totally not okay with it, I've had my experiences with not asking for my consent. Please remember to use my art tag #cottart so I can view them!! If you want to draw my character in such a way, I have a mascot specifically for NSFW content. @sushiiwarma.
Do you stream?
Yes! I stream on my Twitch channel, @cottonsweets I rarely stream nowadays, but when I do, I mostly do it at night around 7 PM or 12 AM GMT+8. To stay updated with my streaming schedule, feel free to check my Twitch schedule or join my Discord server, where I post weekly updates for when I finally have a proper schedule again.
Where can I find timelapse of your work?
I have a Patreon page where I share monthly timelapses of my work, as well as works in progress and other exclusives! @cottonsweets
