Frequently Asked Questions
~ For when you have questions ~
Commissions - All questions relating to my commission work.
☆ How do I know when your commissions are open?
Keep an eye on my social media (specifically twitter & discord) as I always post about it there!
☆ How long does it take you to do a commission?
I That depends completely on what kind of commission you want, if you have a set deadline or not,
if I already have commissions I am working on, as well as how I am doing health wise.
But in general I try to get smaller commissions (like emotes for example) done within a week, and big illustrations
may take around 3 months. Ask when ordering a commission and I'll give you an ETA on how long it should take!
☆ What do you draw?
I mainly draw fantasy & women, but I also make emotes, panels, overlays, logos, sub & bit badges - and more!
Check my commission page to see what I make, and how much it costs!
☆ Do you do art trades?
No.
☆ Can you draw x, y & z for me for free?
No, and asking me to do so puts you on my permanent blacklist. :)
☆ I have more questions!
All questions should be answered here or on the T.O.S page - but if not, then please feel free to email me at:
Make sure to title your email with "Commission Questions" and to properly describe what your question is!

I sell both digital & physical things!
Digital: Phone wallpapers, Vtuber assets, overlays, panels, and more!

That depends on where you live, and what is going on in the world. If you need your item(s) by a specific date,
then I'd recommend to order them as early as possible!

Vtuber& Vtubing - All questions relating to my model, Vtubing activities, and more.
☆ When is your anniversary, and when did you start?
1st of October! I became a Vtuber on the first of October 2020, and have celebrated every anniversary since with my dear community!
☆ What program do you use for tracking?
I use VSeeFace.
☆ Why are you a Vtuber?
Because it's fun, and it lets me be endlessly creative with what I do!
☆ Who made your Vtuber model?
I did! I did both the design as well as the actual model and all variations.
☆ I don't like Vtubers, can't you just use a cam instead?
HAHAHAHAHA!! No.
If you don't like what I do, then that's fine! You don't need to watch something or someone you don't like.
☆ Will you ever have a 2D model?
I hope so! They're really cool, but also super expensive, complex, and time consuming to make.
☆ What kind of Vtuber are you? Seiso or lewdtuber?
I'm just me, so I don't fit neatly into either category.
I lean more towards wholesome, but I also just have fun and whatever happens happens!
☆ Who is Senpai??
:)
Fan hashtags - Rules & Guides
- All questions relating to fan hashtags, fan content, rules & guidelines.
☆ What are your hashtags?
#MerciLIVE - Live reactions to my streams
#MerciArtAlert - SFW fanart
#MerciLook - Memes, misc & clips
18+/ecchi fanart - Has not yet been decided!

By using my hashtags you agree to this.
If I use your art for anything I will always make sure to credit & link back to you!
☆ What are your Fanart Rules?
- No political, religious, or controversial topics.
- I can't believe I need to say this, but nothing racist, ableist, homophobic, transphobic, or in any other way offensive and shitty thing. Also obviously no underage stuff.
- No tracing (neither my art or anyone else's!)
- Please do not ship me with anyone. Platonic pictures of me with my friends and such is however perfectly ok!
- No AI, NFT, or blockchain "art". I will block & ban on sight.
- For anything 18+ see the question right below this one!
- No heavy gore, but slight gore is okay. (Think my illustration of holding a heart, that level is fine, anything beyond that is a no thank you for me.)
- No bugs and such.
If there is anything you would like to draw that you are unsure if it follows the rules or not, of if you have any other questions regarding the rules, please feel free to e-mail & ask me about it at TheMerciD@gmail.com
Thank you for respecting my wishes, and have fun! ❤
☆ What can I draw & post under your 18+ tag?
I would like it to only be ecchi art (definition here: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/ecchi) for now, nothing more.
So to specify, no genitalia, no nipples (outline under clothes is ok, but not fully nude!) In short, full nudity is a no,
but light clothing is ok as long as the genitalia + nipples are covered.
Who knows, maybe I'll change my mind and be ok with more things in the future!
But for now, ecchi is what I am alright with. Thank you for respecting this!
