Payment and Procedures
(MelodieLapot@gmail.com)
- Once we confirmed the total amount:
- Send total payment upfront.
- Can I pay 1/2 now and 1/2 later?
Due to the paypal fee rates, I don't recommend this method because the fees do not add up to the same amount if you would have paid in full in one transaction.
Example: Say you bought a $100 commission.
$100 (paid in full)= You pay: $103.30 (w/ paypal fees).
If you pay 1/2: $50; you pay: $51.80 (w/ paypal fees).
51.80 + 51.80 = $103.60 in total as opposed to $103.30 if you paid in full.
I do not want my clients to pay more than they ordered and I do not want to charge more than I need to but if you insist on paying 1/2 now, 1/2 later, I will comply. - I will include Paypal fees in the final payment amount. (Feel free to use the Paypal Fee Calculator to determine your total payment.)
- Check the box "No Shipping Required" before sending your payment.
- For any reason you need to cancel your request before any sketches process, you will be fully refunded.
I Reserve the Right to:
- Refuse service to anyone.
- During the sketch process, feel free to edit as needed. If you cancel a commission half way through the process, I will refund half of the total payment as compensation for labor.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to note me or email me at MelodieLapot@gmail.com
Gotta Bounce
Well, instead of doing an Irish Goodbye (leaving without a word) and leaving you all wondering, I'm leaving DA. This whole complicit Art Theft with AI generators has become outrageous. After so many years being part of this community, it's a bitter, bitter sorrow to see this place deliberately 'feeding their lambs to the wolves.' I'll do what I have to protect my work. Regrouping and reassess on how to do that. This will be a gradual closure but you will see things disappear over time. So, farewell DA.
Online Shop coming soon!
Hello! I'm back from....wherever I was and I've come bearing new artwork and announcements! I'm the process of starting an online shop and here's the first sticker design line up! I have other designs in the works but I wanted to flex some traditional skills with gouache and I'm happy with how these turned out.
Back in action?
Hello again, As mentioned in the title, I'm slowly rolling back into action six months later. Heading forward into 2022, it's been a nonstop series of completing one task after another. Brought my dad back home to Hawaii, as he requested. Got to see some family I haven't seen in a long time and that was a nice bonus. Dealing with the legal stuff was aggravatingly slow and that annoyed me the most about this whole ordeal but finally, I'm nearing the finish line and tying off loose ends. Meanwhile, I've been trying to get back into the rhythm with my work. I'll be working on getting the comic restarted soon. I picked up a new storyboard gig for a few months at Powerhouse which was good but I've come to realize I need something on the side to fill in the gaps between gigs. So, I've decided to start a small art business! For now, it's just a little merch/sticker shop and I'm in the process of building a Skillshare Class (hopefully, two courses). It'd be ideal to be earning income from
On Hiatus until further notice
I'll be leaving for a while. I'm not sure when I'll be back. My Dad died last month and I'm in the process of a lot of life things. I haven't drawn in months nor do I have the strength to do so. I'm very tired. Just so fucking tired.

I have a gem oc... I have a picture... I just need the design to look... Better. If that makes sense? A few tweaks to it would be nice. I also haven't designed the weapons yet. I need help with that. I'm willing to pay full price for a full body, full colored sketch commission of a design for a Gem OC for whatever the process takes. Please note me : 3
