Frequently Asked Questions

Here is a list of frequently asked questions I receive. If you cannot find the answer you are looking for, please contact me via my email: [email protected]

General Questions

What can I call you?
Nokt is fine! Or Matt, if you prefer my 'real' name.What are your pronouns?
My pronouns are he/himWhat kind of art do you do?
I specialize in animal art of all kinds. I draw cartoon animals, furries, realism and palaeo art! I also love drawing fantasy creatures, pokémon and other fictional species. I mainly do digital artwork nowadays but I got my start in traditional.Do you do NSFW artwork?
Yes I do! You can find my NSFW work on my Furaffinity.What programs do you use?
I mainly use an iPad Pro with apple pencil, along with Procreate. I also use Paint Tool Sai and Clip Studio Paint with an XP-Pen Artist 22" tablet when I am at the desk.What is your work schedule?
I don't have a set schedule, but I mainly work Mon-Fri, or sometimes Tues-Fri on commission work. I try to keep the weekends for personal art and projects.Are you self-taught?
I have a degree in Animation, but I consider myself self-taught. I was never taught the basics of art and my art education was lacklustre. Everything I know is from practice and reference!Do you stream at all?
This is something I am looking into and will hopefully start in 2023!Can I chat with you on telegram or discord?
I only use telegram for close friends, and do not like to discuss commission work through it as I find it's easy to lose important information.I am currently trying to learn more about Discord so that I can create a server for my art and for my patrons.If you would like to chat in general, the best way to reach me would be twitter!Can I use your art as a tattoo?
This depends on the art in question. If the artwork was commissioned by someone else, then no. If the art was something that you personally commissioned, feel free to! If you want to use my personal art, please contact me.Can I use your art as an icon?
Please only use artwork you have personally commissioned from me, or one of my free-to-use bases as icons. Everything else is likely someone's personal character.

Commission-Related Questions

Most questions regarding commissions can be answered via my Terms of ServiceAre you open for commissions?
I announce commission openings via my Twitter and FurAffinity accounts.How do you accept payment?
I accept payment via Paypal and through Bank Transfer (UK) only! For Paypal, once a price is confirmed, I will send an invoice with the exact amount quoted, along with an option to add a tip, if you would like to.How long does it take to get a commission?
Most commissions are done under a month, however for larger projects I can take up to 2 months. This depends on my workload and communication with you, the client. I also suffer from chronic illness which sometimes requires me to have days off. If you have a deadline, please let me know beforehand!Do you offer alternative versions of a commission? (e.g. NSFW/SFW)
I can do alternative versions of a commission for a small fee (around £10), unless the alternative version will require lots of extra drawing - in which case the fee will increase. You must let me know up front that you'd like alternative versions!Will you post my commission online?
I post most of my commission work to my online galleries, primarily Patreon, FurAffinity and Twitter. Please note, I occasionally curate my galleries and may remove certain works without warning. If I have not posted your particular piece, it may be that I have not gotten around to it or just chose not to post it, it is never anything personal.Can I post my commission to my socal media?
Yes of course! You do not need to wait until I post your commission before you post it. Feel free to post it wherever you want, provided you link back to my gallery/twitter or here.Can you keep my commission private? i.e. Not post online
Yes I can, however this must be declared on the commission form at the time of ordering. I charge a +50% fee for private commissions, as they cost me advertising/exposure on my galleries. If you later choose to post the piece, the contract is void, and I can also post it. The fee is non-refundable.Do you do comic commissions?
Currently I can do 1-4 page comics, maybe more, but I am still working out my pricing for these. I do not offer comics as a regular option, so please email me with full details if you are interested in this. Rates will vary depending on the amount of characters, level of finishing, amount of panels etcWhat currency are your prices in?
