PMV COMMISSION INFO

UPDATE (FEBRUARY 2026)
I have discontinued offering animatic commissions, since they ended up being too similar in time taken, and output, to my PMVs.
If we were in discussion about animatics before February 11th, 2026, then the old pricing will apply.
All future inquiries, please refer to the PMV pricing!


Video

Example: Narcissist PMV
Time taken: ~1 month
Characters belong to @Thistle_Grass (Insta)(note: originally commissioned under my animatic pricing)

pmv: base is $3.00/sec

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

General info:
she/her pronouns || mid 20s || you can call me Gak or gak_illustrates (capitalization doesn't really matter)
Q: What is the best way to contact you?
A: You can DM me on Discord (@gak_illustrates), Instagram, or Tumblr! Or Artfight during the active season (July).
Q: What can/should I contact you about, where?
A: I would prefer the Discord be kept to serious commission/project inquiries, but my Tumblr and Artfight can be more informal.
Q: Where are you most active (posting art, etc.)?
A: YouTube (always) and Artfight (in July). Trying to be a little more active on Tumblr lol!
Q: What programs do you use?
A: I try to list these in the description of my videos, and it depends on the project. But usually it's some combination of Paint Tool Sai, Clip Studio Paint, and Microsoft Clipchamp.
Q: What brushes do you use?
A: Depends, usually Paint Tool Sai's Blood Brush or Clip Studio Paint's The Real G-Pen.
Q: Can I use your videos in edits?
A: It depends! If it's my canon warrior cats fan PMVs (like PTOLEMAEA or POOL), then yes with credit. If it's my OCs, please don't BUT you can message me and ask/explain just in case.
Q: Can I make a video inspired by yours?
A: Go ahead! A lot of the time others have done PMVs to the audios before me anyway haha (like PTOLEMAEA)! If you take significant inspiration from my art, I would love a mention, but it's not required. Though, I do not approve of heavy referencing to the point of tracing / mimicry.
