About Us
Henlo! Here's the CrystalFruit catalogue at your service.
We're a married couple of smut artists who specialize in storytelling.
We do character designs, fully rendered illustrations, comics and animations.
Our hearts belong to happy couples, simple ideas that go brr and erotically esoteric proportions. If you want us to splatter any of these all over your characters we will be delighted to work with you!
General Information
PAYMENTS
Payments are done via Arty or SubscribeStar,
once you receive and approve the rough sketch of your commission.
Don't worry, we'll guide you if it's the first time using either.
PRICING
Our pricing is $100 per work day.
This applies to all commissions big and small, from illustrations to animations and comics.
You can expect a finished product at the end of the work session, with the possibility for upgrading later if you pay for another session.
This means flexible results but also flexible pricing options.
DELIVERY TIMES
We pride ourselves in fast delivery, so we won't bother with WIPs for corrections after the initial discussion/sketch unless you specifically ask for them or it's a big project.
This does mean you'll get your piece within the week of inquiry, assuming the queue is not big.
PERSONAL USE
You can do whatever you want with your picture.
Repost it, crop it, edit it; it's all yours.
Do's And Don'ts
We want to ensure we get genuinely enthusiastic about what we do, so while we might be picky about ideas, you can rest assured it's because we're personally invested in the piece.
We don't have a do's and don'ts list because we'd rather discuss ideas instead of shooting them down entirely, but if our webzones have failed to put it in clear terms, here's our
Stardew Valley minmax guide for maximum hearts:
Romance | Husband x Wife | Stupidly Passionate Comittment to One Ship
Hyper Sizes
Werewolf stuff | Monsterfucking
Might be more difficult to get something done if you dabble in smut that has more spiteful connotations, but unless the appeal is very very specific and can't compromise, chances are we can find a way to work with it.
Reach out for a potential pitch if you have any doubts!
Method
1) Contact us! Hello! You can use any of the sites linked above to shoot us a DM and ask for a discord link if that's more convenient.
2) Pitch us your idea. Be detailed, be vague, do it with FEELING.
3) We pitch you back a rough sketch or thumbnail of how we'd do said idea.
4A) if you don't likey, no hard feelings and nothing lost! We can reuse the pose or layout for something else in future, so we won't charge you if you're not pleased with this stage.
4B) If you do likey, awesome! We'll shoot you an invoice so we can begin work on it once it's been paid.
5) If you're doing Arty, sit tight until we contact you for the final piece, after which you can download it on the site with an approval code sent to your email. We'll send you a backup file on discord if we're using that as a contact method.
6) you can ask for corrections if we got something fatally wrong that wasn't clear beforehand or if we got carried away and changed something about the main idea that you deem a deal breaker. We'll usually ask in advance if this happens, but just know you're perfectly within your right to do this. Don't be shy!
