❅ about me

❅ Hi there! My name is Caur and I am your 30y old local Greek Gposer (yes, I consume tons of garlic, no, it is not pronounced ti-zey-tizay-kay damnit). I’ve been playing FFXIV since 2016 and am actively doing all sorts of content, from Gposing to hardcore raiding, to worshipping Bahamut in the secret altar in my basement.❅ I’m your classic ex-gifted, burnt out eldest daughter whose will to live runs on unlimited puns including my name, caffeine, my cats, traumatising books and honestly any art and craft that includes pretty colours. Bonus points for disability and tons of self sarcasm!❅ I casually Gposed for awhile but I have been working with/for one of my best friend’s mod previews and portfolios for over 3 years, including both creative images showcasing their work, and streamlined, consistent across the board previews.❅ Starting this journey of Gpose commissions as a 16-month long (and counting) job hunt has been kicking my butt financially and mentally and I’m honestly excited to see where this takes me and how much more I can learn! Photography/photo editing is one of the interests I discovered a little late in life but I am sincerely enjoying my time doing it and improving at it.❅ If you’re still reading, first of all thank you for having kept up with my yapping. Any support from you means the world to me and if you decide to work with me I can’t wait to see what we can create together!❅ And here’s a fun fact: my disability stems from the chronic condition called Myasthenia Gravis. I won’t bore you with the details but because of how rare it is and how differently it expresses itself on each person, the MG community calls us snowflakes because we’re all so different from each other. Hence why I am using the snowflake as part of my formats.❅ And if you’re still reading, damn, thank you! I hope to be seeing you around! Below you’ll find ways to contact me and a link to my commission form.───── ⋆⋅❅⋅⋆ ─────

❅ terms of service

↬ Disclaimers

❅I own only the images, including their composition, artistic direction and photo editing. The game and aesthetic mods belong to their respective creators. I am only compensated for my time and services and I am not profiting off of other creators or the game.❅My images are created for private use with either credit or a link to my social media given. Any commercial use falls solely on the client.───── ⋆⋅❅⋅⋆ ─────

↬ My work process

❅ All communication with me will be taking place on Discord.❅ I only work with MCDF files, so that I may work at my own time and pace, as timezones and my chronic illness may prove limiting. If you require help with exporting your MCDF please do not hesitate to ask for instructions.❅ Upon delivery you will be receiving high quality image(s) in png form, however, due to their large file size (50-100MB) I will be offering a compressed version when requested.Note: The compressed image will have compromised quality but will be possible to be used in social media with file size limitations.
You will also be provided with a clean png for personal use and a version with my watermark, which I would appreciate if it were used when/if the image is posted on social media, in order to protect my art.❅ The image will be created in game using shaders, shot in 4K, followed by minor photo editing using non-destructive means such as layer adjustments, and additional effects should you choose them.My current collection of effects is a little limited but stay tuned for updates as I keep learning!❅ I have most experience in working with higher fantasy shots and outfits, but I am actively working with more modern concepts as can be seen in my gallery.❅ I am more than happy to be given free will to create the image with my own inspiration/way of working or discuss with you about the concept of the idea is not concrete in your mind.❅ After I have received any references from you, I will work to incorporate your idea in my own style of photoshooting. I will be delivering the final product(s) without intermediate discussion as my work is almost always a “trust the process” situation.❅ At the time being I mostly work with SFW concepts but I may be open to tasteful nudity depending on the situation and my personal boundaries. Feel free to discuss with me your ideas but please keep in mind that anything non-SFW may have additional charging.❅ I reserve the right to reject or terminate at any point the commission for reasons including but not limited to:
❆ Communication with the client turns unpleasant
❆ The concept oversteps my personal boundaries
❆ My ToS are not respected
❆ I feel like I cannot deliver the concept in a quality as high as the rest of my work❅ Requests of photo editing alterations (such as brightness adjustment) may be made and I will work on them to the best of my ability. Complete gpose overhauls will either be rejected or come with additional fees.Note: Any requested changes/accepted overhauls may not be delivered immediately.───── ⋆⋅❅⋅⋆ ─────

↬ Payment

❅ All commissions are made in Euros. A minimum of 50% must be paid before I start any work, however, the remaining amount may be paid anytime up to delivery.❅ Payment plans are an option to be discussed with, but the final product(s) will be delivered after 100% of the payment is received.❅ Payment is only available via Kofi Donation or PayPal in special circumstances.───── ⋆⋅❅⋅⋆ ─────

↬ Timeline

❅ I will strive to deliver within one week, however it may take longer due to unexpected flare ups of my chronic illness. Please rest assured I will communicate any and all delays.❅ The priority with which I work on the commissions is not first come first serve, as I will pick and choose which commissions I will do.❅ Each image usually takes between one to three hours to create in game followed by editing.
