OLIVER NIKO

Artist and writer

About me

Thank you for visiting my page! I'm Oliver, a disabled artist and writer based in the UK. I'm inspired by classic art, video games and fantasy most of all, with disability and LGBTQ themes also appearing regularly in my works. Please check out the tabs here if you are interested in commissioning me and want to learn more about what I create.See the BYF section for fandom specific information!

Before you Follow/Interact

○ Racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism etc = instant block.
○ I will not engage with anything to do with crypto currency, NFTs or AI inages, nor do I follow artists who do so.
○ Whilst I'm open about being a disabled creator due to this being a fundamental part of who I am, I will not often go into my full range of conditions or medical history. Whilst I'm also happy to educate on this or LGBTQ matters, this might not always be the case and my boundaries must be respected.
○ My Instagram, Oliver__Niko, features non-explicit NSFW at times that typically has a warning slide, unless mild. My Twitter under the same name does not feature less mild NSFW, although may contain nudity or sexually suggestive material with sensitive markers if needed. I may RT/story share nudity or sexually suggestive material here. Nikobynight on Twitter is where my more explicit NSFW and RTs can be found. Fully uncensored work has early access on my Patreon: Patreon.com/oliverniko.I'm now also on the BluSky beta under oliverniko. I post all my works here, but use appropriate NSFW warnings.My NSFW frequently features kinks, particularly BDSM, and my online space is generally very kink positive in addition to queer. I tend to list kinks briefly in captions when posting and also positions/Dom/sub roles were doable.I'm a verse and switch shipper for a number of ships even when I have a leaning, but do have strong preferences for some favourite ships including (but not limited to; these are most relevant): Sylvix, SorMik, GaloLio, Alphalim (Alphen/Dohalim). My headcanons for these are consistent among the left versus right shipping and also apply to all other ships these characters are in. I will not follow/unfollow people who regularly post different positions than what is listed here and may block or mute if it's especially consistent, no hard feelings! The same applies for squicks or triggering topics. It's not personal and is all about curating my space.Otherwise away from these favourite ships and characters, I'm generally open and will tag positions in my work for others' own preferences and avoidance of what they dislike. I don't condone nor engage with bashing people over their shipping preferences and will block people who shame others for what they enjoy.

Art Commissions

Commissions are currently closed, though I may open a slot or two soon.
If you want to commission but don't have an idea, you can sponsor one of my unused one below. Please note there are some NSFW prompts on there.

PRICING & INFO
○ All prices are listed in GBP and are paid for via an invoice that will be emailed to you. Currencies will automatically be converted in the transaction, and prices in your currency may vary depending on fluctuating conversion rates. Payment must be paid before I start working, with the option to either pay full up front or half before, half after the sketch has been confirmed. Refunds cannot be issued once I have begun working.
○ Prices are for single characters/backgrounds only. Additional characters will cost around 70% extra, which may lower or rise depending on the complexity of the character, their prominence in the piece and so on.
○ Complex backgrounds in character commissions are only available for full illustrations. Simple backgrounds are included for no additional cost.
○ These are base prices. Please bear in mind that complexity will raise the price. This includes detailed designs, complex posing, design work provided by myself and so on. Please provide photo/art references, or sufficient descriptions, for original characters.
○ I can draw: Both humans and animals, Pokémon, furries, backgrounds, NSFW (including most kinks/fetish work; please inquire), nudity, gore. For animals/Pokémon, apply the guides here to the size of the animal--portrait for small, half-body for medium and full-body for large--for an approximate price that'll be finalised when we discuss the commission.
For background orientated work, the painting figure prices can be used as a guide depending on the complexity. Loose figures that aren't the focal point can be included here; characters that are the focal point go under full illustrations.
○ My specialities are: LGBTQ and disability related work, fantasy, romance, pin-ups, kink content (especially BDSM), dramatic lighting and classical art studies. Commissions containing these will have the greatest chance of acceptance.
○ I won't draw: a/b/o, significant age gaps between an adult and minor, sexual relationships featuring minors (aged up scenarios can be discussed on a case-by-case basis), non-consensual sexual acts (dubcon can be discussed on a case-by-case basis as well), incest, a few top/bottom/Dom/sub dynamics between some characters, anything revolving around Harry Potter and genderbends/cisswap. Trans headcanons, including a different gender to their canon gender, are fine. Please feel free to message me about any of this, and note that this list is not finalised and I hold the right to deny anything I am not comfortable with.

Terms and conditions and licence information can be found at the bottom of this page.

Going by the above information will make the process smoother, with a decreased chance of your commission being rejected and higher chance of future acceptances!

DIGITAL
Digital commissions are sent to the email address used for your invoice, sent as a PNG file. I will also include any variants and a watermarked JPEG for posting on social media. Feel free to ask for any of these samples in full, for additional ones or view my portfolio for bigger insight!

Sketch examples: Grusha, Alcryst, an OC Niko and Mikleo.

SKETCH
A cleanly lined sketch with subtle hatching. Add 25% for added monochrome, 50% for simple colour and 75% for full colour. Colouring techniques on sketches can be rather experimental; please show me a sample from my work if you have a specific example you like, or alternatively would prefer a simple approach.Portrait: £25
Half-body: £35
Full-body: £45

Two examples of speedpainting landscapes. The left is molten rock with a stretch of magma. The right features a sunrise sky and rocks in the ocean.

SPEEDPAINTING - LANDSCAPE

Base price: £40

Three speedpaint figure examples; a dog, Jason Todd and a lynx.

SPEEDPAINTING - FIGURES
Same as above, applied to people and animals. I can also use video game/anime screenshots for the speedpaint. Please note that this option doesn't cover complex compositions.
Portrait: £50
Half-body: £65
Full-body: £85

Three masterstudy examples. Marianne as 'The Swing', Seteth and Byleth as 'Saint Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy' and Edelgard as 'Portrait of Countess De Koller'.

MASTERSTUDY
A study of a classic art piece, which can feature OCs or fanart. I can choose the classic art for you, the characters or both/none. Please note that if I choose the classic art piece for you, if this requires a fair amount of research and time needed to put together options, a small additional charge on the commission may apply.Pricing is a starting point for bust portraits and will raise significantly for full bodies, pieces with backgrounds and multiple characters, as standard for other options. For classic art re-imagining that requires large changes, please use the painting/full illustration options instead.
Starting point: £85

Three painting commission examples. The left is of Felix from Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes with his hand beneath his chin, Raihan from Pokemon shirtless at the beach and a silver tabby cat with bright sunlight on its head and body.

PAINTING
Fully rendered painting in a semi-realistic style. Will include a simple background, either loosely painted or photo edited, with no extra charge and can include some minor background/foreground elements. For moderate-complex backgrounds, visit the full illustration option.
Portrait: £90
Half-body: £120
Full-body: £160

Three full illustration examples. The left is Gremory Lysithea casting magic from a tome in a wheelchair, the middle is of a fantasy horse greeted by two figures in a turquoise pool of water, and the right is a Japanese woman wearing lolita fashion.

FULL ILLUSTRATION
Full rendering with a detailed scene, lighting and background. Prices will be determined by the complexity and amount of characters rather than the above sizing, and will rise significantly from these factors.
Starting price: £200+I can also make both SFW and NSFW versions of your piece if you wish for a higher price, as well as additional alts of NSFW pieces! Feel free to ask about this option.

TRADITIONAL
A high quality scan of your commission will be emailed to you, both the original and an edited version, if edits do apply. You can have the original piece shipped to you for additional shipping costs.
Prices for traditional work have a starting point based on paper size and materials, and will rise with the usual: high details, more characters and so on.

TERMS AND CONDITIONSDue to current circumstances, I cannot give concrete estimates on how long a piece will take and this will vary per each time I open slots, although I always communicate regularly and inform you of estimations of updates. I will send visual updates of the commission at each completed stage. If you have a specific deadline, this can be discussed for a higher price. I might also be able to finish your commission faster if you allow it to be used as Patreon package, so please let me know in advance if you're fine with this. Note that by default, I may post WIPs of your commission on social media or Patreon as well as the final result, and use it in my portfolio. Do let me know if you want the commission to be private or anonymous.These prices are for personal use: downloading and using as a wallpaper, personal social media banners/icons and posting on your social media with credit and printing out only for your own use. Commercial use involves anything to do with promotion for a brand, including banners and promotional artwork for YouTube/streamer channels, as well as anything that'll be used in media production/covers for non-charity projects/merch and anything else the commissioner profits from. Commercial rates will vary on the type of use, although will always be higher than personal rates. Please contact me for a quote.I will allow two major revisions in the rough stage and may give you multiple thumbnails/options to choose from. Two minor revisions will be allowed later in the piece, although anything more than this will require additional fees unless it was a clear error on my part, such as forgetting a key design element. Please be upfront and clear about what you want from the beginning.I do not permit my work to be used as an NFT or anything else to do with cryptocurrency, nor will I accept commissions in this currency. I do not permit commissions or any of my posted work to be used in AI software.I am permitted to decline a commission for any reason, and also terminate the commission progress at any time should I deem fit (with a refund, unless the above terms have been breached).

Writing Commissions

Commissions are currently closed, though I may open a slot or two soon.
If you want to commission but don't have an idea, you can sponsor one of my unused one below. Please note there are some NSFW prompts on there.

○ 100 words (up to 1,000) = £1.50
○ 1,000 words = £15
○ Every 500 words past 1,000 = + £7.50
For example: A 2,000 word commission = £30, 2,500 words = £37.50. I find the total amount by rounding. In the case of the last example, if it’s 2,000-2,499 words, it will remain as £30. If it’s 2,500-2,999, the extra £7.50 is needed.These are personal use prices. For commercial use, please contact me for a quote. Commissions are paid for via an invoice that will be emailed to you.EXTRA CHARGES○ NSFW: 50% on average. This could be less if the NSFW is fairly light or is only one scene in a story, or could rise if it features particularly heavy kink/kinks that require sufficient research on my part.
○ Horror/heavy gore: 30%
○ OCs: 20%, may rise if only a little information is given
○ Fandoms I'm unfamiliar with: 50% on average, could rise/drop dependent on content and research needed. May be declined in regards to these factors.It is up to you if you pay the full price upfront, or half before, half after I have reached the midway point on a commission. Please note that payments are non-refundable once I begin writing.SCHEDULES, PREVIEWS AND DEADLINESI cannot give concrete deadlines at this time, however I will communicate regularly through the process and provide previews. I send excerpts at each key stage, such as per third of the piece for longer commissions or halfway through for shorter ones. If you require a specific deadline, it can be discussed for a higher price.WILL/WILL NOT WRITEI will write:○ Romance between any genders and gen content
○ NSFW
○ Kinks (I am fine with most kinks & particularly favour BDSM, although please do make sure to ask if you’re commissioning a kink not posted online)
○ Both OCs and fandom
○ Violence & gore
○ Dark themes (please inquire further if required)
○ Consensual non-consent. Some dub-con and non-con may be fine, depending on context; please inquireI will not write:○ Romanticised rape/non-con
○ Romanticised paedophilia
○ Real people fiction
○ Incest (this includes adopted/step-siblings)
○ Anything relating to Harry Potter
