I may have unlimited bandwidth, but I don’t have unlimited time and energy to keep answering the same questions.

About Me

My name is Marc Siaw (蕭). I’m an Iban (native Bornean) Peranakan (Chinese immigrant to Malaysia) man who was born in California and raised in Hawaiʻi. I own a parrot who is my absolute lifeblood.

I’ve been drawing ever since I could pick up a pencil, and the same goes for writing. I started to learn front-end web development when I was twelve years old — I wanted to run a webcomic. It was my huge, lofty “end-goal” dream right up until I realized just how much work it would be to maintain, hahah.

Commissions

Payment

Do I have to pay upfront?

You may, depending on what you’re ordering. Any commission involving any physical good must be paid upfront so that I can purchase materials; otherwise, payment is usually a minimum 30% upfront with the remainder when the work is finished.

Are price quotes and estimates free?

Yes.

Scraps and YCH

What does “YCH” stand for?

“Your Character Here.”

Do you sell the same base scrap to different finishes (“multi-slot” scraps)?

Not unless stated upfront that a scrap may be “multi-slot”.
