Hello!

Thank you for buying a custom YouTube Short!

This page is contains instructions and information about how to claim your commission, how to pick the subject you want reviewed, what to expect, and how to obtain a refund if needed.

  1. Decide what subject you want reviewed

    • Shorts can only be 3 minutes long, which is about 600 words maximum. So for best results, try to choose a subject which can be meaningfully reviewed in that time-frame.

    • A single character is easier to review than a group of characters is easier to review than an entire faction, etc.

    • I will not be doing extensive deep-dive research into new subjects for a review. i.e. I will not read an entire book, or play an entire video game, or read a 300.000 word fan wiki to get up to speed. A review of a subject I am not familiar with will be based on mostly surface-level research, and will focus on the visuals and aesthetics, not the deep lore or themes.

    • You are of course welcome to ask for a “blind” review solely based on visuals and aesthetics as well.

  2. Email me at tbskyen@tbskyen.com with your request

    • You MUST include the receipt for your purchase in the email!
      (PayPal receipt, Patreon receipt, Ko-fi receipt, etc)

    • Title your email with the subject line TBS SHP SHR CUSTOM so it does not get caught in my spam filter.

    • Include your user-name (Ko-fi, Patreon) and/or email address that you used to purchase the commission.

  3. We will discuss the subject for review and work out the details

    • I may refuse to review a certain subject for my own reasons, in which case I may ask you to pick a different subject, modify the subject, or, if that isn’t possible, I will offer you a full refund on your purchase.

    • I will generally not review someone’s personal OCs or fan-characters. I may make an exception in some cases, but most likely I will turn it down, for reasons of my own.

Please Note

Depending on my general workload, real-life commitments, mental health and other conditions, a short can take anywhere from a week to several months to finish. I ask for your patience in waiting for the work to be completed. However:

If at any point in the process you feel that your money and time has been wasted, you can ask for a refund and a full refund will be provided, no questions asked.

However far along in the production process the short was, I will simply scrap it and it will never be published.

You are both welcome and encouraged to follow-up and send emails asking for updates, they help me stay organized and on-task (although try not to send them more than once a week.)
