Commission Only One-Of-One Never Resold

Scroll to bloom
Every piece starts here

A bud. A name. An ache you want made visible.

It opens slow

Custom clothing. Digital portraits. Wallpapers stitched from your worst 3am thought.

Full bloom

A mural on your wall. Nails sharp enough to bite. A memorial for the one who never left your side.

By nightfall

She reads every request — and she can say no. Not every bloom is meant for every hand.

And when it's done

It's done. No refunds past the first 24 hours. Beauty doesn't go back in the bud.

Who's behind the ghost

About DarlingGhost

DarlingGhost draws in the dark — literally and otherwise. Every piece starts as a conversation, not a template: your reference, your story, her linework laid over it. She works across mediums — ink, paint, fabric, walls — but the throughline is always the same: dark romance, gothic detail, and roses that mean something.

She's based in Bushwick, Brooklyn, works commission-only, and reads every single request herself. Exotic — her partner, who keeps watch when she's working in person — comes along for mural and delivery jobs.

How a commission happens

Five steps, in order.

There's no skipping ahead. This is the order everyone goes through — deposit, waiver, and all.

I.

Fill out the commission form

Tell DarlingGhost everything: piece type, references, budget range, and deadline. This is the only way to reach her directly.

II.

Wait for review

She reads every request herself. She can deny any commission, for any reason, and she will if it isn't a fit.

III.

Pay the 20% deposit

Non-refundable after 24 hours. This locks your place in the queue and starts the work.

IV.

Work begins

Progress updates come through as the piece takes shape. Revisions follow whatever was agreed in your quote.

V.

Delivery

Digital pieces are sent directly. Physical pieces, murals, and press-ons carry a delivery fee, quoted before final payment.

Read this before you commit

Policies & fees.

Not fine print — this is the whole print. Everything here is disclosed up front so nothing is a surprise later.

20% Deposit

A 20% non-refundable-after-24-hours deposit is required to begin any commission. It secures your place in the queue.

Delivery Fee

Physical art, murals, and press-on sets carry a delivery or travel fee, calculated by size and distance and quoted before you pay.

Cancellation Fee

Cancelling after work has started incurs a fee based on hours already logged on your piece. You'll be told the amount before it's charged.

Right to Refuse

DarlingGhost can deny, pause, or cancel any commission, at any stage, at her discretion. This includes after a deposit is paid.

24-Hour Window

Full deposit refunds are available only within 24 hours of payment. After that window closes, it closes for good.

Not Liable

Once work has begun, Darling Designs is not responsible for your decision to back out, disappear, or any circumstance on your end.

In plain terms

No refunds. We mean it.

Past the first 24 hours, every sale is final — no exceptions, no chicken-outs, no "something came up." Read the policies above before you pay the deposit, not after.

Before you speak to DarlingGhost.

This form is the door. It's the only way requests reach her — no DMs, no walk-ins, no "quick question first." Fill it out completely; half-finished requests get ghosted. (Pun intended.)

Once she's read it, she'll reach out to move forward, ask for more detail, or decline. All three are possible, and all three are final.

See her portfolio on Instagram — @_dghostheart19 before you fill this out, so you know her style and can reference specific pieces.

DarlingGhost — owner & artist, Darling Designs.

Exotic — her partner, keeping watch on in-person work.

Based in Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY.

Now, tell her everything

Vague requests are the #1 reason a commission gets declined. Say too much, not too little.
Straight from your camera roll — screenshots, photos, a short clip. 10MB combined limit.

Everything you submit here — including any photos or video — goes directly to DarlingGhost by email. It isn't stored anywhere else, sold, or shared, and it's only used to work on your commission.

She reads these in order. No refunds for changing your mind before she even replies, either.

Sent into the dark. DarlingGhost will reach out if it's a match.
