TERMS OF SERVICE

  • Commissions are for personal use only. You can display it on your personal page, make edits to it to use on your website, etc. If you are unsure of whether you can use it for something, please just ask! No one else will be allowed to use your commission unless you give them permission to, again, for personal use only.

  • Commissions for commercial purposes will come at a later time when I am able to hash out all the details, but for now I will not be taking them. This means that the artwork cannot appear on anything that will be sold.

  • The character(s) belongs to the commissioner, but as the artist I still have rights to the produced artwork to show as samples in the future (I will not be using them in any way commercially). Your commission will be watermarked when posted publicly, you will receive the unwatermarked PNG image.

  • If you are selling your rights away for the character to someone else, you cannot charge them more than what you paid me for the commission piece.

  • If you would like the commission to be private (i.e., I will not post it anywhere,) please let me know beforehand.

  • The Paypal account you are using must be your own.

  • Invoices will be sent within 24 hours of accepting your commission, please pay within 48 hours to proceed.

  • Commissions are done in the order they are placed, and will be done within two weeks (assuming the commissioner replies to the WIP in a timely manner. Estimated delivery times may be slower if you take longer to reply.) If you have a deadline please let me know ahead of time, I will let you know whether or not I can complete it by then so there will be no stress for either the commissioner or artist.

PAYMENT

100% of payment is taken upfront. if for whatever reason your payment is on hold, your commission will not be started until the payment has cleared. Paypal and credit/debit card accepted in US or Canadian Dollars.

For any reason you need a refund in the middle of the commission process, here is the following amount that will be refunded to you minus any Paypal fees:

  • Not started: 100%

  • Sketched: 75%

  • Lined: 50%

  • Flat coloured: 25%

  • Fully shaded and completed: 0% (no refunds on completed artworks)

COMMISSION PROCESS

Completion time is usually two weeks (but may be extended to three depending on complexity of character).

  • Confirm payment

  • Initial sketch sent to commissioner for approval (please request any changes at this stage, I will be open to making changes up to two time for free - additional changes after two shown WIPs will be +$10 per requested change)

  • Completed drawing and full resolution files sent to your email

You will receive a WIP at the sketch stage only, please make sure you request any changes at this time. You will not be charged extra here as this is just the preliminary part, if changes are asked later it may be more difficult and additional charges will apply. Please feel free to be as critical as you like, this commission is for you! If there are any mistakes on my part (e.g., I missed a crucial part of the design) once the commission has been completed, I will fix it free of charge. This doesn’t include for example a change of pose, as the entire image would need to be redrawn and was something that should have been specified at the sketch stage.

SENDING REFERENCE IMAGES

Please make sure your character is fully ready to draw! I unfortunately cannot accept written descriptions as these are commissions for existing characters, not character design. (You are welcome to find a picture of certain clothing you would like to see the character in online and I will draw it based on that reference image)

DO'S AND DON'T'S

As stated before I’m comfortable with doing anything that isn’t NSFW (mild NSFW is okay), I can do fan art, original characters, or real people. I can draw you from a photograph but please make sure there is a full body or multiple references with exactly how you’d like to be drawn (clothing, hair style, etc.) I can draw pets to go with characters, weapons, armour, and so fourth. If armour is too detailed some details may be simplified, you will be notified ahead of time if this need to be done.
