Overview

Reading the Terms of Service is required for commissioning me, as it protects you as the client and me as the creator.

1.1 Client Requirements

Client must be above the legal age (18)
All references must be provided before the commission starts. I work from visual references (art ref, google images, screenshots etc) but additional description is welcome too.
If you want a game character drawn, include references with the correct outfit in good lighting. Linking armory and telling me armor set names help a lot for referencing.
Read the Terms of Service in full.
When the commission is completed, post only the watermarked version online.

1.2 Rights

All rights and ownership of the artwork remain with the artist unless agreed otherwise. Rights, licences and ownership can be purchased at additional cost. The intended use of the artwork will impact how much the rights will cost.
The commissioned artwork is for personal use only.
You cannot alter, modify, distribute or use it for commercial purposes. This includes but is not limited to: selling the artwork in any way shape or form, using the artwork as a business logo, using the artwork to promote your business/book/website etc.
Limited usage licence is given to the client - I draw this for you to cherish, use as your social media avatar, put on your OC pages and print out and hang it up on your room.
Minor changes such as cropping or adding text are allowed.
If you wish to post a commission from me in a gallery, you have to credit me.
I have the right to alter, modify and post the illustration on social media, patreon, sell it in my shops, create merchandise, etc. unless agreed otherwise.
Under no circumstances will the client ever, without purchasing rights and declaring intention, turn my artwork or any artwork produced for them into NFT.

2.1 Payment and Prices

I only accept payment via Paypal.
When the order is made, an invoice will be sent to the email given on order form.
I will not start working on the commission until payment is received.
Tips are very welcome!
Full payment is due before work begins.
All transactions will be in USD.

2.2 Refund

80% of your payment will be refunded if I haven’t started on your commission.
50% of your payment will be refunded after I have started on your commission.
No refunds after I begin the color stage of the artwork.

3.1 Technical Information/Drawing Process

You will receive two digital images of the finished painting. One high resolution, and one lower resolution version for posting online.
My default canvas is 4000x3000 px and 600dpi.
I will send you images to be approved throughout the process; sketch, lines, color. After each approval, corrections cannot be made on the previous stage.
Average turnaround time from sketch to finish is 3-4 weeks (but can get longer. If you have a date you need it finished by, tell me)

3.2 What I WILL Draw

Fanart and Original Characters. If you want someone else’s original character you must show me proof of their permission, or have them contact me giving you permission.
NSFW/Not Safe For Work (nudity, sex)
Any gender or sexual or romantic orientation
Any body type

3.4 What I Will NOT Draw

Gore, Vore, Guro, graphic injuries
Rape, sexual assault
Underage characters(or characters that appear underage) in sexual situations
Monsters, most furries
Landscapes or detailed backgrounds (simple BGs okay)

3.2 Corrections/Revisions

Corrections can be done at each stage until that stage is approved.
Small changes, ie: adjusting eye size, nose or lip placement, are free. Larger adjustments such as changing clothing or armor will incur a charge. That charge will change based on the amount of time it takes to redraw the clothing or armor.
Please keep in mind that I am human, and do make mistakes. If I missed a detail or didn’t interpret your words correctly, please let me know. I will happily fix it.

4.1 Last But not Least

All articles of this Terms of Service are applicable unless specifically outlined within the final written agreement between Client and Artist. By accepting and paying the invoice, you are confirming that you have read and understand and agree to the Terms of Service expressed above.
