Rules and FAQ
TermsContact and Communication--- Work from Mon-Fri with weekends off so don’t expect responses--- If you contacted me: expect a reply within 1-3 business daysPreferred Communication & Delivery Method--- Email is preferred, but the chat features of social media sites are also permissible (Instagram, Twitter, Discord, etc.)Turnaround Time--- A commissioned work is usually completed within 1-3 weeks (depending on complexity). If it goes beyond this timeframe, the commissioner will be notified.
About Design and ReferencesHow Character Design sheets will work:1. Action/Hero pose of the character2. Simple ‘turn around’ for the character (front and back)3. Expressions of the character (happy, sad, angry, etc.)*** Commissioner will be offered 3 sketch designs to pick from for the final design which will be an additional chargeHow Compilation Pieces will work:--- The commissioner will be charged for the initial thumbnails (3) for the work in question. Then, depending on the complexity of the piece, a final price will be issued--- If the characters have no design reference, that’s an additional charge for each asset included (Character design, Weapon/Prop design, etc.)--- Once the piece is rendered, assets will be exported both together and independently from one another.*** It is preferred/highly encouraged to provide clear reference material for the commission inquiry or detailed descriptions to reduce any misinterpretations. Whether this is by a Google Doc, a folder, or a Pinterest board is alright. The more references/details provided, the easier the commission process will be for both the commissioner and the artist. If further clarification is needed, I will ask.Deliverables--- Finished commission for NON-COMMERICAL USE with watermark included--- High-resolution JPG export for print can be made upon request--- If the intention is to have the commissioned work printed, please let me know from the start of the process--- I DO NOT mail prints. Printing commissioned work will be the responsibility of the commissioner.--- PNG versions of the work can be made upon request
--- ICON exports for profile pictures or tokens can be made upon request
What I Can Do--- Characters (OCs or fanart) - My style leans towards fantasy usually--- All gender identities welcome--- Mild horror or ‘suggestive’ erotica is okay within limitations--- DND characters are very welcome!***NOTE: My art style is reasonably flexible but the commissioner WILL need to provide samples for reference if they have a preference for something. This does NOT mean I will attempt to replicate another artist’s style, especially if that other artist is taking commissions as well. Otherwise, style-replication from popular media is an additional charge depending on complexity.
What I Won’t Do--- Explicit NSFW themes/kinks/fetishes--- Excessive Gore or Violence--- Homophobic/Transphobic/Racist or other Hateful art--- Mechas, Machinery, or Vehicles
Payment--- Payments are to be issued via PayPal (Email required. PayPal account not required.)--- For most commission types, half-payment will be expected upfront. Then the second half will be expected after the completion of the commission (but not before delivery of the finished product).--- Commission Work will not start until the initial half-payment has been issued.--- For Sketch Commissions, full-payment is expected upfront before work begins.--- Commissioners will be granted the opportunity to make up to 3 revisions on a commissioned piece throughout various stages of the process. If more revisions are requested, then an additional charge will be issued for each additional revision request.------ For Sketch Commissions: 1 revision
------ For Line Art Commissions: 2 Revisions
------ For Flat/Full-Color Commissions: 3 RevisionsRefunds--- Sketch commission payments are non-refundable--- The initial half-payment for ANY OTHER commissioned work is non-refundable. However, the commissioner is entitled to AT LEAST the sketched vision of the commissioned work with the expectation that they WILL NOT take the sketch to another artist (a watermark will be applied to the artwork).--- Understand that art commissions are a luxury commodity so please consider your personal financial circumstances before starting the commission process. Please keep things professional and considerate.--- Exceptions:------ If the commissioner does not follow the terms laid out here then a refund will be issued, but no artwork will be delivered.------ If a commissioner cannot remain professional and/or makes me uncomfortable. I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.
Usage Terms--- When commissioning me, you agree to all terms presented in the commission info, and this TOS--- As the artist, I retain full copyright of the commissioned artwork. However, I do not claim any ownership over character or other intellectual properties.--- I retain the right to upload the finished artwork in my portfolio and on my various social media (unless otherwise negotiated at the start of the commission process).Usage Rights--- Every commission completed is intended for non-commercial use but for private use only. Such use includes printing the artwork or making the artwork your profile picture.--- The client has the right to use the finished commission as a reference for further commissions done by other artists.--- It would be preferred if the client does not post the finished artwork themselves on their social media but instead shares the artwork when I post it to mine. If the client does happen to post the finished artwork, however, please credit the artist (me).Prohibited Usages--- Please don’t use the artwork for any AI generation or NFT minting.--- Please don’t use the artwork to promote anything you intend to sell or publish.--- Please do not alter the artwork in any way after the completion of the commission.--- Please do not claim the artwork as your own.--- Non-commercial usage of the artwork is for the intention that the artwork will not be turned for a profit later after completion.
