TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Updated 08/18/24

PAYMENT

My prices fluctuate regularly based on factors like demand, motivation, free time, and personal finances. They may change with no notice at any time.

Prices shown are only to be used as a reference. Contact me directly for an accurate quote.

I primarily accept payments through PayPal, Ko-Fi, and Etsy. There is no guarantee I can make other payment methods work but I will try if needed.

I reserve the right to refuse or cancel a commission at any time for any reason.

Do not send a payment before it is requested.

You will be asked to pay in full before I start.

Prices may vary. The ones listed are used as an average/base. Send me a message with your prompt if you would like an exact quote.

If you do not have a visual reference for your character, you will be charged a character designing fee that will vary based on the prompt given. See 5.0 - CHARACTER DESIGNS below for more details.

Refunds may be given on cancelled commissions depending on current progress. A sipmle guideline for how refund amounts are calculated are as follows. Full refunds are given to any stages that were paid for but not started. Stages that were started but not completed will be refunded a percentage of that stage based on level of completion. Refund amounts may vary.

PROCESS

The drawing and check-in process will occur in stages: rough, cleaning/coloring, and shading. Not all commissions require all stages.

The rough stage is defined as a sketchy rendering of your character(s).

The cleaning stage is defined as a clean-lined and clean-colored render of your character(s).

The shading stage is defined as a colored and shaded rendering of your character(s).

After each stage, I will send a work-in-progress (WIP) image to check in and make sure the piece is turning out how you want. I will make a maximum of 5 small changes after each stage. If the commissioner has approved a stage or if 5 small changes have been made to that stage, that aspect of the drawing will not be revised in future stages.

You may ask for updates and progress screenshots at any time, even outside of the automatic check-ins I perform.

Redlining (the act of drawing over an image for correction/demonstration purposes) my WIP images is encouraged. Providing any outside supplemental images is also encouraged to give me the best idea of what you are looking for.

WHAT I CAN AND CAN NOT DO

I will attempt most species. For bipedal non-human characters, I will draw the character's legs consistent with the reference unless otherwise requested (such as digitigrade, plantigrade, etc.) or I'll choose if neither are supplied.

I will not copy other people's or company's art styles outside of eyes occasionally or other specific circumstances.

I reserve the right to display my work anywhere and in any way at any stage of the process unless otherwise discussed.

I am an adult and I will take on not-safe-for-work (NSFW)/18+/explicit commissions from adults only. There will be an upcharge based on the severity of the content. A specific guideline for this is still in the works so ask me directly for a proper quote.

You may ask if I can do anything that is not covered in this TOS.

WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN NOT DO

You may edit work of mine that you own in any manner you see fit so long as the watermark or signature remains intact and completely visible.

If you did not buy it or if it does not otherwise belong to you, do not edit it!

Do not claim it to be your own work outside of any edits you make.

You may not use any of my work commercially unless terms have already been discussed and agreed upon.

You may re-post my work anywhere as long as proper credit is given. Linking back to the original post and/or artist somewhere in the description or on the image itself is encouraged but not necessary.

CHARACTER DESIGNS

All of the above terms still apply to character designs unless otherwise specified below (excluding 6.0 - PREMADE BASES). Read them before continuing if you haven’t already.

You may edit the design in any way you like so long as I am still credited for the original version.

You may sell/trade/gift the design for whatever you see fit. While I’d hate to see someone resell my designs for a higher price, I can’t stop them, so all I can do is ask you politely that you don’t do that.

If you find later you do not want the character anymore, you can return them to me. I may, (not guaranteed), give you a partial or full refund based on how long it has been since purchasing and how much the design has been used.

PREMADE BASES

All of the above terms (excluding 5.0 - CHARACTER DESIGNS) still apply to premade bases unless otherwise specified below. Read them before continuing if you haven’t already.

Do not redistribute the raw files of pay-to-use bases to anybody else for any reason, even if they claim to have purchased it already. They can message me if they are having issues with their purchase.

Do not use my bases for “basefill commissions,” where a person sends another person money to color in a base they do not own.

You can also commission me to fill in any of my bases. Send me a message for a quote.

You may make and sell adoptables with my bases as long as you aren’t violating 6.2 (see above).

When sharing what you made with a base, you must also link back to the original post somewhere in your message or description.
