TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Last Updated: February 1, 2023

By commissioning me, you are hereby agreeing to the following terms:

ACCEPTED CONTENT

  • ACCEPTED CONTENT for commissions includes but is not limited to: human characters and real people, “furry” characters (anthro and “feral”), animals and creatures (real or mythical), original characters, fanart, suggestive and NSFW content

  • UNACCEPTED CONTENT includes: excessive gore and body horror, “real person ships”, anything deemed a personal discomfort

  • Commissions depicting anything deemed pornographic are ONLY to be commissioned if you as a client are 18 or older, and any characters/persons depicted are also of age.

  • I have the right to refuse any commission for any reason I see fit.

  • Commissions depicting anything meant to support or incite discrimination, violence against others or animals, general hatred, or political stances will not be accepted.

  • Delivery time on commissions will vary depending on my personal schedule and/or the complexity of your commission. On average, most simple pieces (such as single character art) will normally be completed within 1-2 weeks. If you need your commission to be done by a certain date, please tell me in your initial request.

PAYMENT

  • All payment is in USD through Paypal invoices only.

  • Prices are subject to change.

  • Character prices do not include additional things such as random animals, pets, or fictional creatures (i.e. Pokemon), unless they are particularly large, complex, or there are many of them, in which case an additional quote will be given. This may vary at my discretion.

  • Complex characters, backgrounds, or scenes may receive an adjusted quote.

  • Prices are only negotiable if ordered in bulk, there are many characters, or if the request is particularly simple. I also have the right to decline a price negotiation for any reason.

  • If a total commission is below $50, payment in full will be required upfront. If a commission is $50 or more, payment may be arranged for the first half upfront, and then the second half after receiving and approving a sketch, if you are inclined to do so.

  • If I have yet to send a sketch for your commission and you wish to cancel, full refunds will be given. Please allow 3-4 days for refunds to be sent to accommodate for the time it may take for me to receive a notice and any bank transfer to process the funds back through PayPal.

  • After a sketch is sent for confirmation, the initial payment received (whether in full or half) will be considered nonrefundable. Exceptions can be made ONLY if I as the artist fail to meet any explicitly stated deadlines from the commissioner, or if I have completely failed to communicate any schedule updates, progress, or personal updates for longer than 4 weeks. However, if a sketch has already been delivered, then any refund would be no more than 75% the initial received payment, to compensate for the time spent on the art and your possession of the sketch.

  • I reserve the right to cancel a commission already in progress for any reason. If no sketch was provided, then 100% of the payment will be refunded following an artist cancellation. However, if the artist cancellation was due to a ToS infraction AND a sketch was already provided , then the refund would be no more than 75% of what was paid to compensate for the time spent on the art and your possession of the sketch.

  • You’re free to ask for any changes to your piece, and adjustments will be made for no extra cost as long as it is before we have agreed on a sketch/set of lines. Any changes after the fact MAY be subject to an additional charge, exceeding no more than $3 per change, unless they significantly alter the piece (such as a complete change in scenery), in which case negotiations will take place. Very small alterations and mistakes of my own doing will not require any sort of fee.

USE OF PRODUCT

  • Do not erase any signature, edit my work in any way (other than cropping for personal use, such as in icons, thumbnails, and banners/headers), pass my art as your own, or use it in any way to gain profit.

  • Art is to be for personal use only, and is not to be reproduced. In the case that you’d like something for commercial purposes, please mention it upon first contact, and we will work out separate pricing.

  • Any art I have created is explicitly NOT to be used for block-chain related purposes or non-fungible tokens. DMCA takedown notices will be sent to anyone using my art for such, whether or not you were the one to originally commission the art.

  • Any and all art, even if commissioned, is not to be used to train AI/ML models, or anything of the like.

  • I will be posting select commissions to my social media at my own pace and discretion unless you have specifically requested otherwise. I have the right to use any completed works in my portfolios. You are free to do what you wish with your commission so long as it remains purely for personal use, but I do ask that you provide a credit back to me if posted somewhere else online on your own terms.

  • Please remember to save your commission(s), as I cannot guarantee an original file will always be available.

Thanks!
