Before commissioning: I need absolutely EVERYTHING in the commission form. That means refs, your ideas, the details, everything. I need links to refs. Do NOT use Discord links as they expire within 24-48 hours. Thank you so much!

 

By commissioning me, you are agreeing to these terms below.

*** You MUST be 18 or older to commission me, regardless of what it is you are purchasing. ***
*** I have the right to refuse service to anyone without explanation. ***
*** Commissions are not first come first served.***

1. Basics:

I am not a machine. I am a human with feelings and a life outside of art. I view art commissions as a business and I will treat it as such. I will do my best to always remain professional and pleasant when working with you. Just because you commission me, does not make us friends. Please keep the commission process one of business. If a friendship comes of it, let it happen naturally and without money involved.

I can be contacted between the hours of 11pm to 6pm PST, Tuesday through Friday. I may respond at different times during the day, but it is not guaranteed.

1. Commission Process:

 

I open up 5 slots a week. These commissions will be finished the following week, one picture a day correlating with the slot you got. Slot 1 = Monday, Slot 2 = Tuesday, etc. This means if you get in and are given slot 5, your commission will be finished the following Friday, not the Friday of the week you got the slot.

 

2a. WIPs: Wips will be given only at the sketch stage. You can find more info under step 6: Wips and Edits.

2b. Finished Product: Once the WIP is given the okay, I will complete the commission in one go. There will be no further WIPs. I will not make any changes past this point unless I made a mistake. Note, if you forget to notify me of a change that needs to be made, I will not make a free change to the final piece.

1. When Ordering a Commission:

3a. Discussing Commissions and Artistic Freedom: Due to my busy life, I cannot spare anytime to discus commission back and forth. So please, when commissioning, make sure you have your idea fully fleshed out.
I will charge extra, or may refuse changes to a piece if you failed to specify.
I also enjoy artistic freedom on a piece. Feel free to keep guidelines loose if you want, but only do this if you are 100% okay with the choices I make.

3b. Commission Specifics: Please, be specific and direct as possible. You can do this by:

• Giving me a flat colored image to use as a ref (max 2). Make sure colors and markings are accurate. Avoid giving me shaded images.

• Double checking your references. Make sure there are no missing markings or inaccurate colors.

• Telling me the pose you'd like. Avoid linking art for an example. (Note, I will never directly copy someone else's art as a base for your commission! I will always alter the pose some!)

• Give me a general expression or single emotion the character is meant to be displaying. Please be sure to sum it up in a word or two.

• A small list or bullet points of details you want to see in the image. Avoid paragraphs.

• Give me reference images to help you explain your idea. A simple stick figure drawing can help a ton!

 

3c. Providing References: For your character reference, make sure you give me no more than 2 colored images to use as a reference. Make sure they are accurate before commissioning me. Do not provide me with references that does not clearly show off your character. Refs with lots of shading make it hard to select the correct colors and identify markings. I will not stitch together refs! Example: "Use the hair from this image, the markings from this one and the colors from this picture." (unless you are commissioning a reference sheet of course)

When it comes to poses, consider using stock images or provide a stick figure doodle to help convey your idea. Please do not link me art drawn by another artist and ask me to copy the poses, characters, clothing or style.

3d. Commission Information: Do not give me more information than needed. I do not need to know everything about your character, such as their personality or background story. Make sure all info given is relevant to the image I am drawing for you. Try to condense or even use bullet points instead of a paragraph. Long paragraphs are more likely to end up in confusion.

3e. Permissions: When commissioning art from me, you are agreeing to either own all the characters being used in the image or you have explicit permission to use the characters in a commission. This means you asked the person ahead of time and had them agree to the idea being drawn by myself. This is not applied to fanart so long as the character comes from popular media.

3f. Group Commissions: I do allow for multiple people to share a commission. If you choose to do a group commission, all people featured in the commission, paying or not, MUST read this TOS as well. I charge an additional 4% fee per person paying. This is to cover paypal fees. During the drawing process, I will only work with one person. I will not share WIPs with other parties involved. The person in charge of the commission is responsible for all edits and changes.

1. Payments:

4a. Paying for Your Commission: All payments are in USD and are paid through PayPal unless stated otherwise. Do NOT send me payment before we have agreed on a price. I will then send you an invoice. I always take all payment upfront. Payment is required 24 hours after and invoice has been sent. I do also accept payment in the form of vintage Pokémon cards, toys or amazon gift cards.

4b. Group Payments: See 3f. above.

4c. Tips: I accept tips through the PayPal invoice or through Ko-fi. Tips are not necessary, but they are very much appreciated. Unless we've worked together before, I advise all tips be given after you've received your finished commission through Ko-fi. This way you can decide if the work was worth a tip or not!

1. Refunds:

5a. Refunding: You may request a refund at any time. I will send a refund as soon as possible. I might be away from the computer or asleep, so please give me time to reply. Do not do a charge back! If you cancel a commission or ask for a refund more than once, I may black list you from commissioning me. If I choose to cancel the commission due to personal reasons however, I will give a full refund. If I choose to cancel the commission due to rudeness or other issues between us, I will give a refund based on how much work has been done.

5b. Refund Options: If you request a refund after I've already started, there is one of two options we might take:
I will refund you the amount calculated minus the amount of work I have already completed. You will be allowed to keep any completed work at this stage.
​I give a full refund at the sketch stage. You relinquish all rights to any WIPs given and may not reuse or post them. I will then use any unused sketches as YCHs.​

 

✨━━━━━━━━━━━🖍️ - ✨ - 🖼️━━━━━━━━━━━✨

 

1. WIPs and Edits:

6a. Works in Progress: I always give a WIP at the sketch stage. Once I've given you a WIP sketch, take a moment to process it before asking for edits. I do all edits in one go so make sure you catch any mistakes in this stage. I suggest looking over the sketch for at least 10 minutes before replying. If I need to go back and make more changes after the second round, I will be charging $5 per edit or $15 to full start from scratch with a different pose.

6b. Failing to Give Information and Needing Additional Edits: If you end up wanting a complete change in posing after you've given me the okay on WIP:
You pay an additional fee and I will redo the pose for you and you may keep the original WIP sketch.
If this happens a second time, I may issue a partial refund and cancel the commission.

1. Communication:

If you are having issues reaching me, I might be busy. Give it 24 hours or check my BlueSky as I may have posted an update there. I will always do my best to reply in under 24 hours if I am able. As mentioned before, do not contact me on other sites or on other accounts to phish for information on your commission. This includes messaging those close to me.

 

✨━━━━━━━━━━━🖍️ - ✨ - 🖼️━━━━━━━━━━━✨

 

1. Additional Fees:

8a. Additional Fees: I have the right to charge additional fees in areas as I see fit. These will be discussed before payment is received. Among these fees include ones based on difficulty. Things such as difficult/an abundance of markings, wings, many small details, etc.

8b. Alternate Versions: I do allow for an alternate version of an image within reason, but they always cost extra. Simple edits will not cost much, but large edits with quite a bit of redrawing may cost up to double the original price.

8c. Private Commissions: I am also okay with private commissions. I offer a few options, such as:

• Entirely private, I will not post your image. This costs 25% extra depending on the type of commission.

• I am free to post the commission, but I must not mention who it is for or simply do not mention it was a commission. This is free.

• Or I can edit the colors and markings of the character and post it without mentioning it was commissioned. This is free.

1. Rights:

9a. Breaking my TOS: Rights and permissions may be revoked at any time if I found you breaking my TOS. I will politely contact you about this first. If no reply is received or if you refuse to cooperate, I will work towards contacting any Mods/Admins needed as well as file a DMCA. Breaking my TOS may result in being blacklisted from future commissions as well as being blocked.

9b. My Rights: You may own the character(s) in the image, but I remain all rights to the image itself. This means unless you purchase the full rights to the image that:

• I may post the image wherever I please. Unless the commissioner pays private fees or royalties.

• I may sell art packs featuring the art with clear instructions that purchasing the pack does not include rights to the character or art. Including the ability to upload the art.

• I will not remove the image if you've had a falling out with someone in the image or do not want it public any longer. (unless a private fee is paid)

• I may use it as an example for future commissions and portfolios.

• You may not deface the image.

• You may not profit from the image.

This does not mean:

• I am claiming to own your character(s).

• That I will resell your character or the image.

• I will sell the image as prints/shirts/etc.

 

9c. Reposting: You are free to repost the image I drew for you, so long as you:
Give credit and link to my proper profile (more info below under Credits)
Link to the original if applicable.
You may /NOT/ remove or crop out my signature. Unless you are using the image as an icon.

9d. Editing My Art or Your Commission: Under no circumstance are you allowed to edit an image I have drawn for you without permission. This includes:

• Adding or removing details from the image.

• Paying someone else to edit/color/shade the image.

• Having someone use it to make a flash animation.

• Removing my signature.

• Using the image as a logo or as a way to promote yourself or your business. This also includes things such as use on streaming sites, thumbnails for videos, website graphics, etc.

If I found you have edited or misused a commission you've received from me, I may take up action with you. If you would like me to make some changes, let me know. Depending, I may make these changes for free. You or a friend are allowed to color/shade your commissioned sketch/line work, so long as it was done for free and I am still credited for the work I did.

9e. Your Rights: You are free to do what you want with your image. Such as print it out, put it on a shirt, make a sticker out of it, etc. So long as it is for your personal use only and you are not making a profit off of the art. Unless royalties are paid for.

As mentioned above, you do not own the rights to any completed work unless you pay an additional fee.
This means you may not profit from my art in any way, even if you commissioned it. This means not selling shirts, stickers or other merchandise featuring the image.
If you wish to use the image for promotion, merch or or in ways that exceed personal use, it will cost an additional, one time fee.

9f. Changing of Ownership: If you resell a character featured in a commission I drew for you, this is fine. Just please, inform the new owner of my TOS. This way they can refrain from infringing on my TOS.
