TERMS OF SERVICE


♡ I. GENERAL INFORMATION

  1. I, as the artist, reserve the right to refuse any commission I do not feel comfortable with.

  2. Standard delivery time stands at 3 weeks, up to 2 months. It relies and may increase depending on the complexity of your order (flat colored commissions usually take 2 to 3 weeks on average, while fully rendered illustrations often take 1 to 4 months, for example) and my current queue, taking into account that sometimes I may need to rest my hand due to health related issues. Any major delays will be notified.

  3. For express delivery time of 2 weeks, a rush fee of + 50% is available. For delivery time of 1 week, the fee increases to + 70%. For delivery time of 24 to 48 hours -only available for sketches and some flat colored orders-, the fee increases to + 100%.

  4. If the status of my commissions is "running slow", it means I am currently taking orders, but probably will take longer to complete your commission due to personal matters. By ordering a commission in this status, I take you are aware of this and will not rush me.

  5. You may cancel your request at any time before or after the sketch stage if you still haven't paid - though keep in mind that if you have, no refunds will be made (see II - E). Any unused base sketches may be repurposed for other commissions in that case.

  6. All prices listed are merely a starting/base price. Prices may increase, stay the same, or even decrease depending on, including but not limited to, the complexity of your character's design, concept, and/or desired deadline.

  7. I may reply within a ~48 hour timeframe, with less than 12 hours being the standard. If I take more than a couple hours to reply, by no means does this mean I’m ghosting you. I’m a busy person, but try my best to reply as quickly as I can. If needed, please feel free to double ping me, as notifications on sites like FB Messenger and Toyhouse may slip from me sometimes.

  8. If you, as the client, stop replying to me halfway through the process for days on end without prior explanation, I will not continue working on the project until I receive an answer and will instead focus my attention on other clients and ongoing projects in the meantime. This does not mean your order will be cancelled unless you say so or if you completely ghost me.

♡ II. PAYMENT

  1. I take payment via PayPal, USD currency, via the invoice method. Any form of payment sent before I invoice you will be refunded.

  2. Payment must be sent in full upfront or after the sketch has been approved. I will not continue working further from the sketch nor send any unwatermarked previews until the payment has been completed.

  3. The customer counts with a 10-day period for the payment to be completed. After that, either a +30% fee will apply, or the commission will be cancelled in its entirety.

  4. If the customer reaches out to me before the 10 day period is due with a proper explanation regarding the delay, the commission may be paused or cancelled, no fees attached. However, if the 10 day period is due, the matter will settle with the fee, which will apply for either the current order, or if cancelled, for the customer’s next order.

  5. I do not do refunds. The only exception is if I find myself unable to complete your commission either due to skill or personal matters, in which case, you'll get a full refund.

  6. If you file a chargeback against me you will be blocked and you won't be able to purchase anything from me moving forward, adding you to my blacklist.

♡ III. COPYRIGHT: THE ARTIST'S RIGHTS

  1. The rights of each piece the artist produces belong to the artist, unless commercial rights have been bought. This means I, the artist, am allowed to:

  • Show the final product in my portfolio.

  • Show the final product in my social media.

  • Use the final product as a public commission example to promote my work.

  • Repurpose unused process work for future projects, personal or otherwise.

  1. You, as the customer, may request for your order to remain private. This means I will not post it publicly to any social media or public portfolio. However, I, as the artist, may still use it to display my skills privately. Anonimity for you as the client may be requested and will be respected as well.

  2. A request for full privacy meaning I, as the artist, won't show the commission to anyone but the client for an extended period of time (any longer than 4 months) will come with an additional confidentiality fee attached. For perpetual exclusivity, commercial rights over the piece may be purchased instead.

  3. In the specific case that commercial rights have been bought for any product(s), as the artist, I am not allowed to:

  • Sell the final product as merch.

  • Profit off of the final product in any form.

  1. If at any time I, the artist, were to break or disobey any of these clauses, you, the customer, are entitled to a full refund.

♡ IV. COPYRIGHT: THE CUSTOMER'S RIGHTS

  1. You, the customer, are allowed to use the final commissioned product for personal use in any way you wish - by which I mean, as long as you do not profit / create merch / earn money off of the final product. Personal use may include: social media profile pictures/covers, layouts, wallpapers, personal website display, social media posts, physical prints and/or products that are not for sale or distribution to any other party, etc.

  2. If you don't own the commercial rights over the final product, as the customer, you are not allowed to:

  • Sell the final product as merch.

  • Re-sell the drawing in any way.

  • Make monetary profit of the drawing in any way.

  1. Whether you've bought commercial rights over the final product or not, you, as the customer, are not, in ANY way, under ANY circumstances, allowed to:

  • Involve me, or my work, in NFT/Crypto circles. My work isn’t intended to be used, sold, and/or minted as NFTs.

  • Use my work for AI training, or uploading my work (and/or your commissioned order) into any AI service, be it for profit or merely personal entertainment.

  • Make large modifications - by which I mean anything beyond stickers, filters, color corrections, text, or very minor details, which are all okay - to the final product.

  • Claiming the final product as your creation.

  • Removing the artist's signature from the final product.

  1. If at any time you, the customer, were to break or disobey any of these clauses without reaching an agreement with me, I, the artist, am entitled to not work again with you in any way, add you to my public blacklist and, if needed, issue a DMCA takedown notice (Digital Millennium Copyright Act).

Once you, the customer, have placed your order with me, the artist, these clauses will automatically apply to both parties, even if you do not read these terms. By working in a commissioned piece with me, the artist, you, the customer, will be taken as having agreed and consented to my terms of service.

BLACKLIST

No one listed here may purchase anything from me in any way nor own my designs. A brief summary of the situation that lead them to this list will always be available publicly - if necessary, more details and proof may be provided in private. If you find yourself on this list and are willing to resolve the issue in good faith, contact me privately - if not, refrain from doing so, as then I have no interest in further interacting with you.

  • Kuromi Winslow (Facebook): Ordered two sketches, then found themselves busy with personal matters for a few weeks, putting their order on hold, which I understood. After I sent the invoice by their demand, they blocked me. Needless to say, payment was never provided.

  • deconaire/dev0deco (aka. eunbrella, Sasha, Sunny): Stalked me and heavily referenced, bordering plagiarizing, my characters, projects, and general work for months on end (all of which they admitted to doing, to me and other mutual acquaintances, via private messages).

REQUIRED INFORMATION

  1. Fully colored, visual references of your characters. I will not work with written descriptions. Quality doesn't matter - this is just for workflow ease.

  2. Lore, design, and/or personality traits I need to take into account. This can be as short or as long as you want it to be.

  3. Type of commission, along with the number of characters involved.

  4. Poses, expressions, character actions. Please have at least a vague idea of what you'd like your character doing. Please keep in mind I will work only within with the information given to me and I am not responsible for not being able to read your mind.

  5. Any additional information. Included but not limited to external links (toyhouse, artfight, refsheet), keywords/themes for the characters or piece's atmosphere, music, moodboards, etc.

  6. Desired deadline. If you don't have one, you don't need to provide it. Keep in mind that deadlines shorter than two weeks have an additional fee attached (as stipulated in my Terms of Service, I - B).


ORDERING PROCESS

  1. Contact me via Twitter, Facebook, Discord, email, or deviantART with the required information I need to start your commission.

  2. One, up to three thumbnails/rough sketches will be sent in 1-5 days after your request has been approved. You can ask up to 3 free major changes in this stage, including more pose/composition options. Any more changes and/or options desired after that will have a negotiable fee.

  3. After the sketch has been approved, I will ask for your paypal email so as to send you an invoice. I won’t continue working on your order until the full payment has been sent.

  4. After receiving the payment, I will continue working. Eventually, I will send a lineart + base color preview for you to approve. Small changes such as in color or details can be made for free in this stage.

  5. No more free major changes can be made after the lineart + base color stage. After that, the repair fee will apply. The fee starts at $5 USD, can go up to $22 USD depending of the complexity of the repairs. It can be applied at any time, multiple times during the commission process.

  6. Once all changes are approved, the commission will proceed to completion, either with rendering or cleanup, depending on the style that's being worked.

  7. Once the commission is finished, you will receive a high-resolution image (usually .png, unless requested otherwise) through dA st.ash or via email.
