Terms of Service

Intro & Communication

If you are paying for my services, it is assumed that you have read and agree to the entirety of my terms of service, as seen on this page. 

I have the ability and skillset to draw nearly anything a commissioner can come up with. However, I always prefer to discuss and quote out the content if the subject matter is new to me. 

​

Have your information ready to go for your commission. The more information you have for me in the beginning, the less edits and changes we’ll have to go through later. 

​

My working hours are weekdays between 10am-5pm EST. I do not work on weekends and am not available to reply about commission questions/requests during that time or after hours. 

​

All communication needs to be prompt. You understand that good timely communication is important, and without timely responses, my process will be slowed down. I work on multiple commissions at a time, and I will generally go back and forth between pieces to make the best use of my time, so if I do not receive timely responses, I will often switch over and work on another piece. Communication should also be friendly, professional and respectful at all times.

​

I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, and to refuse to accept a commission for any reason. These Terms of Service are subject to change at any time.

​

You are commissioning me for MY style. Please, do not ask me to draw like anyone else. Please trust my judgement, I have the right to decline any edits that I feel is not following the parameters of my illustration style.

Payments & Refunds

USD commissions are accepted via PayPal only. You do not need a paypal account to purchase, however by commissioning me, you agree to be of legal age (18 Years or Older) to utilize PayPal services. 

I send invoices for commissions over PayPal and the payment must be paid in full before your comm is started. If you need to discuss/negotiate your invoice, do so before sending payment to allow for edits. 

​

Payment plans can be negotiated for payments over $100 USD.

​

If you fail to pay for your commission or request a termination, it will result in the contract being voided. I retain all rights to the supplied approved artwork created prior to billing and I am permitted to do with as I please. 

​

  1. If the commission has not been started and termination is requested by you, you are subject to a full refund.

  2. If work has begun, you are subject to a partial (50%) refund up to the lining and coloring stage.

  3. Beyond this stage (lining and coloring) refunds are negotiable on a circumstantial basis but a full refund is no longer permitted.

  4. If the refund is because of my own circumstances, you are subject to a full refund. 

​

Once artwork is fully paid, completed, and sent, refunds are non negotiable. All refunds are a case-by-case basis prior to artwork being completed. 

​

Edits & Deadlines

After receiving the payment in full I will aim to have your commission done within 60 days. I work in monthly Patreon shifts, but there are a few factors that can extend the deadline of your commission or result in edit fees.

If you have a deadline for your commission be sure to mention it before your payment has been sent. I cannot guarantee a deadline if we did not discuss and agree to it before I get started. 

​

You will see me posting other projects, quick jobs, or personal projects during your commission timeline. This does not mean I am not working on your commission.  By commissioning me you are agreeing to the 60 day turn around time for your finished piece. 

​

Revisions are done in the thumbnail, sketch, and potentially ink (if the change is simple) stages of a full commission. The sketch stage is the last stage where you may request the entire image be redrawn.

 

Revisions in the Inked and Colored stages will be limited to overlooked character flaws. There may be minor changes to the finished product of any commission.

​

Edits are free of charge when they are of my own omission. Any edits past the ink stage will be considered a complete image re-draw and may be subject to additional charges. Once the image has reached the coloring phase, edits are a case-by-case basis and may be subjected to fees at my discretion.

​

Rights, Legalities, and Everything Else

I retain the full copyright to the image unless otherwise specified in a signed contract. I retain the right to post images digitally and hold all reproduction rights. I may use images in my own publications offline; for example: sell prints of any images I create. 

You have the right to distribute the artwork I produce for you in digital form for non-profit personal use only unless directed otherwise in our correspondence.

 

You are not allowed to use it for commercial purposes (ex: logos, layouts, print sales, stickers, generally anything you can sell). If you wish to use my artwork for commercial reasons, you will need to purchase the rights from me for an additional fee. If you wish to purchase these rights feel free to contact me and we can work out a price.

​

Credit may not be removed off any commissioned art. Do NOT erase my signature or any character rules off of references without explicit permission from the original rule bearer.

​

If the commissioner intends to use a piece of art for any kind of commercial use, this must be discussed with me in advance, and it will have an effect on the final price due to rights-managed product licenses.

 

Commissioned work may only be used by the commissioner and is not allowed to be used by others on forums/blogs/role plays, etc without permission from the commissioner/character owner. 

​

Any art that has been produced by me is not permitted to be altered or edited without permission by anyone else; This means, if you get a sketch YOU MAY NOT color it/finish it yourself or have another artist finish it for you without my consent. If you purchase a sketch, and later decide you want it colored or finalized, please contact me.

​

I no longer take litter puppy commissions, however my rules for puppies I have created are still valid. If a litter character sells for more than double what you paid for it, then 50% of the profits will be split with me. You ONLY have to split profits with me if the characters goes for more than double what I charged you to make the litter character. This applies to characters that weren't originally sold off in an auction with the rest of their litter mates, but percentage of profits may be negotiable.
