Payements

  • Payement must be given before i begin the commission

  • ALL payements must be done in FULL. I no longer accept partial payements UNLESS you are someone that i trust or know personally.

  • I ONLY accept payments of money, UNLESS otherwise, and clearly stated.

  • Payements must be made via Ko-Fi, Stripe, or Paypal. I cannot use Square, Venmo, Cashapp or applepay.

  • Refusal, or failure to send the payement within 24 hours will result in the cancellation of the commission. This is strictly if you have told me that you will be sending it over to me within that time frame.

Safety and Needs

Your safety and needs

  • You must be 16 years old or over to purchase a commission, or purchase a character/design from me. (this does not apply to designs or artwork that use another form of currency to pay for the artwork/commission, such as character/art trades)

  • I will NEVER refer to you as your real name (if given or if it apears on paypal statements) unless you allow me to do so.

  • I do not have a public blacklist. Any clients that i feel unsafe towards, or are unwilling to communicate with for my own safety will be noted in a private list. Do not ask me for said list.

  • If an emergency arises on my end in which i am unable to continue the commissioned work, or am unable to complete the commission before a specific deadline, i will contact you as soon as possible to ensure that you are fully aware of everything, and to prevent any misunderstandings.

  • Communication is key. I don’t expect you to speak to me a specific way obviously, but if youre confused of something that i said, or would like me to use tone indicators, please dont be afraid to ask! I know text can be hard to fully understand and im always here to answer any questions you have. :)

My safety and needs

  • Since i use my personal paypal account, please respect my privacy. I already have names and aliases that i prefer to go by which can be found on my social bios.

  • Please keep in mind that i have certain mental/physical issues that may prevent me from doing certain tasks for long periods of time (anxiety, adhd). Meaning i may not be capable of doing commissions on a daily or hourly basis.

  • I work full-time on the side. Meaning i am unable to give daily/hourly updates. Updates will be given bi-weekly or weekly depending on the length of the commission. (Update frequency may change depending on the size/length of the commissioned artwork)

  • If i find that you are disrespecting me, pushing me, putting unecessarily short deadlines that i have not cosented to, or intend to harrass me, i have the right to cancel the commission. No exeptions.

  • If you are blocked on one or more of my accounts, i will not accept your commission request

Commissions

  • You MUST be 18+, and have proper indication in your profiles (or advise me in andvance) that you are 18 or over to commission sexual or nsfw artwork/designs from me.

  • ALL watermarks included in my artworks should remain where they are, and not removed to prevent theft or miss-credit

  • As an artist, i have full right to cancel the commission if any suspicious activities arise. This may include suspicion of theft, scam, illegal activity, lack of respect, discriminstion (this includes discrimination to me, friends, family, or a specific group of people), or danger towards my metal or physical state.

  • A refund cannot be made after the lineart stage has been completed.

  • If i find that you intend to use my work for illegal or dangerous intentions, or are trying to get me to draw something i do not consent to or am not comfortable drawing, the commission will be cancelled. (This includes NFTs, scams, politics, promotion of propaganda, or hate campaigns).

  • Unless you have mentioned to me that you intent to use the commissioned work for commercial artwork, i dont allow my work to be commercialized or used to make a profit without my consent or knowledge.

  • I must be given at least 2 weeks to complete one commissioned artwork. This however, may differ, either depending on the size, quantity, complexity of the commission or due to personal issues, so please ask beforehand.


ANIMATIONS

  • I consider gifs as animations (animated icons, sprites, pagedolls, etc), meaning that most of the terms below all count for gifs as well.

  • For animations, deadline times may vary depending on length, and/or complexity of the animation. Please inform me if you expect it to be completed in a specific time frame. Animation takes time, especially if i have to draw everything frame by frame, so please be respectful and patient.

  • It may (minimum) take up to a month for an animation commission to be completed. This is not a garanteed estimate. If you would like more imformation, please dotn be afraid to discuss time frames during the commission discssion.

  • After one scene of an animation has been made, and after the lineart stage of said scene has been completed, or if the lineart stage of a gif has been fully completed, a refund cannot be made.

COMMISSION PROCESS AND ADVICE

This will be extremely extensive, and may not be the EXACT same process for every client, but its basically how i roll when it comes to drawing/my routine schedule

  • I highly reccomend giving a visual reference (such as poses or an image. Pinterest and Unsplash are your best friend) or sketch of what you want drawn (doesnt have to be pretty, i know not everyone’s a picasso), just so we’re on the same page (Keep in mind that i will not trace the reference picture if it is not yours).

  • For art commissions, a simple sketch or image of the character or thing you want me to draw and the pose you want it in (plus any minor details that may need to be added). If you arent sure how to describe your pose and cant find any references, you can style the pose yourself via 3D pose apps/websites. Make sure its visible, and that the camera angle is in the right area, otherwise i may end up drawing it in the exact angle youve sent me.

  • If you are sending me references of a certain character youve created, please ensure that you have a fully coloured, fullbody (if needed) reference of the character in medium to high quality resolution. I may also require mouth references, accessory references, or close-ups of certain body parts if small details are included into the design.

  • Digital art references are heavily encouraged, but i may accept traditional artwork if the picture is high quality, lined and coloured (no pencil sketches), and bright enough to fully see the image (i reccomend taking a picture of the paper near the window, as phone or certain house lights (especially warmer tone ones) product larger shadows, drastically change the colours of the image, and may lower the resolution the image)

  • Do not send me other people’s art to “make something similar”, or to “draw this, but in your own style”. Im not going to steal someone else’s artwork for you.

  • When requesting pictures of your pet, please ensure that the whole body of the animal is fully visible, that the quality of the picture is good enough/isnt too blurry, or that the parts of the animal youd like included are visible in the reference (this may include paw pads/feet if needed, the tail, the tongue, eyes, collar, unique patterns, physical disabilities if you want them to be visible, etc)

Chargebacks/Refunds

  • Chargebacks and refunds will not be accepted if more than half of the commissioned work has been completed, or after it has been fully completed and sent.

  • if a chargeback has been sent to me without reason after the commission has been completed and sent over to you, i will assume that you are trying to scam me, and you will be permanently blocked and blacklisted from commissioning, or interacting with me or my content.

  • I will be heavily vigilant towards payements of 100$ and over in case of misused chargebacks. Please be aware that questions may be asked to ensure that you intend on buying from me. If you are using a parental guardian’s, or friend’s paypal account or credit/debit card, please ensure that they fully consent to the payment, otherwise a return or chargeback cannot be made.

  • - if i suspect that a chargeback scam is occuring (ex: spending large amounts of money on commissions then charging back in order to get both the artwork and money back), i have the right to refuse said request

  • Both commercial and personal use rights are fully open and allowed for designs/adopts i have sold to you. This however excludes artwork that i have drawn.

  • I will NEVER revoke or take back a character, unless you’ve directly stolen them from me or refuse to pay.

How do i Credit Artwork?

Arent sure how or where to credit artwork? Let me tell you!(By the way, i am in no way forcing you to do EXACTLY what i show you. Its more or less an act of decency/courtesy rather than a threat or demand)

If youre aiming on posting a commission someone did for you, its important to credit the artist so the people who come across it are aware of who drew it. If not, people might assume that you either drew it, or stole it from the artist!Heres some visual tips on how where exactly to put those credits when needed!
