Terms of Service

Last Updated: December 2024

By commissioning me for custom artwork, you are agreeing to all terms of service listed below.

GENERAL INFO

  • I reserve the right to refuse a commission for any reason. This includes disrespectful behavior, which will result in an early termination of the commission.

  • By paying the Paypal Invoice sent for your commission, that will confirm agreement to these Terms of Service.

  • All commissioned art may only be utilized for personal and non-profit use.

  • All communication must happen through email. I will not accept commissions through social media direct messaging.

  • Commissions are always open and available unless otherwise noted. The only exception to this is Limited Time commissions, which I will limit the number of that style of commission taken.

  • My work cannot be utilized for AI Generation, AI Training, or NFT’s.

  • I will only accept Paypal Invoices in USD. I will not accept payment through cryptocurrency.

I will draw: OCs, Fanart, Real People, Mech/Machines, Furries, Complex Designs
I will NOT draw: NSFW, Heavy Gore/Violence, NFT’s, Fetish Art, Hateful Content (Including racism, transphobia, homophobia, and characters with Nazi/Soviet/etc. imagery or paraphernalia)

If you’re unsure if your commission falls under what I will or won’t draw, email me for clarification.

PAYMENT & FEES

  • Payment is due in full upfront.

  • Payment is done through PayPal invoice using USD. The invoice must be paid before the commission is started.

  • I will not accept payment through any forms of cryptocurrency.

  • If you do not have reference images, and rely on collections of photos or written descriptions, there will be a Design Fee, dependent on the level of detail.

  • Commissions are queued and worked on in the order received. If you would like your commission bumped to the front of the queue or completed by a specific day, there will be a Rush Fee.

  • Commissions with extreme levels of detailing may incur extra High Detail Fees (common with Mecha and machines). I will let you know if this charge applies.

  • Additional fees will be charged for excessive or major revisions (see “Revisions” below).

  • Refunds can be requested, but if the commission has been started, there will be no refund.

  • There are no fees for canceling a commission.

CLIENT OBLIGATIONS

  • Write as much detail as possible when emailing me, including type of commission, level of detail (lined/colored/etc), and character(s). I will email you back as soon as possible to proceed.

  • Please provide any requested information as well as clear reference images of character(s) and backgrounds (if applicable).

  • Carefully read through the ToS and Commission Information.

PROCESS & WORK SCHEDULE

  • As soon as your commission is confirmed, you will be added to my queue. Commissions are worked on in the order received, unless requested to be bumped up in the queue.

  • I will send a sketch for approval before continuing the commission. You are allowed any revisions of the commission at this stage.

  • All process shots of the commission will be sent through email.

  • I will do my best to get your commission to you in a timely manner, but please be aware that high detail commissions, filled queue, or real life obligations may cause delays. If there are any questions, please email me and I will get back to you as I am able.

REVISIONS

  • During the sketch phase, you are allowed to adjust the sketch as desired. I will only continue the commission once you have cleared the sketch.
