Art Commissions - Terms of Service

Please read this Terms of Service before requesting a commission from me. When you've read this, please go here to request a commission.

Legalities

​

  • When requesting a commission, be concise, but as clear as possible.  Send as many references as you are able to, and as a general rule of thumb, a wall of images is better than a wall of text.  If you exhibit any behavior that isn’t professional, I will decline the commission. 
     

  • I accept USD (United States Dollars) [$] through PayPal transactions.  Full payment is to be accepted up front before I start any commissions.  If you are outside the U.S., please keep conversion rates or other fees in mind when commissioning me.  You are expected to be the one to convert to USD.  Although it is not required, tipping me is a very welcome gesture.
     

NFT/Blockchain/Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency Policy

 

  • It is absolutely prohibited to mint my artwork for Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).  You are not allowed to use my artwork for NFTs, to promote NFTs, etc. If you use my artwork to sell NFTs, I am legally within my right to enact a DMCA takedown, as well as any other legal measures it will take to get the NFT art theft removed.

  •  Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies are strictly prohibited as a payment method. 

  •  Anything regarding NFTs, blockchain technology, Bitcoin, crypto, etc, is forbidden by these terms of use.  Any work made by me is not permitted to be used towards the destruction of the environment.

​

AI Policy

 

  •  It is absolutely prohibited to use my art for any AI-related project.

  •  I will not agree to any project involving AI.
     

Process

 

  • I’ll do my best to give each commissioner regular updates on my progress.  I will give updates in writing and through low-res, watermarked WIPs if the piece is taking longer than normal until the piece is finished.  I’m going to communicate with you to the best of my ability to ensure I am creating exactly what you want.  I will do my best to update if something is preventing me from delivering by the due date, or for any other reason that would hinder the process.  The time that it takes to do a commission depends on the piece, but I will try not to take longer than 3 months on one piece.  Factors like how many commissions I’m taking at a time should be considered when you commission me, be sure to look at what slots are already filled!
     

Customer Satisfaction

 

  • I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure that every customer that commissions me is 100% satisfied.  After a commission is finished, ONLY MINOR CHANGES are allotted without an additional fee.  This includes but is not limited to small coloring/lining mistakes.  If you want anything significantly greater than that to be changed, it will be extra, no exceptions. This includes but is not limited to an outfit change, outfit addition or subtraction, background change, or anything that makes me have to redraw it completely.   If your reference was not clear from the start, you are not allowed minor changes without a fee.  It is detrimental that you have a clear reference and know exactly what you want when you commission me.
     

Copyright/Usage Policy

​

  • I hold all the rights to every drawing I make, not the commissioner.  This means I am allowed to use the copyrighted artwork for:

    • Promoting myself within any place or site

    • Publishing books

    • Display it anywhere to my liking.

    • Post it wherever I want
       

  • The commissioner is allowed to:

    • Use the copyrighted artwork for personal use only unless agreed otherwise

    • Print the art, and claim the right of their character(s) but not the drawing itself

    • Use the art to promote themselves with proper credit given to the artist

  • If you break the copyright infringement in any way, every right you had to the drawing will be retracted.

  • The following is considered Copyright infringement:

    • Reproducing/using the copyrighted artwork commercially. (Meaning making money off it in any way)

    • Taking Credit for the creation of the artwork.

    • Removing any watermarks/signatures. 

    • Altering the artwork without my, the artist’s, consent.

  • A Purchase of Commercial rights to the artwork will always be 300% of the original price.

    • With commercial rights, you are allowed to make any sort of merchandise with the artwork.

    • Use it in books, covers, as props, change it to your liking and promote your own brand with it.

  • Credit is still required for usage of the artwork, even if altered or edited.

  • PRIVATE COMMISSIONS ALWAYS COME WITH A 50% FEE.

    • Private commissions are commissions that are part of private projects, where both parties may need to sign an NDA.
       

Cancelling/Refund Policy

​

  • I have the right to decline or cancel and refund the money for a commission at any time.

  • You have no right to cancel or demand a refund from the artist under any circumstances after payment has been made.

  • If money has not yet been sent the commissioner has the right to cancel the commission.

  • If you file a chargeback against me, your right to everything I have ever made for you will be retracted and I have the right to sell the copyrighted artwork to new buyers.

    • You will be forbidden to ever commission me again.

    • Your name will be publicly posted everywhere I want for others to watch out for.

    • I have every right to file a complaint and I have all the right to the money you have given me.

  • Any questions and concerns should be brought to me when first requesting a commission.
