Terms of Service

Client Agreements

It is expected as a client that you review these terms, and by commissioning me you are agreeing to these terms of service and held liable for any breach thereof. 

Every term listed in this Terms of Service may be subject to change or adjustment. All clients are required to check for these changes. I am not liable for sudden changes without notice. 

Any statement made here is for general application and may be subject to change for practical application and/or for new or adjusted terms discussed with myself, the artist, prior to commission. (a.k.a. alternate terms to those listed here can be discussed with me). 

I may choose to decline or cancel a commission at any time. 

Harassment, blackmail, or guilt-tripping of any form is not tolerated. Period. 

Please see refunds for more information on how they work. 

I am no way required to inform any of my clients of the reason for cancellation, and am in my own discretion to do so if I see fit. (I am typically very open about discussion). 

Commission Requests

When making a commission request, please describe what you would like in as clear and nice manner. 

I am doing you a service but I will not accept commissions from someone who is rude or pushy. 

When providing character references (if applicable) please ensure they are clear and neat, otherwise, I will have trouble drawing them. Refrain from sending me blurry or messy references. 

If are commissioning a design or custom, please be as specific as possible with what you want or provide me with a mood board, series of images, or a collage as reference. 

At any point, I may request legitimate proof of character or design ownership. 

If you cannot provide such evidence, your commission will be immediately cancelled and you will be blacklisted for theft and breach of terms. 

This does not apply to commissions intended as gifts, but I may ask for you to identify the owner of the character in question. 

You may only request major pose or composition changes during the sketch phase. 

You may request additions to a commission at any point. 

Major additions are subject to an extra charge. 

This does not include major pose or composition changes. 

These may include but are not limited to; adding clothing items, a change in colour pallet, adjusting character design, adding or removing markings, changing hairstyle, adding a physical feature (i.e. an eye, spikes), etc.

Client Cancellation

You may request to cancel the commission at any time prior to me starting the commission or during the sketch phase, unless the commission is for any piece of artwork that constitutes a legitimate exception to this. (i.e. a sketch commission cannot be cancelled if started.)

Customs or designs can be cancelled at any time, but I maintain rights to use, sell, or retain the design as I see fit. 

Please refer to the Refund Policy for further information. 

I will contact you directly for further discussion, information, or with questions or concerns. 

When to contact me:

• When you have questions or concerns

• If you would like to see progress

• To make a request of any kind

If it seems like I have forgotten or neglected to respond to you, please shoot me a reminder message or email and I will get back to you as soon as I can. 

Timeline, Progress, and Completion

Accepted commissions will be on hold until payment is completely received. I will not start a commission without full payment. This does not apply to commissions with payment plans. 

Commissions are completed by order of payment received, although this may fluctuate due to complexity and how often I work on it (I have a job outside of creating art). I will always provide notice or updates regarding timeline issues. 

I will provide the sketch for review before continuing. 

You may choose for me to provide regular process updates and/or photos. 

Process updates are always provided when there are major delays in completion. 

Finished commissions are provided in jpeg format (unless requested otherwise). I can also provide an additional image of the standalone completed background or the character without the background if requested. 

Breach of Policy

Breach of these terms of service or the policy contained therein will be considered a  voluntary surrender of all rights to artwork, designs, or characters you have received from myself, the artist, at any time past or present. 

Breach of these terms of service or policy contained therein may result in legal action taken by myself, the artist. 

All breaches of policy result in blacklisting and public warning posts on all social media platforms, including this website. Few exceptions do apply. 

No refund is ever rewarded to any client, person, or business that infringes upon this policy. 

All copyrighted artwork surrendered to myself through breach of policy is subject to be sold to any new buyer or to be used for any purpose that I, the artist, see fit.
