ToS updated as of April 16th, 2026
Commissions
Payment is not required until the sketch for the piece is finished.
I offer full refunds before the sketch is finished, and half refunds after the sketch phase.
If the client asks for a refund, the client will not receive the commissioned artwork regardless of the stage of completion.
I do not offer refunds if the piece is already finished or near completion .
The Client will not be refunded if they are unsatisfied with the commission, but minor edits can be made. Major revisions should be addressed during the sketch stage.
I have the right to deny any service.
Custom characters
If you decide you don't like the character I have created, I hold the right to finish and sell the design as an adopt .
(some situations such as redesigns or heavily personalized characters can be an exception to this)
I prefer to use a lot of artistic freedom, but I'm more than willing to follow thorough descriptions as well.
Image Rights/Use
Art commissions made by myself are not to be used commercially in any way unless discussed with me beforehand.
Commissions for commercial use will be charged more than personal/ non-commercial commissions. Prices are negotiable.
Client may make minor edits to the completed commission (ex. Cropping, Adding text/ borders, Changing Brightness/ Contrast/ Hue/ Saturation).
Offering on adopts
Payment must be sent within 24 hours.
I will hold an adopt for AB (Auto Buy) price only.
Holds last for a maximum of 25 days.
Payment plans are offered for adopts/designs if they exceed $100.
Do not sell my designs for more than they are purchased for.
(added art does add value, and your own art counts as well)
When offering art, please specify how much/what you are offering.
I hold the right to deny selling a character to anyone.
My designs
My designs are allowed to be redesigned, as long as elements of the original design remain present.
Some closed species have a way of "overhauling" or scrapping the original design to use the slot again. My closed species designs are NOT overhaulable, I do not allow the scrapping of an original design.
Some Species have a voiding process, I (Icystar626) do allow voiding of characters CS form(s) you are welcome to either DM me or use this as part of any required permission.
General terms of service
Payment is accepted only through Paypal.
Credit back to me, the artist (@Icystar626), when reposting finished commissions.
Do not claim credit of my art/designs as your own.
Do not copy, heavily reference, or trace any of my art or designs.
I hold the right to post any finished commissions on any social media unless otherwise requested by the client to keep the commission private.

I'll keep the reasons for blacklisting vague, don't go after these people, I do not condone harassment.
obviously some reasons for blacklist are more severe than others, but the terms of service regarding blacklisting remains the same.
PhantomAnimations: Manipulation and lying
OmniDad: Unjust blocking
Tel0din: CS drama
ReRe / LittleShinyPiplup: Various issues
Kunmao: Abuse/manipulation towards friends and CS staff
SnowDraws: Posting public false slander
Blacklisted users are not allowed to receive designs made by me by any means. This includes, but is not limited to trades, sales, and gifts. Users discovered having given a design originally made by myself to a blacklisted user will also be blacklisted.
I will not accept commissions or requests from blacklisted users.
Blacklisted users do not get blocked on any platform unless it becomes a problem. I do not like having to block people off entirely. If for any reason you feel being blacklisted is unjustified, I don't mind discussing it.
Art and characters owned by blacklisted users before previously blacklisted are fine, and when I refer to designs I have made, that only refers to designs I created from scratch. Characters who were not originally made by me, but were redesigned by me, do not count for this rule.
