Process
Payment is REQUIRED up front! Any forced refund or cancellation of payment during the commission process will result in an immediate blacklist post as well as an immediate halt in progress (if any) on your piece.
A clear reference must be provided to guarantee the accuracy of your character in my work! I have the right to refuse your commission without a clear reference or description!
If problems arise with your commission due to a reference issue you may be subject to a fee.
You may ask for a WIP (Work in Progress) at any point!
The sketch, lineart, and flat color stages will be sent to you for approval before continuing on to further steps. I cannot continue in my process until it has been approved by the commissioner.
Minimal changes will be allowed after the sketch and lineart stages, so please don’t be afraid to let me know of any issues there are within those stages!
The full image will be emailed to you after I have completed it and all changes and final details have been approved by you, the commissioner!
You are not allowed to remove my watermark!
~
Refunds/Disputes
Refunds will not be made unless the commission wasn't completed in a timely manner (less than 6 months depending) or I decide the commission was out of my artistic capabilities.
I as the artist also have the right to refuse any commission for any reason (This can include harassment or inappropriate behavior of any kind!)
Large changes and changes after 3 minimal changes will require an extra fee!
~
Completion Time
My average completion time for commissions can be anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks depending on the size of the commission, health, work, and unforeseen complications.
If the commission has taken more than 6 months to complete (without any work in progress) you are eligible for a refund.
If you have been shown work in progress on your commission, you may be eligible for an upgrade (Example: Bust to Halfbody) first, before a partial or full refund is considered. This is due to the fact that a portion of your commission has been completed!
~
Copyright/Usage Policy
I AM allowed to use the copyrighted artwork to:
- Promote, Publish, Post, Advertise
- To any site or any vendorship opportunity I deem necessary!
I AM NOT however, allowed to:
- Claim the character/story as my own!
