Terms of Service

1) Prices: Listed prices are bases, not absolutes, and are subject to change based on complexity. The artist will tell you before any sketching begins if there will be an additional cost.2) References: Visual references will be provided by the commissioner. Please make note of any alterations you want to the design if your reference is not completely accurate or up-to-date! Once this has been done, a preliminary quote will be provided by the artist.
2a) Written references may be taken in lieu of visual ones, for an additional fee.3) Payment: Payment is required upfront, once the artist accepts the commission; work will not begin until payment is done. Paypal is preferred, but please ask if Paypal does not work for you! We can probably work something out.4) Alterations: one (1) full sketch revision (completely changing the pose, outfit, and/or backdrop of the sketch) OR up to two (2) minor sketch revisions (small changes such as altering the character’s eye shape or size, adding or removing claws, etc.) may be requested during the sketch phase only free-of-charge. One (1) full lighting revision (completely changing the light source/direction) OR up to two (2) color revisions (alterations to the hue, saturation, or brightness of the light/shadow) may be requested free-of-charge during the lighting phase only. Any additional alterations will require additional fees.5) Refunds: As long as the commission has not been started by the artist, a full refund (minus any Paypal transaction fees) may be done. If a refund is requested after the commission has been started, the refund will be sent based on what work was completed.6) Re-Posting: Permission is granted for commissioners to post works (commissions, gift art, fan art) in which your character/characters have appeared. You may not redistribute any high resolution or unsigned version of the artwork. You may not sell the commissioned piece. You may print the artwork for personal use (not selling). You can upload to your personal website or gallery, but credit is required, as well as a link back to the artist’s FA site.7) Editing: Please do not edit the image in any way that removes the artist’s signature from the image. If you need a cropped version (e.g. for an icon), please let me know and I will be happy to do that for you.8) Rights: By default, the artist retains all rights to the artwork (displaying the work online and in portfolios, streaming work progress, etc.). Rights may be discussed and altered before payment if the commissioner wishes, for a fee.9) Re-use: The artist may use work rejected by the commissioner for display, personal use, or other commissions.10) Consent: The commissioner must read, understand and agree to all the above before entering into an agreement with the artist.
