​

TOS AGREEMENT

By commissioning me, you are acknowledging that you have read and fully understand my terms of service.  My terms of service act as a contract between me (the artist) and you (the client/commissioner), and any forms of contact pertaining to your commission are also part of that agreement (emails, DMs, notes, etc.).  Failure to read or acknowledge my terms of service may result in the rejection or cancellation of your commission.  Commissioning me signifies that you are at least 18 years or older/a legal adult, or that the account holder of the person paying for the commission is at least 18 years old/a legal adult, and is aware of the commission being placed.

 

 

​

CASE-BY-CASE BASIS

• Cartoon versions of real people (very selective; having a cartoon ref handy is a plus)

  • I don't prefer to draw cartoon versions of celebrities, entertainment personalities, or non-acquaintances  because I believe there are other artists more specialized and willing to draw caricatures than I am.  I will draw cartoon versions of people, but I prefer to reserve this option for close friends/mutuals, and it is heavily preferred that you have prior art/commissions of your likeliness done (either by yourself or another artist) so I have a better understanding how you like to present yourself (photos work fine, too).  I will NOT draw cartoon versions of real people based solely on descriptions.

• N$FW ("Not $afe for Work") (must be 18+; very selective)"

  • Please email me for details if you'd like to purchase a NSFW commission (Note: that commissioning me for a N$FW commission signifies that you are at least 18+ years of age)

  • Click here for N$FW Terms of Service

• Characters from books or movies (will be drawn in my style)"

  • I will draw characters from movies and books, but they will be interpreted in my style rather than copied from their original sources.

​

​

PRIVACY

• In the case of shipping, I do not share your name, address or other personal information with any third party or persons; it is for personal use so I may ship your order as efficiently as possible.

• You may request that your commission/trade be kept private/not posted to any of my galleries or social media sites

• Regarding N$FW commission and privacy:

  • N$FW commissions are not shown online (neither on my public social media or my uncensored Patreon) unless the client gives me permission

  • If posted online (outside of Patreon), and with permission from the client, N$FW commissions are posted publicly as cropped and/or censored images

  • This applies to all commissions, but you're welcome to request a N$FW commission from me and for it be kept completely private (i.e. will not be posted on my public social media sites, nor on my Patreon, nor listed in my public Trello; the commission will be shared to the client, only, via email and will be shipped discreetly).

​

​

SHIPPING

• All prices include US shipping.

• I charge extra for International shipping; prices vary depending on image size.

• All commissions must be shipped; this helps remove clutter on my end.

• I am not responsible for images once they are in the mail.

• All commissions include tracking numbers, sent via the email attached to your Paypal

• Commissions are shipped First-Class (usually via USPS)

​

TIMEFRAME

• There is no timeframe for commission completion, though I try to keep turnaround time down to 1-3 weeks for simpler pieces, and 3 weeks to 1 month for more complex ones; if you would like your commission finished sooner than later or by a certain deadline, please let me know and we will discuss it.

 

 

REVISIONS

• Regardless if the commission will be finished in pencil or pen and/or colored, I will give you an update on your commission after I complete an approval sketch, at which time you should let me know of any revisions or details you would like me to edit or change.​  Once the approval sketch is sent, I will allow (2) revisions without an extra charge.  Any major changes after that will be charged extra.

  • Minor changes, such as expression changes, or the additional of small accessories or details, will not be charged​

  • Major changes can include, but are not limited to: pose changes, extreme expression changes, request for the addition of details that weren't previously discussed such as wings, etc. and will be charged accordingly.

  • Major (and some minor) revisions cannot be made after a commission has been inked (drawn with permanent pen ink)

• Please give me as many details and be as specific as possible when ordering a commission/trade, otherwise you're giving me artistic license to interpret your idea as I see fit.

• I do not accept commissions/trades without some form of clear reference image.

• Please Note: I am a traditional artist (meaning I draw on physical paper with physical media), therefore my commission sketches are super light so I can easily make any adjustments.  When sending commissions for approval, I will sometimes alter the color of the background or contrast -- this will make the sketch look like dark lines on a grey or sometimes blueish background -- this is just so the sketch is easier to see; all commissions are done on white paper.

 

 

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

• In the rare instance where I cannot complete your commission for any reason, I will offer a full refund.

• Commissions cancelled by the sketching stage will be issued a full refund; other cancellations will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

 

 

OPEN/CLOSED STATUS

• Even if I'm listed as closed for commissions, I sometimes take sporadic orders, so feel free to ask me for a quote at any time.

• I do not have a waiting list.

 

 

DAMAGE POLICY

• Commissions are my responsibility prior to being sent in the mail and are no longer my responsibility once they are sent.

• To prevent smudging, I spray all of my commissions with final gloss fixative.

• Commissions are placed in plastic sleeves and shipped in cardboard photo mailers to prevent bending.

​​

​

RIGHTS

• As the artist, I have the right to:

  • display or use my art--including commissions and trades--as I choose, including putting finished images in my online galleries, social media outlets and using them in my portfolio (you may request to keep your commission/trade private)

  • reject any commission/trade for any reason

​

• As the commissioner, you have the right to:

  • request I keep your commission/trade private (meaning the image would be emailed and shared only with you)

  • give it to someone else as a gift

  • display your commission/trade on your website, blog or social media (as long as credit is given to me as the original artist and/or you do not remove my signature)

  • print your commission/trade as a print or poster for personal use only

  • edit, recolor or alter it for personal use only

​

• What you cannot do with you commission/trade/art:

  • Reproduce or sell the image or part of it as prints

  • Claim the image or part of it as your own artistic work

  • Copy/trace the image or part of it and claim it as your own

​

• For character designs:​

  • If I draw or design a character for you (for example, if you want me to draw something vague like a "pink dog" but give me artistic license to decide the breed or markings), you're welcome to use that character however you like, including using the design for commercial use (commission art from other artists; use the design in a project or comic, etc.), but you're not allowed to use the art, specifically, I created for that design for commercial use​.

​

• Miscellaneous Rights:

  • You are allowed to request commissions involving other people's characters/OCs/fursonas, but I will always ask the original artist if this is okay first.  Please let me know if your commission is for a friend/significant other/other person as a gift or surprise and we will discuss it.

  • I may use commissions as portfolio pieces or examples of my work, but I will never sell or duplicate your commission for prints or any other merchandise.

​

​

IN REGARDS TO NFTs, BITCOIN, & CRYPTOCURRENCY

• I will NOT accept NFTs, bitcoin, cryptocurrency, or any other virtual currency as a form of payment for any of my art (commissions, prints, etc.); any invoices paid with bitcoin or cryptocurrency will be refunded immediately, and if the payment wasn't accidental, you will be blocked from ordering a commission from me in the future.

• This artist does not deal with, exchange, purchase or grant permission for their art to be used for NFTs
