Guidelines, Costs, Etc.
13 years ago
The following are some definitions, descriptions, guidelines, and prices for my artwork. As a disclaimer, please bear the following in mind:
1. Things get busy or hectic. Unless otherwise stated, any deadlines (expected completion times) are approximate and are not binding. If I am behind, I will notify you to the best of my ability.
2. All artwork is done under standard creative license. While the art is yours (as in, done for you), it is not yours to claim as your own artistry or to re-sell as the copyrighted owner.
3. Any restrictions, rules, or other assorted things that I place upon my artwork is not intended to discriminate to any audience. There's stuff I won't draw/write. Enough said.
4. I will always act in a cordial, friendly, or professional manner. I expect the same from my customers (this includes requesters and trades), and any misconduct may be grounds for dismissal of the artwork.
5. Refunds are dependent upon the size, detail, and amount of work already put into a commission, as well as any minor pieces already produced or received (ex. line art, sketch work, etc.). You don't eat three-quarters of a steak, then complain about it. Don't do it with my artwork.
6. These rules and disclaimers (above and below) are subject to change. You do not want to be the person that I have to make a rule because of.
7. By taking a commission, request, or trade with me, you accept and affirm the rules and guidelines herein.
Many of these rules, descriptions, et cetera, may have holes in them. If you are confused or have questions about the above disclaimers or the items below, please ask. I don't bite... much. ;3
Basic Descriptions and Definitions
Commission
A commission is a piece of artwork or literature that is done for a monetary price. For my artwork, they will generally have greater detail and/or have special circumstances made available for them.
Deadline
Any given or agreed-upon timeframe, approximate or exact, in which a given piece may be completed.
Request
A request is a non-paid piece of artwork or literature. The complexity is completely under my own jurisdiction (if I find it interesting, I may put in more effort), as are any deadlines. There are only three (3) request slots, viewable in my profile info.
Slot/Package
A slot is a reserved space for a single piece of artwork or literature. Conversely, a package is a mass-series of images/stories made for a single client.
Trade
A trade is essentially a two-way request, although a greater level of attention can be expected in terms of detail or effort. Items to be traded must be mutually agreed upon beforehand.
Rules and Guidelines
1. You may only have one open request slot at a time, and only if one is available.
2. Commissions can not include publicly trademarked characters. (ex. Star Fox)
3. Commissions can not include any persons not directly involved in or approving of their image being drawn. (ex. your girl/boyfriend = ok; Arnold Schwarzenegger = not ok, unless he is the one commissioning me)
4. When making any of the three requisitions above, please do your best to maintain contact. This can be as simple as letting me know you received my last message about [insert reason here].
5. I WILL NOT DRAW:
-vore
-m/m pornography or sexual pieces
-phallic (that is to say: penis) transformation (ex. an actual head appearing at the tip)
-'watersports', fecal, or other similar sexual practices

"I would like 15 to 20 pages").
Thank you for taking the time to read through all of this. As stated earlier, if you have a question: ask it! You never know what you might find or even get out of it.
