Commissions ToS (Summer 2015)
10 years ago
In contacting me, commissioners agree to all Terms of Service conditions below. Commissioners also pledge they are at least 18 years of age. If any of the below terms are not followed, or if contacted by an underage client, all commissions processes with that person will cease immediately.
To order a commission:
• If interested in a commission send me an email at damienyfel at yahoo dot com. Please include in your email where you found my artwork. Sending me an ask, fan mail, or note for your initial inquiry is also acceptable, but communications will be shifted to email after that.
• Clients should provide reference images for the commission during this point of the inquiry.
• After we've discussed all the details, I'll provide you with a price quote as well as an estimated time of delivery.
Commission Process:
• In general, sketches take three days, line arts take five, and colored images can take anywhere from a 1-2 weeks.
• Payment will be accepted only through Paypal in USD. Please do not send funds until prompted. My business email is not the same as my Paypal e-mail. Likely, I will send you a request of funds form through Paypal.
• Once payment has been paid in full, work will begin on your commission.
• Complex character designs may incur an additional fee. Such complex features include: scales, detailed armor, wings, intricate markings (tattoos, stripes, feathers)
• If requested, I will happily send you watermarked WIPs at each step of the commission progress (sketch, lines, flats, and final product).
• Upon completion, an unwater-marked, full-size png of your commission will be sent to you via email.
NOTES:
Reference Images- Clear, concise reference images must be included for all characters involved. If any images are out of date or inaccurate in any other way, please specify how. (What is not included that should be included? What is different from the reference image?) Accurate reference images and descriptions during the stage of inquiry minimize the need for revisions.
Deadlines- If there is a deadline for when the work must be done you must notify me up-front. If applicable, rush fees may be applied. Rush commissions are given priority over other commissions; otherwise, commissions are completed in order that they are received and paid for.
Revisions- Revisions can easily be made in the sketch phase, as well as MINOR revisions in the lines phase, but after that point, excessive revisions may incur an additional fee. (This does not apply to minor changes in color during the flats stage)
The Artist’s Rights:
• I reserve the right to use work from commissions in future portfolios and galleries for self-promotion. Due credit will be given to creators of an original characters depicted. Commissioners may also remain anonymous, if they so choose.
• I will NOT make future profit from images depicting a client’s original characters.
• I retain the right to refuse any commission request or cancel in-progress commissions at any time. A percentage of a refund may be given for incomplete commissions. For example, if an emergency occurs and I am unable to finish your commission, a refund of the unfinished portion of the commission may be issued to the commissioner.
The Commissioner’s Rights:
• The commissioner may use their commission for personal use ONLY. The commissioner may not use the work for personal gain or claim the commission as their own work
• Commissioners retain all rights to their characters and will not be claimed as my own.
• Commissioners may not post their commission without due credit being given to me.
• The commissioner has the right to request their commission not appear in any of my portfolios or galleries. If this is the case, they must mention this up-front at the time of the inquiry for the commission. It is likely a fee will apply, because this prevents me from promoting a piece of my artwork.
• Under no circumstances may commissioners make edits of any kind to my work. This includes, but is not limited to the removal of my signature or watermarks.
