Artist Terms of Service
Content Out of the Question
Scat - Blood, gore, and guts I can do. People enjoying pooping on each other? I don't think so.
Diapers on Adults - Diapers on toddlers I can do... or maybe even on really old characters. Diapers on adults who get arousal out of them, I can't do.
Illegal Material - Images of racial hate for non-satirical themes. Images of sexual situations (or nudity) involving minors.
Payment Types
Square Invoice is currently the only form of monetary transaction I'll accept.
Trades are either for art, or characters.
Payment is expected before I begin the process of finishing a piece.
Payment is not expected before the customer sees a planning sketch, (or the YCH).
Commission Terms of Service
https://www.furaffinity.net/commiss.....dgarkingmaker/
The initial request for your commission is known as the agreement of content which is what I will use to quote you on how much, and will be referencing in order to make your commission.
It is your duty as the commissioner to ensure your agreement of content is complete and suits your needs. A sketch will be provided before the final piece is provided - ensure every detail of the sketch fits your needs.
The agreement of content is also the boundaries within what you can revise. If you attempt to make changes to your commission that are outside of the agreement of content either before the finish, or after, it may result in additional charges.
Example:
Agreement: "I want my character (example ref) getting themselves reamed by tentacles, use every hole!"
Upon finishing... "Actually, I wanted the tentacles to be neon green, and not see through!"
This was something not within the agreement of content, but not a hugely difficult fix, but I may ask for a small amount to correct this.
However, if upon finishing... "You missed (obscure content on my ref sheet,) could you please add that?"
That is an item that was within the agreement of content, and I will make the correction for free.
If, during the sketching phase, you are unhappy with the pose, you may request a different pose up to two times. Suggesting a pose is also fine. If you request a change of pose, I am free to use the original pose for something else, (like YCHs.)
Posting the image you've commissioned is alright, as long as my account is linked. Under no circumstances may you remove my signature from the image.
YCH Auction ToS
If you have won an auction, you have made a commitment and have 24 hours to pay for it. You then own the position pose, as far as I'm concerned, and have as long as you want to decide what character to put in that spot. If we're in a multi-auction however, I need your ref within 72 hours, or you may end up being refunded and the slot re-opened.
If you bid and fail to pay, or back out when you've won a slot, it will not be appreciated. Unfortunately, there's no recourse I can really follow except to block you. Let's not have that happen.
Winning an auction means you agree that the pose is acceptable, and at that time only minor changes are allowed to the pose. It is your duty as the winner to provide a complete reference. There is no guarantee on receiving a mid-way sketch with a YCH auction. I will use the reference information you provide me in order to draw the character into the slot, and likely will not make any effort to research the character if something is missing, (I will just assume back/side coloration if it's missing.)
Agreeing on an additional part to the YCH, (internal, extra shot, etc,) is also not guaranteed to have a sketch, but is more likely to result in one.
When posted, you have the right to repost on your account if it's your solo piece. IF the piece has more than one slot, you must ensure it is alright with all of the other winners before you can repost it on your account. As the artist, I will post it on my account regardless. (It will happen.)
The only revisions I'll make on a YCH is if I missed something with your reference, (like stripes, or wings.)
Adoptables & Eggs ToS
Adoptable characters come as is in the submission. Any information not included in the submission itself is not included with the adoptable.
The new owner of any adoptable has full rights to anything they then do with that adoptable. The only retained item is the original reference, which the new owner may not remove my signature from, or post in partial. Any and all other changes to the character for future references or anything else from that point on is entirely their decision, and they do not need to consult me in any way over them.
Hatchable characters, or eggs, have a set reference sheet style before being hatched. The price includes all that is mentioned in the submission. Reference sheets on hatchable characters, once released, are allowed a few minor edits. Major edits and requests before the hatching are often acceptable without additional payment. Major edits after hatching can result in additional costs. Once the character is hatched and acceptably received, they count as normal adoptables, and you are then allowed to do whatever you want with them, other than posting their reference in part, or missing my signature.
Refunds
I would never commission an artist who has a "NO REFUNDS" policy in their ToS, no matter how good they are. It's a huge red flag, and I really think people should be aware of that.
Refunds can occur under a few conditions.
If I've Taken a Long Time... if there is a set time I quote you on for our agreement of content then if I exceed that, you may ask for a refund. Otherwise, if at least 90 days have passed, you may request a refund.
I Just Don't Get It... when I've sent you three sketches... that you just won't accept... then you can request a refund (if you already paid me) because we just don't click on a creative level.
If You've Changed Your Mind and don't want it from me anymore after we've already made our agreement of content or you've won your slot then you are allowed to request a partial refund. At that point I am entitled to keep 50% or $10 of the payment, whichever is less. (So if you only paid $10, I'd only be keeping $5, but if you paid $40, you'd get back $30.)
If You're an Asshole and something happened socially between us, (which is highly unlikely,) then I am entitled to asking what you PayPal is, sending back the money, and using any sketch I started for a new project.
Refunds can take up to a week to pay back once requested, but will be returned.
If you attack me, instead of asking for a refund politely, you're much less likely to receive one. If publicly, I reserve the right to just report you for harassment and block you. So let's all be friends... okay?
