General Terms of Service - Updated Nov 2024
a year ago
I reserve the right to edit these rules at any time I see fit, without prior notice. I will usually try to keep the community notified of changes or updates. As the commissioner, it is your responsibility to make sure you have read and agreed to all the conditions below before commissioning me.
You are always welcome to ask me for a quote, whether commissions are open or not. But do not ask me for a commission if I’ve clearly stated I’m closed. You won’t secure yourself a place in line by doing this; you’ll just have to wait like everyone else. I offer commissions in a quantity that I am able to complete them in a reasonable timeframe. Adopts can be purchased at any time, however, if commissions are closed, you may not request any extras (detailed ref sheets, etc.) until I am open again.
Send me a message when I’m open and ask first, and if I ok your idea, I’ll send you an invoice. I'll need you to pay it before work begins. You have 72 hours before the spot goes to someone else. If you need more time or to pay on a specific day, please let me know that as well.
You send your ref, and I’ll ask whatever questions I need to get it straight in my head. If I ask a lot of questions, it’s because I want to make sure I get it as close to your vision as possible. This is also the stage where you let me know about anything specific I should do once done. I’ll cover that more further down. I’ll send you a sketch when I start, and ask for your approval. This is the stage where you need to tell me which adjustments to make. Once you approve it, that’s it, and I will work until finished.
Commissions are usually worked on in the order they are received. Sometimes, however, I’ll get stuck on one, and rather than let the whole queue suffer, I may move on to another to keep creative juices flowing. If you’d like, you may request 1 WIP either per stage or per week. This needs to be discussed up front, if possible, so I don’t end up disappointing you inadvertently. Anyone can request a WIP at any time, however, as long as it’s only one per week.
Once I’m finished, you’ll get the final piece through e-mail. Let me know if you prefer .PNG or .JPEG., or if you need a smaller size.
If there is anything that you feel needs to be tweaked, I can do a few small edits for free (i.e. removing lines that look like they’re “too much” as long as it’s a small area, changing pupil shape, or something I may have accidently overlooked, such as coloring in a talon). If it’s something large, like you need something bigger than a simple necklace thrown in, or an article of clothing, putting your dog in the corner over there, or even something like moving a limb around, expect me to charge. The amount will be based on how much I have to edit, and it will take time to do. You may also expect to be put at the back of the queue, depending on how much work it is or how quickly I can halt work on whatever I’m working on next. NOTE: I ALONE WILL DETERMINE WHETHER YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THE EDIT OR NOT.
Time frame
I have two teens with special needs and am disabled myself. Sometimes commissions may take a while. Please give me one month for plain sketches and two for anything else. If I haven't delivered in that time and I'm not close to completion, we can discuss other options.
Refunds
If something comes up or you feel I am taking too long getting to you, you are most certainly welcome to ask for a refund. I base the refund you get on the amount of work I’ve done so far. If I haven’t started at all, you will get a full refund. If I have started, I’ll base it on the stage I’m on. You’ll also get the work I have done up to that point as a .JPEG.
Special
If you have a special request for your art, please let me know during the planning stage so I have all the info up front. Special requests can include:
- Delayed posting: either because the picture is a gift for an important date or a surprise in general.
- Posting after you: If it’s your policy that the artist post after you’ve posted your commission to your personal gallery, PLEASE let me know up front.
- Anonymity: I’m totally down with noting that something I make is for an anonymous client.
- WIPs: Discuss with me how you want me to send WIPs. I can do it either for each stage of the process, or once a week (if it takes longer than a week). Due to AI shenannigans, all WIPs will have a watermarked and be poisoned.
While I may very rarely consider a condition where I don’t post your art at all, please note that my galleries are also my portfolios: collections of my work to show others what I can do. So if you request that I don’t post at all, or don’t post to a site I’m on regularly, I may have to turn you down.
User and Artist Rights
You maintain the right to:
1. Be treated fairly – If I do anything that offends you, please let me know. I can be awkward or blunt at times, and accidentally be rude. I will not talk negatively about you anywhere. I value you as an individual.
2. Understand everything agreed upon – If there is a misunderstanding about anything in my ToS or the information concerning your commission, please ask questions so we can iron things out.
3. NOT have your artwork used for anything against your consent – I do not use anyone’s commission for anything that directly provides me any monetary compensation. I will not sell your image as prints, t-shirts, stickers, etc. without your explicit consent. That is in part your intellectual property, and I respect that. I do sometimes use commissions for promotional items, such as flyers, ads, and commission sheets. If you would prefer your art not be in anything but my galleries, you are welcome to tell me.
4. Post your art on any site you want, where applicable – Even if I’m not part of that community. All I ask is that proper credit and a link back to my Fur Affinity, Tumblr, Twitter, or Bluesky is given. You can upload to all your galleries, if you have more than one. Just make sure your image fits the site guidelines. I will not be held liable for a client not following community guidelines or using proper filters of whatever website the commissioned work is being upoaded to.
5. Have fair usage of your work - You may use your art for any non-profitable reason you like. Make it a banner, an avatar, a wallpaper, part of a collage, etc. As long as there is a link back to one of my art accounts, and no money is being made, it's fine with me.
I maintain the right to:
1. Turn down any commission for any reason – Sometimes I might not be able to get behind your idea, even if it’s not going against my ban list. This may be something as vague as an idea, to a kink I'm not familiar with, a character or ship I'm not a fan of, etc. I don't think I have ever directly turned down anyone, but it needs to be said on the rare occasion it may occur.
2. Be treated fairly as well – I haven’t had problems with anyone, but I’m still going to write this out. I have many obligations in my own life as well as here, and as a result, I cannot dedicate my entire being to art, at least at this time. I will try to get things to you as soon as possible, but you are always welcome to cancel and ask for a refund if you feel I’m dragging things along. If I miss a detail, please respect that I am human, and most likely will do everything I can to correct my mistake. Please treat me as you would like me to treat you.
3. Charge extra for sudden edits and additions that you request – This is why it is essential to give me all the information up front. I keep notes, and read them repeatedly, so most of the mistakes I make are usually out of context, and not omission. If you decide something needs to be changed after I start inking, I may charge more depending on how far along I am and what all needs to be adjusted.
4. Not have my works pirated – I maintain much of the intellectual rights on any art I produce. Normal commissions are not for reproduction of any kind! If you want me to make a design for your business or something you may profit off of, we need to draw up a contract. I will be willing to design things for single or limited use reproduction, such as tattoos, dakimuras, custom items like wrapping paper or fabric, prints you may just give your friends and family, etc. If I find evidence that you are violating this, I will refuse you service in the future. If you are unsure, please ask. If I find my works being used in any sort of AI, I will bar you from all future service and probably tell every artist I can.
