Drpickelles' ToS ↀᆺↀ✿
What rating I draw: I like to keep things around PG-13. I will draw basic artistic nudity, but no defined genitalia and no adult work (Basically, nipples and butts are cool). If you have any questions about what may or may not fit into that category, just pop me a note. ;)
WIP process, changes and the finished product:
For types with WIPs, there's usually one WIP, and that is of the rough sketch phase. You can have anything changed about the pose in this phase. Once this WIP has been approved, I go on to finishing touches, and painting. Nothing after the approval stage concerning the pose can be changed, without incurring an additional fee, if painting has already been started. (Unless the mistake is on my end.)
**WIPs aren't included in journal specials, sketches, iron artists, auction pieces, YCHs, or raffle/kiriban/requests. If they are, it will be specified on the submission/advert/journal.
When the art is finished you'll receive a link to the best online viewing size(resized file), as well as a high res file. The high res file is usually a PNG, and set at 300 resolution. I tend to work big; though some files will naturally be smaller, depending on the item you buy (like the post-it note mini sketches for example). It's the clients responsibility to save the high res file for their own records.
Customer Rights:
*Prints or copies of any kind of the art may not be sold, unless permission by me is granted.
*The artwork is for personal use only unless discussed and agreed upon before payment is received.
*Artwork may be re-posted onto other sites if it has been made for the re-poster, but written credit must be stated clearly where the image is posted.
*My art may not be used as as watermarks, logos, covers (books, CDs, etc), ads, clothing, sold merchandise, etc. without discussing it before payment is given. I don't charge extra; I just like to know.
*If you buy a sketch or line art from me, you have my permission to color it yourself or to have it colored by another artist. Please just make sure you and the other artist includes written credit if the image is re-posted to gallery's, colored or otherwise.
My Rights as an Artist:
*I may post commissioned works and any parts of them on any of my accounts.
*I may put any commissioned works into my art portfolio.
*I may enter commissioned works in contests and art shows.
*I may sell prints of commissioned works.
*I have the right to decline any commission before money has been exchanged.
*I have full rights to the commissioned artwork.
*If you post something that was previously marked as 'private', I have the right to upload it as well.
Adoptables and their rights:
*If you buy an adoptable from me, you have my full permission to change the name, gender, and things about the design.
*Adoptables are sold as shown, I do not make changes to finished designs.
*If at some point you want to sell the adopt, I have no issues with this. You can sell the adopt for how ever much you want, even if the price exceeds the original sell price. (This only applies to the owners of the adopt.)
Refunds:
*A refund may be requested at any time
*If a refund has been requested but the commission has been started, a partial refund will be issued. This partial refund is based on my discretion for how much work and time I've put into the image.
Payments:
*I require 100% of payment upfront. It's much easier than to chase people around for payments. I work very quickly, and sometimes clients may only check their messages once a week, making me halt progress on work, and messing with my flow.
*In instances of large orders, payment plans can be made and discussed. Payment plans are available to orders over $300
*I work using INVOICES. They are easier to keep track of, and as someone who pays government taxes on artwork, that's very useful.
*No e-checks.
*If an invoice isn't paid within 72hrs, the invoice will be cancelled, and you lose the slot. (This only applies to orders that have not been started/no money has changed hands.)
Gifting:
*I am not responsible for any drama or issues that may arise if I am commissioned to draw for someone who is not comfortable with me drawing them.
*If you have had someone commission me for a picture of your character and you are not comfortable with the image, please contact me to take it down.
Working with multiple clients:
In the instance I get hired by someone who wants me to work with multiple people over a single image, I will work with the person who sent the payment-- this person is the 'lead' in this situation, it's up to that person to talk over wips and what they want with each other, before the 'lead' contacts me. This is to prevent clients contradicting each other, not knowing what they, and their fellows want, and often times-- causing confusing stress for themselves, as well as me, the artist.
*Payments may be sent from multiple clients over a single image, but I will discuss the WIPs and wants with the lead elected by your group. Less stress for all. ;)
Disclaimer: It is not my legal responsibility to make sure that a customer agrees to the Terms of Service when commissioning me. It is the customers responsibility to read the Terms of Service in full and agree to it as a whole or ask questions if they are uncomfortable or confused with some things stated. If one does not ask then I shall assume that the Terms of Service has been read in its entirety and everything stated has been agreed to. The Terms of Service is here to protect the customers as well as the artists and is completely necessary.

Disregard the hidden comments that were talking about Batman. This is a 'professional' ToS, lol. No Batman here. ;D
Also, welcome to the comments section! Not sure how many people read this stuff; but it's good to have. :)
