I love art I have such a great time commissioning it, the fun of getting to know and become really good friends to artists I've worked with over the years in the fandom. But after several bad experiences with a few artists I wanted to commission and paid up front for in good faith then turn around and getting the run around treatment. I'm going to start a commission policy. This will only effect new artists I personally commission. Artists and friends I've worked with over the years and for joint commissions where I'm just a contributor, or those that have been vouched for by my friends it wouldn't apply.


borrowed from  ssvanti commission policy

Things you NEED to be aware of before you accept my commission:

-I ONLY use PayPal.
-I will not prepay until you are ready to start the project.
-There is a 44 day suspense deadline on this project from date of payment.
-If you need additional time to complete, I will give another 20days to the deadline.
-Projects that require more time will only be paid in installments, as work is done. This will be discussed and agreed upon prior to any payments being issued.
-I need you to communicate with me. Inform me of things like setbacks, issues/etc. with a note, page shout, or email. Journal posts are too easily missed.


Additional items of interest:
ALL publicly displayed copies of the image "must" contain the characters names ON the actual image. You may place these names as a copyright statement if you so choose. If provided the hi-res private version does not need this. I retain rights to post artwork on galleries I manage with a link back to the original posting. You retain the copyrights to the image, not to the character(s).

If multiple characters are in the image, each character owner may upload to their own galleries. If you sell the image, or include it in a portfolio, you as the artist are responsible for contacting the other characters in the image for permission. You have mine so long as "Acroth" appears on the image itself in whatever medium you reproduce it in.


GIFT ART

I do except gift art provided that they please do the following

1) - at a minimum I would very much appreciate a character copyright statement in the image itself along with the artists signature.

2) - check with me prior to commissioning/drawing one that's sexual or adult in nature. I'm pretty vanilla but there are things I am against.

Gift Art - art I do not pay for or commission, will be posted to my regular gallery with gift art in the title and a link to the original if provided any private gifts will be kept private.
