Please take a look at my price guide
1) Published base prices are subject to change according to the complexity, difficulty, size and/or medium of each individual piece.
2) Clear and concise visual references and/or description of a commission idea must be provided by the Client. After which a preliminary quote will be provided by the Artist.
3) Payments must be made in full within 7 days of invoice before any work is done. Once full payment has cleared, the Client's commission will be added to the Artist's work queue. Payment plans can be discussed for those greater than $250.
4) Payments are accepted in USD only and only through Paypal. The Artist will not accept payment in any other form.
5) Client will have the opportunity to direct alterations of the work during the sketch/thumbnail stage, and again at the inking stage. Requested revisions that largely diverge from the Client's original commission description/references may increase the length of time a commission takes, and will be billed separately1. Minor revisions can be made after the commission is complete.
6) Critiques and redline corrections for commissions are welcomed, within reason, to ensure the best result. The Artist reserves the right to reject critiques or corrections.
7) The Artist reserves the right to reject critique and redline pertaining to artistic skill or style preference (i.e. anatomy, coloring style, etc.) or if said critique reduces the artistic quality of the piece.
8) Refund policy is as follows; if the Client wishes to cancel their commission before work begins, the Artist will retain 5% of the original commission payment in US dollars as a convenience fee. In the event of Client cancellation during the sketch/thumbnail stage phase, a 50% refund of original payment will be issued. No refund will be issued if the Client cancels during the color stage, or after the commission is complete. If the Artist cancels the commission, 100% of the original commission payment in US dollars will be refunded to the Client.
9) The Artist reserves the right to cancel a commission and issue a refund due to poor and/or lack of communication, rude or inappropriate behavior, or unforeseen inability to complete the commission.
10) Communications about commissions between the Client and Artist will take place solely through amaraburrger[at]gmail.com for the purpose of record-keeping and consolidation. The Artist will not discuss commissions beyond initial inquiry with a Client using personal note, instant messenger, or public forum. If email communication is not suitable for the Client, it is the Client’s responsibility to facilitate another means of communication which suits both parties.
11) The Artist ensures the Client will receive email updates on commission when necessary. Clients are encouraged to check in when they feel it's necessary (within reason) for updates, assurance, reminders, or questions. Public updates will also be made via Trello board links provided in journal entries at https://www.furaffinity.net/user/amaraburrger.
12) The Artist will not handle depiction of illegal activities, non-consensual sexual activity, hateful images, or images involving real people without the expressed written consent of people being depicted. Violence, gore, and humorously offensive work will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The Artist reserves the right to reject any commission for any reason.
13) The Artist retains the right to display all commissioned work on any personal website, gallery, or journal, with exception to the Artist’s Patreon pending the Client’s approval. If the commissioned work is a time-sensitive gift the Artist may delay public showcase at the request of the Client.
14) The Artist retains ALL the rights to the commissioned artwork, including the right to make prints and merchandise, and to alter the commissioned work to make it more generic for print at the Artist’s discretion. Image rights can be negotiated for an added fee.
15) The Client retains all rights to their respective characters. This does not allow them rights to the commissioned image (see articles 13 and 14).
16) The Client may not profit from the artwork beyond the resale of a physical original painting or drawing (traditional media, not digital). This includes the sale of the digital files, or rights to the image. In the event of the Client selling the character which has been depicted in commissioned artworks, the Artist retains complete rights to the image(s) and will not be required to remove it from any galleries or make any alterations to it based on anyone’s whim, including but not limited to the character’s new owner.
17) The Client may create up to three prints for personal use (display in their home or as gifts). Client may also resize or crop the artwork to create icons, wallpapers, or other graphics to be used in non-commercial digital format, but the Client cannot alter the artwork itself, including merging two or more separate canvases into a single image, without direct consent from the Artist. The Client may also upload the artwork to their personal website or gallery accompanied by a credit line to the Artist, and it must not be any high resolution or unwatermarked version of the artwork. Low resolution and/or watermarked versions of the artwork will be provided to the Client on completion of the commissioned work.
18) The Artist may recycle sketches and preparatory works that were rejected by the Commissioner for other commissions or personal works.
19) In the event that a Client is unreachable by ordinary contact means for 3 months or more (without prior notification, e.g. pending vacation, or sudden life events), the Artist reserves the right to cancel the commission and retain all transferred funds. The Client, having rescinded their spot in line due to lack of communication, is welcome to receive credit, in the amount originally paid, which is valid toward another commission at the Artist’s current rate so long as communication is resumed within one(1) year of the Client paying the invoice in full.
20) The Artist is not responsible for lost or damaged items sent by mail.
21) By sending payment, the Client affirms that they have read and understand, and agree to the above terms set forth by the Artist. Violation of said terms may result in a temporary/permanent restriction on and/or ban from commissioning the Artist.
1 Additional fees may be imposed if corrections result in a sizeable amount of added work. I.E. completely reworking the pose of a character, changing the entire angle of a the scene depicted in the artwork, etc.
