Commission TOS and Prices
5 years ago
Updated as of Monday, July 10th, 2022!Welcome to my terms of service page!
Have a question, comment, or concern? Please, note me 'll be happy to clarify or discuss anything herein. Additionally, all commissions operate under the assumption that the commissioner has read and understands my terms. Thank you!
Base Rates For 1 Character:
Tier 1: 40$
Tier 2: 80$
Tier 3: 160$
Tier 4: 240$
Tier 5: 300$
The second character will cost an additional 50%
Digital Artwork:
While my Tier 2 Full Scenes are my mainstays, I'm actually quite versatile when it comes to what I have on offer! A rough description can be found below!
Tier 1: This is my sketch and colored sketch tier. Usually, I open for these in large batches, because they go pretty quickly. Sketch pages, sketched comics, etc fit under this description as well. 10-40$ per character.
Tier 2: This is my lineart full scene tier. Commissions under this tier will have fully lined characters and moderately complex backgrounds. 80$ base price, +40$ for a second character.
Tier 3: This is my Lined Painting tier! This tier is similar to Tier 2, except with a much more detailed lighting environment, outfit, and background. 160$ base price, +80$ for a second character. Some content, most notably full body latex or considerable amounts of gloss materials start at this tier.
Tier 4: This is my Lined Painting tier. For my most detailed work, and certain highly reactive textures (Latex/Rubber, metal, etc), an additional lineart layer becomes a necessity. 240$ base price, +120$ for a second character.
Tier 5: This is my The Sky Is The Limit tier! For anything above and beyond, extremely detailed scenes, large multi-character paintings, etc, all fall under Tier 5. Each is priced individually, anything in Tier 5 is charged hourly. Estimates can be provided upon request!
Slots and queuing:
When I open, I'll do so via Furaffinity journals and posting my announcement image to let everyone know! The exact number and manner of slot selection will be outlined in every specific commission journal!
Payment, refunds, and Cancellation Policies:
For first time commissioners, I require payment upon completion of the approval sketch! I've never personally been robbed by a commissioner, but I know people who have, and I'd like to avoid it. On the other hand, I like being flexible! If you want something bigger, like a sequence, or a comic, or some such, I'd be happy to work out a payment schedule or the like with you, even (my current real life status permitting) if I'm not actively open for commissions! Contact me via notes if you have any questions!
I require payment through Paypal. No exceptions.
I charge by invoice. Please DO NOT send me money until you've received the invoice!
I add a 4% surcharge by default. This will apply unless otherwise stated.
Paypal reads comments put in invoice note sections, please leave any invoice comments blank!
I have a right to refuse a commission at any point. If you want a refund before I've started, refunds will be offered in full. A refund will be issued in unlikely event that I will prove unable to complete your commission. (catastrophic computer issues, personal injuries, family emergencies, kidnapped by pirates, etc).
Editing Policy:
Upon commissioning me, you'll be given a planner. It is your responsibility to fill out this planner with any details and information necessary with regards to the character, pose, etc. Please be thorough in filling out this planner! I endeavor to deliver the best possible product to my customers, and being as clear as possible up-front is the best way to avoid unnecessary backtracking and revisions! If you have something specific in mind, but don't quite know how to describe it, message me and we'll see about scheduling Stream time!
Unless agreed upon in advance, one approval WIP will be provided when I finish the sketch, but before I begin painting! If you want more than the standard single WIP, please tell me in advance! If you want to physically sit in and watch me do your piece, giving me active feedback as I work, please inform me as such, and I'll schedule some stream-time to work on your painting!
On the subject of Reference Sheets, comic pages, large-scale images, and other large-scale commissions, greater communication will be necessary than FA notes can offer! For these purposes, I have Telegram and Discord, to be shared privately after we've discussed the project, and I've agreed to take you on as a client.
Content Policy:
I try to be a fairly open minded critter! I don't care what you're into, really. Chances are good, if you see it in my gallery, commissioning something like that shouldn't be a problem! If not, feel free to message me about it. I do however have a few Hard Nos, outlined below, that I will not, under any circumstances, consider taking.
Hard No-Nos:
Sexualized Gore (Fantasy Gore is fine.)
Sexualized Violence (Again, fine if it's not sexual, I do violent fantasy/sci-fi imagery all the time!)
Child abuse of Any kind
Anything even remotely close to sex or sex acts with characters under 18.
Discount and Surcharge Policies:
Fun fact, my interests wander! A lot! As such, on any given commission opening, I may offer discounts with regards to specific sorts of content I particularly want to draw, that month! These discounts can range from 25%-50%, and are either slot-dependent (Only the first two people to claim receive the discount, etc), or aren't. These discounts will be largely unique to specific openings, and thus won't be expanded upon here, since each will be expanded upon in that opening journal.
With regards to surcharges, I'm almost always able to complete even highly complex works within the allotted budget outlined in my tiers. However, as I've done more and more commissions, I've gotten the occasional out-there request for something that takes dramatically longer than expected. Extremely detailed clothing, full-body latex texturing, very elaborate alternate versions of a piece (small alts are usually free), internal views of full-body costumes or suits, etc. In the event that this comes up, I'll sometimes charge a fee equal to 50-100% of an additional character of the same tier. This is rare, but has happened before, and I'll tell you if I think it's necessary.
With Regards to Artstreams:
I do art streams, and, in fact, quite enjoy getting to paint live for people! My typical streaming days (as of the writing of this) are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, though I may be able to schedule shorter periods outside of those days if the need should arise, speak to me privately about it. My offline life is admittedly quite hectic, and I can't always guarantee in advance I can stream on a specific day, but I stream frequently enough in general that missing one shouldn't be a problem. If you want part, or all, of your commission done in stream, tell me about it and we'll discuss during the planning of your commission!
Legal Rump Covering:
I've been advised to include this section, covering your rights as a commissioner, and my rights as an artist.
As a commissioner, your rights to your piece include uploading and posting it, freely available, in any galleries or walls you so desire, having prints or copies made for personal use, etc, but do not extend to commercial ownership of the art, printing rights for sale or distribution, or alteration rights. If you want something changed on your commission after the fact, contact me, and we can work something out!
As the artist, I retain full commercial and legal rights to all commissioned artwork, including the right to post, modify, sell, distribute or print for profit, utilize as part of a crowdfunding platform, etc, my art.
Thanks, and happy commissioning!
