Terms of Service
It is your responsibility as the customer to read this TOS in full and comply with it before attempting to commission me. You can click one of the links here to jump to the section you need, but if this is your first time commissioning me, I advise you to start from the top and read the whole thing.
Approaching me for work
I’m always willing to hear your ideas on a possible commission. I don’t really have an “open” or “closed” status, simply a queue. So if you’re interested in something, you don’t need to wait for me to “open slots”. Just ask!
Before contacting me, please make sure you have read and understood this TOS. If you have a question that you could not find the answer to here, then please ask.
Pricing / Quotes
In order to provide you with the most accurate quote, we must discuss the full details of your idea during a time when we are both free.
I cannot provide a price without this information.
Payment
Be prepared to pay up front, either full or partial in order to secure your commission.
I accept Paypal, and Zelle. If you have another payment method you prefer to use, please let me know.
NO YOU CAN NOT PAY BY SPIDER >:O
Partial Payments
I will take and start work with a partial payment, but I will only complete as much work as that payment covers until the full amount has been paid.
Content Subject Matter
As the artist, I reserve the right to deny any commission on the grounds that I am not comfortable rendering it, be it a subject that bothers me, or something of which I feel I cannot do justice. Please keep in mind that I reserve the right to turn down a commission if I’m not interested in the subject matter, setting, or characters.
I WILL draw:
- anthropomorphic characters including, but not limited to: humans, fantasy humanoid entities such as elves, faeries, trolls, etc, mythological creatures, and furries of most types.
- Science fiction and/or fantasy settings
- Modern and historical earthlike settings
- Anime style characters
- Animals
I WILL NOT draw:
- Scat (poopoo)
- watersports (sexual urination)
- massive obesity
- hyper muscle
- csam
- diapers
- vore of any type
- birthing or unbirthing
- Characters that DO NOT belong to you, that you do not have permission to use.
I WILL NOT refer you to another artist who will draw any of that. You are on your own.
Joint Commissions and Gifts
Joint commission requests must be accompanied by written permission from the owners of all participating characters. Email will suffice, but each participant must contact me individually with their permission and proper reference materials. The details of the actual commission must be discussed and agreed upon by all parties, compiled into one description, and an identical copy of the description sent via email by each party. This ensures that everyone is on the exact same page, and nobody is getting shafted by anybody else.
The price will be discussed with all participants, so each knows what their share will be, if the customers will be splitting the cost.
Gift commissions will be done in the same fashion. In the case of a “surprise” gift, the buyer must submit proof that the receiver would like the art and the subject matter.
These proofs can include:
- link to their character TOS if they have one, or anything stating that random gifts are fine.
- links to other art of your characters together in a similar situation as the proposed commission, uploaded to *THEIR* gallery or in their favorites, no more than six months old.
- any other proof that you can provide that will allow me to make a reasonable assumption that the gift and subject matter is welcome.
If I don’t think the proof provided is enough, I’ll either request more proof or turn down the commission.
Private Commissions
You may request a private commission if you do not wish for me to post the image online anywhere. There is an additional fee if you wish your piece to be private for more than a year. This fee will be discussed during the commission discussion.
You may not request a piece be private after the commission has already been paid for and started.
Pieces may be requested to be temporarily private, as in the case of gifts or if it spoils a story you’re writing. There is no fee for this as long as it’s less than one year. Just be sure to let me know when I’m able to post the piece. If no date is given, I’ll wait no longer than three months before posting.
Queue and Turnaround Time
Once I have received payment, your slot will be listed in my queue, which I will provide the link to upon request.
Sometimes this queue is not updated immediately, and may be a couple days to a week before being updated.
Every commission will have a different turnaround time depending on its complexity and how communicative the customer is when receiving progress updates.
Non-work related things may also affect turnaround time for a commission. In such cases, I will inform the customer of the delay.
If you absolutely need a piece by a certain date, we can work something out, but there will be an additional rush-job fee depending on how soon it is needed.
Progress Updates and Revision Requests
Different commission types have different progress updates and amount of allowed revisions. You will be sent WIPs during various stages of the commission. Please get back to me ASAP about any changes that are required.
Please take your time to study each WIP and make note of everything that needs changing, how it needs to be changed, and get it all down in one concise email. Do not rush this process and send me ten emails each with a separate fix you forgot about in the original email.
You may contact me for a progress update at any time if you think I’m taking too long, but please be reminded that I DO know exactly who I have to do work for, and I have not forgotten about you. If I haven’t contacted you with an update, I don’t have anything significant for you, and that is what I will tell you. Please remember that I have more than just your piece to work on.
Above all, PLEASE let me know during the process if something is incorrect or needs changing. I want you to be happy with the finished product.
Copyright Information
You, the commissioner, retain copyright to any character belonging to you that you ask me to depict.
You may NOT make prints of the commission to sell for profit. If it is a physical/mixed media work or a print that I have made and sent to you, you may resell these if you wish. That is up to you.
You MAY upload the image to your personal gallery as long as proper credit and links are given back to my gallery. I encourage this.
You MAY NOT alter the image in any way without my permission. This includes:
-adding your copyright info for the character directly onto the image, unless credit for the work is given to me in the same place (also on the image)
-cropping or erasing out my signature (unless it’s for an icon, and credit is given on any site you use it on or if anybody asks)
-If you notice that I forgot to sign my work or accidentally wrote the wrong year, (hey, it happens sometimes when you’re a universe-faring feline), just give me a poke and I’ll fix it. I’ll never put an obnoxious watermark across your commission, even on the web sized, so my signature and a link to my gallery is all I need.
I, the artist, retain copyright to the SPECIFIC ARTWORK I CREATED containing your character. I DO NOT own your character, and WILL NOT use your character for anything that is unrelated to the commission itself. This means I will never draw your character in any questionable situation without your permission, if I should choose to draw it outside of commission at all.
I may make prints for display purposes, or to sell for profit.
I may use the image for advertisement purposes.
I may post the image anywhere I see fit, or to not post it at all.
And I think that’s about it for the TOS! The secret keyword is “butterball turkey”. Please include the keyword in your commission email to me to prove that you’ve read this TOS.
