Commission Desk

Terms of Service

These terms are here to keep the commission process clear and comfortable for both of us. Please read through them before submitting a request.

By placing a commission, you confirm that you have read and agree to these terms.

Agreement

Agreement

By submitting a request and sending payment, you confirm that you have read and agreed to these Terms of Service.

These terms work alongside the pricing page, estimate calculator, and request form so the process stays consistent from quote to delivery.

General

General / Right to Decline

I reserve the right to decline any commission request for any reason. This includes requests that fall outside my scope, requests I am not comfortable with, or requests that are not a good fit for my current schedule.

While I mainly work with humanoid characters and nature-focused themes, I am open to some subjects outside my usual comfort zone. Subjects such as urban settings, beasts, armor, guns, and other modern weapons may take more time and may affect the final quote.

Commission Scope

Commission Scope

A quote covers only the scope agreed on before payment. If the request changes significantly after work has started, I may need to re-quote the commission or charge for additional work.

If a request grows into a much more demanding illustration than originally discussed, I may quote it at illustration-level pricing instead of treating it as a simple add-on.

Payment Terms

Payment Terms

Payment is accepted through platform checkout and/or invoices through PayPal.

  • Orders under $200 are paid in full upfront.
  • Orders over $200 are split into 50% upfront and 50% after sketch approval / before final delivery.

Work begins once the required payment has been received. Final high-resolution files are delivered after payment has fully cleared.

A commission slot is not held in the queue until the required payment has been received.

Workflow

Workflow

1 Request submission
2 Quote confirmation
3 Invoice sent
4 Sketch approval
5 Rendering
6 Final delivery

All commission communication should stay in one thread whenever possible so details do not get lost.

Revisions

Revisions

  • Up to 2 revision rounds during the sketch stage
  • Up to 5 minor tweaks after coloring begins
  • Major revisions after the included rounds: +$20 each
  • Minor revisions after the included rounds: +$8 each

Major pose changes, composition changes, or large design changes requested after approval may require an added fee or a full re-quote.

Once final approval has been given, no free revisions are included.

Refund Policy

Refund Policy

Refunds are handled based on the stage of the commission.

  • Before sketch begins: refund minus non-refundable platform or processing fees, if any.
  • After sketch begins: 50% of the total payment is non-refundable.
  • After rendering begins: the refund is determined by completed work, and at least 70% of the total price will be retained.
  • After final delivery: no refunds.

If I must cancel for any reason, you will receive a full refund for any work not completed.

If there is a payment problem, please contact me first so I have a chance to resolve it. Initiating a chargeback without contacting me first may result in being declined for future commissions.

Usage Rights

Usage Rights

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all commissions are for Personal Use only.

Personal Use includes:

  • posting the finished piece with credit
  • using it as a personal icon or banner
  • personal printing for non-commercial purposes

You may not:

  • resell the artwork
  • mint it as an NFT
  • use it to train AI
  • redistribute source files
  • use it commercially without an agreed license

Copyright remains with me unless rights are separately transferred in writing.

Commercial Licensing

Commercial Licensing

Commercial use is not included in the base commission price.

If you want to use the artwork for monetized or business-related purposes, the appropriate commercial license must be discussed and agreed on before final delivery.

  • Creator Commercial License
  • Merchandise License
  • Full Buyout / Copyright Transfer

Commercial usage requires written permission and pricing agreement.

Privacy / Posting Permission

Privacy / Posting Permission

By default, commissions are kept private unless posting permission is clearly granted.

If you allow me to post the finished commission in my portfolio, social media, or personal sites, the agreed posting-permission discount may be applied.

  • you may request that the piece not be uploaded
  • you may request that your name or handle not be shared publicly

NSFW Policy

NSFW Policy

NSFW commissions require 18+ confirmation.

I do not accept real-person NSFW unless there is clear public permission or indication that such fanart is allowed.

NSFW work is handled offsite if needed, and any NSFW listing or preview remains separate from the main SFW site experience.

Delivery

Delivery

Final files are delivered after full payment is complete.

Primary high-resolution delivery may be handled through an external file link when needed, and the client portal may also keep invoice and progress records for convenience.

Preview files shown in the portal are for convenience and may be lower resolution than the final delivery files.

Communication / Conduct

Communication / Conduct

Please provide clear references, important requirements, and anything you specifically want included or avoided.

Keeping all key details in the request form and follow-up thread helps avoid delays and misunderstandings.

Abusive, manipulative, or inappropriate behavior may result in cancellation of the commission.
