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.
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.

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

- 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

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

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 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.
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.
