Terms of ServiceLegal Obligations Should You Commission Me

When commissioning me for custom artwork, you are agreeing to all the terms, rules, and guidelines for conduct during our commission correspondence and use of the resulting artwork that I have listed here. Please be sure to read them carefully.General Rules:
• I can decline to do a commission for any reason. No is a complete sentence.• Please be kind, respectful, and patient. I do not make art as my primary income. Should a major life issue cause an extended delay, I will communicate this to you. You will not have to chase me down for an explanation.• I will not make art that promotes hateful material or events. Repurposing my art for such things will incur a public call out and a blacklisting from me as well as legal action for using the art you bought against the ToS.• When using my art in public spaces like profile pictures, RP profiles, etc., please credit me via one of my social links. They can be found on the landing page of my Carrd.• My art is never to be used in AI-generative programs in any shape, form, or fashion, or made into NFTs. This also includes posting to Instagram accounts that haven’t opted out of AI training and X which does image to image generation.Payment:
• Have payment ready! I will not be waiting for you to “get the money” after you’ve reached out. I’ll assume you have the funds after you contact me for my artwork, just as you would any other service in an industry.• Only payments via PayPal in USD are accepted. This is non-negotiable.• To begin a commission, 50% down must be paid in advance. The remaining 50% is due upon completion. This is to avoid scamming. Canceling your commission after I’ve made it past the Refined Sketch phase makes the 50% deposit non refundable. Depending on the reason for the cancellation, this can also mean you will be blacklisted from commissioning me again. Should you cancel before the refined sketch is completed, your down payment will be refunded back to you in full. Repeat cancellations in this manner can still result in you being blacklisted, so don’t abuse this kindness!• Money will not be accepted before a commission invoice has been sent. Paying through the invoice, which includes an abbreviated copy of these Terms of Service, adds legal documentation that you agree to the listed guidelines.• I am currently not taking commercial or product-use commissions.• No haggling! I will inform you before beginning the commission what your final cost will be. This price will be firm.As the Commissioner:
• You agree to provide good references and outline your request(s) clearly. The more references, the more accurately I can draw your character/person/pet! Prior artwork, photos, screenshots, etc.! If no images are available, then detailed descriptions and mood boards work, too! This includes inspo art of other characters as well!• You will communicate with me promptly about revisions you want in a timely manner. I limit the turnaround time for communication to 7 days. If you do not get back to me before that time is up, I will proceed to the next stage of the artwork or assume that the revision you requested has been accepted.
I understand life circumstances occur, but these must be communicated to get any sort of extension! Telling me after the fact will not undo the work I’ve put into your commission.• You will use the AI poisoned versions of your commission for public shares while the print versions are for your own enjoyment/personal use.Workflow:
1. Commissioning: We discuss the terms of your commission, costs, potential lead time, composition.2. Invoicing: After you make the 50% down payment, work begins!3. Concept Sketching - Check-In 1: I will present a very loose base sketch to get the pose and idea down for your picture before I begin sketching. 5 revisions max.4. Refined Sketch - Check-In 2: Sketch that will have basics of lighting, line weight and composition. 3 minor revisions max, no full re-does5. Line Work - Check-In 3: 2 minor alterations max.6. Flat Color/Greyscale Shading - Check-In 4: 2 minor revisions are accepted to fix color/shading accuracy.7. Refining - Watermarked Piece: 2 minor revisions max to fix lighting/color/rendering issues that are inaccurate to the character concept. A watermarked small size version will be sent for approval before final payment will be promptly due.Upon completion and final payment, you will be given 4 versions of your artwork over email to avoid compression distortions caused by social media platforms:Web-sized .PNG and .JPEG, AI poisoned for public use.
AI poisoning means the art has been run through filters to prevent AI scraping from stealing the artwork and using it to create faux artworks.
These are typically at 72 dpi, at least 1000 px tall or wide.Print-sized .PNG and .JPEG for personal use.
Primarily for printing for your personal use as wall art, computer wallpapers, etc.
These are set at 300 dpi and the default size that I originally worked in.ToS last updated 17 January 2026.
