1) Displayed prices are subject to change according to the complexity, size, and medium of each individual piece. This includes the addition of characters, props, environmental details, etc.
2) The Artist will not accept commissions that depict any of the following: Trademarked characters not belonging to the Client, sexually explicit (18+) materials, fetishes, gore (excessive violence), and hateful images. The Artist will consider mature themes containing tasteful nudity, mild violence, and/or humorously offensive subjects on a case-by-case basis. The Artist reserves the right to reject any commission for any reason.
3) A clear and concise visual reference and/or written description of character(s) must be provided by the Client. The commission idea may be submitted by the Client, or the Client may wish to defer creative freedom to the Artist. After these project specifics have been discussed, the Artist will provide a preliminary quote to the Client.
4) The Artist will start a commission once the full payment has been received. Payment plans are available for commissions over $500. Payment is only accepted via PayPal at this time.
5) With the exception of small (< $100) commissions, sketches, and Experimental Paintings, the Artist will present a rough sketch to the Client for approval before continuing. At this stage, the Client is granted one free revision (or equal in terms of small alterations) to the sketch. The Client may request that the Artist invest additional time into the rough sketch beyond this free revision. The complexity and quantity of additional revisions will result in a new quote that will be presented to the Client. The Client is responsible for full payment of the new quote prior to the completion of the commission.
6) The Artist reserves the right to reject critique and redline pertaining to artistic skill or style preference (i.e. anatomy, coloring style, etc.) if said critique reduces the artistic quality of the piece.
7) Upon completion of the artwork, a high resolution JPG file will be emailed to the Client. Nothing will be mailed via the post office. (No prints, flash drives, etc.) Only badges and traditional sketches will be mailed to the Client. Additional shipping charges may apply depending on location.
8) Both Artist and Client reserve the right to cancel any commission, at any time, for any reason. In the case of a cancellation, all work done remains the property of the Artist and will not be delivered to the Client.
9) The Client will receive a full refund if:
– The Artist cancels the commission.
– The Client cancels the commission prior to any work (including any research and planning done by the Artist) on a commission.
10) The Client will receive a partial refund if:
– The Client cancels the commission after the Artist has begun any work. The Artist will retain payment equal to the amount of time already spent on the commission.
11) The Client retains all rights to their respective characters. This does not grant them rights to the commissioned image.
12) The Artist retains ALL rights to the commissioned artwork, including the right to make prints and merchandise as well as the right to display commissioned work on any personal website, gallery, or social media.
13) For an additional fee, the Client may request that their character(s) featured in the artwork be altered to appear different prior to becoming prints and/or other merchandise. The Artist is open to discussing any pre-print alterations as long as they are requested PRIOR to the creation of the artwork. Any alterations requested after the completion of the artwork will not be considered as they are too difficult to implement at that point.
14) The Artist has the right to license artwork to third parties. However, the Client will be notified if a third party is interested in obtaining a license for the commissioned artwork. If the Client does not wish their commission to be licensed to a particular third party, the Artist will respect the Client’s wishes and decline the licensing offer.
15) The Client may not profit from the artwork beyond the resale of a physical original painting or drawing (if it was traditionally created). The Client may not profit from the sale of digital files, reproduction of the commissioned artwork, the sale of rights to the commissioned image, or the minting of Non-Fungible Tokens.
16) The Client may create up to three prints for personal use (display in their home or as gifts). Client may also resize or crop the artwork to create icons, wallpapers, or other graphics to be used in non-commercial digital format, but the Client is not granted permission to alter the artwork itself. The Client may upload the artwork to their personal website or gallery, provided that the Client includes credit to the Artist within the title or description of the artwork, that the artwork is presented at a reduced resolution, and that the artwork retains any and all watermarks applied by the Artist.
17) The Artist will accept commissions that are intended as gifts upon the condition that the Client notifies the recipient of the gift prior to payment. The recipient of the gift must also read and agree with these Terms of Service and agree to have their character depicted in the artwork. The Artist no longer accepts commissions that are surprise gifts.
18) Sketches, and all other forms of preliminary visual work that have been rejected by the Client are the property of the Artist, and may be used by the Artist for any future commissions or personal works.
19) The Client must read, understand, and agree to all the above terms before entering into an agreement with the Artist.
By sending payment, the Client is agreeing to the above terms.
