The following rules must be followed for every commission:

You as the commissioner:
-May upload work done for you anywhere with due credit to me.
-May edit my work without permission for any non-commercial purposes.
-May not reproduce the image on merchandise or make prints of my work for the purpose of selling it.
-If you are reselling a character depicted in an image made for you, then the buyer may only purchase the reposting rights to the image. I still retain all copyright.
Me as the artist:
-I retain the right to display any commissioned artwork online as advertisement, but you will be credited as the commissioner.
-I retain the right to distribute, reproduce and copy as I see fit for self promotion.
Working process:
-The time it will take for me to finish your commission will depend on the difficulty; I will give you a rough estimate of the time required before we begin.
-Major editing will only be undertaken during sketching; only minor edits may be done once coloring has begun.
-References must be included with every commission requests.
-I do not ordinarily work under rush deadlines; any such work shall be negotiated on a case-by-case basis, and rates will likely be higher.
Payments:
-Half of the payment must be paid up-front, when I am completely finished the work you will be sent a preview as proof it is finished, and then you must pay the second half of the payment. After I receive the second half of the payment, you will immediately be sent the full image.
-I do not give refunds, please think carefully before requesting the process and making your first payment.
Pricing:
-All prices are non-negotiable.
-I reserve the right to change my prices and charge extra for complicated characters. What I consider "complicated" is at my discretion.
-Prices for extra characters cover up to three total characters. Any commissions involving more than four characters requires a custom quote.
-The rates listed here are for commissions for personal use only; commissions for commercial use are negotiated on a case-by-case basis and have different rules and rates.
