For orders under $100, full payment must be made upfront. For orders over $100, 1/2 payment must received or I will not start on your commission (other 1/2 is paid after the commission is finished). Full payment upfront is optional for orders over $100.
Any R-18 work is increased 55% from the original base price (i.e. watercolor waist up = $35x 0.55 = $54.25).
Payment must be made through PayPal in USD.
*Extra characters = flat rate price x number of characters unless stated otherwise under the heading.
*UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL "1/3 PAYMENT" BE ACCEPTED. IT IS FAR TOO INEFFICIENT, CONFUSING, AND STRESSFUL IF THE COMMISSIONER DISAPPEARS FOR NO REASON.
(i.e. TOTAL = $95 => $20 first, +$5, then $40 after 2nd WIP, and $30 after completed CG WIP)
~PAYMENT PLANS MAY BE ACCEPTED FOR *TRUSTED -REPEAT- COMMISSIONERS.
**GENERALLY, commissioners who have paid in full upfront have priority over those who have a) partially paid and b) have a deadline. It would not be fair to someone who paid in full to have to wait behind a someone who partially paid.
[REFUNDS]
NO REFUNDS as every bit of money either goes towards family groceries, bills or textbooks. Only under DIRE circumstances will I accept refund requests.
[WHEN WILL MY COMMISSION BE COMPLETED?]
Depending on the details required, it may take 1 week to 6 months or more BUT I assure you that it will be of good quality when you receive it. If I do not contact you for whatever reason, you are free to email or message me and I will do my best to respond within 4 days or less, but PLEASE DO NOT MAKE A PUBLIC SPECTACLE OUT OF IT.
[TIME FACTORS]
(I am a recent college graduate whose time is occupied mainly with volunteering/busing to + from said location (2-5 hrs) extra studies and errands for my elderly parents (I'm the only kid, in my 20's, and they are at least 40-50-ish years older--PLEASE UNDERSTAND. I accompany them to most of their doctors' appointments, also. I tend to have more time on the weekends). Sometimes, I get sick because I have iron-deficient anemia or just painful eye strain from being on the PC for work too long.)
**As the commissioner, you have the right to ask for progress images and/or request for me to meet a deadline--DEADLINES ARE GIVEN PRIORITY OVER REGULAR COMMISSIONS, AND SOME CHARGED AN EXTRA "RUSH" FEE (ranging from $15-$45+) IF DEADLINE IS WITHIN 2 WEEKS.
[DISCLAIMER]
I may take slightly longer on a commission because I want to improve upon it. With that being said, IF YOU DO NOT TRUST ME TO COMPLETE YOUR COMMISSION AS BEST AS I CAN, PLEASE DO NOT COMMISSION ME. I try to put 110% in for all commissions, but there have been a minute amount of less-than-pleasant experiences in the 6 years I have conducted commissions. I greatly, greatly appreciate people's patience and understanding regarding these matters.
[DEADLINES]
I will do my best to meet deadlines so long as they are within 2-4 weeks of payment.
[WIPs]
**WIPS will NOT be given for BUDGET ($6-$35) COMMISSIONS because they are generally speed commissions and can take 3-7 days to complete.
Works-in-progress screenshots will be available for larger, more complete CG commissions.
~You have the option to be SURPRISED or to have WIPs (1 every stage: sketch, flat CG, final CG)
[WIP EDITS]
*I WILL DO MY BEST TO PORTRAY THE CONCEPT/CHARACTER(S) AS BEST I CAN FROM THE INFORMATION THE COMMISSIONER GIVES ME, HOWEVER...
Commissioners are allowed a maximum of 2 changes in the sketch stage, 1 minor coloration changes in the flat CG stage and 2 minor coloration changes in the final CG stage.
*ANY EXTRA CHANGES REQUIRING MORE THAN MINOR COLOR EDITS; i.e., REDRAWING OF THE POSE, FACIAL FEATURES, COSTUME, ADDING A WEAPON, ETC, WILL INDUCE EXTRA FEES IF THESE CHANGES ARE SUGGESTED AFTER THE SKETCH, LINEART AND COMPLETED CG HAVE BEEN SENT AND APPROVED.
*ARTISTIC FREEDOM IS GREATLY-APPRECIATED BUT NOT REQUIRED C:
[WHAT WILL I RECEIVE?]
A 150-dpi image file with a small watermark, usually 800-1400 pixels in width, depending on your type of commission.
Each image will either be transparent or have a simple pattern (dependent on commissioner's request). Backgrounds will be charged extra.
A clean, full-resolution image and/or full .psd file is/are available for commercial usage with the purchase of a license.
[WHAT CAN I DO AND NOT DO WITH MY COMMISSIONED IMAGE?]
YOU MAY:
use it for personal reasons (posting it to your deviantART gallery, using it as your avatar, etc), provided you credit me for the art.
YOU MAY NOT:
-sell my artwork or claim it as yours
-heavily edit my artwork
-remove my watermark if you did not pay for a license
[AS THE ARTIST, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO:]
-decline your commission request if I feel that I cannot properly portray what you want
-display the commissioned image(s) in my gallery, tumblr, blog, portfolio, etc
