TERMS OF SERVICE

All characters to be drawn are over the legal age of 18 regardless of physical appearance, the way they act or behave, source material, lore, backstory, or the situation in which they are depicted in

Commissioned work does not reflect upon the artist's own personal beliefs or moral views

The artist reserves the right to decline or ignore certain inquiries and is not obligated to respond to low quality, spammy, or belligerent requests

The artist also reserves the right to not post commissions publicly and is not obligated to if asked

The artist may shift prices depending on the project if needed

Completion times are not set in stone and may be changed around if and as needed

Payment will only be accepted via Paypal invoice (for now at least)

You will be charged in full upfront to ensure that the artist receives full payment

Constant or excessive changes to previously agreed upon work will lead to extra fees

The invoice will only be sent after both parties agree on the commission idea and final price

Failing to pay the invoice within 24 hours will cause your commission to be cancelled and ignored for good

Express/rush fees will be applied for tight deadlines (if any)

Commissions are nonrefundable after payment has been made unless I can't start or finish the commission for whatever reason. A full refund will be issued in that case

Time to complete may depend on other concurrent work, burn out, or personal responsibilities

Certain commissions may take several days, weeks or even months to complete (to avoid these entirely, you may pay an express or rush fee if you need something done within a tight time frame)

The artist reserves the right to pause or delay commissions depending on overflowing work, art block, burn out, or personal responsibilities

Please refrain from “helicoptering” (overbearingly watching over and asking for unnecessary round-the-clock updates) This does not magically make the process go by faster and does little to no good in artist-client relations and may garner negative results or even lead to the artist refusing to work with you in the future

Please have your idea fully ready and clearly laid out with good reference pictures (if any)

Please refrain from sending unnecessary or irrelevant instructions and or details

Failing to provide certain key details and or clear instructions may lead to the final piece not turning out the way you envisioned it

Please do not try to sneakily insert new additions to the agreed-upon work after payment has been sent (I'll just assume you're trying to get free work done and can lead to the commission being cancelled)

Feel free to request updates or WIPs (works in progress) throughout the process

Please include EVERYTHING you wish to be added in the commission from the very beginning so I can plan and price it accordingly

Sketching stage: A rough sketch will be drawn to map out the poses or scenes. After it has been approved, a more detailed sketch will be drawn (faces, musculature, etc.)

Coloring stage: After the sketch has been fully approved, it's time to go in and add colors and show where the shading will go. Upon approval, the final rendering/touch ups will begin

Final stage: The finalized piece will be sent out. Any small last minute changes may be applied if needed. If not, you're all set! You will have 24 hours from then to request any major changes (extra fees will be applied of course). If you miss that window, there's no going back and the commission will be marked as 100% complete and no further edits can or will be made. The full resolution commission will be sent over email, Discord, or whatever secure site you prefer

Characters portrayed in commissioned work remain copyrighted to their rightful owners

The final product is strictly for your own personal use only

You may not remove or edit the GnasherShells watermark

All finished commissions will be kept private by default and will not posted on any social media sites unless given consent by the client

The artist reserves the right to not post finished works publicly even if asked

If the commissioned work goes against any site-specific guidelines, it won't be posted by the artist whatsoever

The artist is not responsible for any account suspensions if you decide to post commissioned work that goes against guidelines

If you wish for the artist to publicly post your commission and they agree, you may request to stay 100% anonymous
