I reserve the right to refund a commissioner or refuse a commission for any reason (Such as rudeness or being unreasonably difficult to work with). While I grant the IP rights of character designs to their new owners', I retain all copyrights to the art itself and the right to upload it to my own social media, other display sites, or portfolios.

PAYMENT
Payment is 100% up-front required.
Monetary/Cash payments will be done through Paypal invoice (Goods & Services) or DeviantArt Commission Widget (Points Only). When ordering your commission please provide the Paypal email you'd like the invoice sent to (Not Paypal.me Addresses) or the DeviantArt username (Points only).
Work will not begin on your commission until payment is made. Payment is due within 24 hours of an invoice being sent unless agreed upon otherwise. Time of payment fulfillment will also affect your completion date & place in my public Work Queue.
​
I do not do payment plans save for rare exceptions with frequent commissioners.
TIMEFRAME
Average turn around time is 5-6 weeks but may vary if a large number of projects are in my queue.
Especially large projects (Several full color comic pages, Full body scene w/ a dozen+ characters, etc) will likely take more time than the average.
​
If you have timeline/deadline concerns, please notify me and we can discuss further.
You can keep track of your commission progress outside of my working hours by viewing my public Trello work queue.
PROCESS
A summary of my work & commission process:
​
-
1) Initial contact: Fill out the commission form and send it to me.
​​
-
2) Questions: I will ask any questions I need to clarify details/etc & get a better idea of what you would like.
​​
-
3) Invoice/Payment: If one hasn't been provided, I will ask for a Paypal email for the invoice. Move to Step 4 upon payment confirmation.
​​
-
4) Sketching: Initial sketch is made. Sketch WIP check-in is sent out. You may request additional check-ins at the Lineart & Flat Color stages. This is your last chance for a partial refund if unsatisfied.
​​
-
5) Lineart: Lineart drawn & other details such as color, shading, & background (if applicable) are added. No refunds are available upon reaching this step.​
-
6) Color & Details: Flat color & details like shading & background are completed.
​
-
7) Completion: I message you with the completed commission. You will receive three files on average (May be more dependent on commission type):
1 PSD file
1 watermarked PNG file
1 unwatermarked PNG file
I request that the PSD and unwatermarked PNG be kept to yourself as proof of ownership.
REFUND POLICY
Prior to First Sketch Delivery - Full Refund
Post Sketch - 75% Refund
Post Lineart - No refunds
​​
If refunding prior to the lineart stage you may use the sketch WIP as you choose, but no PSD will be sent. Refunds may take up to two weeks to process dependent on payment platform.
Anyone found to be abusing this policy will be blocked & blacklisted from purchasing from me in the future.
ADDITIONAL FEES
Complexity Fee
At my discretion, if I think a character will take additional time outside the norm due to complicated design/details/etc, a Complexity fee of 20% of the commission Base Price (Before Additions like BG or extra characters) will be added.
​
-
Example #1. A complexity fee on a basic shaded feral full body piece would add $4.40 (20% of base $22) for a new total of $26.40 ($22 base+$4.40 fee = $26.40).
-
Example #2. A complexity fee on a full shaded anthro full body piece with a Medium BG would add $7.20 (20% of base $36) for a new total of $63.20 ($36 base + $7.20 fee + $20 BG add-on = $63.20).
If there are additional complex characters included they may incur their own complexity fee.
Excessive Revision Fee
I will allow several small changes to a WIP commission (During Sketch, Lineart, or Coloring steps) as well as fix any mistakes I have made without issue. However, if you have me greatly rework a sketch multiple times or completely redraw something, you will incur an Excessive Revision fee.
​
For each large alteration or complete resketch I am asked to do, you will incur an additional 25% fee of the base commission price (Before Add-Ons) of a lineart version of that commission type.
​
Remake fees are to be paid after commission completion & you will be informed prior to adjustments if you are incurring them to avoid surprises.
-
Example #1. I sketch an anthro full body for you. You dislike the composition overall and request a new pose/angle/everything. This will incur a remake fee of $4.50 (25% of an anthro full body lineart piece).
-
Example #2. I sketch a feral half body for you. Twice, you change your mind on the mood & pose of the character and request it be redrawn. This will incur a remake fee of $5.00 (25% of a feral waist up lineart piece times 2).
