terms of service
general
The artist has the right to reject the commission request.
The requests are based on a first-come-first-serve basis and will be queued until it is your turn. The client will be notified of a rough estimation of the waiting time at the beginning of the request.
The whole transaction/discussion should be exchanged over a written platform, preferably Discord or e-mail, this is to protect both sides of the party.
Both the client and the artist are not to disappear on each other without any notification in advance during the transaction.
The client is responsible for compiling and providing all the necessary information for commission requests. (For a quick guideline, please look at the Reference Guideline.)
The client is not allowed to rush within the agreed timeline.
The client is not allowed to remove the watermark/credit from the commission piece.
The client is not allowed to heavily alter the finished artwork. However, light edits such as filters or stickers are fine.
The client is to let the artist know in advance if they wish to remain anonymous and/or does not wish to have their commissioned piece to be posted by the artist. (ie. Private commissions,etc)
The client is to let the artist know in advance if they have a deadline they’d like the artist to match. (Subject to availability).
The actual commission process starts only when the artist receives the first half of the payment. (Until then, you will not secure a slot in the queue if there is one!)

The artist will proceed with the remaining steps required to finish the artwork; the client is free to request as many updates as they require during this process. (If the client were to request any major changes/addition during this process, additional fees will be applied accordingly)

Rights of Use
The prices displayed are not for commercial/reproduction uses, it is strictly meant for personal use. Not sure what are the commercial uses? If you are earning or profiting in any way from said artwork, that is considered a commercial use.
For commercial uses, it is generally 2 times the total amount, but please mention ahead of time during the request process, as certain commercial uses work better on a royalty basis.
The artist retains the right to post the completed commission with watermark and appropriate credit to the client (or not, if the client wishes to remain anonymous), unless it was a private commission. (With that said, I generally do not post commissioned pieces publicly.)
Reference Guideline:
Where should I compile them? I strongly recommend Google Drive.
Organising them by folders for easy access. (ie. Character Sheet(s), Poses, Outfit ,etc)
General things you are strongly advised to prepare:
Character Sheet(s); these are essential to avoid misportrayal.
Samples of costume design(s); if the outfit is not the same as the ones in the character sheet(s). There will be extra-charges if you request the artist to design a new set of costume for your character.
**Poses/Facial expressions; **photos/templates are fine, but I will not copy exactly the template as it is unethical and illegal. The client may ask the artist for recommendations on this if they are unsure.
Things you should also prepare if you are requesting for full illustrations:
A rough idea of the composition; it is okay if you do not have any, give me a few keywords, or just a theme, and I will draft thumbnails for you to choose from.
Photos of the location you want the background to be set in (Photos!); this only applies if you already know what exactly you want
Character Introduction; this only applies if you are letting me compose the whole thing from scratch (for me to understand better to pose and express them accurately!)
By commissioning me, it means you have fully read through, understand and agreed to the ToS.
