Terms of Service

Quotes:

Anyone is entitled to a price quote at any time without any obligation to buy. For a price quote, you will need:

- Written or visual references of the character(s) involved. Written references may incur extra costs if I am having to essentially design the character for you.

- What kind of commission you would like (sketch, lined, shaded, etc.). If you want quotes for the same commission at different finishes, this is fine, please ask.

- Whether you require a background and what it is so I can gage complexity.

- An overview of the idea that you have (or if it’s artistic freedom).

- Whether you have a deadline & whether the image is for commercial use.

- Optional, but a thumbnail or references would help massively. Even if it’s a 5 minute MS Paint drawing or Pinterest board, I promise that I appreciate it.



Wills and Won’ts:

Please heed the list of Wills and Won’ts at the top of this document. If what you want isn’t listed, please ask and I will give you a definitive answer. I won’t judge!

That said, I reserve the right to refuse a commission for any or no reason. If I don’t think that I’m capable of completing the commission, I can offer some other lovely artists I know.



Turnaround & Process:

I aim to have a turnaround of one week for icon and sketch commissions, and up to a month for larger pieces. I can give you a better estimate during the price quote based on my current workload, feel free to ask.



Process Outline:

- You approach me for a quote.

- If we’re both happy to go forward with the idea, you’ll give me more information.

- For icons & sketches, you send payment upfront. Otherwise only half upfront is required, you may pay the other half at your convenience. I will invoice you via Stripe.

- I send you a rough sketch to make sure I’ve got the right idea, at which point you can give feedback and ask for major changes to poses, until we’re both happy to continue.

- I complete the piece at my pace. I may ask for your opinion and confirmation on details, and you may ask for an update at any time. I will usually check at the flat colour stage to make sure I’ve gotten markings right.

- Once the piece is complete and we are both happy, any remaining payment must be cleared. Then I will share the full image with you.



Refunds:

I will only offer refunds if I feel that I cannot complete the piece, or if there has been a misunderstanding regarding the nature of the piece. If this happens, I will return funds for any work that has not yet been done.
