  • You will agree here to the policy of using the art for personal, non-profit purposes unless otherwise stated, and provide all image credits to me.

  • I do not allow my art to be used for AI purposes and alike. Please do not upload it to any AI sites as this could compromise my artwork.

COPYRIGHT

  • I reserve the right to sign and/or watermark my own work. I will send you a full resolution image (by email, via google drive or dropbox), but my signature will remain on the artwork. This doesn't apply to "Visual Novel assets" commissions.

  • You are responsible for protecting your ownership over rights to a character design made by me by creating a copy image with your name added as well (ie. through a watermark) when uploading on external sites.

  • I retain all copyright over my work, which includes the right to redistribute, reproduce, or use the image as a sample for sales or self-promotion unless otherwise agreed upon. In the case of a Public Commission, I may do whatever I wish with the art (eg. post it to other sites such as Bluesky) but will give proper credit to you for ownership of the character’s design.

  • In the case of a commission, I will not claim the rights to a character design unless it was one of my own designs. Therefore I will not reuse/resell the artwork for personal or commercial projects unless agreed upon.

WAITLIST

  • I sometimes work on multiple commissions at the same time.

  • When my commission slots are full, you can request to be added to the waitlist.

  • Waiting time after being added to the waitlist to placing the order depends on many factors such as: health, work or family issues, amount of orders I'm able to complete each month.

  • There is no obligation to proceed with the order once I reach out to you in order to confirm your interest.

  • To join the waitlist just contact me via email or DM

  • If you want to skip the wait list, I'll attach a rush fee, but no exact deadline will be set unless you give me one.

  • Because my prices can change, if you are on the wait list while they change, once your slot is moved to my current queue, you will pay the price that is currently listed.


REVISIONS

  • For UI commissions, there is no limit to revisions in the sketching phase but if I notice you are taking advantage of it, an additional fee will be charged.

  • Every time when I send you a WIP, you're allowed (and encouraged) to let me know if you would like me to make any changes to the artwork.

  • After a commission is finished, only small changes are allowed to be made, such as small coloring/marking mistakes and details forgotten on my side. They are only possible to be made within a month from completion of the artwork.

  • Any great changes will come with an extra charge: such as an outfit change, outfit addition or subtraction, background change or anything that makes me have to redraw completely any parts of the artwork

PAYMENTS

  • After 100% of the payment is sent, I will start working.

  • I will initiate the transaction to avoid accidental transactions. Do not send me any kind of payment until I have confirmed I can accept your commission AND have asked for payment.

  • Paying in any other way (not agreed upon, not discussed) is considered a donation.

  • Repeated counts of commissioning a project and failing to pay will result in blacklisting.
