TERMS OF SERVICE

By commissioning me, you agree to respect my terms of service. If these are broken, you will be blacklisted.


GENERAL T.O.S.

  • I require at least one digital fullbody reference image for every character I draw. While there is an exception to be made if you are only ordering a headshot or bust, the reference must still be digital. If you want me to work with only a written description, you should be ordering a custom design.

  • You must fill out one of the forms provided to place your order. I will not accept any order that does not use a form.

  • Payment must be in USD via PayPal invoice only. Other forms of payment will not be accepted.

  • I will never ask you to cover my PayPal fees.

  • I require payment upfront before I start working. Please pay me within 48 hours of your order being accepted. If you fail to do this, I will remind you, but if I still haven't received payment within a week after that, I will have to cancel the commission.

  • Refunds can only be given if I have not started the lineart.

  • If I cannot continue your commission for any reason, I will issue you a full refund.

  • If I feel you are being disrespectful or hostile, I will cancel the commission, delete any artwork, and refund you.

  • My art is digital only; you will not receive a physical copy. If you would like to print it, you may do that yourself.

  • If you are ordering two characters interacting in the same piece, please clarify their heights and relationship to each other.

  • If you wish to remain anonymous and not have your username written in the slot you take up, please tell me this when you place your order.


CUSTOM DESIGN T.O.S.

My general Terms of Service still apply to custom designs.

  • Don't resell the design for more than you paid, unless you've made or received additional art of the character to increase its value.

  • You may change the design as you see fit, as long as I am still credited for the original concept.

  • The more detail you provide, the better. I work best with clear and detailed instructions on exactly what you have in mind — don't worry about being picky.

  • I am willing to design fan OCs, but only if I am familiar with the fandom they're from. Feel free to ask me if I'm familiar with any fandom and I will let you know.

  • Special Note: If you're looking for a space-themed design, you've come to the right place. I would love to create a design based on a real constellation, nebula, planet, or galaxy — or even make up a fake constellation to base them on! This character is an example of how I'd design a fake constellation; I would name its most prominent stars according to the naming conventions seen in real ones, and incorporate them into the design in a notable way.


USEFUL INFORMATION

  • On average, it takes me anywhere from two weeks to two months to finish a single commission, depending on the complexity of the order and how busy I am. If you are concerned about how long it's been, feel free to ask me for an update — just be respectful and please don't rush me. I can assure you, I have not forgotten about your order.

  • My order of priority is first come, first serve, the only exception being that I usually work on custom designs last because they take significantly more time and effort than any other commission type.

  • The number of slots you take up corresponds to the number of separate pieces you order.

  • Once your order is accepted and I have received payment, I will send you a sketch to approve in case there's anything you'd like me to change before I continue working. After this, the next thing you receive will be the finished piece. This is because I most often start and finish orders in the same sitting, as this is the easiest way to ensure I get them done in a timely manner.

  • By default, everything except for sketches and custom designs will come with a transparent background. If you would like it to be a solid color instead, let me know.

  • If you want any modifications made to the finished piece, you may ask me. I will make up to five minor changes. Minor changes include but are not limited to things such as color corrections, lineart adjustments, and of course, fixing any mistakes I may have made. I will not draw an entirely different pose, outfit, or background for a piece that has already been completed.

  • All of my artwork is made on Krita using a Gaomon S620 tablet. Canvas size varies.


AS THE ARTIST...

  • I reserve the right to decline or cancel a commission for any reason.

  • I reserve the right to use any commissions as examples of my work.

  • I reserve the right to post any commissions to social medias.

  • If you do not want me to post your commission anywhere public, just tell me and I will refrain from doing so.


AS THE CLIENT...

  • You may upload any commissioned pieces to Toyhouse or other sites, as long as I am explicitly credited and you are not claiming the work as your own; a direct link to my Toyhouse, Instagram, or Tumblr is all I require. This includes using it as your icon on any site.

  • You may not remove or obscure my signature for any reason whatsoever, nor may you trace or edit any of my artwork in any way. Similarly, you may not send it to other artists to trace or edit in any way.

  • You may not use my art for commercial use.

  • You may not make NFTs of my art or put it into AI art programs.
