Payment is to be made after the Client has approved the sketch. The sketch will be resized and watermarked. The commission will be on an "on hold" status until payment has been received.
The Artist will not work with deadlines or rush orders.
The Artist does not work on a "first come first serve" basis. Smaller commissions/ commissions that do not take much time may be worked on in between larger commissions/ commissions requiring more time.
The Client may contact the Artist at any time to ask for a progress check on the commission, but no more than once every two weeks. The Client is encouraged to contact the Artist via social media (Tumblr, Twitter, DeviantArt, Toyhou.se, Instagram) if the Client is unable to reach the Artist via e-mail.

Section 3.1 - Designs

General Adopt TOS:

All designs have a 14 day/2 week trade/resell cooldown. The Client may gift designs freely.
Do not resell designs at a higher price than what you bought them at unless they come with commissioned artwork.
- Designs received through trades may not be resold unless you have added to the character's value. Commissioned art and full personal pieces add to their worth; Gifts, trades, and low effort artwork do not count towards their worth.
The Client must notify the Artist if trading a design.
The Client is forbidden from using the Artist's designs to promote or romanticize disgusting content. (homophobia, transphobia, racism, pedophilia, incest, noncon, etc)
If redesigning a character, do not lighten the skin-colour, do not permanently straighten textured hair, and don't remove prosthetic parts or other disability aid. Otherwise, the Client make any changes they wish.
While the Client is allowed to give their character any pronouns, gender, and story-- they are forbidden from labeling them with harmful terminology or symbols. This includes but is not limited to bi/pan lesbian, super straight, toothpaste flag, the battelaxe bisexual flag, the labrys flag, any fetishistic or derogatory language that the Client unable to reclaim, and obviously other hate group symbols.
The Client is forbidden from writing the Artist's designs as racist stereotypes, even if "positive".
The Client is forbidden from deleting the Artist's designs. They may hide them, however. Please notify the Artist if this is the case, otherwise the Artist will assume the Client is breaking TOS and they will be given a warning.
The Client may not use the Artist's designs for commerical use at the moment.
The Artist reserves the right to revoke his designs from the Client without refund if found breaking TOS. This will only be done in especially concerning situations.

Section 3.2 - Cultural Sensitivity

Read this section very carefully if you are in possession of or plan to purchase a culturally-specific design from the Artist. Since the Artist will (likely) only ever be making Japanese-based designs, this section will only be covering that. The Client should be very mindful of how they write any designs they receive; The Artist not tolerate fetishization or insensitivity of any sort. It should be mentioned that these rules also apply to non culturally-specific designs as well. If you, the reader, ever finds these rules to be excessive, you should not be writing characters from other minority groups in the first place.

With regards to designs that draw inspiration from or are based in Japanese culture:

The Client is allowed to write them as any ethnicity they please, however, the character should still be mixed Japanese.
The Client is forbidden from naming the Artist's designs a blend of romanized nouns. (e.g. Hikariha, Okamitsuki, Mizukaze, etc)
Please look into how naming conventions actually work if you plan on giving the character a Japanese name.
The Client is forbidden from naming the Artist's designs faux Japanese names with the intent of sounding "kinda asian". (e.g. Aikoru, Moichi, Tinomu, etc.)
While these names can technically exist with the correct kanji combinations, they are straight up FOUL!!!!!!!!!! I'm not even sure what sane Japanese parent would name their kid that.
The Client is forbidden from naming humanoid characters random Asian foods.... please........ it can be a nickname i dont care but please..................
While not mandatory, the Client is to avoid using those mom baby name sites you find on the first page of google upon searching "Japanese girl names that mean [x]". Please im begging. The majority of the time, the meanings listed are either entirely inaccurate, only take the most popular spelling into account, or are romanized oddly. https://japanese-names.info/ is a wonderful, easy to use site for finding good names !! Hot girls don't gatekeep. While all spellings in this site are accurate, note that some of the names themselves are fictional! (smth to note for all of my writers out there 🤞)
Final note on names: it is ok to make fictional names so as long as they sound realistic. For example, Yoisaki Kanade from Proseka has a fictional surname, meant to contrast the spelling of Asahina Mafuyu.
If the Artist finds the Client to be writing their character in a concerning manner that was not mentioned above, they will contact be contacted about it. Refusing to fix cultural insensitivity is strictly against TOS.

Section 3.3 - Blacklist

Do not trade the Artist's designs to any of these users, and do not add them to any of the listed species. Anyone personally afilliated with these people or groups are prohibited from interacting as well; This includes members of listed species! Few exceptions to this clause will be made. :

Species

Luminents | a horrible attempt at incorporating Japanese themes in a closed species. From the pseudo-Japanese words sprinkled throughout the lore, the unprompted insertion of Shinto imagery in the species logo, and the sole fact that Eevie_Inky is oddly obsessed with the culture as a whole-- Luminents has left a sour taste in my mouth. If you support this species, do not interact with me.
Aermerean Haven species | PSA. Personal bad experience with their staff. Also their species are just lame what can i say lol.
Skeleslimes, Demedics, Perfumies, Drink Devils | The founder of these species has a history of being manipulative and horrible to his staff.

Terrible depictions of kimono in their designs etc. I do not wish to find out if this person is Japanese or not. "Tomi is pronounced Tōmi. Like the O in Tokyo." My final straw with this one was having "Tomodachi" listed as a name you could call them on their pronouns page, as well as the surname of a Demid Slayer character (Tomioka).
Yoly (TH) | Stealing other people's designs from the platform VK and pretending that they are their own.
