Toyhouse: Gummy_leeches

By commissioning me, you are stating that you have read and agreed to these terms.

Basic ToS:

• Payment expected within 24hrs.
• Paypal only for USD payments.
• USD commissions will take priority over point comms.
• When money is sent LET ME KNOW.
• Commissioner can re-upload the image with credits given to myself in the form of a link to my Insta/Toyhouse/ or Discord (MUST be a link)
• Artwork cannot be used commercially, or claimed as your own.
• Refunds given based on how much work is done. 
• MY WORK CANNOT BE USED FOR AI GENERATORS OR NFTs.

•Holds: I will hold any character for someone for about one week, you can tell me if you need longer, if you do NOT give me updates and communicate with me I have the right to terminate the hold and list the character again.

Reselling OC’s: You can re sell designs I have made as long as they rightfully belong to you, I request that you at least wait one month before you re sell out of courtesy. It is not needed but I would like to request you tell me whom you sell them to to keep track of them, once an OC is sold you can do what you please with them, such as re designing them or re naming them. Do not re sell an OC for more than you bought them for unless more art is made for them.

Returns: If for any reason you do not want the OC any longer and would like to return it to me DM me and I will accept it. 

SECTION I. IMAGE COPYRIGHT

1. I, the artist, retain full and exclusive rights to the original artwork. The client may not claim it as their own or use it for anything other than personal use.
2. All commissioned artwork is for noncommercial purpose only. Redistribution of my artwork for use in printed merchandise or as promotion of goods, services or social media pages is prohibited. If you have any questions about this, ask me before commissioning me.
3. Conditions for Reposting 
   • The client has my permission to repost the artwork wherever they would like, as long as proper credit is given (a link back to my Insta/Toyhouse/ or Discord) and my watermark/signature remains intact and unaltered.
4. Prohibited Actions
   • Altering my artwork in any way without asking for permission before hand, with the exception of cropping/resizing the image for an icon or other use.
   • Use my artwork as references for your own, whether tracing or re-purposing parts of the image.
   • Claiming the artwork as your own.
5. If these terms are broken, you will be privately blacklisted from commissioning me and reported.

SECTION II. PAYMENT INFORMATION

1. I accept payment in USD and DeviantArt Points. All USD payments will be taken via Paypal only and all DeviantArt Point payments will be taken via the commission widget. Do NOT send ANY points via Gift or Donate unless I specifically specify you to do so. Paying via Gift/Donate may result in your commission being cancelled, depending on how busy I am.
2. I alternatively will sometimes accept items for art that I want, like things off of an Amazon wishlist or steam games to enamel pins and keychains. ASK BEFOREHAND if you want to offer items instead.
3. You will be given 24 hours to pay after a sketch is shown or a quote is given. Non-payment within 24 hours will result in the commission being cancelled. Progress up to this point, if any, will be re-purposed as a YCH.
4. It is the commissioner's responsibility to tell me when the payment has been sent. Sometimes a payment will not fall through and I won't know about it. If you fail to tell me that you've sent the payment within 24 hours - and I know I absolutely haven't received the payment - then the 24 hour payment term applies to you.
5. Refund Policy
   • If the commission is cancelled (by me or the client) before work has started, then the client will receive a full refund.
   • If the client cancels the commission during progress, the amount refunded will be on a case-by-case basis and up to the artist’s discretion. I do have a rough basis for refunds:
     • Sketch: 90%
     • Line: 50%
     • Line and Flat Color: 0%
   • No refunds will be given for completed or nearly completed commissions.
   • The artist reserves the right to cancel a commission at anytime, for any reason, and without explanation.
   • If I cancel the commission due to my inability to complete it at any state, a full refund will be given.

SECTION III. CONTACT AND COMMUNICATION

1. Discussion of commissions can be conducted via Toyhouse dms, or Discord Chat, Steve-the-hackerman#6901
2. Visual Reference Guidelines
   • Client must provide at least one clear and concise visual reference; please supplement the visual reference with any important information I may need to know to correctly draw the character.
   • If you link to a gallery of your character’s artwork, I cannot promise your design will be done with 100% accuracy. Design interpretations may be inconsistent between images and lessen my ability to accurately draw your character. Shading on potential pieces will also play a part in this.

SECTION IV. WILL/WON'T DRAW

1. Below is a general guideline for what I will or will not draw. Please keep my art style in mind when ordering; I will not try to match another artist's or company's art style (example: Disney style, Pokemon style, etc)
   
   2. Allowed Content:

•Feral

•Gore

•Most Original Species

•Semi suggestive 

•Monsters (Depends on what they look like.)

•Pokemon (Depending) 

•Clothing

•Armor

•Anthro

•Humanoids (Depending) 

1. Disallowed Content
   • Characters intended to be or appearing underage in any sexual or suggestive context.
   • Nsfw
   • Mecha 
   • Humans
   • Extreme Fetishes 
   • Any sort of hateful content, such as racism, transphobia, homophobia, and characters with Nazi/Soviet/etc. imagery or paraphernalia.
   • Complex backgrounds

SECTION V. WORKFLOW PROCESS

1. I work best when given some artistic freedom to create an image based on the characters you provide. I am happy to match a scene or pose that you have in mind, but please allow and expect some variation.
2. Estimated date to completion. If there are any delays in completion of a commission, I will personally notify the customer.
   • Completion of most commissions are generally estimated to take no more than roughly 1 to 2 weeks. 
3. Works in Progress (WIPS). Comm WIPS will be sent to the client in a timely manner, once sent the client has to approve the initial WIP before work will continue. 
4. Revisions and edits. If the commission type includes a sketch approval stage, any major changes or revisions must be made at this stage; this includes any significant changes to a character’s pose or body shape, or redrawing parts of the image.
   • After the sketch has been approved, no major edits or changes will be made. If the commissioner requests additional edits after the approved sketch, a price for the edits may be discussed.
   • If I, the artist, make any errors in the character design, accessories, or any other visual elements specified in the provided visual references, I will make these edits at no additional cost.
5. If you do not want me to post your commission online, you must tell me when you order.

Thank you for your interest in my artwork. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions!
