TERMS OF SERVICE - Last updated Apil 4, 2021


As of April 4, 2021, all commissions, art trades, art games, art requests, and other relevant artwork exchanges will fall under this TOS. 

This TOS may also be found here.

I. Introduction

1. By submitting both a commission form and a payment for my work, you agree that you understand these terms.

2. If any individual wishes to obtain my artwork and does not agree with part of this TOS, they may message me directly to settle the issue and potentially void a part of this TOS.

3. These TOS are subject to change without public announcement. However, I will notify active commissioners if any changes will apply to them throughout the rest of their commission process.

4. If a commissioner breaks a term, I reserve the ability to take action to protect my rights as an artist.

II. References and Forms

1. FOR CUSTOM ARTWORK, Commissioners must provide an accurate, up-to-date reference for their character(s). If the reference is not accurate, this should be noted in the initially submitted form.

a. If a commissioner does wish for artwork to be edited after it has already been complete, I may be willing to do so for an additional fee, but this should be discussed privately.

b. The commissioner is responsible for reference quality. I do not accept commissions for which I cannot use the provided reference(s). This includes text-only references.

c. I will only make major changes throughout the commission process to match clear visual references.

d. The commissioner is responsible for ALL inaccuracies in their references/descriptions.

2. No other artist may edit art in any way without my explicit permission.

a. Exceptions to this statement include "editable" works, such as reference bases and background packs.

III. Artist's Rights & Copyright

1. I retain the copyright to all of my work and require some form of credit or attribution when the art is posted by any person other than myself.

a. My toyhou.se profile (https://toyhou.se/Hubble) is the preferred URL for attribution on any website. However, other active profiles are acceptable.

b. If my art is cropped for an avatar or similar banner and my signature is no longer visible, credit should be provided elsewhere in the profile. (ie. a forum signature or profile description)

2. I retain the right to use commissioned art as example art for future commissions. All character credit will be given to the rightful owner of the character.

a. This includes any images containing the artwork throughout the drawing process.

3. My artwork should not be used by commissioners on any non-virtual without my explicit permission.

4. My artwork should not be used for profit by any person other than myself, as the artist.

5. My artwork is NEVER to be depicted on or used as a non-fungible token.

IV. Commission Cancellation

1. I reserve the full right to cancel any commission at any time.

2. If the commissioner has chosen to give an up-front payment before the cancelled commission was to begin, they may request a refund. Refunds may be full or partial depending on the specific circumstances surrounding cancellation.

3. The commissioner may cancel the commission at any time as well, as long as they notify me through a direct message on the same platform they are using to commission me.

4. If a commissioner is not willing to communicate for over a month, the commission will be automatically cancelled.

a. This also includes users who are banned from our platform of communication.

V. Wait Time

1. My commissions tend to have a wait time of 2-6 months, unless given a set deadline. This is subject to change depending on the type of art requested, and commissioners have the full right to message me asking for estimated times.

a. Commissioners who repeatedly ask for new time estimations are subject to having their commission cancelled, as I cannot repeatedly estimate this information.

VI. Artistic Statments

1. My work will be done in my style. I work under the assumption that the commissioner is aware of what my previous artwork looks like.

a. I do not accept requests to work in the style of another artist.

b. I reserve a level of artistic liberty in order to make a character/design match my style.

c. If a commissioner is seeking art to a higher level of reference accuracy than what I typically provide, this should be noted at the time of commission and may incur an upcharge.

2. I refuse to draw any image which promotes hate or discrimination.

a. I will not draw characters who depict racist, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise harmful stereotypes.

3. Commissioners may request process updates at the time of commissioning.

VII. Commissioner's Rights

1. All commissioners have the full rights to:

a. Contact me to potentially void any part of this TOS.

b. Cancel their commission at any time.

c. Request a refund if the commission is cancelled.

d. Request changes which align with the statements of section II-1.

e. Contact me with any questions or concerns related to their commission.
