DESIGN RULES

by owning one of my designs you agree & submit to these rules 

  • Do not resell a design of mine for more than its original purchase value (which can be found in ownership logs), unless it has additional artwork which may be factored into the worth. 
  • I allow light editing/drawing over of my artwork/designs, but as long as it's small changes and nothing drastic such as complete recoloring. 
  • If editing a design of mine, please keep the original artwork in the gallery (do not delete it but it may be hidden).
  • Do not duplicate a design's profile or create other versions of it. I do not allow co-owns UNLESS they are specificed at time of original and direct purchase.
  • Do not claim a design of mine as your own or take heavy inspiration from it. If you have questions about referencing my art, you may always message me first.
  • Do not erase/remove/modify my watermark "Knit.e" from the original artwork in any way, shape, or form.

COMMISSIONS AND CUSTOMS

information regarding commissioning me

  • I do customs but they are first come, first serve only. I announce openings on bulletins here on Toyhouse OR you may message me directly here and ask. 
  • My customs range from base customs to complex refs, an official price sheet will be posted soon.
  • I usually ask for payment after I have completed your custom and you have approved it. After payment I will transfer it to your TH.
  • If you refuse to pay for an already completed custom or reject it, I may repurpose or resell the design in any way.
  • If unhappy with a custom, you are allowed to ask for any changes or additions to the custom of your choice. I allow 1 complete redo per custom.
  • Please allow 1-2 week turn around time for your custom. You are welcome to ask for updates at any time.
  • I do not refund or "take back" customs, please keep this in mind before agreeing to work with me.
  • Regarding regular artwork commissions, I rarely take these. I heavily prefer to do customs.

MY ARTWORK

these rules apply to both adopt artwork and all other artwork I create

  • Each adopt I create has its own unique lines (unless it is a base adopt, which is always specified) and has its own unique color palette and design.
  • Do not trace my art to create your own adopts.
  • Do not heavily reference my artwork and style. By this I mean don't rip my work off to the point where it's mistakable with my art.
  • Do not claim my artwork as your own and please properly credit me.
  • I only upload my artwork to these sites: ToyHouse, and sometimes Instagram. If you see it anywhere else it is theft or someone posing as me.
  • If you have an issue or concern with one of my designs or artworks, please contact me and I will be happy to sort it out with you.

PAYMENT AND BUSINESS

by offering on an adopt of mine you agree & submit to these rules

  • I only accept USD through PayPal.
  • I accept payment through invoice only, however on rare occasions I may ask you to send in an alternative way.
  • If I do not get a response after contacting you within 24h, the adopt will go to someone else.
  • I do not refund adopt payments, or any payments in general.
  • Please specifiy payment plans in your original comment/bid. My maximum hold time is 1 month or less.
  • I may refuse your payment for any reason.
  • My adopt auctions are public however I accept private bids through messages.
  • After you send me payment for an adopt I will transfer the design to your ToyHouse within 24h.
Questions? Feel free to leave a comment or message me privately.

Hello! Just wondering but, do you have any idea when this guy was originally made? He wasn’t uploaded to toyhouse by you, so I just wondered. Thanks if you answer! I just like to know how old ocs are 

Hello! I was wondering if you’d provide original files by request? I’m interested in buying a design of yours second hand but it appears a previous owner deleted its original design!

depends on the design!

It’s this one c: ! I bought them regardless, but I loved their original palette so thought I’d ask!

check ur notifs! i uploaded the original file

woooo thank you so much! I really appreciate it!!

What’s your policy on commercial use? For things such as animations, webcomics, etc !

people who buy my designs have full rights!

Does this go for people who have traded for your designs as well or just people who’ve bought them from you directly? :o just want to make sure i dont get it mixed up !!

goes for traded as well

Do you have your price sheet? (I want to know how much I need to save up!!)

Hello!! I’m so sorry for the random message ^^’ I didn’t see this anywhere in your TOS so I thought I’d ask you directly. I own one of your designs (IC) and I wanted to ask if I’d be allowed to make a closed specie version of him as well? :0 they’d of course be bound together and if I hypothetically ever traded them, the other person would get both versions. I’d of course also have the MYO ticket for the specie

yes thats fine

Thank you so much!!!

What are your current rules on co-owning?

Heyo!! I don't know if you will see this but I just want to make you aware of an art thief on DA. They have stolen about 10 of your characters and are asking 10$ for each!! No one has bought them yet and I am keeping an eye as to prevent anyone from buying unknowingly. Just wanted to make sure you knew so you could ask em to stop or smt, or report them. Their acc name: Tatsuyya (I actually just checked and it seems they have removed all the art, but if you want to talk to em or smt TvT... my arts' never been stolen so idk what u do lol)

Do you have a blacklist?

Hello! I was wondering if you could toggle this character so I can advertise to trade them?

What are the commercial rights to your adopts? (Especially on-base ones?) I have one design from you and I wanted to get a VTube model for them, but I can’t find commercial use TOS on here

i have yet to make a section dedicated to commercial rights, however i would be perfectly okay w a VTube model being made of one of my designs!

Okay! Thank you so much omg!

Hi! I went to check out your Twitter but it says that account no longer exists. Is there another account you use or a better place to follow your art? <3

aa hi! i edited the ic's design into this and i saw in ur tos that completely recoloring your art wasn't allowed, i mostly added a filter to the image so i was wondering would the image count as completely recolored and if this would be a valid redesign? ><

edit, i forgot to add the ic so sorry! ;;0;

aa i just added the ic! sorry i forgot to before ;;0;

since it’s an old design it’s fine, just as long as you have the original image in the gallery 

alr! tysm!!

Hi! Just wondering if personal art does count in the character's value log? "

  • " Do not resell a design of mine for more than its original purchase value (which can be found in ownership logs), unless it has additional commissioned artwork which may be factored into the worth. " 

sorry, only artwork that was commissioned 

mey

ok I see!! Thanks for clearing this up <3

hi! do you have a blacklist + if so, is there any owners / prev owners of ur designs we should avoid? i don’t wanna accidentally sell a design to a blacklisted user or something haha

i don’t have a blacklist as of right now

yea of course!! thanks for bringing this to my attention i had no idea abt themes on TH so i’ll be fixing it up soon

this character has an alternative design made by one of the previous owners, its very different to the original design but it still keeps most of the original palette, i was just wondering if this is a violation of your tos and if i should hide the image or not

that’s alright! i believe i have approved it a while ago
