Terms and conditions outlined in this document

You are of legal age and have the financial capability to purchase digital goods and services

You will not file for disputes or chargebacks and agree to contact me first if you want a refund or corrections for your commission

If you're using my works, remember to credit me!

I reserve the right to use any of my finished pieces and process leading up to my finished pieces in my portfolio(with an exception for those who commission and pay a privacy fee).

I reserve the right to accept or decline any offers that have been made in exchange for my works.

I reserve the right to cancel any offers for my work should the need arise. A refund is in order if the work is paid for.

If you commission me, especially for commercial works, I will browse your social media profiles wherever and whenever I can. This is a safety precaution in order to filter out possible bullies/bigots/scammers/other dubious entities that I would not like my work to be associated with.

Generally, my illustrated works will be signed. If it is, please do not remove said signatures.

You cannot under any circumstance claim that you made my work.

I don't accept crypto for payment.

I do not support NFTs. If you see my work on an NFT in any capacity, THAT’S NOT ME — it’s a fraud.

I do not work with AI generated designs. They are too risky in terms of copyright, developed by companies that are too shady in terms of business ethics, and the results are too dubious in terms of consent and ownership. Selling them to clients feels like a scam.

Slots are granted through direct message(DM) inquiries on any of my social media accounts or through a VGen.co/Artistree.io request.

Accepted clients will be notified and sent an email and/or DM on the social media/commission hosting site used to first contact me.

The client will be given 7 days to reply to the email/DM to establish contact. If a client fails to respond within the allotted time, the commission slot is forfeited.

Invoices will be sent via VGen/Artistree or directly via PayPal.

Slots are officially reserved and work will begin once payment is made. Payment plans can be discussed.

For illustration commissions, the price must be paid in full.

For commissions worth $150 or over, installment plans made of up to 2 installments are an option.

For Live2D art or rigging, installment plans of up to 4 installments(2 for Live2D art, 2 for rigging) are an option.

If you choose to pay via installments, you will only receive the full product once full payment has been made.

Updates will come in the form of pictures, videos, or test models and will be sent through DMs or email. Clients will also be given access to a project tracker on Trello.

The commission is considered done once the final product has been approved by the client or has ghosted contact for 14 days after payment(grace periods may be given).

If the commission has a specific deadline, it is encouraged to tell me as soon as possible.

Illustration commissions are generally done within 7 days to 1 month of starting the commission. Illustration commissions with a deadline sooner than 7 days are considered rush orders.

Character design commissions are usually done within 2 weeks to 1 month. Character design commissions with a deadline sooner than 14 days are considered rush orders.

Do note that this artist takes breaks during the weekends, please do not expect much work done if it is a Saturday or Sunday.

This artists area is highly prone to natural disasters. If updates become infrequent, feel free to check up.

If the artist believes they won’t be able to finish the commission before a deadline, they will contact the client to state their reason and ask for an extension.

If the client refuses the extension, the artist will issue a refund.

Please note that the client or artists legal name, country of origin, address, and other personal information may come up and be known to either party during the commission process, specifically during payment if the clients PayPal account is not a business account.

For illustrations, simply do not remove the artists signature.

For commercial works such as Live2D works, character designs, illustrations, or merch designs, the client must give credit. Put a link or handle that leads back to my website or accounts in their social media biographies, item descriptions, Twitch and/or Youtube channel descriptions.

Character design commissions already include commercial rights to said design.

The client may use Live2D works for commercial purposes such as streaming & social media graphics.

The client may not use any of my works for NFT related activities.

The client is not to use my works in training AI models. I do not support the companies who made the current models for AI image generators. I may or may not change my views depending on how it develops further in regards to business ethics but until then, assume I don't use nor want to use my works to train AI.

If the client files a chargeback, the artist has the right to modify the work and resale to cover the cost.

The artist has the right to use their work in their portfolio, promotion of their other works, and posting of WIPs with the exception of those who choose to hold the commission under a nondisclosure agreement which may incur a fee. This fee makes up for the cost of lost marketing opportunities and inquiries.

The artist is allowed to use assets available to all artists and models.

The artist is NOT allowed to resell finished & approved commissions.
