GENERAL INFO


Please understand that you automatically agree to my TOS if you do anything that applies to it (ex. purchasing from me). Choosing to ignore or not read my tos is not an excuse for breaking it, accidentally or on purpose. Also remember to just have basic etiquette and not do things that are obviously rude or unwanted, such as tracing art or copying designs. I can block or blacklist you at any time for any reason. If you are randomly blocked or blacklisted you most likely did something that made me uncomfortable, you can ask why but I do not have to provide a reason.


Please remember to have basic etiquette and mutual respect.
If you are just a trash person do not interact with me in any way.

BLACKLIST


☆ Permanently blacklisted users will never be removed from my black list
☆ Temporarily blacklisted users will have a date for when they will be removed
☆ People can be blacklisted for many reasons, the main two are breaking my tos or be a generally trash person
☆ I can blacklist people for any reason or no reason and they can not ask to be removed
If you feel you have been blacklisted for no reason you can contact me once, after being responded to I ask you to not contact me again if or while you are blacklisted.

ART TOS


please make sure you read my entire tos before you decide to commission me.


breaking my art tos will result to you being blacklisted and banned from commissioning me
this page was last updated on 9/13/23 (Added OWED ART section)

If you commission me you are automatically agreeing to these terms. This page has a latest update date, more information on tos updates are available on my Instagram stories or / and toyhouse bulletins.
The most recent updated sections are as followed:
- owed art (9/13/23)
- ??? (date)
- ??? (date)
I will refer to myself, the artist, in first person (I, Me, Myself). I will refer to you, the client, in second person (you, your, yours). If you have any questions please contact me.GENERAL
- I have the right to refuse a commission for any reason, acceptance is not guaranteed.
- You understand that you are purchasing digital artwork and paying for the time and experience of the artist.
- If you do not reply within 24 hours after contacting me to commission your commission will be cancelled
- My prices can change. If a purchased item’s price is changed after you buy it, you will not be charged more or less. The price it was when you purchased it is the price you pay.
- Completed commissions can not and will not be refunded. However, I will make edits if it's fixing something that I messed up (such as a marking, scar or colors)
- Once artwork is completed you cannot edit it without my consent
- Please make sure that all the references and information you send me for your commission is accurate
WILL & WONT
These are my guidelines for what I will and will not draw. Please do not push my boundaries.
- Contact me if anything you wish to commission me for is not on these lists
- Just because you’ve seen me draw any thing under “will not draw” does not mean I will do it for a commission.
WILL DRAW
- Furries (anthro / feral)
- Pets
- Humans / humanoids (not at the moment)
- Fan characters
- Animated gif
- Uncommon animals
- Pokémon ocs
- LGBTQ+ friendly
- Ship art
- Mild / moderate gore
WILL NOT DRAW
- Hate on communities
- Mecha (simple mecha and fnaf are ok)
- Humans / humanoids (not at the moment)
- Complex detailed background
- Big muscles
- Heavy gore (candy gore or light gore is ok)
- Nsfw (I am a minor)
- Anything I do not feel confident or comfortable in drawing
OWED ART
- If you agree to accept art from me you are still agreeing to this tos.
- If you offer art in exchange for something (such as a character or an art trade) you automatically agree to this section of my tos.
- The sections below refer to when I owe an individual art and when someone owes me art.
I OWE YOU
- Owed art is second on my priority list, commissions are first. I’ll most likely do both at the same time but you understand that commissions are my top priority.
- Owed art will most likely be done within 2 weeks - 6 months, I rarely need six months but seeing that I’m currently in high school, caring for and training a dog, and running an art business many of my days are very busy.
- I will rarely take over a year to complete owed art unless it it a lot of art. Currently it will only be a month or two unless I have art block or something else is happening.
- If you have a rule such as you will not take art or black list anyone who takes over a month or two months, etc to complete owed art I will not do art for you (see two points above), I would rather not risk that just in case something happens that causes me to work slower than usual.
- If owed art will take me longer than I stated here I will inform you.
YOU OWE ME
- I will give you up to 6 months to complete owed art, if you need more time please inform me.
- If you take longer than the time above without any explanation you will be given a warning and after two weeks I will simply cancel the owed art.
- If you are repeatedly unable to complete your owed art in a timely manner you will be blacklisted
COMMUNICATION
- I use discord, Twitter, and Instagram dms for commissions (discord preferred). However if the client does not have any of these I can communicate via email, replies will be slower on email.
- If you contact me I would prefer you give me all communication options just in case.
- Please make sure the main contact method you give me is something you are active on.
- If you cannot or will not communicate with me for commission approvals I will continue without your input. For more information check “APPROVAL PROCESS”.
- I cannot stress how important communication is, please do not commission me if you don’t plan on communicating well.
PAYMENT & REFUNDS
- Payment must be received in full before I start your commissions unless you have a payment plan
- If your commission is over $150, a payment plan can be discussed but there must be a down payment of at least $50
- Not paying within 24 hours will result in temporary blacklist. (unless there is an emergency)
- Not paying the cancellation fee ($5) for canceling an already started commission will result in a permanent blacklist.
- Once a commissions is bought there are no refunds after the sketch is sent and approved unless I cannot compete the commission
- I can cancel your commission and refund you at any time
- Do not request a PayPal charge back if you are getting a refund, I will transfer the money myself. Requesting a charge back will result in a permanent blacklist
- If you request a PayPal charge back for no reason you will be permanently blacklisted and I will provide PayPal with proof that you are attempting to scam me
CANCELLED COMMISSIONS
- Commissions are automatically cancelled if you do not respond to me within 24 hours after requesting a commission
- I have the right to cancel and refund a commission for any reason
- If a cancelled commission was a mostly complete sketch, the sketch may be repurposed for another commission or artwork (removing any elements that belong to the client’s character)
- If the sketch has been started already there is a cancellation fee of $5
QUEUE
- Please check my trello for my public queue and progress updates on your own commission
- Queue positions are somewhat random. Priority commissions will be first and then depending on how early you commissioned me and how often you communicate with me you will be earlier or later in the queue.
- I usually have around 8 commissions I am focusing on at a time, after those are done I take a 5 day break.
- The wait time for your commission to be done can be anywhere from a few days to 3 months. It depends on how full my queue is and how busy I am with other things in my day to day life.
- Feel free to ask for updates once a week if you are the “Doing” category on trello, however I will send you updates to approve and and updates in general
WORK IN PROGRESS
- Work in progress updates or WIPs are progress updates sent to the client, you will usually receive two or three WIPs to approve, however more WIPs may be sent depending on what you purchase or if you are getting a custom
- You can ask for one once a week if you are in my doing queue (your commission may not have been worked on further yet so you won’t receive another wip)
- Clients can make changes before the sketch is approved but any major changes after that will cost +$5 or for animated commissions +$2 for each frame
- If the client needs the art completed by a deadline they must express this at the time of purchase. I consider these a priority commission and rush fees will apply.
- Review images may be smaller than the finish piece and have a large watermark on top
WIP APPROVAL
- Sketch: Once I complete the sketch for you commission you will be send a WIP to approve, changes can be made in this phase
- Line art: You will not be sent a WIP in the phase and changes will not be made
- Coloring: Once I finish the coloring I will send you a WIP to approve to ensure that I got the markings and colors correct. I will not change any coloring once it is approved unless it is something small like an eye color or mismatched paw
- Shading: You will not be sent a WIP in the phase and changes will not be made
- Fine details: After I complete this phase you will be sent the finished product, if you have any problems with it feel free to tell me however not many changes can be made at this phase unless it is my mistake.
If I do not get a response within 24 hours about approving a part of a commission I will continue without your input.COMPLETED COMMISSIONS
- Finished commissions will be sent on the communication app that we use to communicate about your commission however I can send it by email if the client would like that
- Clients can request small edits such as simple color adjustments but large changes will not and can not be done unless it is an error that I made
- Once artwork is complete you can make small edits to it (ex. cropping, adding text, changing values, hue, contrast, etc)
- Do not majorly edit any completed artwork without my consent
- Do not claim that you drew or made your purchased commission, even if you edited it
- I will not redo a commission unless it was a mistake on my part
- Understand that when you purchase a commission you will receive a digital drawing, you are not buying a physical product
- All characters in my artwork belong to their respective owners unless it is of my own personal characters
If you have a problem with anything in regards to the commissioned piece please tell me right away so we can find a solution together.QUOTES
- A quote is a price estimate for a commission, after you request a commission I will give you a quote on how much it will cost (however you should add up how much it will cost yourself, I do it to ensure you know how much you are paying)
- If there is an artwork that you see me do that does not have a commission option you can ask for a quote on how much it will cost to do something similar
- After receiving a quote you must agree whether you will pay it or not. If you agree, you must pay within 24 hours and then will be added to my queue, if you change your mind then I will give the commission slot to someone else
PRIORITY SLOTS
- Priority commissions are commissions that are automatically at the top of my queue. You have the choice to add a deadline that I will try my best to finished before the date
- I only have 3 priority commissions slots open at any given time
- You are required to dm at least two weeks in advanced for a priority commission which pits you at the top of my queue, I will then need to know the requirements and deadline if you have one.
- Priority commissions add 50% of the overall total of the commission.
PUBLISHING
- I reserve the right to post any commissioned artwork to any social platform or use them for advertising, however I will hold off in posting them if they are a gift, surprise, etc if you tell me before hand
- The client can print their purchased artwork for themselves so long as they don’t profit from it. Do not sell any thing with my art on it, more info under “COMMERCIAL USE”
- The client can post my art on their own social media accounts, character archives, or storing websites (such as toyhouse or refsheet) so long as the client keeps my signature intact and credits me somewhere or on the post.
- The client can crop their purchased artwork for private use, such as social media banners, icons, videos, backgrounds, or wallpapers so long as the client keeps my signature intact and credits me somewhere
- When crediting me I would prefer you use my account on whatever platform you post or use it on but if I am not on the site then you can use my carrd to credit me
COMMERCIAL USE

- I must give written permission for a client to use my work commercially before they use my art for profit, sales, or a business logo

- Commercial use is non-transferable and are exclusive to the original client
- Using any of my artwork for NFTS, AI [including being used as learning data], or cryptocurrency is strictly prohibited. I could care less whether you profit from it or not, I will not create art for these things as I do not support it or want my art to be used in that way
Currently I am not comfortable with my art being used commercially, this section is for when or if I decide I ever do. Do not sell anything with my artwork on it. I may however allow select people to use my art.BREAKING THE TOS
