TERMS OF SERVICE

By ordering my commissions, you agree to the following terms:

  • My commissions are mostly first come first serve, but I have the right to decline your request if I know that I couldn't do it.

COMMISSION USE

  • All works, by defaults, are for personal use only.

  • A $10 fee is added if the commission is used as an asset. (Asset = used as offline screen, panel, banner, etc. on Youtube, Twitch or any monetized platform)

  • A commercial fee of x2 the original price is needed if you use the art for commercial purpose. (Example: Personal commission price = $50 | Commercial fee: $50x2=$100, commercial commission price: $50+$100=$150)

  • A fee of 50% the original price is needed if the art is NSFW. (Example: Personal commission price = $50 | NSFW fee (50%) = $25, personal NSFW commission price: $50+$25=$75)

  • A rushing fee of $15+ is needed if you want me to finish it sooner than the expected time. (This fee depends on the complexity of the artwork.)

  • DO NOT use my art for NFT / AI training.

PAYMENT

  • Paypal is currently the only way for me to receive money internationally; I will send you an invoice if you're paying with Paypal.

  • Partial payment option is available for orders from $300 and above. You must send me a deposit of 70% of your total payment firsthand and the rest can be paid within the next month from your commission order date.

PROCESS

  • CHIBI + CHARACTER DESIGN COMMISSION: I will only start working on commission once I receive your payment fully.

  • ILLUSTRATION COMMISSION: You will send me a deposit of 30% the total price and I will start sketching your work. If you're happy with what I do, you can send me the remaining 70% and I will start with the work.

  • My process: sketch (1/3) > lineart (2/3) > color (3/3)

  • I will send you a picture of the sketch to make sure that you're happy with what you'll get. A maximum of 5 (five) times changes of any kind (either major or minor change) can be made within this step.

  • (Example: commissioner requests to change pose (major) and fix small props (minor) at the same time, that counts as one (1) time of change. Please make sure you let me know what you want as much as possible in one change)

  • In case of change exceed 5, I will cancel your commission and refund 70% of what you have paid.

  • Commission durations vary depending on its complexity and my schedule, but I will try to finish your commission in 2-12 weeks since I received the payment.

  • If I delay your commission for too long and/or I couldn't finish it, I will refund you according to the % of progress being left.

  • You can ask me for a WIP anytime the password is: canned cabbage. I will update you with a WIP by myself every time I finish a step, though. :-)

  • When finished, you can ask me once to change minor detail.

  • Credits are needed if you upload my art to anywhere (eg., Toyhou.se, Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook...) DO NOT CLAIM MY ART AS YOURS.

  • I will ask for your permission to post your commission on my social medias, but I have the right to put your commission on my portfolio as examples for my future clients.

ORDERING FORM

  • TO ORDER: Email me the correspondant form to [email protected]

  • Form can be found in each commission type section.

All comics are in English unless stated. They're really dumb, by the way.
