Pricing
My art prices are subject to change based on my availability to work on commissions and my desire to work on certain types of commissions. My price spreadsheet is the only place my prices are guaranteed to be accurate.
The prices I have listed are the minimum for that commission type (not including sales or discounts). Complex characters and complicated requests may increase the price.Payment
I mainly use Paypal to accept USD or GBP payments. If paying with Paypal, please do not put anything in your note besides your name/contact information.
I take payment upfront. I do not work on unpaid commissions anymore. I will do partial payment plans for all commissions, always splitting 60% payment before and 40% after completion.
Do NOT send payment until I have confirmed that I have accepted your order and added your order to the queue.Refunds
I do not issue refunds once I have started your order. If you would like to cancel your order before I have begun working on it, I will refund you and remove you from the queue. Once the art is completed, refunds will not be given unless I have made a grave mistake on your commissioned piece and either I am unable to redo it or you are not interested in a redone commission.
You may ask for one re-draw of any details after I complete a DIGITAL piece, which does not apply to traditional media pieces.Commercial Rights
While the completed art piece you commissioned does belong to you, you may not profit off of my art in any way, shape, or form. This includes selling prints, stickers, or other merch with my art on it. This applies regardless of your ownership of the character in the image.NFTs
I will never participate in the buying or selling of NFTs and strictly prohibit my art from being bought or sold as NFTs
