Conditions/Terms of use


   I reserve the right to refuse to do business with a commissioner if I feel I am not capable of drawing or painting what they requested in a satisfactory manner, or if they have gained a bad reputation among other artists, or shown me personally that they are a very unpleasant person to work for (this only applies for notoriously bad customers).

   Keep in mind that I won't always work on things in the order in which they were commissioned, and while I do try to make older commissions a priority, I generally work on the project that most inspires me, but I tend to work on multiple commissions at once. These may take quite some time to complete, especially if it is a larger piece or if I am busy working (or trying to get a messy house in order, as I am doing as I write this). PLEASE, if there is a certain date the piece needs to be done by, let me know as far ahead of time as possible and I will make it a priority. Just keep in mind that the less time you give me, the more likely it is that the quality will suffer, so please don't abuse this.

   For larger drawings/paintings I will submit a sketch for approval, you may ask for me to make a maximum of 2 major revisions during the sketch phase, after which I will charge you for any revisions, the amount will depend on the size and complexity of the revision. Revisions later in the drawing process will cost more than those done in the sketch phase. If for some reason I am unable to complete the commission for my own reasons I will refund you fully.

   If you cancel the commission I will refund you for the work that has not been done (example: you commission me for a painting and cancel after I finish inking, I will refund you for the price of a painting minus the price of an inked piece). I will probably not provide progress scans for smaller pieces (ACEOs), unless you request them, in which case I will be happy to send them to you.

   I also reserve the right to display the drawing/painting in any of my online galleries unless we've reached a previous agreement.

   I alone retain production and distribution rights for my art, meaning anything I paint or draw (unless we have reached a previous agreement, or you commissioned me before I updated the agreement) I can display, print and sell, or use to advertise my work (if the work contains your personal characters I will credit you as their creator wherever possible within reason). If you are not ok with this, you can contact me and we can try to work something out. If the commission is for something less specific than an established character and the designing is left up to me (example, if someone asked me to draw them a purple dragon with feathers and left the rest of the design up to me) I would also retain the right to draw that character/species again in the future and profit from it if I wished. You may display work I have done for you on your personal website, deviantArt, furaffinity, Myspace or similar site as long as it is the watermarked version and you credit me and link back to one of my sites, you may also print a copy for your personal use. If I have made you an icon you may use it on Livejournal, deviantArt, Furaffinity, etcetera. Once again, outside of the situations outlined above you may not distribute my work without my permission.
