Please read the terms carefully
​
1. GENERAL TERMS
-
All drawings will include a subtle watermark that you may not remove.
-
I may record the drawing process and share it on social media.
-
Prices are subject to change based on demand and complexity.
Base Prices:
-
Line Art: $20
-
Flats: $30
-
Basic Shading: $55
​
I reserve the right to decline any commission request for any reason.
2. PAYMENT
​
-
Accepted currency is USD, payable via PayPal, my website, or Ko-fi.
-
If you choose to pay via PayPal, I will charge 50% of the full price upfront, and the remaining 50% after we finalize the sketch (once the pose and composition are confirmed).
-
If additional fees arise during the process (e.g., adding extra sketch rounds, additional characters, changing the background, etc.), these extra charges will be added to the second payment.
-
-
If you choose to pay through my website or Ko-fi, I will charge the full base price upfront.
-
However, if additional fees are added later (e.g., extra characters, background upgrades), I will invoice you separately before final delivery — once the sketch has been approved and the adjustments are finalized.
-
-
Please do not send any payment before I have confirmed your slot and requested payment.
3. PROCESS AND DELIVERY
​​
-
I will notify you when I begin work on your commission. From this point forward, refunds are no longer available (see Section 7 for refund policy).
-
I will provide updates and progress checks throughout the process to ensure the artwork meets your expectations. The frequency of updates depends on the complexity of your commission.
-
During the review phase, you will receive watermarked, lower-resolution work-in-progress images.
-
Completion time varies from 1 week to 3 months, depending on factors such as health, complexity, workload, and convention season. If any delays occur, I will notify you as soon as possible.
-
Once completed, you will receive:
-
A full-resolution digital file (either PSD or Procreate file, depending on what I used)
-
A smaller JPEG file optimized for online sharing
-
​
Note: This is a digital product—no physical items will be shipped! ;3
​
4. REVISIONS
-
You are entitled to 3 rounds of revisions during the sketch phase, included in the base price.
-
Please note: Since you only have 3 rounds, I encourage you to be clear and decisive with your feedback.
-
-
Additional revisions after the final piece is completed will incur an extra fee, unless the issue is due to a misunderstanding on my part.
-
If you request changes to something you already approved:
-
An additional fee will apply based on the extent of the change and my hourly rate.
-
-
If your references are unclear and you would like me to fully direct the creative vision (e.g., “Just draw a cute blonde character”):
-
An extra charge of $15 will be added.
-
This $15 fee also includes one additional adjustment round (giving you 4 revision rounds instead of 3 during the sketch phase).
-
No charge applies if your description is clear or you’re comfortable with my interpretation.
-
​
5. COPYRIGHT / USAGE POLICY
I, Effy (the artist), retain full rights to all commissioned artwork. I may:
-
Use the artwork to promote myself (e.g., social media, portfolio)

Include it in publications (e.g., artbooks)

Display it anywhere (e.g., website, exhibitions)
The buyer receives personal use rights only, unless otherwise agreed. You may:
-
Share the artwork on social media or forums
-
Print it for personal use
-
Claim the character(s) as your own, but not the artwork itself

Credit is appreciated but not required.
The following is considered copyright infringement:

6. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
If you encounter any issues with your commission, contact me right away so we can work out a solution together :3
I am open to adjusting certain terms before starting your commission. For example, if you don’t want me to post your commission publicly, just let me know!
7. REFUND / CANCELLATION POLICY
-
The buyer is not eligible for a refund once I start working on the commission.
-
If, for any reason, I am unable to start or complete your commission, you will receive a full refund.
-
Refund breakdown based on payment and progress:
-
If you cancel before I begin, you will receive a full refund of the amount paid.
-
For example, if you paid 50% upfront and I have not started the sketch, you will receive a full refund of that 50%.
-
If you paid 100% upfront and I have not started anything, you will receive a full refund of the entire 100%.
-
-
If you cancel after I have started or completed the sketch, the initial 50% payment is non-refundable. If you paid in full (100%) at the beginning, you will receive a 50% refund, which covers the uncompleted portion.
-
-
No refunds will be issued after sketch approval and once I move into finalizing the commission.
-
Please do not file a PayPal chargeback. If you need a refund, contact me directly and I will process it through PayPal.
-
Filing a chargeback will result in the loss of all rights to the commissioned artwork, and I reserve the right to use it however I wish. Additionally, you will be blacklisted from commissioning me in the future.
