Please read the terms carefully

1. GENERAL TERMS

• All drawings may or will include a subtle watermark that you may not remove.

• I might record the drawing process and post it on social media.

• Prices are subject to change from the base rate of $55 depending on demand and complexity of work.

• I have the right to reject any order that I do not feel comfortable drawing for any reason.

2. PAYMENT

• Currency accepted is USD only and can be paid through PayPal or my website, if you are chosing to pay throgh my website I will make a listing for you and you will purchase that listing.

  • I might not include all the details of the listing and it might just simply be a listing with no pictures or a random picture and the name of it will be "Commission". 

  • If I'm working on mutiple commissions I will add your name after commission to distinguish different commissions.

• The Commission must be paid either 100% upfront or split 50% upfront and 50% after sketch approval.

• Don't send me any payment before I have agreed to give you a slot and requested you to send me the payment.

​3. PROCESS AND DELIVERY

• I will notify you when I have started work on your commission. At this point, refunds are not possible. (see point 7 further below for more info on refunds)

While I'm working on your commission I will keep in touch with you for updates and review to make sure I make it just right for you! The amount of review depends on the complexity of the work. 

During the reviews, you will see work-in-progress images which will usually include a watermark and be smaller than the finished piece. The time it takes to finish your commission varies from 1 week - 3 months depending on factors such as health, the complexity of the commissioned piece, other work and con seasons. If anything comes up that will slow the progress of the initially estimated delivery time I will let you know asap.

Once the piece is finished you will receive the full-resolution image. Note that there is no physical product ;3

 

4. REVISIONS
 
You get 3 rounds of changes on the commissioned piece included in the price during the sketch phase. A fee will be added if you want something changed on the final drawing - unless a misunderstanding from my side has been made.

If you would like for me to change something in the drawing you have previously approved, I will charge you a fee to change it. The amount of the extra charge depends on the change you want me to make and is usually based on my hourly wage.

If your references are unclear and you would like me to direct the creative vision entirely, I will add an extra charge of $15. i.e. "Just draw a cute character that's blonde"

 
​
5. COPYRIGHT / USAGE POLICY
 
I, Effy (the artist), claim the rights to the produced drawing, not the buyer. Therefore I am allowed to use the copyrighted artwork to: 

Promote myself with it everywhere

Publish books with it (artbooks, etc.)

Display it everywhere to my liking (website, social media, etc.)

Post it wherever I want

The buyer is purchases the right to:

Use the commissioned piece for personal use unless agreed otherwise (you can upload it on all your social media profiles, forums, etc.)

Print the artwork and claim the character(s) as their own, but not the artwork itself. You are not forced to give me credit when you post it but it is very appreciated. 

The following is considered copyright infringement:

Reproducing/using the copyrighted artwork commercially - means making money off it in any way.

Claiming the artwork as your own

Removing my signature from the artwork

Altering the artwork without my consent
 

 

If you would like to purchase a commercial or otherwise different license, please email me with your request.

6. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
 

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 :3

I am willing to change some of my terms for you if you ask before I start on your commission. If you, e.g., do not want me to post your art anywhere, we can discuss this.

 

​

7. REFUND / CANCELLATION POLICY
 
The buyer is not allowed a refund once I start work on the commission.

If for any reason I am unable to start or complete your commission you will receive a full refund. 

If you cancel your order before I start work, you will get a full refund.

If you would like a refund, do not request a Paypal chargeback. Contact me and I will transfer the money back to you myself through Paypal. 

If you request a Paypal chargeback at any point, you will lose all rights to the commissioned piece and I have the full right to profit further from it in any way. Furthermore, you will be blacklisted from commissioning me again. 

 

If the buyer violates any of the terms agreed upon above they will lose all the rights to the artwork commissioned by me, Effy (the artist). If you have a problem with any of these terms, they may be altered. Contact me through email for further negotiations.
