Terms of Service

Topics and Restrictions

Above I listed a number of topics that I’m either alright working with, or will not work with at all. If you have something in mind that is not listed, feel free to ask. At least all of the hard YES and NOs must be already there.

Payment

Prices are in USD, and payment is done via Paypal Invoice. Full upfront payment is required for orders below $60. Payment plans can be negotiated in orders over $150Partial payment must be made for me to start on bigger projects. At least half the total price of an order below $150 must be paid.

Progression and Updates

Depending on the starting date of the project and the lenght of it, the client may expect updates on Saturdays, for projects that take several weeks. Or within 3 days from the starting date if it's a single week project. Unsubstantial changes or adjustments to the initial sketch or linework may be delivered within a day or 2.

Additional Fees

Requesting too many changes, or very substantial adjustments to an order during the linework phase will result in an additional fee of $15, plus 2 more days to expected delivery time. If the change is requested during the coloring phase, the additional fee may be up to 20% of the price, plus 5 more days to expected delivery time.If I'm not provided with proper character references or end up designing a character from scratch, a Character Design fee will be applied corresponding to the character’s complexity. Refer to the DESIGN section of the Reference Sheet table under Prices and Examples.Orders including extreme fetishes such as hyper muscle or blob fat, vore, micro/macro, extra large genitals, breasts, butt, and so on will be applied an additional charge of half the price.Keeping a project private and unpublished will result in an additional 25% fee. You may choose to be labeled as anonymous without any additional charges.

Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellations after a project has already been started will result in a refund relative to the delivered progress, and only if the payment was made entirely upfront. Cancellations after a project has been completed are not acceptable and will not be refunded. Publishing the resulting product of a cancelled project is to my discretion, the details however, may remain private.

Only the client and I are authorized to publish the commissioned artworks, and both of us have the right to request the removal of an unauthorized publication.
