Terms of Service for (Private) Commissions

Currency accepted is USD ONLY and can be paid through PayPal or Ko-fi.
I do not accept payment via crypto or wire transfer.
Commissions can 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.

The time it takes to finish your commission varies from 3 to 6 months depending on factors such as health, the complexity of the commissioned piece and other work.
Once the piece is finished you will receive the full-resolution image along with the size you required for printing if any . Note that there is no physical product.

You get 3 rounds of changes on the commissioned piece included in the price.
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 wish 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 an hourly wage.
If your reference is unclear to start with, changes will come at an extra charge.
