Otherwise, here are a few common commission examples;

  • Your original characters! Including detailed character designs and character sheets
  • Non-Commercial Fanart/Ship Art of your favourite characters and fandoms
  • Classic cartoonish slapstick violence and general wacky buffoonery
  • Artistic and tasteful pinups [18+ only]
  • Design logos, banners, merchandise and other commercial art [Requires a contract with different Terms And Conditions Of Service]
  • It’d be a joy to draw any positive depictions of many groups + identities. Just clarifying that I provide a safe place đź’–
  • Hateful acts, or depicting hate speech
  • Offensive imagery, cultural appropriation, or stereotypical caricatures
  • Explicit content
    * Depictions of artistic and tasteful nudity/pinups are acceptable [18+ only]
    * Implied loving intimate acts are permissible if not intended for lewd reasons or the focus [18+ only]
  • Fetishes - Be they explicit or non-explicit
  • I only accept payments of AUD and USD through Paypal and secondary platforms such as  KO-FI  and  ARTIST TREE , which are proven and trustworthy services offering protections for both artist and client
  • Do not send me any payment until you’ve received my invoice
  • An example payment plan is that the client will pay for 50% of the price before I begin and 50% before I send the final work. The percentages will vary depending on what the commission demands and what best works for the client
  • It is expected that the client has 7 Days maximum to respond and pay the invoice I send for the commission. In absence of payment, your commission will be considered abandoned and you will lose your position in the queue
  • Do not send any payment as a gift over PayPal. (As this is against PayPal's TOS)
  • Do not send a shipping address of any kind over PayPal. It is not required and will complicated the payment process. I only send digital copies of art 

I am working to implement alternative payments and more in future. 

  • Commission prices and rates will depend on complexity and detail, and that the prices listed on the commission form are only an estimated base price. 
  • The base price is non-negotiable and I will not go lower than that. 

If I am solely accountable for an inaccuracy within the work (like lacking an unambiguous part of the initial written commission application) and it calls for a change to the work, it will come at no additional cost. 

Requesting a change to an early work in progress is typically without additional charge during the commission process. As the commission progresses, changes are free - of cost depending on complexity and stage of the work.

Additional charges are likely to apply when:

  • The request to change the work occurs beyond the initial sketching and composition period.
  • The client requests a detailed change to the commission
  • The client’s request requires an upgrade to another commission type
    (EG. A Basic Commission upgraded to a Detailed Commission)
  • The change requests become too frequent or there is too many at a time.

I will typically not accept any request for detailed changes to a commission when it is in the final stages or has been finalised. If I do accept a change request at this stage, the added cost charged will accordingly scale to the labour of the task.

If it is a commercial commission and we have previously agreed that I will assist with changes or alterations post finalisation for a set period of time (consider it a longevity insurance plan) I will accept further changes after the work has been finalised.

This may involve any additional charges being either included in the original invoice prior or I will invoice you for the additional charges separately. If there was no previous agreement, you will have to commission me separately.

If requesting changes is not an option that works for you, I will help you through this for the best outcome.

  • Full refunds are only viable if no parts of the work (from sketches to the final) has been completed. You’d have to request a refund ASAP
  • If it was previously agreed upon that you’d pay me in instalments, such as half or part for the completion of half or part of the work, (EG. Sketches, Composition Finalisation, early colours) you cannot receive a refund for the work I have already done, but I will waive the next instalment of payments for the work I did not begin
  • If in the rare case that there is considerable reasoning for a full refund excluding the above conditions, the conditions in the “  TERMINATING A COMMISSION  â€ť section apply
  • You cannot request a refund for reasons not inherently pertaining or relevant to the art/commission work itself

At any point of the commission process, if you, as the client, request to terminate or cancel the commission and receive a partial/full refund, any work refused by the client cannot be used in whole or in part. The only exception to this is if you have paid for any initial work (which cannot be refunded). You will be allowed to benefit from them as per the standard and agreed upon Usage and Rights.

To reiterate; you cannot commission me, decide to to cancel, receive a refund and then benefit or use my work in whole or in part. This disallows another artist, person, automation or entity (Paid or Not) to edit or build upon the works design or influence that is my own.

If I do not hear back consistently enough to progress the commission or do not hear back at all from a client regarding a commission for a noticeable amount of time the commission is assumed as terminated. Their commission and payment to that point are forfeit and no commission work beyond that will be completed or delivered. Any payments that were expected to be paid are waived only if I haven’t begun or finalised the work. You cannot receive a refund for work that is already created, even if it isn’t finalised. The client is paying for my skills as well as my time, and that time could be used for other work. I will end up missing work if the client is not cooperative.

I reserve the right to refuse to accept or confirm any commission offer and application.
I also reserve the right to terminate, cancel and refuse a commission at any point in response to:

  • Poor communication/miscommunication on the clients part
  • If there is an inability to come to an understanding to progress the commission
  • If the client displays disrespectful, inappropriate or disagreeable behaviour
  • The client having broken or intending to break the agreement of usage and rights

I will refuse spec work/speculative work as I value the years of time, money and effort I have invested into becoming a professional artist. 

I will however be open to donate any graphic work for charities and movements that I am personally passionate about.

If you commission a non-commercial commission but benefit commercially later on from what is my own designs, artistic direction and additions I require compensation for my time.

Your obligations as the client are:

  • Directly request and receive clear explicit permission from the creator to do anything that goes beyond the terms of the license (eg. making commercial use of the work or creating a derivative work where the license does not permit this)

  • Use the copyrighted work solely for personal use*

  • Remove any watermarks/signatures

*I am only willing to waive my own rights as the artist to the work for an extra fee.

I as the creator retain the base rights to:

  • The work. Including my influence, input, and concepts. My credit, rights and ownership of my contributions can be negotiated for a fee.

I as the creator I am obligated to:

  • Be open to in-depth discussion so as to make your project true to your vision and the best it can be

I will never agree for my art, work or anything pertaining to my brand, identity or self to be used, appropriated or involved with any persons, movement or organisation that represents or operates against my strong morals, sense of justice and pursuit of peace.

This includes any appropriations, parodies, alterations, and derivatives of my art, work, brand, identity or self. During my life and after my death, I will never consent to this use or alike in any form. I prohibit the unapproved appropriation and use of my works by any persons, organisation or automation in any capacity. 

If the client breaks the usage agreement in any way, all rights they have to the work will be forfeit.
