Terms of Service for Private Commissions

01
General terms

  • Prices are subject to change based on demand.
     

  • Please write in a clear and polite manner when messaging.
     

  • I have the right to reject any order for any reason.

Payment

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

03
Process & Delivery

  • The time it takes to finish your commission varies from 1 week - 1 month depending on factors such as the complexity of the commissioned piece, other work, and job hours.
     

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

04
Revisions

  • 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.

05
Copyright & Usage

I Lisa Vanwelden (the artist):
 

  • I reserve the right to cancel and refund the order at any time for any reason.
     

  • I retain all copyrights over the commissioned artwork.
     

  • Furthermore, I will NOT claim the intellectual property (IP) of the commissioned artwork.
     

  • Likewise, I will NOT profit further from the commissioned artwork unless you (the customer) break any of the terms.
     

  • I reserve the right to post the commissioned artwork online, in my portfolio, as well as in publications such as art books

 

You (the customer/commissioner):
 

  • You may upload the commissioned artwork on any website and social channels.
    (by giving proper credits)

    You may NOT make profits from the commissioned piece (reselling, redistributing, uploading to POD-services, making prints, etc.)

    Furthermore, you MAY be allowed to sell the artwork if it is a part of an adoptable. Please discuss this with me prior to paying for the artwork.

    You may NOT alter the commissioned artwork without my (the artist's) consent.

    You retain the rights to the intellectual property (IP).

    You may NOT use the commissioned artwork for commercial purposes. The license to the commissioned artwork may be purchased at any point - contact me for info.

​

The following is considered copyright infringement:

​

  • Reproducing/using the copyrighted artwork commercially - means making money off it in any way not excluded from these terms.

    Claiming the artwork as your own

    Altering the artwork without my consent (example: removing my signature from the artwork)

    I reserve the full rights to the image, and it's use/distribution unless otherwise agreed upon (rights to the image for your own non-personal use may be purchased at any time).
     

06
cancellation & refund policy

  • If the client cancels the commission during progress, the amount refunded will be on a case-by-case basis and up to the artist’s discretion. I do have a rough basis for refunds:

    • Sketch: 90%

    • Line: 50%

    • Line and Flat Color: 0% (Unless shading was included in the commission, then 15%)
       

  • No refunds will be given for completed or nearly completed commissions.
     

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

  • If you cancel your order before I start it, you can get a full refund.
     

  • If you are getting a refund, do not request a PayPal chargeback. I will transfer the money back to you myself.
     

  • If you requested a PayPal chargeback at any point when you were not allowed to ask for a refund. You will lose all the before-mentioned rights to the commissioned piece, and I will have the full right to profit further from it in any way. I will decline the chargeback and supply PayPal with our conversations in which we talk about the commission as evidence that I have completed work for you. Furthermore, you will be blacklisted for commissioning me again.
     

07
Content I
Will / Won’t draw

  • Below is a general guideline for what I will or will not draw. Please keep my art style in mind when ordering; my forte is a cartoon, Sonic, and Anthro in general. Things outside my comfort zone might not be as high of quality as something I am used to doing.

    Will draw ✔

  • Humans/humanoids/Fantasy humanoid characters

  • Creatures, furry/anthro, sonic and MLP

  • Couples/ships of any gender

  • Fanart

  • Original characters

  • Soft NSFW (+18) (Ask for more info on this)

    Won’t draw ✘

  • Hateful art (racist, offensive, or controversial material)

  • Mechanical (transformers like robots)

  • Imitation of other art styles or artists

  • Extreme violence or gore

  • Fetishes

    You must be over the age of 18 to commission adult content. Breaking this rule is extremely serious and will result in blacklisting/blocking on all social media, email, and any other means of contact. By ordering anything 18+/NSFW, you are agreeing that you are at or above the age of 18.

08
What would you get?

  • Drafts/mockups that you must decide which one I should continue with (depending on the complexity of the commission, there might be fewer or more drafts)
     

  • Sketch and/or final sketches that you must accept before I continue the work
     

  • Insight and involvement in color plan (depending on the complexity of the commissioned piece)
     

  • Full-resolution file (approx. 210 x 297 mm at 300 DPI) of the final drawing. Final file formats are usually PNG. (Also depending on the size of the final drawing, I may have to send this via WeTransfer or email.)
