In working with me, the client confirms that they agree to the following
Terms of Service
Terms of Service
Content
Process
(custom work)
Payment
Rights (unless other terms for commercial use have been agreed upon)
The client may:
- Scientific illustration: I am happy to draw any subject or object as long as visual references are made available. Drawing from life is possible if the client covers the resulting shipping and return cost.
- Character and scenery art: Complex designs and environments will result in a higher price, but I can draw any character if given a visual reference. Ask about dark or adult themes. I refuse realistic military themes as well as anything relating to fascism, racism, homo-/transphobia, etc.
- I will not imitate the styles of others.
- I reserve the right to refuse work for any reason.
Process
(custom work)
- Quote: The client contacts me with the details of their idea to receive a quote. Quotes are binding for 6 months. Deadlines closer than 2 weeks can be arranged for a rush-fee. After agreeing to proceed, the client receives their PayPal invoice.
- Sketch: I will then roughly sketch the piece out for the client to appraise and make major compositional changes if necessary.
- Updates: Depending on the complexity of the work, the client may be contacted with further updates where they may request up to 3 rounds of minor revisions free of charge. Additional rounds of revisions can be arranged for a fee, capping at 6 revisions total.
- Completion: The client is sent the final piece and payment is due within 1 day after completion. I guarantee delivery of private work within a maximum of 3 months or before a given deadline, unless delayed by exceptional circumstance such as extra revisions or slow client communication.
- In streamlined work with a set price and reduced communication in favour of speed, such as YCH commissions, finished work is delivered after the invoice is paid, skipping any sketch approval stages, and one round of revisions may be requested free of charge.
Payment
- Invoice: Payment takes place via PayPal invoice. The client may pay at any time within 1 day after completion. Payment plans are possible for invoices over 200€. Invoices for digital artwork include digital goods only.
- Refunds: If the client backs down from a commission which is already underway or is dissatisfied with the work despite revisions, they are entitled to a refund, the maximum of which is 50% of the total price agreed upon. Depending on how much work has gone into the art already, the amount I am able to refund may be less. If I am forced to cancel at any point the client receives a 100% refund.
- Commercial use: For work intended for commercial use by the client, additional conditions are agreed upon on a case to case basis. For example, if the client wishes for me to relinquish my copyright permanently, the price will be multiplied by a factor of between 5 and 12 depending on the scale of the client's enterprise.
- None of my work is ever to appear in blockchain-based transactions such as NFTs.
Rights (unless other terms for commercial use have been agreed upon)
The client may:
- Upload work to online galleries or social media crop work to use as an icon as long as I am credited for the art with a link back to my website or social media
- Print work for personal use (posters, badges, photo-books, etc.)
- Use work in online and physical galleries
- Sell merchandise (books, prints, etc.) that includes the work
- Use work to advertise myself
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns via email or social media.
