terms of service

last updated October 8, 2022


Contact and Inquiry

  • Commissions can be requested via Artistree

  • The best way to contact me with questions is via discord (Sage#0703) or email ([email protected])


Prices and Payment

  • Payments are expected upfront in full. Exceptions can be made for orders over $300.

  • Payment is taken via Artistree or directly through PayPal.

  • Prices are subject to change as my needs change.

  • Complexity fees may apply. More information can be found on my examples and prices page


Cancellation/Refunds

  • I do not accept cancellations longer than a week after receiving payment

  • If you need to cancel before paying, please let me know instead of cutting contact. I will not hold it against you, and it helps me to budget my life if I am told.

  • I reserve the right to cancel your commission and issue a full or partial refund equivalent to work finished due to harassment or improper conduct (Includes lack of communication without warning or lack of cooperation).

  • If I need to cancel a commission due to personal events, you will be contacted and a refund will be issued.


Process

  • LDepending on events going on in my life, workload, and the complexity of the work, turnaround can be anywhere between a day and a few weeks. Feel free to inquiry about progress on your commission. If I am unable to finish your commission within two months I will contact you with progress and an estimated timeline.

  • If you want something done by a deadline, tell me ahead of time. Deadlines must be at least two weeks in advance. You may be asked to pay extra to priority if I have lots of work on my plate.

  • I reserve the right to interpret the commission in my own style. Small details like marking shapes and colors may be tweaked to fit my way of drawing. If something is important to not get lost in translation, please point it out to me.

  • By default I do not offer sketches for less complex artwork (tinies, minis, icons, etc.) Please inform me ahead of time if you would like a sketch to approve. (You may ask for progress at any time however I may not wait for approval before continuing work unless you have previously requested otherwise.)

  • With larger artworks (generally anything priced over $70) I will send a minimum of a sketch to approve with one free full restart at that stage. One round of minor edits to lineart and colors is included as well. Anything beyond those changes may come with a surcharge.

  • Be sure to specify any specific requests like certain aspect ratios and resolutions.

  • I accept changes if I forgot or missed something in your original commission request. Changes to any commission that are not due to me forgetting something from the reference or original description will cost extra.

  • Please be patient. I am a disabled young adult. Sometimes I miss messages or cannot keep up, feel free to give me a nudge.
