General

  • My artwork (commissioned or not) should NOT be used for AI-training/fed into AI image generators.

  • My artwork (commissioned or not) should NOT be used for NFTs. I will NOT do NFT-related commissions.

  • I reserve the right to refuse or cancel a commission for any reason (lack of time/skill/etc.).

Process

  • Please send me a direct message or email if you are interested in commissioning me! (links can be found on my home page).

  • Please use this form when ordering a commission (can also be found under the "order form" button on this website).

  • Once I have accepted your commission, I will send you an invoice via Paypal.

  • The invoice will contain a link to my Terms of Service page (this page) to protect both parties.

  • Once I have received full payment, I will begin your commission.

  • I will always send a Work In Progress (WIP) check after the sketch phase. If you would like to receive more WIP checks throughout the process, please let me know.

  • Please ask for any major revisions at the sketch phase - major revisions past the sketch phase will either be refused or subject to additional fees.

  • Turnaround time is approximately 3 weeks, but may vary depending on my life circumstances. I will always inform you of any timeline concerns/delays regarding your commission.

  • Full resolution images will be sent via email.

  • Commission progress can be tracked through my Commission Tracker, updated frequently for transparency.

  • I try to work on commissions in the order that I accept them, with the exception of rush commissions.

Payment and Refunds

  • All prices are in Canadian Dollars (CAD$) and will be made via Paypal. Please contact me if you are unable to pay via Paypal and we can discuss alternative options.

  • Some commission elements (ex. highly detailed characters, detailed backgrounds, etc.) may be subject to additional fees.

  • I will not start on the commission until I have received the full payment unless otherwise agreed upon.

  • In the case that the commission is cancelled on the client's end, I will issue different refund amounts depending on the commission's stage:

  • NOT STARTED: Full refund

  • SKETCH/FIRST WIP CHECK: 50% refund

  • LINEART/FLATS: Up to 25% refund

  • RENDERING: No refund

  • Please note that refund percentages are calculated by each INDIVIDUAL commission piece's fee (ex. if you order 2 portraits and the commission is cancelled after the 1st portrait's sketch phase, you will get a 50% refund on the 1st portrait and a 100% refund on the 2nd portrait).

  • In the case that the commission must be cancelled on my end, I will issue a FULL refund (100% of the charge) to the client, regardless of stage.

Usage and Permissions

  • The client is allowed to repost the watermarked version of their commission on social media with proper credit (art by @startist17/@startiist17). If you are not the client, DO NOT use/repost the work.

  • Commissions are for PERSONAL USE only.

  • Please ask me if you would like to use your commission for commercial purposes. Additional fees will apply. Commercial usage includes emotes (Twitch, Discord servers), printed merch to be sold, or promotional material.

  • The commissioner may print merchandise for PERSONAL USE (stickers, charms, prints, etc.). Please let me know in advance of printing if you would like to use the work for these purposes. I would love to see a picture after!

  • You may not trace the artwork or claim the work as your own.

  • I retain full copyright and ownership of the piece unless otherwise stated.

  • I reserve the right to use the commission for promotional purposes (ex. commission examples, portfolio/website).

  • If the commission is a gift or a surprise, you may request for me to refrain from posting it publicly until a later date.
