DEFINITIONS

THE PIECE AND THE PROCESS

  • The Artist will endeavour to provide the most satisfactory result. This relies on good communication between both parties. The Artist reserves the right to cancel a commission if The Client is not providing adequate communication to The Artist (i.e; ghosting)

  • The Artist will provide concept sketches to The Client before proceeding with the commission. Changes can be made at this stage.

  • If The Client requests changes to the design during the production stage outside of the approved number of revisions, The Client acknowledges that this will incur an additional cost depending on the scale of the changes (5% - 20%).

  • The Artist may request an additional fee for outfit / character design if there are insufficient references for the character.

  • The Client agrees to pay the final due amount within 30 days of receiving the watermarked illustration preview and final payment instructions. Communication is expected from the Client if final payment will be delayed due to financial issues.

  • The Artist reserves the right to cancel a commission and issue a refund due to disrespectful or rude behavior, or poor communication. This does not include the deposit.

  • The Client may cancel the commission at any time during production. The Client will receive a refund of their deposit if the commission has not been started.

  • The Client agrees that if they do not respond in a timely manner to updates, commission progress will pause. The Artist may move the client down the queue to make room for more responsive clients. If The Client responds late (20 days or more), they acknowledge the possibility of having to wait for The Artist's queue to free up space.

  • If the Client completely ghosts (stops communication) despite Artist's best efforts, the Artist has the right to cancel the commission entirely. All paid funds will remain with the artist.

USAGE

  • The Client agrees that the produced artwork is for private use only. The Client may not use the design with intent to make profit from it. The Client may produce prints for personal use or to gift to friends/family/D&D party members.

  • The Artist retains all rights to the produced artwork unless the Client has paid for full rights and exclusivity.

  • The Client is strictly forbidden from minting the produced artwork to any blockchain service, e.g, NFTs.

  • The Client is strictly forbidden from using the produced artwork or any artwork from The Artist to train generative AI models and programs.

  • The Artist may post the final product on their public platforms unless another arrangement is made. Requesting a delay in posting the final artwork may result in an additional charge. Commercial or Exclusive licensing can be arranged.

  • The Client must read and agree to these terms before entering into a contract with The Artist. By sending payment, The Client is agreeing to these terms.

TATTOO TERMS

  • Flash sheets obtained from Patreon are not exclusive designs - multiple people can have the same item

  • Do not modify the design beyond colour changes to account for skin tone

  • Exclusive tattoo designs are marked as such and will only be shared on social media with the consent of The Client
