Terms of Service For Commissions
General Terms
- In commissioning artwork from me, you agree to abide by these terms of service.
- If commissioning art with adult content you are confirming that you are 18 years of age or older and can legally view and possess adult content.
- I have the right to reject any commission that I do not feel comfortable drawing for any reason.
- All drawings will include a subtle signature that you may not remove.
- I do not accept commissions to alter, edit or recolor art created by other artists.
- I will only accept commissions of someone else's characters if I receive permission from the owner via email. This is to avoid any possible issues that could arise.
- I do not offer privacy fees or accept “private image” commissions and reserve the right to post the commission publicly.
- I shall accept posting on a later date due to gifts for birthdays/special days.
- Buyer, if requested, may remain anonymous when image is posted publicly.
- I might record/stream the drawing process on Picarto.tv.
Payment
- Currency accepted is either USD or CAD (prices listed on Commissions are USD) and can be paid through PayPal Invoice/Paypal.me.
- Commissions must be paid 100% up front after approval of initial sketch and before artwork begins unless previously discussed otherwise.
- Do not send me any payment before I have agreed to give you a slot and sent you the Invoice, it will be immediately refunded.
- Payment must be made within 24 hours of invoicing or I may cancel the commission.
Communication
- All commission requests must be done via skyeboldcommissions@gmail.com which I will contact you from after submitting the form on this website.
- I will not discuss commission details through chats, forums or private messages.
- When requesting a commission please provide a clear reference(s) of the character with a brief description via direct linking or an email attachment.
- Include pose, facial expression, clothing, accessories and any small details in your description.
Process and Delivery
- The time it takes to finish your commission varies 1 week - 3 months depending on factors such as volume of previous work/commissions, health, and the complexity of the piece.
- If anything comes up that will slow the progress of the initially estimated delivery time I will let you know asap.
- Once the piece is finished you will receive, via email attachment, the full-resolution image for personal viewing along with a web-friendly size for sharing. Note that there is no physical product.
Reviews/Revisions
- A single sketch review will always be sent to allow the client to make a few minor adjustments (facial expression, dialogue etc) before continuing the piece (this will include a watermark and be smaller than the finished piece).
- If I do not receive a response within 24 hours for the sketch review, I shall continue the image as-is. The quicker you approve, the faster I can continue with your image.
- If other revisions or adjustments are requested a fee will be required depending on the complexity (unless I find that the revision is due to a mistake I have made).
- I reserve the right to decline further revisions if the request for change is too great.
- To prevent misunderstanding and large revisions, please be specific in your initial commission description.
Refunds
- The buyer is not allowed a refund or cancellations after payment.
- If for any reason I am unable to start/finish your commission you will receive a full refund.
- If you are getting a refund, DO NOT request a Paypal charge back. I will transfer the money back to you myself.
- If you request a Paypal charge back at any point when you are not allowed to ask for a refund you will lose all beforementioned rights to the commissioned piece and I will have the full right to profit further from it. I will decline the charge back 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 from commissioning me again.
Usage Policy/Copyright
I, SkyeBold (the artist), claim the rights to the produced drawing, not the buyer. Therefore I am allowed to use the copyrighted artwork to:
- Promote myself with it everywhere
- Publish books with it (artbooks, etc)
- Display it everywhere to my liking (website, social media, etc.)
- Post it wherever I want
The buyer is allowed to:
- Use the commissioned piece for personal use unless agreed otherwise (you can upload it on all your social media profiles, forums, etc.)
- Print the artwork (not for sale purposes) and claim the character(s) as their own, but not the artwork itself.
The following is considered copyright infringement:
- Reproducing/using the copyrighted artwork commercially- means making money off of it in any way.
- Claiming the artwork as your own.
- Removing my signature from the artwork.
- Altering the artwork without my consent.
If any other questions or concerns arise you may contact me at skyeboldcommissions@gmail.com.
