My Terms and services are provided for each commission type on my VGen
Here's a little readable overview for all of my important terms!
Payment Process
Commission Payments will always be upfront and through the Stripe Payment Method on VGen. All price fluctuations on a commission will be completely visible within the form. There are no instances where I will request more money after an up-front payment. If there is a situation where you want large additions to the commission that require fees, we will discuss further invoicing.
Revision Process
I usually create upwards to 3 concept sketches of how I want the commission to look. Once you choose a concept to move forward with, You will be given free revisions for each progress rung. The condition is that each section of progress must be fully approved by the commissioner before moving to the next section of the commission. Here's an example. [Sketch > Revised > Approved > Cont.] The way that I work with commission is under the expectation that I will not completely finish the commission in a single drawing session. On the terms that a commission piece is done fully and correctly the first time, it sadly means that I will not continue a piece until the WIP is fully approved to continue with. I will revise the image as many times as reasonably needed to meet your expectations for the piece. There is no extra fees behind my revisions.
Deadlines and Delivery
Deadlines
I can do small scale deadlines, but I don't recommend requesting hard deadlines. Discussions will be made to figure out if your deadline request will require a fee. When you pay an extra fee for confirmed deadlines on the commission piece, you will be prioritized above all other commissions that are not deadlined within my queue. Deadline charges will be as low as $5, but can be upwards to 25% of the full cost of the commission.
Deliveries
Delivery will always include a 72DPI .PNG of your finished commission; PERSONAL USE: Unwatermarked for use as a profile picture or banner. PUBLIC USE: Watermarked for use on an online, public space, where the image could be downloaded and used by others. Ontop of this, on request I will provide a watermarked .MP4 of the exported Clip Studio Paint Timelapse. While I do not mind if you share it, please note this file is meant for only you. The final commission, like my revision process, can be rejected, and you can request revisions until the final piece is to your liking.

Intellectual Property Rights
As the buyer, you have rights to post and share the artwork I provide to you with expressed credit. Unless there is a discussion about it there will be no rights to selling my artwork in physical or digital formats. Please understand that the art is still created by me, and as an artist I wish for clear and concise communication with you, as a commissioner.
Refund Policy
I am open to providing refunds for work that I have not completed. If I am not able to complete your commission before the turnover time refunds can be discussed. My turnover time is my "guaranteed delivery by--" time. Agreeing to these terms means that you will communicate and discuss with me first if a refund is needed. Please note that I will be communicating with you as a client as much as possible, and if you're unresponsive for 3 days, I will extend the deadline date by one week to regain communication, giving you 5 days to approve or deny the extension. If I am unable to complete your commission by the guaranteed delivery deadline due to failure to communicate, approve/deny WIPs/Finals, or request revisions, you will not be able to request this refund.
Communications
As the artist I request thorough communication with you, but not personal communication. I will inform you of outside changes that've subjected changes to the commission deadlines in public announcements or messages to you through VGen. I please request that personal topics are kept to a minimum for the comfort of both parties. As the seller I am happy to answer as many questions as you need to ask before ensuring what you want to buy, or if you want to buy a commission at all. I will always be available to contact on VGen, but I will not be readily accessible to conversation on Discord, Libera, or Tumblr. I wake and sleep on a consistent time, and will be awake between 7AM-10PM, I will only be working ~5 hours a day, but I am open to communication as long as I'm able to receive your message. Of course, emergencies and randomness is bound to happen, and sometimes I will not always be able to immediately respond. Rest assured, I will always get to you as soon as I am available to.
