Terms of Service
I use Artistree to take commissions: openings are announced through my Discord (For DSE Members), FurAffinity & Bluesky!During this time commissioners are welcome to place commission applications through my Artistree page for a spot in the queue until slots are filled.Commissions are NOT first come first serve!
They are selected based on the idea and the applications received. Commissioners are also allowed to submit multiple requests, however, if chosen, I will only be selecting one idea to draw.YOU MUST BE OVER 18 TO APPLY FOR A COMMISSION!
If I have reason to believe that you are not 18+, I reserve the right to refuse service.I reserve the right to decline commissions at any given time without needing to provide a reason. Any threats or overall ill behavior will result in the cancellation of a commission and a possible ban from future commissions.Selected applicants will be contacted within 48 hours (barring unforeseen events) after the queue has closed to start the commission process. Announcements will be made over various social media platforms to inform others that commission applications are now closed.
Artist & Commissioner Rights
I, takomishadow, as the artist, retain full copyright to all images unless otherwise specified through an official agreement (requiring signatures of both parties). I retain the rights to post commissioned images in my galleries, reproduce the images for sale online or at conventions, or otherwise use the image commercially in prints, digital art collections, books, etc.Rights to the original characters remain with their owners, where trademarked.Commissions are for Personal Use only unless commercial rights are purchased. (Additional fees apply depending on service.)As the client, you receive the rights to post the commissioned images anywhere you’d like for personal, non-commercial non-profit purposes, as long as you credit me as the artist.Clients retain the right to edit artwork by cropping and resizing for personal use (ex. Icons, avatars, banners). Any other edits such as removal or watermarks/altercations are prohibited.Clients do not have the right to approve others to edit my art unless previously discussed with me.Clients do not have the right to working files of the commissioned artwork. I do not distribute working files to clients unless discussed otherwise.Clients do not have the right to use any part of the commissioned artwork for Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) or AI generations.All standard commissioned art will be digitized; I do not physically ship out artwork. A high-quality file of the artwork will be sent through Artistree or the commissioner's email / Telegram if requested.
Art I Will & Wont Draw
As the artist, I retain the right to refuse any subject matter and content that I am not comfortable with. Since I am still exploring and expanding my comfort zones of what I like to draw, each subject will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Please ask if you are unsure!
Payment
I use Artistree to accept commission payments and work with clients on their commissions.ALL PRICES ARE IN USD.Full payment up-front is required before I start your commission. If you are in the queue, I will only charge once I get to your commission.I require invoice payment within 48 hours unless otherwise stated. I do not begin work until your payment has been received and processed.Clients can pay for a commission with either a debit / credit card through Stripe or Paypal.If you are chosen and cannot make the payment in the initial 48-hour period, please contact me, and we can work out a payment period that will work for you. If you cannot make the payment by the second time around, you will be removed from the queue, and the commission will be canceled.I do not take split payments or do payment plans. If you have any questions about this, please contact me before submitting an application.A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) fee of $100 applies if you request that I not post your commission publicly or include it in my Portfolio.Complexity Fee is between $10-$100 for CommissionsAll NSFW commissions will include a fee of $100 USDIf a commissioner wishes to buy Commercial Use AFTER a commission, the prices will be: Streamer Commercial Use ($25 USD) and Merchandise Commercial Use ($60 USD)If you would like to leave a tip / donation after the commission is complete, you may send a gift payment through my Artistree page; tips are not required, but are always appreciated!
Commission Queue
If you have been selected for the queue and have paid your invoice, you will be able to find updated information about your commission on my Trello page.Updates to your commission (including sketching, inking, bkg / coloring, and finishing progress) will be made to the board as they are completed.
Time + Progress Updates
I will NOT accept commissions with deadlines as I am usually busy with work, school, projects, etc. that takes the most priority.Please allow anywhere from 1 day to 3 months for the completion of your commission after I accept it. If I can’t finish it in a reasonable time, I will notify you and we can work something out.All commissions come with a Work in Progress. WIPs are sent out after initial sketches are complete to allow the commissioner to confirm that the art is correct before work is continued in your place.After you receive the WIP update, you may request edits to the art.
Minor edits (limb positioning, facial expression, coloring, etc.) will be limited to 3 free edits, as well as anything that I may have missed from the information you have provided.Any major edits (redrawing a large portion of the image or edits based on information not included in the initial application) will come with a small fee based on the time it will take to complete the edits.This fee must be paid before edits are made!Please review WIP's carefully to assure client satisfaction. Once the client approves the WIP, I will NOT make further edits after progressing to the next stage. (Example: asking for changes to character poses after I complete the lineart).Any edits/artwork requested that fall under “style” rather than technical details may be refused. Please be aware that as an artist, my style shifts over time, and I may refuse requests to replicate an earlier “style” or technique.Communication is important. If I do not receive a response within 1 week, I will proceed to deliver the artwork as is.Once the commission is completed I will not go back and make further edits.I am NOT responsible if you forget to mention something you wanted in your commission.
Refunds
If I have begun the commission process and you decide you would like to stop, please let me know as soon as possible. I understand that issues can arise suddenly and am more than happy to work with you if such an event occurs.If I have not begun work on your commission, a full refund will be made.If I have started the commission, you will receive a partial refund based on the work that has already been completed.If severe life circumstances arise that limit your ability to continue with a commission, please contact me and I’ll do my best to negotiate a solution that will work best for all parties involved.Refunds will be delivered within 72 hours of their request (barring unforseen events).Refunds will NOT be considered once the commission has been completed.
