Howdy neighbor!
My name is Oliver and I'm a freelance digital artist from the Northwest US. Here you'll find everything you need when it comes to my art, like my Commission Menu, my Terms of Service, and how to find me on other websites!Thank you for checking out my work!
Terms of Service: Commissions
Please read! My Terms of Service covers the following:
~ Payment Requirements
~ Explanation of Work Process
~ Revisions Policy
~ Refund Policy
~ Artist/Client/3rd-Party Rights
~ Proper Credit
I. Payment Requirements
Full payment is required up front or after sketch.
All commissions must be paid in USD.
The artist will always ask the client to pay for commission(s) via PayPal, Stripe, or Ko-Fi.
The artist will never ask the client to pay through other payment processing apps such as Square, Venmo, CashApp, or Boosty.
II. Explanation of Work Process
Turnaround time for most commission types will be 1-3 weeks after payment, depending on your placement in queue.
Turnaround time for "large" commission types (references, customs, animations, etc) is varied around 1 month.
Before a commission order will be accepted, the artist will ask for confirmation that the client has read and agreed to these Terms of Service (TOS) in full.
Once a commission order has been accepted, the artist will ask for the clients preferred method of contact (Discord, PM, email, etc)
The artist will send the client a small form to fill out in order to gain a better understanding of what the client is looking for.
The artist will deliver at least One (1) clean work-in-progress (WIP) per stage (Sketch/Lines/Colors/Rendering) to the client for approval to ensure satisfaction with the composition of the artwork.
Upon delivery of the WIP, the artist will ask the client if any revisions need to be made before proceeding further.
The final artwork will be delivered as an unwatermarked PNG. Watermarked formats available at request of the client.
Turnaround delays can and will happen. I as the artist will ensure proper communication of any unforeseen or expected delays.
III. Revisions Policy
All commissions are allowed free revisions by the artist (regardless of stage) for the following: Missing details, incorrect marking placement, and very small fixes.
If the sketch has not been approved by the client, major changes (such as a different pose, outfit, expression, etc.) are free.
If the sketch has been approved by the client, major changes (such as a different pose, outfit, expression, etc.) will be denied.
IV. Refund Policy & Tips
when seeking a refund, tell the artist you would like one directly and politely via your chosen contact method. why you want it doesn't have to be included. the artist will discuss with the client how much of a refund will be given for cancellation depending on the progress of the commission at the time of the request, based on the criteria below:
Not Started: 100% Refund
Sketched: 50% Refund. Client keeps the cleaned-up sketch and the Artist makes no further progress on the art.
Lined, Colored, or Shaded: No Refund. Client will receive the finished artwork as originally agreed.
Cancelled by the Artist: 100% Refund. No further progress will be made on the artwork. Any WIPs delivered at the time of cancellation are considered owned by the client that ordered the art while the artist revokes rights to the work.
If a commission is cancelled by the artist, the client is welcome to outscource other artists or their own skills to touch up or finish any WIPs provided, with proper credit.
