    Basic Information

    By ordering a commission you confirm that you’ve read and agree to the following Terms of Service.

    1. As a part of a commission you purchase the digital artwork(s).
    2. I remain the author of the picture, you do not purchase authorship.
    3. The base image is sold without commercial license and is intended for private use only. If you intent to distribute the image please buy a commercial license - see the point near the end of this ToS. You are allowed to print the illustration for private use however.
    4. You are allowed to share the picture on any social media as long as you mention me as the creator and add a link to one of my Social Media pages or this Website.
    5. I keep the right to use the finished picture in my portfolio and in other places that showcase and/or promote my work.
    6. The final image will contain my logo.

    Pricing

    The prices of the commissions are divided into categories - “Sketch”, “Simple Illustration”, “Character Sheet” and “Full Illustration”. Please note, that the prices may vary, depending on the complexity of the artwork (multiple characters, complex outfit/prop or background).

    Sketch - The artwork is quick and mostly rough. It contains rudimentary colors, a simple background and sketchy lineart. They cost 20/30/40 Euro for portrait/halfbody/fullbody.

    Simple Illustration - The artwork is simple with no background, and is prepared to serve as sticker. They cost 10/20/30 Euro for portrait/halfbody/fullbody, or 100€ for a set of 5 themed Illustrations (can be mixed heads, half- and fullbodies).

    Character Sheet A character sheet is used for showcasing a single character. There are two versions:

    • VERSION A costs 70€. It includes your character fully rendered in front view, as well as a close up of 1-2 Props and a close up Headshot (Portrait). Additional Notes/text may be added.

    • VERSION B costs 160€. It includes your character fully rendered in front and back view, a colorless/flat color Head Turn (3 Headshots; Front, 3/4rd, side view) and four colorless/flat color outfit variations.

    A character sheet does not include a background or multiple characters (exception; small pets or companions). Additional variants (such as expressions, extra props, clothing variants etc.) may be added after communication, but may make the sheet more expensive, depending on complexity.

    Full Illustration - as the name suggests, a full illustration with background, depicting your character fully rendered. They cost 50/80/150 Euro for portrait/halfbody/fullbody, but depending on the background complexity, they may cost more. Painting only a landscape costs 70 Euro, more if architectural elements are present.

    Commission process

    Before Comission

    1. After reaching out to me via Mail or PM on my socials I will mail you back in the next 2-3 days.
    2. After disclosing what type of art you’re looking for and I’ve looked over any provided visual references, we will discuss the estimated time and payment.
    3. All of the communication will be happening via emailor my socials. I will not join any discord groups or similar spaces.
    4. I can decline your order after seeing the references. In this case I won’t charge anything.

    Sketch Phase

    1. After paying the first 50% of the agreed price I will prepare a sketch. I will alter it until you are satisfied with your product.
    2. You can request up to three entirely new sketches. Fourth one requires additional payment and is considered a Major change (see below).
    3. When you choose a sketch for rendering, you have to pay the remaining 50% of the agreed payment. After payment I’ll start the rendering phase.

    Redering Phase and Changes After the rendering phase starts, only minor changes are available.

    Minor Change - A change to the picture that doesn’t require me to repaint a large chunk of the art. For example: hand gesture, face expression, item color.

    Major Change - A change to the picture that requires me to alter large portions of art. For example: whole body position, previously unmentioned item added, whole color scheme change. Major change requires additional payment of up to 50% value of the whole art.

    Commission Finished

    1. When everything is done, you will receive a set of PNG files, with at least one larger file and one smaller preview sent via email or as a link.
    2. The illustrations will be sent in 1240x1754 pixels in average - making it perfect for you to print on A4 sizes. If you require any other size please let me know in advance.
    3. You won’t be sent the original PSD file, layers or separated parts of the picture.

    Payment

    1. Payment is accepted via PayPal only.
    2. Payment for the commission is divided into two parts: 50% sent after I look over and confirm your references and 50% after you accept a sketch for rendering.

    4. First invoice is non refundable under any circumstances.
