  • Revoking a design or cancelling a commission

  • Legal action may be taken if I feel like my TOS have been infringed severely.

Some rules may be re-written in the other sections for clarity or emphasizing. If any of these rules aren't clear, feel free to ask me for an explanation.
Of course, the TOS may vary depending on what it is. Please don't be afraid to ask for confirmation to see if some of my TOS still apply to that particular occurrence.


| GENERAL & PERSONAL BOUNDARIES |

I. My art & Characters

Okay to do:

  • Feel free to interpret my characters in any way that brings you comfort or enjoyment, even if it's not canon.

  • Explore and create content freely as long as it doesn't cross my personal boundaries.

  • Draw / getting commissioned artwork of my characters to your liking*:

  • Take inspiration from my OCs and content

  • Kin, make headcanons, roleplay* with my characters

  • Make alternative universes of said characters

  • Ship them with your characters or my own other characters for fun*

  • You may edit / trace personal art for practice / headcanons / edits / memes as long as i'm given credit.

  • Use my personal art and characters or coding examples

  • Add my characters to dreamies folders on toyhou.se.

*There are a few exceptions; While I understand that people may create content outside my boundaries for their own coping or attachment to the character or my content, I simply ask that I’m not shown or involved in it.

Please don't:

  • Do anything that advertises personal beliefs beyond the bounds of fiction.

  • Create any excessive sexual content that is considered unlawful.

  • Anything that promotes hatred against individuals or groups.

  • Steal my designs and / or claim them as your own and / or resell them. (Adoptables inspired by my characters are fine, but I'd like to see them first and I'd like to be credited somewhere.)

  • Turn any of my characters or designs into a closed specie. Don't turn my characters into open species either; all of my characters are already open species and you are free to make your own as long as it's for personal use.

  • Don't edit / trace my art for NSFW purposes. I do not draw NSFW and altering my art to make it look like I do gives people the wrong idea of what my content is about.

  • Do anything that misrepresents fan content as one of the official sources.

  • Do anything that harms my own reputation.


II. DO NOT INTERACT CRITERIA

I am allowed to block anyone that i'm comfortable with without any explanation or warning.

*Selling pictures made with AI is a vast, difficult and divided topic that I won't get into. If you think it's ethical to sell AI art, all I ask you is to avoid doing it with images that are made to look like my style. I can't police anything beside that.

| COMMISSION & ORDERING PROCESS |

About nsfw*:

I hope you can understand.


VI. PAYMENT & FEES

  • Payment is expected after 24 hours unless discussed. It must be paid upfront.

  • If discussed, it's possible to do 50/50. Upfront gains a commission priority, the 50/50 may take a bit more of time to be finished and the full final product may be sent only when money has been received.

  • Never send payment without my approval first.

  • A design fee will be charged for clients with no reference images that would like me to draw solely from a description and/or a collection of photos.

  • Additional fees will be charged for excessive or major revisions (see “Revisions” below).

CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS

  • If you wish to cancel the commission before payment, there are no repercussions. The commission will be cancelled and no further action needs to be taken.

  • Asking for a refund when the art piece is completed is not allowed.

  • If you want a refund but the art is still not completed, i'll only charge for what i've done that far.

  • I have the rights to not finish a commission if I really need to. Of course, i'll give a refund then.

  • I have the rights to stop a commission if the client doesn't send payment, details (such as references) in a certain amount of time. Ghosting / Ignoring messages when I ask for information may also lead to the commission being stopped. (If you have anxiety I totally understand! Please let me know, and I'll be less pushy!)

  • I have the rights to reuse and sell the pose and concept as a Ych to someone else if a refund is requested and the illustration has not been completed.

  • Inappropriate/aggressive behaviour of any kind will not be tolerated. Should this or a breach of the Terms of Service occur, I may stop or cancel the commission. (+ refund if you paid me.)


VII. Client obligations

  • Carefully read through the ToS and Commission Information.

  • Be aware that I am a disabled artist with health problems and it may take a while before finishing your commission.

  • Write in a clear and concise manner when filling out the commission form. Provide multiple clear reference images of the character/subject. I have a somewhat severe form of aphantasia, so the more you specify in your form and the more you'll help me visualize what you have in mind. You can leave some things up to me though.

  • Mood boards, links, moodboards, quick sketches, 3d poses, anything that can help are welcome!

  • Assume responsibility for any important information and clear descriptions/references you fail to provide me that results in my inability to complete your commission to your full satisfaction.


VIII. PROCESS & WORK SCHEDULE

  • Resolution of the art will change depending on my needs. If needed I can accept custom heights and lengths, as long they’re not too big for my devices to handle.

  • I have the right to use assets such as 3D models, brushes and background elements that could help me speed up the process.

  • I have the rights to re-use ych assets.

  • I will send over a sketch for approval before continuing the commission. I will accept one complete revision at the sketch stage.

  • Sketch and subsequent in-progress shots will initially be sent as low-res, watermarked images if I didn't receive full payment yet.

  • I won't accept drawings with deadlines. We can discuss about it but i'll probably refuse as it causes me too much stress.

  • I will always do my best to complete your commission within a timely manner, but please understand that sometimes life may get in the way and cause a delay in completing your commission, especially because I suffer from a chronic fatigue and other health problems. I will notify you as soon as possible of any issues that come up to keep you informed.

  • Color changes to the characters may be applied in my final product. Example: with darker oc’s, I would need to light them up a little bit because it’d help me with shading if needed. (anything close to pitch black, a dark skin tone is totally fine!) This also applies to extremely neon colors too, and i'd need to unsaturate them a little bit. I could also slightly change the palette with filters to make the overall drawing look nicer.

The commissioner will receive:

  • Commissioned work (With / without watermark

  • Sketches

  • Alt versions (Transparent & different lighting / backgrounds if I have any)

  • If requested, a psd file with the whole process + captions.

  • If requested, a speedpaint of the whole process.


IX. REVISIONS

  • One major revision is allowed in the sketch phase and is covered in the commission price.

  • A limited amount of minor revisions are allowed in coloring/painting stage and are covered in the commission price.

  • I won't change the pose of the drawing if you don't ask for a specific one from the beginning.

  • Excessive minor revisions to the point that forward progress on the work has halted will incur additional fees.

  • Revisions due to my own negligence are free.

  • Revisions due to my ignorance on a certain topic are also free.

  • I may ask for additional details if in the drawing process I'm not sure on how to draw something with the references presented. If you ignore my message or take to long to reply, I may continue the drawing with the best of my understanding. Revisions then will incur additional fees depending on what it is.

  • Additional major revisions will incur additional fees.

  • It is up to my discretion as to what constitutes minor and major revisions.


| PURCHASABLE CONTENT |

With purchasable content I'm referring to subscriptions and paid downloadable content.

You're allowed to:

  • Use brushes for your personal and commercial work.

  • Give credit to me.

You're NOT allowed to:

  • Under any circumstances you may not redestribute any of the content you've paid for, including to friends and family.

  • Claim your work as your own.


BLACKLIST

I have the right to share my blacklist for informing other artists.
I will not go out with public explanations nor am I obligated to, this is for people's safety and to avoid further conflicts. You may ask privately for context but I am neither obligated to explain nor keen on telling just for the curiosity of others.
Only ask if you are genuinely concerned and wish to stay safe/aware.
So far there's no one in my blacklist so let's keep it that way :)
I mean actually there's 1....
