Terms of Service

  1. Prices are subject to change according to complexity, size, and medium of each individual piece.
  2. Clear instructions and visual references and/or of the commission request must be provided by the client. After review of the request a preliminary quote will be provided by the artist.
  3. Submitting a commission request does not guarantee a commission slot.
  4. High quality reference images are to be provided by the client. All images must be Safe For Work (SFW) and contain no sexual or inappropriate content (see clause 13). Any breach of this in any image will result in the rejection of the commission, no exceptions. If additional reference images are sent after the commission has been started and a payment has been made, and the new reference images breach this clause, there will be no refund issued and the commission will be terminated.
  5. The artist will not discuss commission work with the client via public forum, instant messengers, and private notes. All communication about the commission between the artist and client will be made through, [email protected] and Ko-Fi, to ensure all information is consolidated to one secure location.
  6. The commission must be paid up front in full before work begins. The artist will only accept payment through Ko-Fi. 
  7. Commissions under $400cad are considered small works and revising sketches are not factored into the price.
  8. The artist reserves the right to reject critique and redlining pertaining to artistic skill and/or style preference if said critique reduces the artistic quality of the piece.

  10. If the client wishes to cancel their commission during or after the inking and/or colouring stage they will not be issued a refund.
  11. The artist reserves the right to issue a refund and cancel a commission due to poor communication, rude or inappropriate behaviour, and/or inability to communicate in effective English.

  13. The artist will not accept commissions for the depiction of illegal activities, explicit R-rated materials and hateful images. Non-explicit fetish, kink, artistic nudity, violence, and gore will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The artist reserves the right to reject any commission for any reason.

Artwork can also be used as emoji on Twitch and Discord unless otherwise stated by the artist.
  18. Digital media commissions are permitted to print copies of the artwork, for personal use only. These prints may not be resold or put up for auction without the written consent of the artist.
