By commissioning me, you are stating that you have read and agreed to these terms.

1
GENERAL TERMS

  • Prices are subject to change based on demand.

​

  • Commissions are first come first serve.

​

  • I have the right to reject any order for any reason.

​

  • Ill and rude behavior will not be tolerated. If it occurs, your commission will be canceled.

2
PAYMENT

  • All commissions must be payed 100% upfront. 

​

  • Accepted currencies are either Swiss Francs (CHF), Euros (€) or USD ($). 

​

  • I only accept payment through PayPal.

​

PROCESS & REVISION

  • I try my best to make my customers happy. But in order to work well I require a good description of what you want and at least one clear reference of each character and object. 

​

  • The time for your commission to be completed can be anywhere between a couple of days to 3 months. This can depend on many factors such as health, type of commission, complexity and work/school. You will be notified as soon as possible if something comes up.

​

  • I will share progress photos with you and ask you if you accept my work so far. You will get 3 rounds of changes for your commission for free. Any more changes will have to be backed up with a fee. The amount of extra charge depends on the change you want me to make and is usually based on an hourly wage.

​

  • Any major changes after sketch approval and which require me to redo entire elements - such as changing the pose/shape of a character drastically, adding/removing entire outfits, redrawing parts of the image, etc. - will be charged additionally.

​

  • A fee will be added if you want something changed on the final piece (Unless it was a misunderstanding on my side). Small changes such small coloring/marking mistakes will be free of charge.

​

  • Once the piece is finished you will receive the full-resolution image. This is best given over E-mail or Telegram. Note that there is no physical product in the end. All of my work is done digitally.
