INFO AND POLICIES

01

Commercial uses include:

Book covers, merchandise (bookmarks, stickers, prints, apparel, postcards), Book Box items, for-sale or giveaway items, Kickstarter incentives, promo posts/ads on social media, marketing content, freebies, etc. If it is promoting your book, project, or brand in any way, it is a commercial commission. In some cases, I may allow ONE post on an author or social media page to be considered Personal Use rather than commercial, so long as the post isn't an ad or promotion for branding, a book, or a product.

03

Licensing:

ALL commercial projects are required to purchase a License. License options for indie authors range from 35%-300%. License rates depend on the intent and scale of use, as well as duration. Traditional publishers/authors and shops need to inquire for official quotes.

05

Rush Fee:

A rush fee is implemented if a commission is needed prior to my standard turnaround times. If a rush project is accepted, a fee of 50%-100% will be added to the total project cost. Client will be responsible for full payment of the project cost upfront if a rush project is accepted. Requesting a rush project does not guarantee I will be able to accept. 

07

Payment:

Prices and payment are in USD. At this time, I only accept PayPal payments via invoice. For projects under $250, full payment is required up front, prior to the start of the commission. Payment is not required to book. For projects over $250, a non-refundable 25% deposit is required prior to the start of the commission; If needed, payment plans can be arranged for remaining costs. FULL PAYMENT IS REQUIRED FOR FINAL AND OFFICIAL FILES TO BE RELEASED TO THE CLIENT. 

02

Will and Wont's:

"What WILL you work on?"

Character art and design, D&D characters, OC's, Covers,  various merch, book and game characters, realism portraits, Mild-moderate blood and gore, artistic nudity,  armor, and low complexity mecha accessories

"What WON'T you work on?"

NSFW themes like extreme gore, sexual nudity, explicit couple's scenes or depictions, full mecha, furry/most anthro, large group scenes of 5+ characters (not a hard rule but not commonly accepted)

04

Turnaround Time:

Black and White: 3 days - 1 Week

Semi-Renders:  1-2 Weeks

Full Renders: 2-4 Weeks

Scenes: 4-6 Weeks

Covers: 4-8 Weeks

Turnaround times are based on start to finish timeframes: NOT when you book.

06

Contracts:

All commercial work requires a contract signature. A sample contract will be provided upon request. I require that clients seeking commercial work be 18 or older; if you are not 18 or older, you must have a legal guardian or legal representative sign in addition to your signature. 

08

Cancellations:

If a cancellation from the client occurs and the client has paid in full or partially, and the commission is only in the sketching phase, a refund of 70% of what was already paid is returned to the client (excluding the 25% non-refundable deposit). A refund of 50% of the paid project cost is entitled to the client if the commission is cancelled midway. A refund will not be given if the commission is cancelled near or at completion. If the artist cancels, client will receive a full refund, if any payment has been made.

MORE TO KNOW:

  • If you do not provide adequate references and/or need a character design from scratch, it will incur an extra charge on top of the project total. 

  • ​Contracts are non-transferrable. You cannot transfer your contract rights over to another party or entity without my permission or consultation.

  • If you don't see a style or offering that you want to inquire about, please feel free to ask anyway! I will try and be flexible and work with what you have an interest in.

  • If you are unfamiliar with the commission process, or if you are unfamiliar with a book cover or publishing process, I will do my best to help inform and educate within my means. 

  • If there is something I won't draw, or am unable to draw, I am more than happy to recommend you to an array of amazing artists who may be more suited to complete your commission.

  • While I am happy to work on projects for books or series that have mild-moderate steamy and spicy themes, please be aware that I do not typically accept work for series with a high or very high spice rating, smut-focused or smut-only series (ie; Graphic sexual content is the sole intent or focus for the book), Dark Romance, or Erotica. However, there may be exceptions to this rule and it is at my discretion. You are still free to inquire. Thank you for understanding that boundary! You can find my spice ratings here.
