This is a quick overview of my commission terms. To ensure a smooth collaboration, please visit the next pages for the full details.

Data Protection

  • Prior to commencing work, the Artist will require contact information for the Client, including their name, email address, and any relevant social media user names. All contact information will be held securely by the Artist and used solely for contacting the Client about commissioned work: it will not be resold, exchanged, or otherwise divulged to third parties without additional, explicit consent from the Client. The Client accepts that all Client information held by the Artist will be held in compliance with the data protection regulations of the Philippines.

Right to Termination

  • Prior to the artist beginning work on the art and character design, both the Client and the Artist have the right to withdraw from this agreement. Where a deposit for the work has already been paid in full or in part by the Client, any full or partial refund of the deposit will be at the sole discretion of the Artist (in compliance with the terms laid down in the section of this agreement titled "Payment and Fees").

  • In the event that the working relationship between Client and Artist irreparably breaks down, the Artist reserves the right to terminate this agreement. No refund of the deposit will be provided to the Client in this event. At the sole discretion of the Artist, usage and ownership rights of work completed prior to the breakdown in the working relationship may be transferred to the Client. Such transfers may be subject to appropriate compensation, at the sole discretion of the Artist, and any such compensation will be negotiated separately from this agreement as required.

Payment and Fees

  • 100% of the fee will be paid to the Artist in advance of work commencing as a deposit for the work.

  • At the sole discretion of the Artist, this deposit may be refunded in full in the event that work is unable to proceed due to no fault on the part of the Client. Where work is unable to proceed due to fault on the part of the Client, and also at the sole discretion of the Artist, up to 50% of the deposit may be refunded. In the event that a deposit is refunded, whether in part or in full, all currency conversion and transfer fees will be subtracted from the refunded sum.

  • The Artist will invoice the Client for the agreed amount once the scope, pricing, and other pertinent details of the work have been agreed upon has been completed by the Client. Work will not commence until after the invoice has been paid in full. The Client is responsible for paying all currency conversion and transfer fees imposed by the payment service that's included in the price advertised (i.e. Paypal fees).

  • During the development of the work, the Client accepts that a total of three major revisions will be provided by the Artist during the sketching and line art phase, and a total of three minor revisions will be provided by the Artist during the coloring and finishing phase. Any additional revisions requested by the Client at either stage will incur a further cost of $10 per additional revision.

  • If client has failed to render communication in a month after a follow-up from the artist, the commission order will be cancelled without refund at the sole discretion of the artist.
