I. Payment Method
- Payment in Advance: Full payment is required before starting the commission.
- Accepted Payment Methods:
- PayPal only.
- I will send an invoice to your PayPal email. The commission process will begin once the invoice has been paid in full.
II. What You Will Receive
The completed commission will include:
- Digital Files:
- PNG file (High-resolution)
- TIFF file (if needed)
- Source Files:
- Source files (e.g., PSD, AI, Clip Studio) are not included in the base price. If you need the source file for the artwork, this will incur an additional fee. Please inform me at the beginning of the commission if this is required.
- Delivery of Final Files:
- The final artwork will be delivered digitally via email or a file-sharing service. No physical copies will be provided unless otherwise agreed upon in advance.
III. Commercial Use and Rights
- Commercial Use:
- Prices do NOT include commercial use. If the commissioned artwork is intended for commercial purposes, an additional fee will be charged based on the scale and scope of the project.
- If you wish to discuss commercial use, this must be done prior to starting the commission, and the terms and pricing will be adjusted accordingly.
- Artist’s Rights:
- I retain full copyright over the commissioned artwork, meaning I maintain the right to use the artwork for self-promotion purposes. This includes sharing the artwork in my portfolios, social media posts, artbooks, or other compilations of my work.
- However, if the artwork is commissioned for commercial use, I acknowledge that I cannot resell or license the artwork or its source files to another client or third party. In this case, the artwork will only be shared by me for promotional purposes, such as in portfolios, social media posts, artbooks, or work compilations, without infringing on the client’s exclusive commercial rights to the piece.
- Client’s Rights:
- You are granted a personal license to use the commissioned artwork for non-commercial purposes, such as sharing on social media, provided that proper credit is given (e.g., “Artwork by Dócari Studio”).
- For commercial projects, you will have the right to use the artwork as needed for your business or project. Altering, modifying, or reselling the artwork without my explicit permission is prohibited unless previously agreed upon during the commission process.
- NSFW Projects:
- I do not accept or work on NSFW (Not Safe For Work) projects or illustrations. Please ensure your commission request aligns with this policy before proceeding.
IV. Work Process
The work will proceed through the following stages:
- Sketch:
- After receiving payment and all necessary details, I will send an initial sketch of the concept.
- Revisions: Prices include all necessary revisions during the sketching stage. Major adjustments to the concept, composition, or design can be made at this point. Once the sketch is approved, only minimal or color changes will be allowed.
- Major changes after this point will incur an additional fee, equal to 1/3 of the commission price.
- Lineart and Base Colors:
- Minor revisions are allowed at this stage. You may also request adjustments to the color palette.
- Final Colors:
- The final artwork will be sent to you once completed.
- No further revisions are accepted at this stage unless an error was made on my part.
Please note that the process may vary depending on the complexity of the commission.
V. Refund Policy
- Once the payment is made, it is understood that you agree to all the terms outlined in this document.
- No refunds will be issued once the commission has progressed past the sketching stage.
- Refunds are only offered if I am unable to complete the commission for unforeseen reasons. In such cases, a full or partial refund may be offered depending on the amount of work completed at the time.
By proceeding with payment, you agree to the terms and conditions outlined above.
