The artist reserves the right to refuse or discontinue a commission at any time and for any reason.

Commissioners are asked to double-check information and the files relevant to their commission prior to submitting their request.

Requests that are believed to contain AI-generated imagery will be discussed, and declined if the commissioner is unwilling to remove the generated imagery.

Commissioners are asked to write clearly and concisely with minimal abbreviations for a smoother process and minimizing any misunderstandings about the commission, characters etc.

Commissioners are asked to respond in a timely manner to messages regarding commissions. The artist allows for up to a week (7 days) to pass before sending a notice. If another week (7 more days) passes without a response to the notice from the commissioner, the artist will cancel the commission.

For questions or concerns, the artist may be contacted via: VGen DM; Discord (rezia); email; or any other socials listed on this carrd. Please allow for up to 48 hours for a response.

The commissioned art is purely digital. No physical pieces will be provided or shipped.

The commissioner will receive their commissioned art at full resolution without a watermark.

The commissioner is wholly responsible for the delivered files, and all back-ups and edits made after delivery.

Commissioners are encouraged to save the delivered files to their own devices and any backup drives or platforms they feel comfortable using to ensure long-term availability of their files.

All WIPs and validation checks will be sent as lower resolution files with watermarks as a protection against malicious intents.

The artist will inform the commissioner of total payment amount, the expected completion date, and any other relevant details.

The expected completion date is a rough estimate that is the furthest likely deadline. This deadline is flexible depending on the speed at which communication between artist and client occurs, adjustments being made to the commission etc.

Fixes that need to be made due to the artist's negligence (eg. forgotten design details) are free.

Upon passing the final validation check, the full resolution file(s) for the commission will be shared with the commissioner. After delivery, it is no longer the artist's responsibility to make changes to the artwork.

The commissioner will receive a rough sketch in the first validation check. The commissioner may:

If the commissioner is dissatisfied with the sketch even after changes are made, the commissioner may cancel the commission and be refunded.

Once the commissioner is satisfied, the artist will continue working and sending WIPs throughout the process. The commissioner may request updates at any time.

If dissatisfied with the progress of the commission, it is the commissioner's responsibility to inform the artist of what they are unhappy with. The artist will address these specifications to the best of their ability.

Large-scale changes that could have been addressed during the sketch phase (including, but not limited to, outfit changes, big design additions, background changes, moderate to large pose adjustments etc.) will result in additional fees.

Contact regarding this surprise style of commission will be limited to a single validation check at the very end of the process, and if necessary, notices of delays from the stated expected deadline.

The commissioner will not receive any WIPs or previews mid-process. Commissioners are asked only to order this style of commission if they are comfortable granting the artist full control over the process.

The artist will have a degree of artistic freedom with the request. Commissioners are asked only to order this style of commission if they are comfortable granting the artist full control over the process.

The finished commission result will be shown for minor corrections only (eg. color fixes, minor design errors etc.). No large-scale revisions are allowed (eg. poses, backgrounds etc.)

If the commissioner does not respond to the validation check or the next week's follow-up message, the artist will send the finished, full resolution commission as-is. The commissioner will not be allowed to request edits after this point.

Additional Characters: Unless stated otherwise under a specific service, all base prices are per character. The additional fee may be reduced for characters that are not fully in frame, less detailed due to placement in the composition, or are extremely simplistic in shape (eg. blob characters, humorous simplifications etc.)

Complex Designs: This will vary depending on commission type, number of characters and individual design complexity, angles, and whether the artist will need to do research or dig up further reference material (in the event that the commissioner's references are insufficient and the artist needs to supplement due to angle/pose/lack of reference). Some baseline examples of characters that will automatically have a complexity fee include: FFXIV WOLs and NPCs; characters from series such as Genshin Impact, Honkai, Wuthering Waves, Granblue Fantasy, and other similar series.

Belated Alterations: Requests for adjustments to aspects such as poses, design changes, large-scale background changes etc. that come after the sketch approval phase.

Rush Orders: Tighter deadlines will have higher fees. The artist must be allowed a minimum of seven (7) days from submission of the commission request to work with.

Private Commissions: If the commissioner does not wish for the finished art to be shown in any way to the general public, including WIPs and similar progress material or being featured in the artist's portfolio, there is a +50% fee. This does not apply to commissioners who simply want to be kept anonymous.

Monetization & Commercial Use: If the finished art is to be used in monetized content, on a platform with monetization, or in plans for commercial or merchandising, please discuss this with me or, if ordering via VGen, select those licensing options in the order form.

PWYW / "Pay What You Want" service commissions and their relevant fees are calculated based on the offered price.

Artistree automatically adds a fee, which is paid by the commissioner. Please take this into account if planning to order through the Artistree website.

The artist retains all rights to the commissioned artwork, including intellectual property rights.

The artist may:

All artwork commissioned from the artist is, by default, for personal, non-commercial use. The commissioned artwork may not be reproduced or redistributed for commercial purposes without discussing with the artist and obtaining permission to do so after paying the commercial fees.

The commissioner is not allowed to claim credit, ownership or copyright of the artwork.

The commissioner is allowed to print their commissioned art out, use it as wallpaper, banners or profile pictures etc. while providing credit for the piece to the artist.

For commercial use, in which the commissioner wishes to use the artwork on monetized platforms (such as Twitch, YouTube, Patreon etc.), whether as-is or as edits for promotional posts or schedules, and/or on brand accounts, an additional +50% fee must be paid.

For merchandise use, in which the commissioner's usage intent is the above and/or to reproduce the commissioned artwork to sell physical or digital merchandise, an additional 100% fee must be paid.

At no point is the commissioner allowed to use the artist's work in generative AI or NFTs.
