Commissions

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU CONTACT ME.Terms of Service#GeneralBy purchasing or commissioning an illustration from me, you agree to the following Terms of Service.I retain the copyright to all illustrations I create. Purchasing an illustration does not automatically transfer the copyright or all usage rights to the buyer. The buyer receives only the usage rights described in these Terms of Service.#PaymentPayment is made through the payment methods I offer.For custom commissions, full or partial payment may be required in advance. Unless otherwise agreed, the finished illustration in full resolution will only be provided after full payment has been received.#Communication and ReferencesPlease describe as clearly and accurately as possible what you would like the illustration to look like. The more detailed your description and references are, the better I can understand and implement your wishes.You may provide reference images, including examples from other artists or photographs. These references are intended solely to communicate things such as the desired pose, mood, color scheme, composition, anatomy, or other specific details. They are not intended as permission to copy another artist's style or artwork.Please communicate important wishes, changes, and details as early as possible so they can be taken into account during the appropriate stage of the process.#Changes and RevisionsA revision is defined as one coherent request for corrections or changes to the artwork.Multiple changes can be included in a single revision. For example, the request “Could you make the eyes a little bigger and the nails a little longer?” counts as one revision.However, if changes are requested separately, they count as separate revisions. For example, if you first ask “Could you make the eyes bigger?”, I make the requested correction, and you then ask “Could you make the nails longer?”, this counts as two revisions.Please therefore make sure that your revision requests contain all changes you would like to have made at that point. Requesting changes one at a time unnecessarily extends the workflow.#Sketch PhaseTwo revisions are included free of charge during the sketch phase.Starting with the third revision, an additional fee of €15 will be charged for each further revision.During this phase, larger changes to the subject, pose, and general composition can still be made.#Outline PhaseOne revision is included free of charge during the outline phase.At this stage, smaller changes to the character's appearance or pose are still possible, such as making the eyes slightly larger or the fingernails longer.Changes to the character's fundamental positioning or major changes to the pose are no longer possible at this stage.Starting with the second revision, an additional fee of €15 will be charged for each further revision.#Coloring PhaseDuring the coloring phase, revisions are only possible if I have incorrectly placed or forgotten a marking or another previously agreed-upon detail.In such cases, as many corrections as necessary will be made until the marking or detail has been implemented correctly.Other changes or new requests that could have been addressed during an earlier phase do not qualify as free revisions.#Shading and Highlighting PhaseOne revision is included free of charge during the shading and highlighting phase.At this stage, revisions are limited to changes to the overall appearance of the shading and lighting, such as increasing or reducing contrast or making the overall image darker or lighter.Fundamental changes to the subject, pose, positioning, or previously approved details are no longer possible at this stage.Starting with the second revision, an additional fee of €15 will be charged for each further revision.#Use of the ArtworkThe buyer receives the right to use the purchased illustration for personal, non-commercial purposes.This includes, for example:* Using the artwork as a profile picture or banner
* Posting the artwork on personal social media accounts
* Using the artwork as a personal wallpaper
* Printing the artwork for personal usePlease credit me as the artist whenever reasonably possible.Without my explicit written permission, the following is not allowed:* Commercial use of the artwork
* Using the artwork for merchandise or other products
* Using the artwork for advertising or other business purposes
* Removing my signature or watermark
* Editing or altering the artwork
* Using the artwork for AI training
* Uploading the artwork to AI datasets
* Claiming the artwork as your own
* Transferring the copyrightPlease contact me in advance if you would like to use an illustration commercially or require extended usage rights.#Resale and Transfer of Usage RightsThe usage rights granted with the illustration may be resold or transferred to another person.However, the usage rights may only be resold for the original purchase price or less. They may not be resold for a higher price than the original purchase price.The copyright remains with me even if the usage rights are transferred to another person.#Cancellations and RefundsA full cancellation with a full refund is only possible if no payment has been made and work on the commission has not yet begun.Once payment has been made, the commission is considered started. Work and preparation already take place before the actual sketch phase. This includes, for example, communicating with the buyer, searching for and reviewing references, and reserving a time slot for the commission.If the buyer wishes to cancel the commission after payment but before the sketch has been completed, the full price of the sketch must still be paid. The buyer will, of course, receive the sketch that has already been created, even if they cancel before it has been completed.Cancellation is no longer possible after the outline phase has been completed. From this point onward, at minimum the full price of an illustration with outlines and flat coloring must be paid.This also applies if the buyer decides not to continue with the commission after the outline phase or during or after the coloring phase. Costs for work already completed up to that point will not be refunded.No refunds are available for completed illustrations, to the extent permitted by applicable law.#My Right to Display the ArtworkI retain the right to display and use illustrations I have created in my portfolio, on my website, on my social media accounts, and for self-promotion, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.#Changes to These TermsThese Terms of Service may be updated or changed at any time.For commissions that have already been accepted or started, the Terms of Service that were in effect at the time the commission was agreed upon will generally apply.
