commissions
Commissions Are open!
I will not do any *NSFW art so please don't ask.
Terms and Conditions
If you have a problem with any of these statements, they may be changed if discussed with me prior to requesting your commission slot. (email me at devoetessa@gmail.com to discuss terms)
1. GENERAL TERMS
-
All drawings will include a subtle signature that you may not remove.
-
Prices are subject to change based on demand.
-
I have the right to reject any order that I do not feel comfortable drawing for any reason.
2. PAYMENT
-
Currency accepted in USD
-
Commissions are paid 100% upfront
-
Don't send me any payment before I have agreed to give you a slot and requested you to send me the payment.
3. PROCESS AND DELIVERY
-
I will notify you when I have started on your commission and you, therefore, lose the rights to a refund (see point 7 further below for more info on refunds)
-
While I'm working on your commission I will make reviews with you to make sure I make it just right for you!
-
The amount of reviews depends on the complexity of the work.
-
During the reviews, you will see work-in-progress and these images will usually include a watermark and be smaller than the finished piece.
-
The time it takes to finish your commission varies 1 week - 3 months depending on factors such as health, the complexity of the commissioned piece, other work. (But it is almost always about a week)
-
If anything comes up that will slow the progress of the initially estimated delivery time I will let you know as soon as possible.
-
Once the piece is finished you will receive the full-resolution image along with a web-friendly size, or the physical product.
4. REVISIONS
-
A fee will be added if you want something changed on the final drawing - unless, of course, a misunderstanding from my side has been made.
-
If you wish for me to change something complicated in the drawing that you have previously approved, I will charge you a fee to change it. The amount of the extra charge depends on the change you want me to make and is usually based on an hourly wage.
5. COPYRIGHT / USAGE POLICY
-
I, Tessa De Voe (the artist), claim the rights to the produced drawing, not the buyer. Therefore I am allowed to use the copyrighted artwork to:
-
Promote myself with it everywhere
-
Publish books with it (artbooks, etc.)
-
Display it everywhere to my liking (website, social media, etc.)
-
Post it wherever I want
-
Unless it is a personal portrait, then I will respect your privacy!
-
The buyer is allowed to:
-
Use the commissioned piece for personal use (you can upload it on all your social media profiles, forums, etc.)
-
Print the artwork and claim the character(s) as their own, but not the artwork itself.
-
Use the artwork to promote themselves. You are not required to give me credit when you post it but it is very appreciated.
-
Use the artwork on their Youtube channel and in monetized videos as long as the artwork itself is not the main subject for the earnings.
-
-
The following is considered copyright infringement:
-
Reproducing/using the copyrighted artwork commercially - means making money off it in any way.
-
Claiming the artwork as your own
-
Removing my signature from the artwork
-
Altering the artwork without my consent
-
-
I reserve the full rights to the image and its use/distribution unless otherwise agreed upon (rights to the image for your own non-personal use may be purchased at any time for an additional $10-20 depending on the size of the piece).
6. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
-
I will do everything I can to make my customers happy!
-
If you have a problem with anything in regards to the commissioned piece please tell me right away so we can find a solution together.
-
I am willing to change some of my terms for you if you ask before I start on your commission. If you do not want me to post your art anywhere, this can be arranged!
7. REFUND / CANCELLATION POLICY
-
The buyer is not allowed a refund once I started working on the commission.
-
If for any reason I am unable to start your commission you will receive a full refund.
-
If you cancel your order before I started it, you can get a full refund.
-
If you are getting a refund, do not request a Paypal chargeback. I will transfer the money back to you myself.
-
If you request a Paypal charge-back at any point when you were not allowed to ask for a refund you will lose all before mentioned rights to the commissioned piece and I will have the full right to profit further from it in any way. I will decline the charge-back and supply Paypal with our conversations in which we talk about the commission as evidence that I have completed work for you. Furthermore, you will be blacklisted for commissioning me again.
(requesting a Paypal charge-back can negatively effect my future sales so i take this pretty seriously)
If the buyer breaks any of the points stated above I will give them warning and time to correct there mistake, otherwise they will lose all the before mentioned rights to the artwork commissioned by me, Tessa De Voe (the artist), and I will have the right to profit further from the commissioned artwork in any way I see fit. If you have a problem with any of these statements, they may be changed if discussed with me prior to paying your commissioned piece.
What you get:
-
Drafts/mockups that you must decide which one I should continue with (depending on the complexity of the commission there might be fewer or more drafts)
-
Sketch and/or final sketches that you must approve before I continue the work
-
Insight and involvement in color plan (depending on the complexity of the commissioned piece)
-
Full-resolution file of final drawing and/or a smaller version for internet upload. Final file formats are usually PNG, or the physical product.
You can also choose to opt-out of the reviews and approvals, but then any major changes to the finished piece will come with extra charges.
Pricing:
All Pricing is Negotiable!
portraits and profile pictures:
Base pricing starts at $40 and increases depending on the style and complexity. These are shoulder-up drawings and will require you to provide references. (You can make these fun and creative; I just need to know what you look like as base.)
Character illustrations:
DND Characters, OCs, favorite fandom characters, and more! These full illustrations start at $50. The price increases depending on the number of characters in the piece and their complexities. Detailed descriptions and/or reference images are required. (Pinterest boards are awesome!)
