The Client may request up to two (2) revisions. Any further revisions beyond the sketch stage will be subject to an additional fee of $150 per hour.

 

Ownership of Artwork

The Illustrator maintains complete ownership of all artwork, including roughs and related materials, provided to the Client. The Client is not permitted to intentionally alter, damage, or modify the Illustrator's original work without prior written consent.

 

Cancellation Policy

Non-refundable Deposit: A non-refundable deposit of 50% is required upfront before work on the commission begins.

 

Original Artwork Restriction: The Artist will not replicate or recreate any pre-existing artwork that is not of their original creation.

 

Termination of Commission: The Artist reserves the right to cease work on a Commission or cancel a Commission request due to factors such as poor communication, inappropriate behavior, language barriers, or a breach of the agreed-upon Terms of Service. In such cases, a refund will be issued for only half of the deposit, covering the work that has been completed up to that point.

 

Ownership and Usage Rights: By commissioning the Artist, the Client is procuring the Artist’s labor exclusively. The Artist retains all rights to the Commission, encompassing but not limited to distribution, reproduction, and use for self-promotion. Any further use requires agreement in a "Transfer of Copyright Agreement" as defined in the Client Documents. The Client may not distribute, reproduce, or profit from the Commission beyond the resale of the original (traditional art) Commission or as agreed upon in a "Transfer of Copyright Agreement." The Client may not edit, alter, or trace the Commission without the Artist’s expressed written permission, or as stipulated in the Commission Agreement prior to the commencement of work. The Artist also retains full copyright for any preliminary designs and incidental works produced in the creation of the Commission unless otherwise agreed upon.

 

Promotional Use and Merchandise: The Artist may employ images of the Commission for promotional purposes. The Artist may also create and sell Limited Edition Prints or merchandise related to the Commission (e.g., art books) without the need for additional approval from the Client.
