RE-POSTING COMMISSIONED PIECES, CREDITING, EDITING AND PRINTING ARTWORKRe-posting pieces you have commissioned from me is encouraged but it is required that you credit me properly in the description. That means providing a direct link to my Website, Social media page(s) or gallery. If you are unsure of anything, please feel free to ask.If you do not link back to me properly, you will be asked to remove the piece or fix the description, any outright refusal to link back to or credit me will result in you being blacklisted. You may not claim my artwork as your own, and doing so will result in being blacklisted. Edits to the artwork (changing colours or body parts) is not allowed unless explicit permission is given, in most situations I am ok with you colouring lines you’ve commissioned but please just ask! Please credit me even if you have put a filter or background on any artwork.If you would like to print out your commissioned artwork to hang on your wall or for personal use, go ahead! If you wish to reproduce my artwork for profit, you may have to pay a reproduction fee,
please section see below!I reserve all rights to sell prints and other merchandise of any artwork I produce, this does does not mean I am selling the work or characters featured, the original commission retains the ownership of the image and characters.

REPRODUCING ARTWORK, USE IN MARKETING AND LOGOSWhen commissioning me for any artwork that you will be reproducing to sell or use as marketing I ask that you pay a one time reproduction fee that varies from $50-$200 AUD. The fee gives you the rights to reproduce this artwork on/in any apparel/merchandise, websites, and any other physical or digital media. The fee varies depending on volume and way you wish to reproduce and the size of the job so please discuss this with me upon commissioning!

BLACKLISTIf you have been blacklisted, I will not be amenable to offering you goods or services.
I'm not be approached when dealing at conventions, but there may need to be exceptions.Blacklist-able offences may be; refusal to pay, claiming my work, tracing (without discussion first), abusive behavior towards myself or friends.If it is discovered that someone currently on the blacklist utilized a proxy (someone/alt accounts) to purchase goods or services from me, that person or account may be blacklisted as well.All decisions on blacklisting are mine and mine alone, the blacklist is private and not shared, with minor exceptions.

MY RIGHTS AS AN ARTISTWhen you commission me, you are receiving it under a personal use license. This means you may download it, re-post (with credit as mention above, of course) but you MAY NOT make any profit from my artwork unless the mentioned reproduction payment is made.I also reserve the right to use any images as/in advertisements, as commission examples or in prints to sell at conventions. In selling prints I am not selling the art or character, simply a copy of a piece for someone to display.If you would like me to use the line art or sketches of another artist PLEASE make sure you have explicit permission from said artist before you contact me, and I will likely ask to see proof of permission.

I Reserve the right to refuse any commission for whatever reason, personal or other. Please be understanding if I refuse your commission, I am a human being.The terms of service stated above are subject to change and are reviewed every 6 months. Last updated: 05/09/23
