Upon completion, commissioners will receive the piece as a 300 DPI .PNG, without a watermark for personal use. Also included will be a more compressed piece with a watermark; please use this watermarked piece when sharing online!
Unless discussed beforehand, commissions are only for personal use. The use of the commissioned work in any form of advertising or promotions is not allowed, nor is printing and selling copies of the prints. Do not alter the finished piece. Cropping for icons/ headers is ok.
DO NOT USE COMMISSIONS FOR NFTS. I categorically do not consent to my art being used in any capacity relating to cryptocurrency of any kind.
I reserve the right to refuse commissions that I am not comfortable with.

During the commission process clients:

Are more than welcome to ask for updates! I will share wips as I work, but feel free to ask for updates whenever you like (within reason)
Are allowed to request 3 revisions. Note: you cannot ask for a revision after the commission is finished and the final file is sent unless it's really small.
Are allowed to cancel for a full or partial refund. If I haven't started the piece then you will receive a full refund, but if I have started then you will receive a partial refund in relation to how much I have finished.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email or DM me on twitter.
