PERSONAL COMMISSION COPYRIGHT

These commissions prices are for personal use only.

You must not sell, use commercially or earn money from this commission.

 

Personal Use does not allow the commissioner or person which the artwork has been made for to have any rights of the artwork created. This means that the client (commissioner or person that has received the art) may not sell or commercially use the art piece.

Personal use includes not being able to use the artwork for charity work or merchandise even if you are not making money. 

This also includes that personal use artwork should not be used in advertised, promotion or sponsored content.

REQUIREMENTS

Client must be above 18 years old which is the terms to use Paypal.

Client must provide clear reference pictures of the characters that will be drawn in the commission. 
Client may provide reference pictures of poses, lighting, colours or background designs they would like in the commission. 
Please note that I do slightly change designs that have been taken from other Artist's creations without their permission.
This is to avoid me getting in trouble but also to give the client their own design.

Size of the canvas in pixels and DPI 

I usually create my artwork at 300 DPI with a canvas size of 3000 x 3000, 2500 x 4000 or 5000 x 2480 
It is the client's responsibility to let me know which canvas size and DPI is required for their commission or if they need a custom canvas size or DPI.

CMYK, RGB or both 

It is the client's responsibility to let me know if the commissioned piece requires CMYK, RGB or both colour formats before the commission has started. This is as the primary software that I create with does not easily allow me to change between colour formats. Extra time is required if both colour formats are needed. If the client is unsure of which format is needed then please ask for both. 

Commissions are automatically created in RGB (As this format is best for posting online). If the client does not request CMYK then the commission will be made in RGB. 

This is important to look into as most printing companies will print in CMYK and it is important that the correct colour format is selected for the client's needs. (Otherwise the colours will not come out correctly).

File Type 

It is the client's responsibility to let me know which file type is needed for the commission, JPEG, PNG, PSD, TIFF, GIF etc.  
If the client does not let me know then they will receive a JPEG file of the commission.

Intended use of commission

I create each commission with intention, (example an illustrated post online or book illustration etc). Each commission is made for the client's intention for how the art piece is to be used. This is because an art piece made for a profile picture for example may not be the best to put on a t-shirt or merchandise due to the brushes I have used or the colour format used. 

It is the client's responsibility to inform me of how the commissioned piece will be used so that I can effectively create an art piece best for the client's needs.

Contact 

Client must provide way to contact them and send the final commission to. 

Examples of contact: 

Email, Twitter, Instagram, Discord.
