General Terms and Conditions

1.1. Provision of detailed references, character descriptions, color/style preferences, deadlines, and so on is essential for proceeding with a successful commission. Unclear briefs or requests beyond my capabilities may be declined.

1.2. My work provided to you at all stages is not for commercial purposes. If you intend to use them for commercial purposes, please let me know in advance by opting for the commercial-use-rights in the Add-ons.

1.3. Due to the nature and styles of each artist being completely different, the final rendered product may differ slightly from the original references and the value/color sketch phase.

However, if the misalignment still occurs, you may request to change them to your desire with a small fee (if any) specified in each Stage.

2.3. Any additional fixing charges (if applicable) must be paid without delay as specified in the Order Process.

2.4. Failure to receive any payment within three (03) days of the due date will result in the termination of your commission. If you expect a delay, please inform me as soon as possible.

2.5. If you cancel the commission, you will get an 80% refund if the Rough sketch Phase 2 has not started yet, or a 50% refund if the Value/color Sketch Phase 3 has not started yet. No refund will be given once Phase 3 is completed.
