Commission Info

1. Gather your reference materials and resources. These can be from anime, manga, mood boards, LNs, VNs, etc. Text-Only Commissions are not accepted.

2. Press the "Order" button to use my VGen or the google form (when available). I respond within two business days after receiving an inquiry assuming there is no major holidays.

3. Wait for a response. If I accept your request, you'll be added to my waiting list on Trello!  Further discussions will be held via email/VGen's messaging system.

The commissioner must be either of legal age or have their legal guardian's permission to purchase the commission.

Paypal or Stripe only (USD)

Commissions are for personal usage unless discussed otherwise.

You are only purchasing a digital file. No physical goods are being processed! You will receive the full-res illustration as JPEG/PNG file (or ZIP file if compression is needed) with a small watermark. The watermark can not be removed.

Commissions are public. Meaning, the final work can be published on my social media at any time.

I reserve the right to reject any commission for any reason. If I feel I can not complete your request, the commission will be cancelled with a full refund provided.

The commissioner is not allowed to TRACE / EDIT / REPOST / SELL and/or RENDER the artwork in any way not discussed during the commission process. The commissioner also can not REMOVE watermarks and credit.

I have no interest in NFTs (Non-fungible Tokens), any blockchain-related technology, cryptocurrency, AI-generated projects, or any future inventions within those spaces. Do not use my artwork for any of those reasons.

I, Inkfy, maintain the rights to the artwork created for commissions. I do not maintain the rights to any characters owned by the commissioner themselves or from any established IPs. Characters & relevant concepts in fanwork belong to their respective owners. All rights reserved.

Commercial usage is when the commissioner is generating ANY type of profit from the completed artwork. The commissioner is buying the rights to use the artwork for their product.

The commissioner must include what the artwork will be used for and any specifications for the project (e.g. height/width requirements, type of project, etc.).

Commercial commissions will be prioritized before personal commissions. These commissions have a higher priority and don't follow the normal waiting time.

Commercial usage includes: account banners, streaming assets, game assets (title screens, CGs, character portraits, etc.), promotional work, merchandise, Live2D, or anything in which the artwork will be a majority of the presentation.

If the commissioner is planning on making merchandise from my concept design, they would need to purchase the 3x commercial fee. For digital-only goods, the 2x commercial fee is used. If the commission is a mix of both digital AND physical merchandise, the 3x will be used in all cases.

For agencies, businesses, or any product that is used as part of brand (e.g. Vtuber) the 3x commercial rights fee will be used.

For some commercial projects, accommodations can be made with how the artist is credited (e.g. no visible watermark but credit is given in a noticeable description). However, the exclusion of both credit AND watermarks entirely is non-negotiable.

The commissioner DOES NOT have the right to use the artwork in any blockchain-related technology including NFTs, cryptocurrency, AI-generation, and any future inventions within those spaces. This also includes the intention to use said artwork as the base for future GenAI or NFT generation. Failure to abide by this will result in being blacklisted immediately.

If this project is extensive and needs to be described in more detail, it is best to email the description of the project to: [[email protected]].

Full payment is required before working.

An invoice will be sent to the commissioner after all details of the commission have been discussed (e.g. additional fees, correct email, any missing links for refs and/or project details). Work on the commission starts after confirmation of the payment being received.

There is a three-day grace period for payment to be received. If any trouble occurs with sending payments, accommodations can be made assuming there is clear communication.

Commissions greater than $500 USD can have a payment plan/half upfront. This must be discussed before the invoice is sent with the artist's approval to avoid any confusion. If not, the commissioner is expected to pay the full price upfront.

For commissions greater than $500 USD, the full-res, completed commission file will not be delivered until the remaining payment has been received. To assure that the commission is fully completed, the commissioner will be shown a low-res, watermarked .jpg.

Outside of specific circumstances, refunds are only possible during the process of the commission. No refund is possible after the final product has been completed and sent to the commissioner. The cut-off point to get a full refund is BEFORE the "Rendering Phase" on the queue. Once that status is applied to the commissioner's slot, a full refund can not be given as the commission is near-finalized.

These aforementioned circumstances include emergencies, client disapproval, financial issues, sudden cancellations, etc. In those cases, only then will a full refund will be given regardless.

If a chargeback is filed after the commission has been fully completed and sent, the commissioner's right to everything I, the artist, have ever made for them will be retracted. The commissioner will be blacklisted, unable to commission the artist again. A warning will also be sent out to other potential vendors.

If needed be, I, the artist, have every right to file a complaint or report to receive compensation for my work.

Assuming it is not a long term project, every commission has a set date of at least 2-3 weeks after ordering.

Depending on the amount of commissions and other factors such as the artist's, health, family, living conditions, and the complexity of the commission it can take longer.

Commissioners are notified of when work on their commission has started via VGen's notifications and/or email. Their slot on the queue is then moved to the "Sketching Phase".

When I am finalizing the commission, the queue will be marked in the "Rendering Phase". This means your commission is nearly completed!

The final version og the commission will be sent through VGEN's services/your email. Please check your email often!

WIPs are only given after payment. They can be requested by the commissioner OR if details need to be clarified for the commission I will send one.

WIPs can be posted publicly. The only exceptions to this are commercial commissions.

The commissioner is allowed four WIPs maximum. I am willing to provide more WIPs if it's found to be necessary, but this is the hard limit for the majority of commissions.

Minor mistakes such as small color changes, missing accessories, minor bg elements, etc., will be fixed free of charge.

Major changes such as entire outfits, poses, full backgrounds, big color changes, etc., will require an hourly revision fee depending on the time it takes for the revision to be made.

After all potential revisions and negotiations have been made, if the commissioner is still not satisfied, the commission will be cancelled with a full refund provided.

The commissioner does not have any rights to WIPs created for their commission during any stage of progress (this includes cancelled projects).

Use the artwork on non-profit websites and social media accounts (e.g. Twitter (X), Instagram, etc.).

Use the artwork as wallpaper, profile pics/icons, gifts for friends, etc.

Sell the artwork for digital goods and/or merchandise after paying the fees for commercial usage.

Print the artwork but NOT sell them as prints unless agreed to otherwise after paying the fees for commercial usage.

Claim the rights to their character(s) but not the artwork itself and/or the creation of the artwork itself.

Publicly post the artwork online/offline with proper credit given to the artist, Inkfy (@inkfycreates) through linking my website, tagging me in posts, and/or being credited untagged.

Use the copyrighted artwork to promote myself online (e.g. portfolio with watermark, commission website, etc.).

Publish the artwork in advertisements, self-promotions, publish the work in books, etc.

Create timelapse videos of the artwork unless agreed to otherwise for privacy reasons.

Display the artwork anywhere to my liking (e.g. social media, online profiles, etc.).

The following are considered violations of the agreement:

Reproducing, distributing, tracing, editing, selling, and/or using the copyrighted artwork(s) commercially without my consent (meaning generating profit from the commission in any way without it first being agreed upon).

Not receiving proper credit when reposting said artwork (e.g. not linking my website, tagging me in posts, or being properly referenced untagged).

Removing any watermarks/signatures from WIPs or any completed illustrations.

Altering/modifying the artwork without I, the artist's, consent.

Using the completed commission outside of it's intended usage and/or initial purpose (e.g. stating your commission as personal use only, but using it for commercial purposes).

Using any of my illustrations in any blockchain-related technology including NFTs, cryptocurrency, AI-generation or future inventions within those spaces.

If the commissioner breaks the copyright infringement in any way, every right they have to the commission will be retracted. The commissioner will be blacklisted and a warning will be sent out to potential vendors.

Most, if not all commissions will be approximately A4 size (3508 x 2480 px) and 350 dpi.

In rare cases, smaller commissions such as Headshots/Chibis OR square ratios are approximately 3000 x 3000 px in 350 dpi. The canvas will be extended or cropped depending on the formatting.

Any other specifications can be largely discussed. If there's a particular format needed for your commission, please inform me in advance.

There are three price tiers. These include personal usage, commercial usage (2.5x), and (3x).

The initial price is for personal use ONLY (meaning that the completed commission will not generate any profit). Personal use is recommended for profile pictures, gifts for friends/family, personal illustrations for OCs, etc. The recipient can not use the artwork for commercial and promotional purposes!

2.5x pricing is for when the artwork is not the bulk of the product. This includes account banners, streaming assets (schedule, loading screen, social media, etc.), game assets (title screens, CGs, sprites, character design, etc.), promotional material (promotional art, visual key for any commercial project), cover art (digital music albums, light novels, CD covers...). These can be used on monetized platforms. Used for primarily digital-only goods.

3x pricing is for when the artwork IS the bulk of the product. This tier is primarily for when the artwork or concept design will be made into merchandise. This includes fully-illustrated covers, body pillows, T-shirts, postcards, stickers, charms, printed media, etc. This price will be used for expected high-selling products or big businesses/agencies. Used for both digital and physical merchandise.

If the price given is above the commissioner's budget, I will present other commission types and simplifying some elements to help accommodate.

Contacting me with questions regarding prices is non-binding to the commission. If you're unsure how much your commission would be, please ask before making an inquiry!

Extra character = full price.

Character Designing. Any commission that requires a hefty amount of references to develop a character will have a 50% of the initial commission type added as a "Character Designing Fee".

Details such as lots of accessories, complex backgrounds, weapons, mascots, additional expressions for reference sheets/character pages and/or objects not already included in the initial commission (range is between ~$20-50+ USD).

A quote with all additional fees included will be given to the commissioner before asking for payment. Use the charting below as a guideline for what will be quoted. Please consider these fees as a possibility if the commission meets the requirements listed above.
