Legal stuff

All rights to the art I create, including commissions, belong exclusively to me. You may neither sell nor exchange my art in any form, physical or digital, print or NFT, under any circumstances unless you have my express written permission and you have paid for the rights to do so. You may not use my art in any published material, even free material, on any online or physical marketplace.

Unless exclusive rights are purchased I retain all rights to use and monetize my art in any way I choose. This includes the sale of prints, online sales, marketing, published materials, or any other merchandise.

Please join my Telegram channel — t.me/naptimesart! Most of the WIPs I post for art go there. I post things that people on FA, Twitter, Facebook, and other socials won’t normally see.

Commission rules

1. You must have your money and ideas ready before commissioning me! I will not start unless I have received payment in full. If the commission cost is over $300, we can discuss potential payment plans.
2. You must be over 18 when commissioning me. No minors allowed, even if no adult material is involved in the commission.
3. No refunds after I start, unless I can’t finish or decide not to — in that case I will give a full refund. Do not expect a finished piece on the same day it was commissioned. Give me at least a week before checking in!
4. I often alter colors or designs slightly based on what I feel will look best, so if you prefer character colors be “exact” please reach out before the art is finished.
5. I will send you a sketch WIP before proceeding. All issues with pose or anatomy should be fixed at the sketch stage (aside from colors, obviously). I will not make major line art changes after I start coloring, unless I actually forgot something when lining. Color changes are okay, but please try to let me know before I start any cell shading — otherwise it takes me a lot more time.
6. Once the completed image is approved by the commissioner, I will not alter it. If the image must be altered (and I still have it) I will charge you depending on the complexity of the change, and you will be responsible for paying it after I finish.
7. Please make sure you give me proper references and descriptions before commissioning me. It’s frustrating to have to change things I was never informed of in the first place. If I am designing a new character for you from a text description with no reference images, please be as descriptive as you can. The more details you give me for a description-based commission, the better.
8. You may post your commission wherever you like as long as it is for personal use.
9. Please ask permission before altering my work. I generally don’t want anyone changing my artwork unless it’s very minor, or adding some type of filter.
10. You may not use my work for profit unless you have my permission. If you intend to use my work for profit, tell me ahead of time and we can discuss from there. This includes T-shirts, stickers, etc., since most of these printing websites can use my art for profit once the image is uploaded to their platform.
11. All for-profit or business-related work may be charged differently depending on the project’s intention and work required.
12. I reserve the right to refuse service for any reason.

Payments and refunds

All payments for artwork and custom pieces must be paid through PayPal or Venmo. All payments are made or converted to United States Dollars (USD), but I will work with overseas customers!

• When using PayPal, wait for me to send you the payment request. If you already know my PayPal, please do not just send money.
• When using Venmo, we will personally discuss payments via DM before sending money — however, please try to use PayPal first.

If your project has already been started, no refund is permitted. If you wish to cancel your commission before it has been started, the refund will be discussed in DM and issued in full or 50/50 payments.

If we agree on a payment plan and you neglect to pay for the project, you may only be entitled to a portion of the refund or nothing at all.

Once your project is completed, no refunds are permitted. If you do have to get a refund for whatever reason, just reach out to me in DM and we can sort it out.

Special options

The following fees are based on the total cost of the base price plus any add-ons.

• Rush job: +50% of total price (skip the line, or hit the deadline — start it tomorrow)
• Exclusivity / NDA: +100% of total price (pay for ownership and/or silence)

Traditional art

If you purchase traditional art such as prints or badges and wish to have it mailed to you, you will be required to pay the shipping fee (usually just a small flat-rate envelope).

The media used in the artwork can be discussed via DM, but it’s generally limited to Copic markers, colored pencil, and acrylic paint.

• Badges come with a badge clip and a business card when mailed. Badges come laminated.
• Printed illustrations are mailed in a protector to keep them from bending.
• Anything miscellaneous that isn’t flat paper will be mailed in the smallest packaging available.
