Terms of Service

I reserve to update the ToS at any time. By ordering a commission you agree to my Terms of Service listed below.

. Please note that this set up is running trial right now and might change on future commissions you order from me. 

After receiving a proposal, you have a maximum of 7 days to accept by making the first payment (unless otherwise agreed). If the payment is not sent within 7 days, the commission might be cancelled to keep my availability in order. You are free to reach out with your request again once you are ready to pay (if I'm still available) and then you will get a new deadline!

For the second half of the payment: I will not continue with the colour pass of your commission until the second milestone (sketch approval) is paid, so if you do not pay on time, this can affect your deadline. If the second milestone remains unpaid for more than 7 days, the commission might be cancelled depending on my availability, unless otherwise agreed. If you run into any kind of emergencies or delay in payments the first step is always to let me know so we can figure things out together! :)

(Charges for extra revisions will not be included in the original proposal)

The amount of included revisions is always listed under the "Details" tab.

If you require additional revisions, they will cost 10€-20€ per round of changes during sketch phase depending on how big the change is. If the sketch is being entirely or close to entirely redrawn, charge is 50€. Additional revisions or small fixes during colour stage (colour changes only) cost 10€ each.

Deadlines and delivery as specified in the Details tab.

As a general rule, if you have a deadline for your artwork, you should always communicate it with me when you first order. You can find the estimated delivery times for each commission type on their Details tab. If you need a drawing faster than what the estimated delivery time is,  please let me know how much faster so I can determine if the new deadline is humanly possible  (I most likely can't draw and animate a full background in a day regardless of how much money you throw at me :D).

Please note that I can accept or decline rush deliveries depending on my availability. I can never 100% guarantee a delivery to a specific date due to factors out of my control like natural disasters or emergencies - the delivery time of your com also depends on how quickly you are able to respond to sent sketches/questions. I will however try my best to complete ahead of time and stay in communication with you!

Can I use your art in anything NFT/ Crypto related?

Can I use your art to create AI artwork based on it/ train an AI/ use as Initiation image prompt?

​Yes, but you need to give credit to me (unless a no-credit option is purchased), and please don't claim you made it yourself!

Whenever you use my artwork online, credit is required unless agreed otherwise. When giving credit, please use @Dornenspieler for username tags or my linktree (

Please don't publish WIP-pictures I send you without asking me first, thanks ♥

You are buying the non-exclusive license to use the artwork, no copyright is being transferred. You are not obtaining the right to re-sell the image or re-license the image to a third party unless you purchased the "Commercial: Merchandise" option.

I am allowed to freely display and publish my completed works on my social media/ portfolio unless a privacy fee has been purchased. When publishing a commission I made for you on my portfolio or other media, I will try to respect your debut and reveal plans as to not leak a design beforehand, but I can't 100% guarantee it if there is unclear communication. If you want me to keep a commission secret until a specific date, please inform me at the time of ordering.

Once you have accepted the proposal, refunds are only partially possible, so please be absolutely sure you can and want to order from me. Commissions can move from sketch to second milestone within a short time-span, so you should always ensure you have the payment for the full price available before you order, unless otherwise agreed.

If you cancel the commission, you pay depending on how much has been done:

✦ If I didn't start yet* - full refund. 

Only use in case of emergency, because I plan my availability based on orders

✦ If I have already started by the time you cancel, I will keep the deposit (50% of total price) but you won't have to pay the second milestone

✦ If the commission has moved past an approved sketch (= if the second milestone has been paid), refunds are not possible anymore.

Starting on a commission doesn't just mean sketches. A new client means lots of explaining, questions, setting up the status trackers with your information, gathering reference, creating messy edits/sketches to clarify details, doing research or having extensive client communications if a brief is requires a lot of refinement/back and forth, is unclear, keeps changing or language barriers are in place. This is why in almost every case, preparation work will be put in motion right after you accept the proposal and a request to cancel even a few hours later might mean you can't get a full refund anymore.

Of course any clarifying questions you want to ask before an accepted/paid proposal are not influencing this :)

If the commission is cancelled by me, you will get a full refund regardless of how much work has been finished. I reserve to cancel and refund a commission at any time.

It's been a while since I used VGen and there was no DM function then, so if you run into any issues, misunderstandings or questions during or after your commission process, please always try to contact me first and I'm happy to help!

If contacting me via VGen somehow doesn't work, please try dornenspieler@gmail.com 

Terms of Service - Surprise Me

For Surprise me Commissions, you will be required to send the full payment upfront. Upon receiving the proposal, you have 7 days to accept the commission and make the payment. If you don't pay within 7 days after receiving the proposal, I might cancel the commission because VGen doesn't have an option to update the guaranteed delivery date yet, but you can always send another request once you are ready to pay :)

Please note that "Surprise me" Commissions do not allow for any revisions. You'll receive the final result as a surprise!

Delivery in 1-2 weeks in PNG format. The "Surprise Me" commission type does not include a sent WIP image. There is no rush delivery option for "Surprise Me" commissions.

Can I use the "Surprise me" commission on my stream or social media pages?

Can I use the "Surprise me" commission to re-sell digital goods or merchandise?

You are buying the non-exclusive license to use the artwork, no copyright is being transferred. You are not obtaining the right to re-sell the image or re-license the image to a third party.

I am allowed to freely display and publish my completed works on my social media/ portfolio. 

Once I have accepted the commission, refunds are only partially possible.

- For Surprise Me Coms, if I have already started by the time you cancel, refunds are not possible.

Please note that I sometimes start sketching immediately after accepting a commission, so even cancelling an hour after ordering might mean only a partial refund is possible.

On a Surprise Me commission, WIPs will not be provided. I will send you the final image as a surprise ♥

If you run into any issues, misunderstandings or questions during or after your commission process, please always try to contact me first and I'm happy to help!

Terms of Service (Asset Designs)

If you are listing Twitter-DMs as your preferred contact method, please make sure your account allows DMs. 

There are cases where I might reach out before sending a proposal if more info is needed in order to define the pricing (like conflicting info about Add-ons). I'll try contacting you via Twitter/Discord/E-Mail so please check your messages if you notice that your request form hasn't been answered. If you don't respond to any of my attempts to contact you, I might cancel the commission to keep my availability in order. You are free to reach out with your request again of course, just make sure you address the open questions or make yourself available for outstanding questions!

You will be required to send half the payment upfront and the second half when the sketch is approved. Please note that this set up is running trial right now and might change on future commissions you order from me. 

Charges for extra revisions will not be included in the original proposal, so if you want to purchase additional revisions, I will set up a new hidden payment widget for you.

If you require additional revisions, they will cost 5€-20€ per round of changes during sketch phase depending on how big the change is. Additional revisions during colour stage (colour changes only) cost 5€ each.

Please note that after the image has been coloured, major design/perspective changes etc. will not be possible. Small fixes might be allowed for free on a case by case basis.

Rush fees (delivery under 3 weeks) are +50% of final price

I am allowed to freely display and publish my completed works on my social media/ portfolio. When publishing a commission I made for you on my portfolio or other media, I will try to respect your debut and reveal plans as to not leak a design beforehand, but I can't 100% guarantee it if there is unclear communication or if the date is too far in the future. If you want me to keep a commission secret until a specific date, please inform me at the time of ordering.

I'm happy to talk via Discord since it allows a quick exchange of questions and WIPs/updates, but if you don't want to share your handle that's totally fine. Twitter DMs or e-mails are good options too.

Two rounds of revisions at sketch phase & two rounds at colour stage (only colour changes) are included in the price 

Please note that after the image has been coloured, major design/perspective changes etc. will not be possible.

Small fixes might be allowed for free on a case by case basis.

There is an extra charge for particularly complex architecture or images with a lot of detail, for example many shelves with many items in them, or ornate/antique furniture, wide shots with lots of objects standing around etc.

This varies from image to image, so the charge can vary (+50-200€) if you have multiple points of complexity.

, it depends on the subject of your image, so please provide enough detail in your order description so I can determine if your project needs an extra charge! If there is an extra charge, the price will be defined in the proposal sent to you to confirm :)

JPG 3840 x 2160 px (if you need a different format please let me know)

PSD file only if Add-on "Split Layers for Animation" is purchased (Layergroups will be merged into animate-able parts)

4 - 8 weeks after all details have been confirmed

(Please note: This is an average delivery time. It means your commissions CAN be delivered earlier, but will be guaranteed within the maximum of 8 weeks. If you have a hard deadline of 4 weeks or less, please see  "Rush Fees" for guaranteed deliveries, thanks!)

Additional time-of-day variant (night time, sunset...) + 50€

Delivery in under 4 weeks: +50% of final price including Add-ons/ No-attribution charges*

Delivery in 2 weeks or less: +100% of final price  including Add-ons/ No-attribution charges*

*No-attribution charges occur when a project can't give credit to me as an artist when using the artwork, this is  an option you can select in the Request Form.

Anything quicker than that will need custom pricing depending on the time window and size of project.

Delivery time starts at the time of accepted proposal/payment of first milestone, not on the day of sending the request form, so please keep this in mind!

Please note that Rush Fee commissions are subject to availability. Respecting client deadlines is very important to me, so if my current availability doesn't allow me to deliver to your required deadline, I will decline your commission so you can find an alternative artist or re-submit for a later deadline!

Please note that the delivery time can never be 100% guaranteed due to factors out of my control, such as your response time, emergency or natural disaster. If I cannot deliver the commission in the agreed rush time window, a refund of the rush fee is possible (unless it's due to your response time). 

I put pride into communication with my clients whenever something comes up, so please don't be shy to bring up any issues or worries you might have so we can resolve them together. We're on the same team!

​If you are unsure about complexity charges and would like me to take a look before sending a request, feel free to ask me first! (via Twitter DM: @dornenspieler/ @dornenshop or via e-mail)
