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.

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!

. 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, so if you want to purchase additional revisions, I will set up a new hidden payment widget for you.

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

If you require additional revisions, they will cost 15€-30€ 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.

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

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. 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.

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.

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 (please ensure your Twitter acc allows DMs in that case).

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 - 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 ♥

Terms of Service (Asset Designs)

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. 

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.

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.
