Illustrations/ Character Art

by commissioning me, you agree to the following:

 - You will provide as much info as necessary regarding intended project usage and agree to discuss additional uses or changes with me, the artist, after project start.

​- Neither commissioner nor anyone else is allowed to edit, trace, copy, heavy reference from the drawing in any way or use it as assets to your fitting, including the use of the artwork as a "base" or remove the watermark from the finished product. 

You're not allowed to claim my art as your own, even in the case of a paid commission.

Credits to me (©paulluxh; the artist) or a link going back to one of my socials must be explicitly given anytime the art is showcased.

​- No one is allowed to mint my artwork as a NFT (Non Fungible Token); I'm not interested in partaking in cryptocurrencies and NFTs. My art, whether commissioned, pre-existing or merchandise work, can not be minted into an NFT by commissioner nor anyone else.

​- No one is allowed to upload my art, even commissioned one, in an AI databank and create AI art with it!

I reserve the right to refuse any project.

All payments are handled by the VGen payments system.

The work process starts after the pay has been made.

Totaling above 350€, payments may be split, with 50% due up front and 50% due upon sketch approval or first work in progress.

The sketch phase is your chance to tell me what you want changed

: expressions, details, pose, etc. Please don't be shy if something really doesn't sit well with you. I do my best to capture the character's personality based on the information I got but sometimes I do mistakes, especially if it wasn't clear from the order.

 I will keep the project open for a week for final revisions

. The client should continue to make revision requests through DMs. 

Revision requests made after this period will be considered an “upgrade” project

 and will be processed and scheduled as such.

Once the artwork is finished I can do small changes such as color adjustments and/or adding tiny details I may have forgotten. 

I will only make changes to the final piece if it was an error on my part (i.e. I missed a detail that you had provided in the order).

If your reference was unclear to start with, then you are not allowed to do minor changes without a fee. Make sure to be clear in your order what you aim for.

I reserve the right to stream the progress and to post on social media. The client agrees to specify in their application and ticket if they wish for any materials or work to be hidden.

In case of a delay, I will contact the client to discuss the new scope and schedule.

I will directly upload updates and Work In Progresses at set intervals throughout the project on my Trello.

I can provide additional WIPs by client request on a case-by-case basis when time is available.

If the client fails to respond to feedback/revision requests within 5 days, I reserve the right to continue with the project.

Continuous non-communication of two weeks will result in the project to be considered finished in its current state and will be sent to the client.

Deadlines are to be discussed prior to all commissions. 

The client agrees not to use project deliverables to create any derivative works, repurposed assets, or for any commercial purposes outside of the initial intended use.

The client may contact me to discuss any additional uses after a project is completed.

If a client is malicious, the artist may retract the rights to a commission (e.g. racism, sexism, slander)

The client reserves the right to use the commission for their personal usage, this includes but not limited to print for personal display, wallpaper, posted as profile icons on websites/social medias as long as they give proper credits to the artist.

I hold every right to the finished commission, not the client. This means we are allowed to use the commission in our portfolio and for promotional purposes.

Commissions are personal use only unless discussed otherwise and the commercial rights have been bought. 

The client will not be able to take credit for the creation of the commission, remove any watermark/signatures from illustrations, or alter/edit the commission without permission.

Once work has begun on the project, I cannot offer a refund under normal circumstances.

If a project cannot be completed due to incapacitation of the artist, the client will be offered a refund and project deliverables based on current project completion and scope on a case-by-case basis.

The client agrees not to file a chargeback without first contacting me.

If you would like to see a WIP of your commission please don't hesitate to ask.

I am not in charge of sending WIPs unless asked for or I feel the need to.

Rude/disrespectful/abusive commissioners will have their commission immediately cancelled with a refund based on how much of the artwork was completed.

Skeb

For the Skebs there will be no communication throuout the process! I will conact you in the beginning after accepting your request for the payment and once I'm done with your skeb.

Character Design

I will first work on rough sketches and thumbnails baised on the references and information given to me. After deciding on a direction with the help of the thumbnails I will work on 1-3 more defined sketches for the design. From this point on you have 3 main revisions. More revisions can be done with additional charges.

Emotes

Emotes arleady include the commercial use.

The client will not be able to take credit for the creation of the commission or alter/edit the commission without permission.
