Ryou's ART Guideline and TOS (2023)

Please check my Twitter/X or Trello for any specific commission openings.

– VTubers / Streamers / Personal Friends can request any commission type(s) if they wish to work with me but please discuss your preferred project timeline and my schedule first!

 Anything as long as there are references such as characters! I will not accept the commission if there is only text description unless it's for miscellaneous stuff.

 Some services may have different lists but this is the general:

 OCs, Streamers/VTubers, Objects/Items, Memes, Anime/Game characters, Real People.

 Mecha/Extremely detailed robots. Heavy Armor, Heavy-NSFW (R), Gore.

How should I, the client, prepare my files for you, the artist/designer?

 Big thanks to Mymelune on Twitter/X for creating this guideline for clients to use as example to prepare a brief! With this guide, you can also create a Google Slides with a shared link to me on what you want! 

What does the completed commission(s) include?

 Commission includes high-resolution image files (png/jpg) excluding watermark sent via email or other methods (ie. Discord.)

– If you want the work file (psd/ai/clip/sai), there is an additional charge depending on the service type.

– Can be used for Personal Use. There is an additional charge for any Business/Commercial Usage.

– Sharing on other social media is allowed as long as there is proper credit.

 USD (United States Dollars). VGen converts the prices into the currency of where you're viewing my page so Add-Ons have to be converted manually.

 I use the XP-PEN Artist 13.3 pen display and Clip Studio Paint EX. Then use various Adobe programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere, etc for other/extra editing.

Do NOT ask me to replicate another artist's/designer's works.

 You MAY provide their work as references/inspiration.

 I do not support crypto currencies/NFTs and the request will be automatically denied.

No AI programs will be used in my work nor can they use my work for any use.

 Those programs use other artists' work without their consent or acknowledgement nor I allow AI programs to use my work.

Weekdays are usually working days and Weekends are dont-work-too-much time!

 We all need to take breaks so weekends are usually my off-days unless I'm really into a project.

– Up to a certain amount, the commission can be split into smaller payments.

Commissions are done in a respective time-frame unless stated otherwise.

– Will do my best to get commissions done respectively as soon as possible after the payment(s) have been made depending on schedule.

– Commissions with tighter deadlines will be prioritized first.

– Rush Commissions will have an additional fee starting from 25% of the total commission price. Please read each of my Services' guideline carefully.

All assets from the client such as reference images, other kinds of files, etc. are required before I can start the commission.

– If you have your own files to use, please make sure it's 100% your own, permission granted by the original creator/owner, free public-use, or purchased with a respective license.

– As a creative, neither you or me wants to deal with any copyright/plagiarism/art theft issues.

The commissioner cannot receive their completed commission files until ALL payments have been made.

I have full rights to turn down your commission request, no questions ask.

PLEASE properly credit me if you use any of my works.

All and any information in our discussions will remain private.

If the commission requires a stricter NDA, a fee may be applied. Extra discussion required either through Email, Twitter/X, and/or Discord.

 I'm a human person, I may have other work to do besides Art/Design Commissions, so please be understandable and patient, thank you!

– Starting 2024, prices will be raised to accommodate fees by VGen/Stripe/PayPaI.

If you cannot commission me but still want to support, you may tip on my k0-fi or help me fund something on my Throne gifts, links in my carrd!

After a certain amount of extra revisions, client must pay additional fees per revision.

Please be very straightforward if your commission has a soft/hard deadline or a general timeline you wish to work with.

Finally delivery of commissions will be sent via VGen or email.

Personal Use already included free for all services.

Business/Commercial Use will have an extra charge depending on the service/items.

I do not allow my work to be used for NFTs, AI programs, or used negatively against certain people and fandoms.

I may use any commission as part of my portfolio. If any client asks to keep anonymous, they will remain anonymous.

At least 50% of the commission is non-refundable after the first stages of the commissions has already been  worked on.

The commission cannot be refunded once near completion and/or ready for delivery to the client.
