just started/rough sketch : you are allowed to make changes and provide as much feedback as you want.
halfway done and onwardsi will not allow any further major edits at this stage unless it's related to colour.
⒋ when i'm finished, i will send you the final product! please refer to the terms of use below if you plan to use my art online. what you will receive... 
ㆍa private google drive folder to download the finished product at the highest quality possible.

 payment info... 
all payments MUST be made through venmo or paypal. all prices listed are in USD and must be converted to your local currency if you live outside of the U.S.
ㆍi will start working on your commission once i receive payment. if i do not receive payment within 1 week of confirming your request, i will assume you have cancelled your request and i will not work on it. you will have to contact me again to resume the commission process (no need to submit another form unless you are commissioning something else entirely!)
ㆍplease do not send commission payments without my approval! i might consider it a tip or donation.
ㆍi can negotiate prices depending on the situation but please be respectful if i happen to deny additional discounts.
payments are final, no refunds.
 things to know before ordering... 
ㆍplease check my to-do list to get a rough estimate of how busy i am before buying art from me! if my commissions are closed, i may have a delayed response to your request. please be patient with me if this is the case!
i will not change my art style to look like someone else's nor will i blatantly copy ideas. if you want me to take heavy inspiration from something, please know i will likely put my own spin on it to make it more original. keep my art style in mind before commissioning me.
please have references prepared before you fill out an order form! i accept reference sheets, written descriptions, pinterest boards, etc. i will not come up with ideas from scratch for you unless it is a small detail where you allow me creative freedom.
• i have the right to reject any commission. please do not take this personally!

TERMS OF USE

ㆍi own the rights to my own art. just because you pay for it doesn't necessarily mean you can claim it as yours.
my art is for personal use only and is not meant for commercial use. if you want to use my art for commercial use, please talk about it with me first.
do not edit, trace, or claim my art as your own. if you are making minor edits (adding text, recolouring, animating, etc.) please contact me for permission before doing so.
ㆍi have the right to post my art publicly online, but please let me know if you do not want me to do so beforehand.
you MUST give me credit if you are using or posting my art anywhere. no exceptions. you can do this by including my social media link(s) in your bio, caption, description, etc. if you are still unsure how or where to credit me (especially if you want to make it more discreet or subtle), feel free to talk to me about it!


LOYALTY POINTS

loyalty stars are an additional way for me to say "thank you" to those who consistently support me by commissioning me multiple times! how it works...  after commissioning me, you automatically receive...20 ★ for every bug eyed character
30 ★ for every semirealistic character
5 ★ for every emote
1 ★ for every badge
when filling out an order form for your next commission, you can mention that you want to use your star(s) to get a discount on the final price. if you're unsure how many stars you have, check this list! rules of the stars...  you will not get stars from the commission you are using your stars on. in order to build up stars, you will have to buy a commission without using your stars. you also do not have to use all of your stars immediately. you can save them for as long as you want! star discounts...  you can only use stars based on these increments. (ie. if you have 2 stars, you can't use both stars at the same time. you can only use 1.) the maximum number of stars you can use at one time is 15.10 ★ = 5% off
50 ★ = 10% off
150 ★ = 20% off
 note to previous buyers...  i have been keeping track of all my commissions since june 2018. if you think you bought a commission from me a long time ago, chances are that you are still in my records! it doesn't hurt to check and make sure so you can use your star(s)!
