Terms Of Service

By commissioning me, you agree with my terms of service.Payment and prices:
- All prices are in USD
- Card via Boosty or PayPal via Hipolink
- Upfront payment. Payment plans are allowed
- No refunds (they're not possible on Boosty/Hipolink, at the moment they are the only available platforms for me, so if you're not completely sure, please work with payment plans or don't commission)General:
- I have rights to decline your commission
- All commissions are for personal use only
- I can use WIPs of your commission as promotion, work on it on streams, etc. unless discussed otherwise
- No private commissions
- NO AI, crypto, NFT, blockchains. I will not be working with anything AI generated (audio, pics, etc.), and I do not consent for my works to be used for any kind of AI
- For references, non shaded 2D pictures are preferred. Character picture needs to be clear and understandable
- Edits are obligated by a fee, which depends on complexity of an edit. Fee starts at 5$/sec
Exception: animation errors. While it counts as editing, fixing animation errors is not obligated by any fees. WIPs might contain errors, which get fixed as I work more on it
- Don't be afraid to clearly ask for edits when I show you WIPs, because i will not be editing anything major once the work is done
- I will not adjust the almost-finished or fully finished animation if your character got a major redesign
- If you want me to use specific kind of art style, specific brushes and such, please be sure to mention it beforehand so I can tell you if I can work with the style you want
- I do not give any permission to you to commission other artists to redraw/re-animate/edit any of my works, including commissioned ones, unless it was discussed beforehand. Same rules apply for other's work, I can not animate someone's comics, fanfics, illustrations, designs and etc. if I don't have original artists permission
- One person can commission only one piece at the time
- If I don't hear back from the client within 2 months, commission will be put on hold. After 5 months, your commission will get cancelled. Ghosting for too long will get you blacklisted
- Commissioning me does not mean start of the friendship. I'll be talking in a semi-professional/friendly manner, but I'm not your friend
- Bargain, roleplay, inappropriate behavior (flirting and weird comments) and harassment are not tolerated and might get you blacklisted
- Please do not ask me for updates every day, that will not make me work faster. If you don't have patience to work with me, please commission someone elseDeadlines:
- For illustrations, turnaround is 1-4 weeks, depending on complexity
- For animations, you get updates every week or two max (two is only if animation is big, and/or i'm really busy). If work was done faster, you get updated earlier, which means multiple updates per week are possible. I'll tell you deadline depending on animation complexity
- If update can not be provided for any reason or deadlines can't be met, you'll be warnedAbout animations:
- If your character has absolutely not animation friendly parts, they will get simplified with your approval
- All animations are done by default in 24FPS, full HD 1920x1080 with basic brush, unless discussed otherwise
- If you need a transparent background for your animation, you'll be provided with a ZIP file of png sequence with transparent bg. It can not be provided as GIF or MP4, sorry!
- Despite the possibility of helping making characters animation friendly, i will not be making full reference sheets or full character redesigns. I do not do any kind of designs or redesigns and do not do reference sheetsSketch - rough sketch animation only, no colors
Flat colors - animation is fully cleaned and colored, but no shading, light and other special effects
Full render - animation is fully cleaned and colored, and also has added shading and special effects like light, glow, etc. all depends on your ideasDifference between FXs:
Special effects like fire, liquids, smoke and such can be done at any stage
Special effects in fully rendered animation is mostly cosmetic addition
[for better understanding will add some examples later]

Animation commissions process in shortPlease note that every small stage requires your reviews to avoid late fixes[1: setting up]
Discussion of your idea > payment (full, or first if you chose payment plans) > you're added to the queue[2: sketch]
Rough storyboard-like sketch > a little more clean animatic or rough key frames > fully animated rough animation
If sketch animation was ordered, work is done here.If flat colors or full render was chosen, some small details, for example like character's pattern, might be missing in rough animation on some frames or at all. These details are not forgotten and will be added at the next stage[3: lineart and colors]
Lineart > base coloring
If flat color animation was ordered, work is done here.[4: full render/compositing]
Shading > adding more special effects if needed, depending on animation idea (glowing, lights, etc.)At the end I send you all GIF/MP4 files through direct messages, Google Drive or e-mail
ATTENTION: If uploaded on Google Drive, files will be deleted after 3 months. If you have not downloaded or lost your files, feel free to ask me to reupload it for you.

GENERAL ANIMATION PRICES

USUAL ANIMATION
Prices per second

Complex backgrounds are $10-100+
Price depends on amout of backgrounds in animation, their complexity, if they're static or not, if character interacts with the background and etc.
Simple backgrounds that contain one color, gradient, or simple shapes only are free

More examples:

Since prices heavily depend on complexity, you can check it on your own here. There's a little bit more and it also depends on what exactly you want to see in animation, but this base might help you to understand better what to look for.Only fully animated characters count! Completely static characters count as a part of background.
