Rules and Conditions:
Commission limitations: If the buyer requests to have someone else’s character or work, including famous people and shows, in the commission, the buyer must properly tell the artist who the original creator is/who they are so proper attribution may be made. If failed to do so, the artist not responsible for any situation which may come to the buyer for not having the proper attribution.
Sketches: All rough sketches belong the artist and the artist only. Buyer will not have any rights to sketches until commission is finalized. Sketches are water marked and low quality.
Payment: All commissions to be paid for after the sketch is approved. If payment is revoked, the commission will be cancelled, and buyer will lose all rights to the work. If done without the artist knowing, buyer will be blacklisted and unable to purchase from the artist again.
10% of all profits to be donated monthly to National MS Society in honer of my my Mother, and all other fighters of MS. Stay strong!
Progress shots: Medium quality and watermarked progress shots will be sent to the buyer after every work session, or otherwise requested. Any changes may be made during the Progress Shots stage excluding the pose, style of art, and what is being commissioned (original request) unless otherwise discussed.
Time: Timing may vary. An estimated completion date will be given after sketch approval and updated if need be. If the buyer requests art to be completed before that time, such accommodations may be set with discussed fee.
Completed Adjustments: Once the commission is complete the adjustments are limited to: color corrections, subtle changes, or any change made from previous Progress Shot. All other changes may be discussed and will be charged a fee.
If you break the Rules and Conditions, The Artist have the right to decline your commission.
Copyrights
All commissions and their rights belong to the artist unless proper actions are taken by the buyer.
Buyers are allowed to:
Claim the characters as their own but not the art work. Proper attribution required when sharing on other sites or other promotional uses. Example of attribution: Artwork by Samatha Watson or simply a link to my website.
Purchasing commercial rights is possible.
With commercial rights it is possible to make any sort of merchandise with the artwork. The artist still allowed to claim the work for portfolio, unless otherwise discussed. Fees to be discussed during approval process.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
If buyer is not satisfied with the sketch and I cannot create a work to their liking, the transaction may be canceled. After the project is approved and payed for, the transaction cannot be undone. Progress Shots are sent to the buyer for a chance to change things before the commission is completed. I strive to give work that not only is the artist proud of, but the buyer can be proud of as well.
If a refund is requested against the artist without the artist knowing (or otherwise discussed), the buyer will lose all rights to the work the artist created (including prior works) and the buyer is not allowed to commission again unless the artist otherwise states.
Statement can be changed with the artist prior to the commission.
Disclaimer
The artist does not own anything within the requested art other that the price itself. If artwork components are stolen the artist will pull the work down and notify/flag the buyer so it does not happen again. It is the buyer’s responsibility to get approval to use other’s characters. The artist is not responsible for the theft.
