꒰♡꒱ ILLUSTRATION ADDONS
Optional extras that can be added to your commission to enhance its visual complexity or customization. These include backgrounds, NSFW content, additional characters, companions, props, alternative expressions, and more. Chibi addons are offered at a lower price than listed.

꒰♡꒱ SERVICE ADDONS
Optional upgrades or policy-based fees that affect how your commission is created, handled, or delivered— rather than the art content itself. These add-ons cover things like revision policies, design flexibility, privacy preferences, production priority, and commercial use options.

Changes in Art (Free, $10, $20)
All commissions come with unlimited free changes during the sketch phase, so you can perfect your idea before we move forward! You are allowed 3 free changes during the line art phase and 2 free change during the color stage. After these are used up, revision fees apply: Line Art Phase: +$10, Color Phase: +$20. Minor changes (like small adjustments or tweaks) may not be charged. However, full recolors, color swaps, or other major edits will be charged as add-ons.Sharing to Social Media (+20%)
As the artist, I reserve the right to upload any commissioned artwork to my portfolio or social media for promotional use. Uploaded works will always be heavily watermarked to protect your privacy. If you'd prefer that your art not be posted, there is a +20% privacy fee per order.Let the Artist Decide! (+35%)
Don’t know what you want or just love surprises? With this option, you can give me up to 10 must-have elements, plus info about the character’s personality or backstory, and I’ll take creative liberty to design something that fits my vision of your idea. This option is perfect if you want a design with minimal guidance, based on your theme and my artistic intuition!Expedite/Rush Fee (+35%)
Want your commission done ASAP? This add-on ensures that your piece is prioritized above all others currently in the queue, no matter how many commissions I’m working on! You'll be placed at the very top of my list, and I’ll start on your commission right away, ahead of earlier clients. Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the piece, but it will be noticeably faster than standard wait times.Commercial Use Details Below

꒰♡꒱ COMMERCIAL USE POLICY
Commercial use of my artwork must be discussed and agreed upon before the project begins. If you'd like to obtain commercial rights after the commission is completed, please contact me directly to arrange licensing and applicable fees. Commercial commissions are prioritized over personal ones.Usage & Licensing:
Commissions fall under four usage tiers (see Usage Rights Chart for pricing and details). Each license covers only its specified category — purchasing one (e.g., Monetized) does not include others (e.g., Merchandise). If the artwork will be used across multiple categories, corresponding licenses must all be purchased.
• Personal Use: Non-commercial, private purposes only.
• Monetized Use: Revenue-generating or promotional digital use.
• Merchandise Use: Physical products intended for sale.
• Full Copyright Transfer: Grants complete ownership and all usage rights.🛈 Please Note:
• All commercial licenses are perpetual and non-exclusive unless otherwise agreed. Clients may purchase licensing upgrades at a later time, but such upgrades are non-refundable once paid.
• If commissioning a design (e.g., a character or mascot) that will later appear on merchandise, the Merchandise Commercial Use fee must be paid upfront — even if production is not immediate.
• Selecting a Personal Use license and using the work commercially constitutes a breach of contract and may result in legal action.
• The artist retains full copyright and moral rights to all commissioned works unless a Full Copyright Transfer agreement is signed.Agencies/Businesses:
• Commercial rates for individual clients follow the Usage Rights Chart multipliers.
• For agency or company commissions, fees may increase depending on project scale, exclusivity, and intended use.
Typical rates range from +300% (standard merchandise) up to +800% or more for full rights, branding, or large-scale commercial projects.
• A custom quote will be provided based on scope, distribution, and intended longevity of use.Resale or Redistribution of Artwork:
• Clients may not resell, redistribute, or trade the original artwork files or designs without explicit written permission. This includes (but is not limited to) selling as NFTs, using in AI model training or generation, or reproducing it outside the licensed scope.
• Once the appropriate commercial rights fee is paid, clients may commission other artists to create new artwork based on the licensed design (e.g., a character), but may not reproduce, trace, or modify the original artwork itself unless explicitly agreed in writing.

Credit Requirements:
Clients are encouraged to credit the artist where most appropriate and convenient, such as in project descriptions, posts, or profiles. However, in any public showcases of the artwork—such as portfolios, social media posts, or promotional materials—credit must always be visible and accessible.

Please contact me beforehand to discuss the terms and fees related to commercial use. Once an agreement is reached, I will provide written documentation of the granted rights.
• Clients must purchase a commercial use fee for the original concept design before proceeding with any production of digital or physical merchandise, whether through me or another artist. This applies to both original designs and redesigns of an existing character model.
