You (the client) are expected to read through these Terms of Service (TOS) before requesting a commission.

If the Terms of Service are updated while your commission is currently in progress, your commission and dealings with me (the artist) are subject to the version of the TOS that was in use when your commission was started.

This version of the TOS was updated on: 03 June 2026

I reserve the right to reject any commission inquiry for any reason.

Commissions are NOT first come first served.

You may post work you have commissioned from me on your social media with credit (credit to @siscomknight on Twitter (X), Tumblr, toyhou.se, or my VGen profile).

I may post work created for commissioners on my social media and portfolio unless an agreement has been reached in regards to disclosure. An NDA fee may apply.

My art may never be used in any blockchain related technologies, including NFTs and any form of cryptocurrency.

My art may never be used for training artificial intelligence programs.

I will not work off of references that are AI-generated or created by an artist that heavily utilizes AI.

If the only references you provide are from a doll-maker (picrew, dress-up games, etc) and you want deviations from the reference provided, a partial or full design fee will be added depending on how close the reference is to the desired appearance of your character.

Payments are made through VGen, PayPal, or Ko-Fi.

Commissions with prices over 100 USD may be split into installment payments, which will be negotiated with the client. The initial payment will be at least 50% of the total price.

When the commission request is accepted, the payment must be sent within 72 hours or the commission request will be rejected and removed from my queue, unless discussed beforehand.

Refunds will only be allowed before you have received an initial sketch.

A partial refund will be available after a sketch has been sent. The amount refunded will be dependent on how much work has been done on the commission.

Partial refunds are not available for colored sketches or chibis.

Communication will be done via VGen, Discord, email. Discord is preferred.

Updates will be sent at these stages: (1) sketch for approval, (2) finalized lineart (if applicable), (3) flat colors, (4) fully shaded piece (if applicable), and (5) finalized piece with background and/or graphics (if applicable).

The stages described above may be subject to change, depending on the nature of the request.

Updates will also be sent after revisions have been requested and made at any stage of this process.

Updates will not be made outside of these milestones unless requested.

Major revisions are allowed without any additional charges before the sketch has been finalized.

After the sketch has been finalized, major revisions will incur a fee starting at 5 USD and increasing based on the magnitude of the revision. This fee will never exceed the initial price of the commission.

Minor revisions are allowed without charge throughout the commission process.

No revision requests are allowed for skeb / surprise style commissions.

The only revisions allowed for skeb / surprise style commissions are revisions to fix errors on my (the artist's) part, which includes but is not limited to: missing or incorrect details, incorrect colors.

It is your responsibility as the commissioner to note all important design details in your initial request. If a detail or color is not clearly visible in the reference(s) you initially provided or is not explicitly written out in your initial request, no revision will be allowed.

Commissions will be completed and delivered at most within three (3) months of request, unless I have communicated with you beforehand.

If the commission is not completed within this timeframe, you may request a full refund if there has been no sketch provided, or a partial refund if a sketch has been finalized.

For skeb / surprise style commissions, if the commission is not completed within this timeframe, you may request a full refund if the commission status has not been marked as WIP (work in progress) or a partial refund if the commission status has been marked as WIP.

Your finished commission file will be sent to you via email, Discord, or VGen.

Commissions with a hard deadline within two weeks of the initial request will incur a rush fee.

The amount for the rush fee is subject to change based on (1) the type of commission (2) how close the deadline is.

Some commission requests with hard deadlines may be rejected if I feel I cannot complete the commission type to my standard of quality within the given period of time.

I retain the rights as the artist and creator of any commissions I create.

My signature may not be removed or edited from any commission.
