All drawings will include a subtle signature and / or watermark that you may not remove

I retain the right to post and use any commissioned artwork as I see fit

Prices are subject to change based on demand

I have the right to decline your commission requests if I feel uncomfortable

Please contact me for a commercial use licence

Sketch and/or final sketches/lineart that you must accept before I continue the work

The project will be delivered to the commissioner’s email address or via WeTransfer. The files will be directly attached to the email message

Full-resolution file (approx. 2000 x 2000 px at 400 DPI) of final drawing. I will supply you with both JPG and PNG files. Smaller files for web uploads must be specifically requested

I only accept EUR and can be paid through PayPal, bank transaction or Kofi

If you use PayPal, please be aware that I will have to add an additional 3% on your invoice to make up for the extra fees

Full payment is expected at the time of commission acceptance for single work projects. Payment plans and pay-as-you-go is available for multi-work projects

DON’T send me any payment before I have agreed to give you a slot and requested you to send me the payment. I will send you an invoice which will indicate the time you will need to pay

Unless stated otherwise, each commission (unless it’s a complex piece) work includes 1 free revision prior to the final copy

Each revision after that will cost you extra and will be calculated by my hourly wage

If you wish for me to change something in the drawing you have previously approved, I will charge you an extra fee to change it. The amount of the extra charge depends on the change you want me to make and is usually based on an hourly wage

During the review / revision, you will see work-in-progress and these images will usually include a watermark

IF APPLICABLE to your commission, I will be in touch with you to get approval of the sketches during these stages:

Rough draft sketches to establish an idea of pose and / or layout of background

Initial stages of coloring to make sure colors are correct and no changes are needed before I lay out final details

The time it takes to finish your commission can vary from 5 days – 3 weeks depending on factors such as the complexity of the commissioned piece, the time it takes to go back and forth with revisions, and other work

Should there be any reason I cannot finish a piece, I will offer you the work that I have done for the price it would amount to with a refund for the remainder of the cost of work not completed.

If anything comes up that will slow the progress of the initially estimated delivery time I will let you know ASAP.

Once the piece is finished you will receive the full-resolution image. Note that there is no physical product.

Promote myself with it anywhere

Publish books with it (artbooks, etc.)

Display it everywhere to my liking (website, social media, etc.)

Post it wherever I want

Use the commissioned piece for personal use unless agreed otherwise (you can upload it on all your social media profiles, forums, etc.)

Print the artwork and claim the character(s) as their own, but not the artwork itself.

Use the artwork to promote themselves. Crediting me as the artist is very appreciated as it helps me gain exposure!

Reproducing/using the copyrighted artwork commercially – means making money off it in any way. Please see the Commissions Terms of Service – Commercial Use page if you want something done commercially and own the rights to the artwork.

Claiming the artwork as your own

Removing my signature from the artwork

Altering the artwork without my consent

I reserve the full rights to the image and its use/distribution unless otherwise agreed upon (rights to the image for your own non-personal use may be purchased at any time).

Other Prohibited Activities: Commissioned artworks may not be used to advertise, encourage, or support hate or discrimination to any groups based on age, race, ethnicity, ability or disability, gender and/or sexual/romantic orientation, appearance, or religion. Commissioned artwork may not be heavily edited by anyone except for smalart unless it is a necessary function of the project, as long as smalart is aware before working on the project.

The buyer is not allowed a refund once I start working on the commission.

If for any reason I am unable to start your commission or you cancel your order before I start it, you will receive a full refund.

If you are getting a refund, do not request a PayPal charge-back. I will transfer the money back to you myself.

If you request a PayPal charge-back at any point when you were not allowed to ask for a refund you will lose all before-mentioned rights to the commissioned piece and I will have the full right to profit further from it in any way. I will decline the charge-back and supply PayPal with our conversations in which we talk about the commission as evidence that I have completed work for you. Furthermore, you will be blacklisted from commissioning me in the future.

If the buyer breaks any of the points stated above they will lose all the before-mentioned rights to the artwork commissioned by me, Sarah Angerstein (the artist), and I will have the right to profit further from the commissioned artwork in any way I see fit. If you have a problem with any of these statements, they may be changed if discussed with me prior to paying your commissioned piece.

Send me a request or inquiry for a commission through mail or social media.

After I receive your inquiry, I will reply back to you via e-mail about your request and discuss any exceptions to the Terms of Service.

If I agree to your commission, we will talk about pricing and how you will pay. I will then request for references. Once I have the reference(s), I will send you a contract that you must sign and e-mail back to me before I start your commission, as well as the invoice for payment.

Once I receive the full or half payment, I will book you into my commissions list and give you a date for the start of your commission. Please keep in mind that there may be a waiting list.
