Terms of Service

General

  • My prior artistic portfolio can be seen here: AstralMelodia - DeviantArt

  • 2 slots are open at a given time. Because of this, slots are hand-picked and are not first come first serve.

  • You must be at least 16 years old to commission me and you will be asked for verification before submitting your commission form.

  • I, as the artist, am able to refuse any commission throughout any part of the process.

  • If selected to fill a slot, you will be notified via your requested platform. Invoices will be sent out when I, the artist, am ready to begin work on your commission.

  • All monetary transactions are only done through Paypal.

  • The invoice must be paid in full at the start but understand that refunds are available.

  • You, the client, must show proof of purchase of the model they would like retextured.

  • Should I or the client cancel the commission, a refund will be given out based on the work that was not done. For example, if the commission was canceled halfway through, only half of the money would be given back. This is done to protect me from losing money on work I have already done.

  • There is no definitive ETA for these commissions. I will guess that it will be completed under 2 weeks' time after starting your commission. Because of the uncertainty, I cannot honor any deadlines.

  • During the process, work in progress (WIP) updates will be provided for review.

  • All commissions MUST be Safe For Work.

  • IF YOU ARE REQUESTING A CHARACTER OWNED BY SOMEONE ELSE, I will require evidence of the owner's approval (ex. screenshotted DMs or direct contact with me, the artist). I will not retexture characters without the owner's consent.

  • If you do not like anything, please let me know! This is your commission, and you should love everything about it!

  • The more detailed the commission, the longer it will take. There may also be times I need to stop and take a break as I only draw as a hobby. I'm human, too.

  • You may choose to give me full artistic freedom, but in so doing, you forfeit your right to ask me to change any part of the image. Giving me full artistic freedom lets me do whatever I want to my own satisfaction. You will still receive updates, but please note that you may not suggest changes nor give criticism. Full artistic freedom will stay within the confines of your selected commission type's level of detail.

COMMISSION RIGHTS AND USE

  • The client's commission is for PERSONAL USE ONLY. Any work that I, the artist, do as a commission will NEVER be made to be used commercially or for profit. Furthermore, the client will NEVER turn their commission into a NFT (non-fungible token).

  • All finished commissions will be posted by me on my socials, but you may request to remain anonymous.

  • Clients are entitled to receiving an exported unity package of their commission (so long as they own every asset).

COMMISSION TYPE DESCRIPTIONS

  • EXPERIMENTAL - This means that I, the artist, am not fully versed in this type but I am open to taking commissions as a means to help me learn. While I will try my best to avoid mistakes, there is a good chance something may occur that I cannot fix (because I'm learning). By selecting this commission type, you agree you are okay with a finished product that may include (but not limited to) the following minor issues: seam visibility, broken default expression controls, workarounds to UV mapping issues, workarounds to limited brushes/matcaps/etc. in my toolkit, and so on. If something I deem as severe occurs, it will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Full customer satisfaction is not guaranteed.

  • Base Model Retexture - This type is only designated for a model base and does not include retexturing additional assets or clothing (even if it comes standard with the base). This commission type covers minimal to medium levels of complexity. The retexture will include the base map but can also include emission and normal maps as well. Use of shaders will, at most, have some masking, but anything classifying as 'heavy use' of shaders does not conform to this commission type.

THINGS I WILL DO

  • -Base Model Retexturing (Base, Emissions, Normal)

  • -Poiyomi Shader effects

  • -Toggles

THINGS I WON'T DO

  • -Audiolink

  • -Model edits

  • -Including additional assets

  • -Retexturing default clothing assets

  • -Overly complex designs and work

  • -Puppet controllers

  • -NSFW models for minors
