PRE-PURCHASE AGREEMENT

When discussing your commission before purchasing, I will endeavour to create a list of everything you have requested. If both parties agree to this list, then I will create an invoice with the list included. By paying for the invoice, you agree to that list and are aware that changes to that agreed list may incur extra charges and halt work (if started).You also accept that I may take a screenshot of both of us agreeing to the list of requirements to serve as proof of agreement.

REQUEST FORM

Until Artistree.io allows for GBP to be used on their site, I will use a google form to collect the commission requests of users if we do not discuss the commission via dms.If you do use the order form, I request that you contact me via dms on telegram, discord (or via group chat/server on discord) or twitter so that I am aware that you have filled the form in.In the cases where I only leave the form open for a week, I will check periodically. In the case where I leave it perpetually open, I will not check as frequently, so will require you to contact me! To be safe, always contact me if you fill in a request.

LGBTQ+ & MINORITIES

Hamster Forge is an LGBTQ+ and minority friendly company. I am an LGBTQ+ woman myself so I understand the importance of being accepted by artists. I will happily draw LGBTQ+ characters as well as people of colour and of different ethnicities, ages and backgrounds. I will also happily draw characters (both POC and non-POC) in LGBTQ+ couples/relationships.POC characters may require me to make a few extra passes at the sketch phase as I'm not as experienced in drawing them! So please be patient and I shall do my best!

FAN ART

I will happily draw fan art as a commission for you. In the cases where I do not know the series, characters or person, I may ask you for additional information and references (such as personality traits and their likes and dislikes).If the piece is of a series I like, or if I really like how the piece turns out, I reserve the right to make prints out of and sell reproductions of the fanart piece. If you would like me not to do so, please let me know and we can either negotiate or I will make sure not to do so.If your character is in the fan art piece and I wish to sell a copy of the piece, I will either ask permission for me to do so or I will remove/change your character so it is not recognisable as your character. This is negotiable and can be discussed.

'GENDER-BENDING', 'RACE-BENDING' & 'SHIPPING'

'Gender-Bending' is drawing a character as a different gender to what they are canonically depicted. I am usually ok with doing this as I have been known to draw 'gender-bent' characters myself for fun. I actually really enjoy designing alternate versions of characters costumes in these cases.Example - draw a male character as a female.'Race-Bending' is drawing a character as a different race to what they are canonically depicted. I am NOT okay with changing the race of any character in this way. The one exception to this is if I am depicting someone else COSPLAYING as that character. In this case, I am ok with it as it is not the original character who's race has been changed.'Shipping' in the art sense, is when 2 or more characters are depicted in a relationship. This may be canon or non-canon. I am usually ok with shipping as long as it follows a few rules.Underaged characters may be shipped with another minor or as character within 3 years of their age - these depictions must be SFW as I will not draw these characters in NSFW situations.Characters over the age of 18 (that follow my NSFW policy) may be shipped with other characters over the age of 18. These ships may be depicted as NSFW (See my NSFW policy for more details on what I will and will not draw) or SFW.I will not draw real people shipped with other real people, nor will I draw art of real people shipped with fictional characters.Finally, I will draw sonas and OCs in a ship with a fictional character, non-canon and canon ships as well as LGBTQ+ ships.

NSFW POLICY

If you enquire or purchase a NSFW piece off me, I may ask to see valid ID/proof of being over the age of 18 - Especially in person. If it is online, I may also require to see ID (this may be deleted after being shown). However, I understand that it is possible to show ID that doesn't belong to you online. By accepting and paying the invoice for a NSFW piece, you acknowledge and agree that you are over 18. If it should turn out that you are under the age of 18, you understand that I have the right to black list you from future commissions and to let other artists know of your behaviour so that they may also black list you.I will not and never will make NSFW (Not Safe For Work) artwork of underaged characters (including characters that look underage) and feral (non-anthropomorphic animals). This means I will not create NSFW artwork of your 5000 year old loli demon. I MAY make NSFW of aged up characters if the aged up character appears to be an adult and it is clear they are an adult. I reserve the right to refuse to draw the requested subject matter so please ask before buying and tell me ***exactly *what you are after. I can then advise you on what I will and will not draw.If you purchase a NSFW reference sheet of a human-like or anthro animal character, I will draw a feral version on that reference sheet but only as a SFW view.
~Example - A NSFW human female reference sheet has a dragon form where she is literally a dragon. This dragon form may be added to the NSFW version of the reference sheet but it will not have visible genitalia.~As a personal policy, I will never draw NSFW of feral characters or underaged characters (furry or human). All NSFW scenes must be consensual - I will not and never will draw sexual violence or sexual crimes.I will not draw sexual relations between feral characters and any other type of character (anthro, human, feral, etc.). I will also, never draw a human character having sexual relations with an anthro character - while this one is deemed 'less bad' by the art community, I personally am not comfortable with drawing it. I will draw anthro characters having sexual relations with other anthro characters and humanoids with humanoids.I am open to drawing some kinks, but not all. Most of the time this will be a case-by-case basis. Please feel free to ask and I will not shame you for your request.Examples of kinks and scenes I WILL draw - bondage, cosplay, tentacle, lactation (non-pregnancy), mild asphyxiation, latex, BDSM relationships, poly amorous scenes, monogamy scenes, foreplay and oral, SOME toys, ejaculation, squirting (non-urine based), anal, multiple penetration, X-Ray & internal views, vanilla, various positions and poses, basic & artistic nudity.

PRICING

Please note, the prices on my commissions price list are for PERSONAL USAGE commissions ONLY. If you would like to purchase a piece that you wish to use for monetisation or as part of an advertising campaign, as a business related piece, you may purchase a licence for a completed piece at an additional cost.In the case of a brand new commission, I can make a personalised quote to include the license and ownership contract. Please see monetisation and licensing for more details.My prices are based around average times it has taken me to create previous works as well as demand. Roughly I aim to make £12-£15 an hour and thus, my prices reflect this. I am a full-time, self employed artist and crafter and therefore must charge at least minimum wage for skilled work. I do not do this as a hobby - this is my job.Prices are subject to increase, decrease, or or change and I may or may not publicly inform people of the price change - dependent on how much I am changing. Large changes will likely cause me to make a public post. Small changes (such as correcting a mistake, or changing one price slightly) may not cause me to make a public post.Invoices for commissions are priced at the CURRENT listed prices. If I run a sale after you have been issued an invoice, you will not be refunded the price difference, nor will I alter the invoice to reflect the sale or reduction. This also goes for price increases. If you are issued an invoice and then I later increase the prices, you will not be charged extra, nor the invoice changed.In the case of you receiving a quote for a commission, that quote is valid for a period of 3 months unless otherwise agreed. After a period of 3 months (or the agreed time), that price is subject to change.If you purchase a commission and then later on return to buy another commission, you will not be able to buy a commission at the old prices if they have changed. You will only be able to buy commissions at the CURRENT prices. Current prices can be found __HERE__.Invoices may be corrected and prices may alter if there is a mistake (such as an additional 0 is added, or the shipping is incorrect). These alterations will be shown with screenshots and agreed upon by both parties.The only other time an invoice may be changed or you may be charged extra is for additional edits/alterations that are not covered by the basic policy or if materials suddenly increase. These will be agreed upon by both parties BEFORE any changes/extra invoices are created.Discounts will only be applied if agreed upon by BOTH parties and in special circumstances. These are on a case by case basis.

PAYMENT

Currently, I am only accepting payment for online commissions via PAYPAL. Once Artistree.io has implemented the ability to use GBP as a currency, I do intend to slowly migrate over to their platform (which currently allows PAYPAL and STRIPE).I do NOT accept payment for commissions with subscriptions or donations via Twitch, Sound Alerts, Stream Elements or similar products I may use on my stream.I DO accept payments for commissions via cash or card payments (iZettle) when in person at events and conventions. You may also pay via paypal invoice in person. If you partially pay for a commission in person and partially on paypal invoice, the invoice will show the full price on the invoice with a reduction removed at the end of the invoice (this can be seen near the shipping costs and sub totals section of the invoice) - this is for tax records. You will not be charged for the part you have already paid for twice.In the case of PAYPAL invoices, you may request a partial payment system. This allows you to pay in small chunks of as little as £20. You may make these payments as often or as infrequently as you'd like. A time frame will be given for the full payment to be received. This is to avoid cases of me increasing prices and your commission feeling like it is underpaying me.Time frames will be agreed upon by both parties and extensions to the time frame will also be agreed upon by both parties. Should a commission not be paid off fully by the end of the agreed time frame (and no agreement can be made, I reserve the right to refund you fully and remove you from my queue.If a payment is to be made via paypal, I only accept payments via the invoice system or via goods and services. Sending money for commissions and goods via 'Friends and Family' is a violation of Paypal ToS and prevents both parties from having paypal protection. It is also for tax purposes on my end, so that I can have the transaction as a business transaction.I will never charge you for paypal fees or card machine fees. In return, I therefore will not pay for your fees when should you be issued a refund.
