Pricing and Payment
Pricing is negotiated per request, as many factors can influence the final price. The factors include, but are not limited to, amount of detail, number of focus characters in the piece, duration of the animation, royalties and permissions etc.
Payment is done in USD through PayPal.
For requests above $50 I require an upfront payment of half the price before starting my work. If you cancel the commission at any point thereafter, no refund of the upfront payment will be issued.
A partial refund will be issued if I am unable to continue working on your request.
Usage and rights
I own the rights to all images I create. This includes, but is not limited to, reproduction, printing, commercial use, promotion of my art and abilities on this website or a portfolio etc.
In the case of an adoptable, the rights to a character are transferred to the buyer, but not the rights to the art itself.
I own the rights to preliminary works. Concepts and unfinished works I create may be reproduced for my own purposes.
Client content [intellectual property, trademarks etc.] will remain the sole property of the client or its respective owner.
Commissions I produce are for personal use only, unless otherwise requested and agreed upon. The client cannot redistribute and sell my work without a previous agreement and proper contract with me.
The commissions may and will be used as a part of my personal portfolio.
In case the client wants to post my work to social media or website, they are obligated to post credit along with the work. The credits must include my social media handle @dragonacelnik and (at least) one of my social media links.
The end result of the commission may be posted to my social media accounts, and in this case will be watermarked with my signature @dragonacelnik. Sometimes, the commission may include the client’s username along with my watermark/signature.
The client will receive a signed copy of my work via email. My signature will be discrete and not over the character(s).
You may: Use my work on items you will personally use (T-shirts, mugs etc.) if we have agreed upon this. You can freely use my work as profile pictures and cover images on social media and the internet, as long as you properly credit me.
You may not: Sell my work on its own or use my work as part of a commercial product or service.
