──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ GENERAL TIMELINE ⚠️

I do my best to complete work as timely as possible, however, my ADHD and life events may keep me from consistently fulfilling a reliable timeline of deliveries. I struggle with executive dysfunction and burnout, and I would much rather take longer to finish something worth its price than deliver an inadequate standard.

I also juggle a number of other things in order to financially support myself which contributes to possible delays. Thus, I deeply appreciate those who endeavor to work with me regardless of it and am ever so grateful for any and all support.

This is not anyone else's burden, however, and certainly doesn't make it anyone's business- All I ask is for patience. I want to deliver the best I can for you! And you're always welcome to check my Trello board for general updates in between direct check-ins!

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ TRELLO BOARD 🕒

My Trello board serves to make up for what I may lack in communication- to easily give out a scope of progress

and to ensure that while time may pass, commissions are not forgotten! This way, commissioners don't have to be stuck wondering about delays that happen due to sudden bouts of illness, which can happen at any time without warning.

✦ You can also view the info, status, and progress of your commission via your card.

✦ There's no order on the queue work schedule, since I struggle with ADHD, I will jump between orders so that I

don't get serious burnout.

✦ Some things may take a bit of time to update since I do it manually, such as invoice status and such.

✦ If your commission is on this board, however long it may be, I assure you that it is not forgotten!

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ DEADLINES + RUSH FEES ⏰

✦ By default, there is no set deadline unless the client provides a reasonable and meaningful deadline

(e.g. a birthday gift, holiday piece, etc).

✦ Other reasons may or may not be accepted and may be subject to a rush fee depending on the timescale,

especially if you must be bumped up the queue in front of others.

✦ Rush fees are at least +25% of the commission, but may also depend on the project and timeframe provided.

✦ Typically, deadlines that are after 6 months of starting won't incur any fee.

✦ I may or may not be able to accept certain requests with a deadline, as I prioritize my health above everything else.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ ADDITIONAL CHARACTERS 👥

✦ Additional characters are added as if commissioning another character and may be subject to their own

prop/complexity/etc. costs.

✦ Things such as backgrounds and props wouldn't need to be doubled. These are considered their own things

apart from the character(s).

✧ For example, if you are paying for a character with a complex prop and would like to add another character without one,

you would simply add the base cost of another character without factoring in the prop.

✧ If you're looking to commission multiple characters and are confused, feel free to inquire!

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ PRICES AND PAYMENT 💲

Please ensure that you have the funds to pay if you are requesting a commission. Reserved spots can be taken ahead of time for commissions over $200, with a half upfront deposit.

✦ Payment is in USD and invoices will be sent when a price is confirmed and an email is provided.

✦ Clients are required to pay in full for commissions of $50 and under;

✦ For commissions above $50, half upfront deposit is required and the other half will be invoiced after the project is finished.

✦ For bigger projects exceeding $500, payment plans may be used if the client would prefer.

✦ The first invoice will only be sent after I start on your order in the queue, in case either of us needs to cancel or delay it.

✦ Additional payments may be requested later down the line, such as in the case of partially paid deposits,

requested additions, or fees due to excessive edit requests or other extra work.

✧ I price my work based on demand, livable wage, and the amount of time and effort it takes to finish in accordance with my skill,

experience, and quality. Haggling or insisting on discounts is unacceptable and will result in blacklisting.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ REFERENCES

✦ Prices are for characters with ready reference material.

✦ If you would like specific poses or moods, you may also share relevant images you have or create yourself

(no matter how scribbly or messy it is, I absolutely don't judge- even stick people work well for this)!

✦ Mood boards, inspiration boards, and written descriptions are also acceptable if comprehensive enough in the absence of standard references, but may be subject to a fee depending on the material provided, as I would still need to piece together the material to visualize the design myself. These are also more than welcome as a supplement to standard references! I enjoy seeing the building blocks behind OCs.

✦ If changes and additions are desired later down the line due to insufficient description, it may also be subject to a fee. If you would like a character to be designed, or a part of a design, there will be an additional cost depending on how much work it requires (unless otherwise noted, which includes custom design work).

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ ARTISTIC FREEDOM 🖌

✦ Note that I will retain some level of artistic freedom: as an artist and client, a commission creates a partnership and not an employee.

✦ Artists are sought for their style and vision, and I am not to carry out something that is far too removed from my aesthetics just because I am an artist. I am not to be used to executing arbitrarily difficult ideas or demands and have the right to decline a commission for any reason if I feel uncomfortable or inadequate at my current level of skill. I will not imitate or recreate other artists' art styles.

✧ While I will certainly do my best if what you want is beyond my capability to execute or far too different from what I usually do, you may be better off seeking someone who better fits your vision.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ NSFW ORDERS 🔥

✦ NSFW Orders are accepted, however, you must prove that you are 18+ of age with an ID or any other document that proves so. (only the date of birth picture is required)

✦ Orders including any hint or explicit show of pedophilia/r*pe/zoophilia or any other kind of harmful and/or problematic sexual acts will be denied and the requester will be blacklisted or even reported in extreme cases.

✦ NSFW Orders will be posted on my 18+ accounts only. If the client wishes to interact or tag, please make sure it's

the correct username for the sake of the safety and comfort of my followers.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ COPYRIGHT ©️

✦ I fully own the works I create and reserve the right to sign/watermark my work, as well as to publish,

post, and display in my portfolio.

✦ Clients will receive both watermarked and unwatermarked full-resolution files.

✦ Intellectual properties I do not own (such as characters, concepts, designs, etc. that I did not make)

belong to their respective owners.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ PRIVACY 🔒

✦ Works in Progress (WIPs) are shared with Ko-fi members and occasionally in public in the form of previews and snippets.

✦ WIPs that you receive may be shared among others in private spaces, but please ask for permission if you would like to share them publicly.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ SUPPORTER CONTENT 🔮

✦ Your commission may be used for content for supporters, where I may share WIPs, progress GIFs, or PSDs.

✦ In this case, regardless of whether or not you are a patron, you will receive any byproduct made of your commission.

✦ You may also opt out of this on the commission request form.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ GENERAL USAGE

✦ If the client has not paid for the rights for commercial use, the commission is considered to be for personal use.

✦ Under personal use, the client may create and print for themselves or others to have or give as a gift,

but absolutely no profit is to be made through any part of the commission work.

(Basically, printing on products for yourself or others is fine, as long as you are not selling for profit!)

The commission is free for the client to non-commercially use however they like, given that:

✧ Explicit credit to the artist (MOONTIKORE) remains,

✧ The work is not claimed as the client’s own work,

✧ Absolutely no profit is to be made from the work in any way, unless discussed with me and commercial rights is paid for.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ COMMERCIAL USAGE 🛒

✦ Commissions can cost x2-x3 of the original price, depending on the scope of its commercial use.

✦ Some commission types include inherent commercial fees, such as those in the Talksprite and Live2D categories.

Commercial use may be defined as follows, but are not comprehensive and may be added to at any point in time.

✧ Reproducing and selling the artwork.

✧ Merchandising.

✧ Usage in promotional material, content, and websites.

✧ Usage within mediums/platforms where the client receives profit (eg. Patreon, Twitch, YouTube, etc.)

✧ If you are caught using my work commercially without this permission, you will be issued a warning.

If this warning is not heeded, you will be blacklisted and publicly addressed as a warning to other artists.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS / CRYPTOCURRENCY / AI ⛔

Clients are not permitted, under any circumstances, to use any part of their commission for

AI image generation and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Use of my artwork for any advertising or profits associated with AI-generated images, non-fungible tokens, and cryptocurrency is strictly prohibited.

I also do not accept cryptocurrency as payment.

Note that I will never sell/resell any of my work whatsoever as non-fungible tokens.

If my work is found listed as a non-fungible token or resold for cryptocurrency, it is not permitted and is stolen or a direct violation of my work and will be legally dealt with.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ CANCELATION 🚫

✦ I have the right to cancel a commission at any time for any reason. In the said case, the client will be refunded accordingly.

✦ Clients are allowed cancellation at any point, but won't be refunded the deposit payment in case I already started on

your order. But won't be demanded the final payment.

✦ The unfinished commission along with other relevant material produced will be given to the commissioner

upon cancellation.

✦ If the commission was not completed and canceled, I reserve the right to redo the drawing as the basis for the YCH-commission.

✦ Abusive behavior towards me will result in cancellation of the commission, potentially without refund in the most

extreme cases.

✦ In case of a refund, it may take time depending on whether I have the current funds or not since I need to often pay important bills. This will be clearly communicated.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ REFUNDS 💸

Refunds will only be applied in case I have to cancel your order due to personal matters or health issues. Clients can be refunded in case the first deposit has been made but the order is only as a rough sketch still. However, the ammount of said refund will be applied accordingly on how far the sketch has been cleaned.

✧ First review — 90% Refund*

✧ Second review — 50% Refund*
✧ Start of rendering — NO Refund*

* Remember. If payment has not been made yet, then nothing is owed from either parties.

✦ If you still owe future invoices due to partial payment and would like to pause your commission's progress due to situations such as financial hardship, please let me know! I will be more than happy to put the project on hold to continue on later if you would still like it to be finished. I wholly understand and would implore you to take care of yourself first and foremost.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ CHARGEBACKS ⚖️

✦ Chargebacks will result in a permanent ban from future commissions.

✦ This is considered a method of abuse and exploitation, most commonly used as such, and will not be tolerated.

✧ If you would like to request a cancellation or refund, please contact me!

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ WHEN DO YOU OPEN COMMISSIONS ❓

✦ You can view the status on this page.

✦ You can also check my Ko-fi and social media or sign up for live pings via reaction roles on Discord to be immediately updated on openings or changes. You can check it out here.

✦ Every month I open for quick rendered bust orders that you can find on my Ko-fi, and sometimes a few larger orders will be available and announced the same way explained above.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ HOW DO I COMMISSION YOU ❓

✦ When slots open, I share a link to a form to fill out.
✦ Due to high demand, I have early access slots for patrons and Discord server boosters.

This works by allowing monthly supporters to claim slots days before they are planned to go public via exclusive

Discord channels and my Patreon.
✦ If slots are filled during this period, they do not go public.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ DO YOU DO FIRST-COME FIRST-SERVE ❓

✦ Bigger commissions are not first-come-first-serve. Only the monthly offers in my Ko-fi.

✦ This is so that people can take their time gathering references, thinking of how to word their requests, and reading the ToS.

✧ This applies to priority slots as well as general slots.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

☾ HOW MANY SLOTS DO YOU USUALLY ACCEPT ❓

✦ It varies! Since my goal is to pay the month's expenses, it all depends on the types of requests received.

✦ I accept what I need in order to cover the cost of bills, or what I need to achieve any upgrades to improve my workflow.

✧ But, on average, I take 10 small commissions a month and about 3 large orders a year.
