terms of service

by purchasing my art you are agreeing to the following conditions-my turn around time tends to be under 1-2 weeks, depending on complexity and frequency of communication. im also a full time college student so that may occasionally slow down my progress.-please be upfront if you have a date you would like it to be completed by. i cant guarantee that i will finish it by the time you ask, but i will do my best and let you know if i cannot-i require payment before starting the commission, and may refund depending on level of completion if you want one. after the art is complete i will not refund-i send multiple updates in the process of creating your commission, typically one per step of completion unless changes are requested. i will not continue working on your commission until i receive a response confirming you are happy with the progress-you may not remove my signature in any way, including cropping (with the exception of making it into an icon)-you may post the art on your own account or other websites so long as you mention my name (@spartalabouche on tumblr)

an edit like the example above would be free, larger changes like additional clothes or different hairstyles would range anywhere from 5-15 USDthis is a service im offering, but i also have no problems with the commissioner editing the drawing themselves once its finished!

commission guide

as a preface, this is all stuff that i personally appreciate when being commissioned, other artists may or may not also appreciate these things!i personally find commissioning people a little intimidating, and to me it seems like people who commission me feel a little intimidated or unsure of what is or isnt helpful, so i thought i would make a ‘small’, non exhaustive guide of tips and things that i appreciate in a customer :3

pre commission information i need

-size (bust/half body/full body/reference sheet/etc)
-level of completion (sketch/lined/flat/full shade)
-references for the character (more on this below!)
-a pose idea, reference, or a quick rundown on the characters personality (if you dont have a pose in mind, knowing their personality will help me pose them in a way that fits them!)
-background elements/props, if applicable (if you dont specify a background i will assume you dont want one)

references

-i LOVE references. please please please do not feel like you have too many references, this includes photos of clothing, poses, tattoos, accessories, facial features, hair styles, anything that you feel like would be communicated easier with an image, please feel free to find one and include it as a reference
-drawn reference sheets or other art of fictional characters are preferred, but not mandatory. reference sheets make it easier for drawing pre existing fictional characters, but again, a good collection of photos will do the trick
-i will not copy another artists work 1:1, but i can take inspiration if theres a drawing that you think captures the idea/vibe youre looking for
-please be responsive with feedback, especially if im drawing a character from scratch based off of a collection of photos! i want to be sure im drawing what youre looking for! (more on this below!)

regarding feedback

-typically i try to send an update for feedback after every major step of the commission, which means i will send you a few very rough thumbnails for general posing if you don't have a solid idea, then a completed sketch, then lineart and/or flats, then the shading before sending you a link to a high quality version of the commission. please let me know if you would rather i dont wait for your approval between each step, otherwise i WILL wait for you to give me the go ahead before continuing any further!
-please please do not be afraid to ask me to change something. the sooner you tell me you want something changed, the easier it is for me to change it! i wont be offended or annoyed, YOU are paying me, so i want the commission to be what youre looking for!
-that being said, please be reasonable with changes. this just means, please dont ask me to change the entire pose around once im halfway through coloring it, any alterations to the pose or large additions like entire props or huge outfit changes ideally should be made during the lineart stage at the latest.
-past the lineart stage i am still happy to make smaller edits, like changing the expression or altering clothes in small ways, but i will not redraw entire portions of the character, thats the reason i send updates between steps. if you really want something large changed later in the commission, i can change it for an additional fee
