TOS
- commissions function as a queue. after discussing, you will be added to the queue and contacted when the current working set is near completion.
- payments are made through paypal. you will be informed when payment is due and you will be either sent an invoice or a paypal.me link.
- refunds are invalid after sketching stage is complete. if refunded, you'll recieve the amount for uncompleted work (up to 50%) [invalid discounted rate is applied before payment]
- If too many revisions are requested, I retain the right to raise the price. revision charges will be sent as an additional invoice or requested via paypal.me link.
- be respectful. if you are disrespectful to me, you will no longer be eligible for refund and your commission will be void. (use common sense with this one.)
- I am often very busy IRL and have several chronic health issues. please be patient. If a delay/hiatus due to health reasons or otherwise comes up, I will inform you as soon as it arises and will maintain contact with you until the piece is finished. you may request WIP progress shots if you feel necessary.
- If your commission takes more than the projected amount of time, you may request a compensation sketch for your patience.
- I retain all rights to my work.
- if something happens between you and me to cause a bad enough disagreement, I retain the right to alter and sell any original piece you have commissioned of me as a YCH or alter it into a personal piece. your character will no longer be in the piece.
- you MAY NEVER use my art as NFTs or to train AI, nor are you allowed to put my art into an AI to alter it in any way.
- you may not resell or redistribute ANY of my art without a discussed, written and signed agreement.
- you have the right to request confidentiality (your commission will not be uploaded)
- If you post the art you have commissioned from me, give explicit credit by mentioning my artist name and sharing my linktree or social media. https://linktr.ee/melancholyblight or -new linktree link-
- If your commission features a canon character from a book or anime, I reserve the right to create prints for later sale.
- My prints are non refundable. if it becomes damaged, I may offer a replacement if I have a copy available.
- Traditional works that have been shipped to you are non-refundable. if it becomes damaged, there is nothing I can do.
- always refer back to this page before commissioning me as my tos and rules for pricing may fluctuate as time progresses.
by commissioning me, you agree to the above terms of service.

pricing
Quote Based System
the following prices are the baseline and are used to calculate the price of the final piece.
additional prices are below the baseline prices. please keep in mind that complexity factors will increase the price
I have a calculator that helps me determine the pricing, courtesy of my beloved.
please note that I do not offer uncolored sketch or lineart commissions. this is because of ai scammers taking sketches or lineart and "completing them" using plagarism programs. as per my TOS I do not and will not allow any alterations to my work via "generative" ai. if I find that you do this, you will be put on a blacklist and plastered on the wall of shame.

CONTENT DISCLAIMER
due to recent events, I have realized that there are actually a few ships and tropes that make me uncomfortable. while I will still draw them, I may charge a little more for it depending on how uncomfortable I am drawing it.
same goes for kinks. I may not be comfortable with every kink in the book, but I am willing to draw it for a fee.
just discuss it with me and I will give you a quote.

Questions?
If you have any questions at all about how this works or if you have something specific you want, don't be afraid to ask. I will do my best to clear up any confusion you may have. communication is highly important.
when commissioning me, please provide references. if you do not have a reference, I am willing to work with moodboards. if you have a specific layout you have in mind, if you are struggling to give a written description, don't be afraid to photobash to help give me an idea of what you want. just be respectful of the original pieces and provide credit where you can.
(photobashing is when you take pre-existing photos and crop parts to move them around in a scene to roughly lay out an idea. it is not to be used as the final product.)
I also accept picrews as temporary references, but as most of these are bust only, I may request details for their outfit and bodytype.
if you do not have a fully complete reference of your character, moodboards and reference images with details marked out are also acceptable.
I may charge a little extra if I have to go back and forth a lot to fix things. as listed in my TOS, if too many revisions are requested, I retain the right to raise the price.
