• Commissions can be paid either 100% upfront or split 50% upfront and 50% after sketch approval.
• I will not accept any payment before I have agreed to give you a slot and have requested payment.

3. PROCESS AND DELIVERY

• I will notify you when I have started on your commission. and you, therefore, lose the rights to a refund (see point 7 further below for more info on refunds)
• While I’m working on your commission I will make revisions with you to make sure I make it just right for you!
• The amount of revisions depends on the complexity of the work.
• During the revisions, you will see work-in-progress images, and these images will usually include a watermark and be lower resolution than the finished piece.
• The time it takes to finish your commission varies 2 weeks – 30 days depending on factors such as health, the complexity of the commissioned piece, other work and personal life.
• If anything comes up that will slow the progress of the initially estimated delivery time I will let you know asap.
• Once the commission is finished, you will receive the full-resolution image along with a web-friendly size. Note that there is no physical product, as all my works are digital art. Depending on where you live, we can arrange to print your artwork. Just ask 🙂

4. REVISIONS

• You get 3 revisions on the commissioned piece included in the price.
• A fee will be added if you want something changed on the final drawing – unless a misunderstanding from my side has been made.
• If you wish for me to change something in the drawing you have previously approved, I will charge you a fee to change it. The amount of the extra charge depends on the change you want me to make and is usually based on an hourly wage.
• If your reference is unclear to start with, changes will come at an extra charge.

• If you request a PayPal chargeback at any point, you will lose all aforementioned rights to the commissioned piece and I will retain the full rights to profit from it in any way to recoup losses. I will dispute the chargeback and supply PayPal with our conversations in which we talk about the commission as evidence that I have completed work for you. Furthermore, you will be blacklisted for commissioning me again.

If the buyer breaks any of the points stated above they will lose all the aforementioned rights to the artwork commissioned by me, Bradley DeFelice (the artist), and I will have the right to profit further from the commissioned artwork in any way I see fit. If you have a problem with any of these terms of service, please discuss with me prior to sending payment for your commission.
