Art Commissions Terms of Service
Last Change: 2/13/2021
To commission Mirrow Dinn, please read and respect the following. My business contact hours are Monday to Friday, 12 AM to 4 PM UTC-4 (Eastern Daylight Time). I may be contacted/messaged at other times, but I may not respond immediately.
Public notice will be posted when I am open with available commission slots. Commissions may take (but are not limited to) a few days to 2-3 weeks to complete, depending on complexity, workload, and commissioner response time. I may not work on a first come, first served basis for those reasons. I do not work during US business holidays and weekends.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at chimericalreaction[at]outlook.com
Terms of Service and Info
You must be 18+ to commission me.
Please do not request free art or replications of other artist's works or styles.
I retain the copyright of artwork unless this is discussed before payment with mutual agreement and compensation.
I reserve the right to display commissions at any time, in any manner or place unless discussed before payment.
You may request that I delay posting your piece before commission start or end, otherwise I may post it. A 30% fee to stay private is required since I will not be able to use the work in a portfolio/gallery.
If any character is/is not owned by you or within your rights to commission, that is not my responsibility to discern nor will a refund/edit/exchange be given if it is not. Commissioning me means you acknowledge and accept that you have the rights or permission to commission artwork of the requested character, and I will not be held at fault.
You may not:
• Resell my work in any form, commissioned or otherwise, or utilize it for profit unless it is explicitly and mutually agreed upon.
• Repost my work unless it is your commission, or you are given permission, and you give me credit. Do not claim it is your work.
• Edit or misrepresent my work and post it anywhere (i.e. public or private chatrooms or forums) unless I give approval.
Subjects/themes that I may draw include but are not limited to:
• Anthropomorphic/cartoon animal characters (mythical, fictional, or actual, bipedal or quadrupedal)
• Humans or Hybrids
• Low detail nudity
Subjects/themes I will not draw include but are not limited to:
• Detailed landscapes or scenery
• Realistic works
• Not Safe For Work subjects or themes such as porn/sex, genitalia, BDSM or fetish themes
• Abuse, torture, gore/violence
Cancellations or Refunds:
I reserve the right to refuse or cancel a commission at any time and I will inform the commissioner beforehand. I will work towards a resolution in this case. Unless I cancel for personal reasons, I will not pay for the cost of a refund fee and it will be deducted from the commissioner's total refund received. Commissioners that cancel may be blacklisted from commissioning me again, at my discretion. Please commission me with intent to follow through.
Refund provided (at my discretion):
• 50% of the initial payment may be refunded if the commissioner cancels or I cancel before any line art (or sketch-only) is started. This must be within 2 days (48 hours) of commission start.
• 75% may be refunded at my discretion, i.e. in emergencies.
• 100% if I am not able to work on the commission and no work has been done.
No refund (including but not limited to):
• After 2 days (48 hours) since commission start.
• Line art, or a sketch-only commission, has been started but not finished and the commissioner cancels.
• After coloring for a colored commission has been started in a 2-part payment.
• The work has been finalized. I will not refund finished work.
Work done up to the point of cancellation will be sent to the commissioner in a flat (no layers) file with a watermark. If a legal issue arises (copyright), I am not required to provide any files.
If a commissioner cannot pay for the second half of a 2-part payment plan, they will have 8 days to pay (I must be informed first!). Work will be put on hold until payment is received. If payment is not received after 8 days, I reserve the right to cancel the rest of the commission (they still receive work up to that point).
If a commissioner does not respond/pay after reserving a commission slot they will have 48 Hours (2 days) to pay or their commission slot will be re-opened. Payment is required upfront for any work to begin.
To stay on track and compensated for the commission agreed upon, I may limit the number/scale of changes. If at any time a change is desired, please inform me prior to continuing. (Ex: a pose or proportion during the sketch, adjusting a detail during the line art, or finalizing a color scheme).
Requests for further work/details beyond the initial agreement are based on price list (props or clothing, alternate color schemes, etc). A new commission may only be made after the first in finished and paid for.
If a commission is a traditional/physical piece (if offered), the commissioner is required to pay the shipping cost. They will be given the total price reflecting shipping costs. Information to calculate costs and send the piece must be collected before payment.
