Terms of Service

This is a legally binding document. By commissioning me you are automatically agreeing to these terms. It is the client's responsibility to read and understand these terms. Failure to follow any rules listed here may result in blacklisting (you won't be able to commission me in the future), blocking, and other more serious legal consequences in extreme cases. (By extreme cases I mostly refer to chargebacks or other illegal behavior!)

IMPORTANT: Upon commissioning me, PLEASE have all your funds ready, know what you want, fill out the appropriate forms, and reply and send funds in a timely manner. If you have questions, you may ask, but still be sure to have everything ready and fill out the forms. 

Additionally, I do not do holds. Normally my commissions are open for long periods of time so when you have the funds, come back and place your order.

General
  • I take payments via PayPal invoice. Please provide your Paypal email and I'll send you an invoice.
  • I can draw: pretty much any animal, anthro (bipedal) or feral (quadruped) (canines, felines, birds, reptiles, uncommon species, closed species, if you're not sure just ask!)
  • I will not draw: MLP style, robots, humans, or excessively complex designs
  • Additional characters: It will be an additional normal price for each added character. If you want two characters in a drawing, it'll be double the normal price. For example, fullbody drawings are normally $80, if you want a fullbody of two characters on the same canvas, it'll be $160. If you want 3 characters in the same piece, it'll be $240, and so on.
  • Reference sheets: Reference sheets are preferred to work off of for commissions, but any existing art of your character works as reference, and I'm also willing to work off of description if your character has no references!
  • I can do some NSFW, please consult this list for a list of themes I'm comfortable drawing, and those I'm not. You must be over 18 to order a NSFW commission. I post NSFW to Furaffinity and my AD Twitter (@CarnalK9) only. Examples are posted there, please only view them if you are over 18! All other sites are exclusively SFW.​
  • I typically will provide WIPs (work-in-progress sketches) at the sketch stage, but let me know if you'd like to see additional WIPs at other stages of the piece!
  • Turnaround time depends on my current queue, and typically I can get booked up to 1-3 weeks, but turnaround can be as quick as 1-3 days with a shorter queue. My queue can always be viewed on my public Trello page here. Typically there are estimated dates listed to give you an idea of time frames, but those are subject to change at any time.
  • Shipping for physical items: For badges created digitally and custom buttons, I'll ship these without tracking and shipping will be no additional cost, unless you request tracking, which tends to be around $10-12, but it depends on the destination (I'm located in VA, United States). For traditional badges and pieces, I will send these with tracking, and the client is responsible for shipping fees. It also tends to be around $10-12 but depends on the size of the piece and destination. I can ship internationally! For small items like badges, I can send for no additional fee, but if you require tracking, it will be an additional fee, it will just depend on shipping costs based on destination. I will take your piece in to the post office to determine fees, and you will be responsible for covering the shipping fees afterward!
  • Commission prices are subject to change at any time. I'm still working out the best prices based on quality and demand.
  • You may request ANY edits at ANY stage of the art piece. I'm completely okay with redlining or pointing out anything that seems off, or a missed marking or accessory, etc.  Don't be shy to ask for edits if I missed something or something is drawn incorrectly! For example: "You missed the white tips on the ears;" "Can you draw the ears a bit bigger?;" "Can you add eyelashes?" etc. I'm very open to feedback and you should not be afraid to let me know if something isn't up to your liking! I aim to create the best piece possible for you. I will make most edits for free! Don't worry about bothering me if you're asking for a lot of edits, I will gladly edit the piece as much as necessary til it's perfect! If a lot of large edits have been made, I may charge additional fees, however.
  • Complex characters may cost extra, usually a $10-20+ fee. This fee may be increased depending on complexity.
  • I have the right to reject any commission order for any reason. This usually doesn't happen, but if it did happen it would likely be because the character is too complex for me to draw or animate, it's one of the things listed above, or my commissions are currently closed.
  • You may ask about the status of your commission, but please do not pester me about it. Refer to my To Do List to see where you are in my queue and if I'm currently working on your commission. My turnaround time is usually quick, but sometimes things can come up. However if you are not on my To Do list or you think you've been missed somehow please do let me know!
  • Do not use any of my work if it was not specifically made for you.
  • Merchandise: You may use work you've commissioned from me to create merchandise, such as stickers or pins. I retain rights to 50% of merchandising profits. You may of course create merchandise of commissioned work for personal use or to give out for free, without requiring permission. If you plan on selling merch of my work, you will be splitting the profits with me 50%! You may ONLY create and sell merchandise of work YOU have personally commissioned from me!
  • Moving up in the queue/rush fees: You may move up in the queue for a fee of $10 per spots you want to move up. (view my queue here) Please discuss any deadlines with me ahead of time, such as if a piece is for a gift, holiday, etc, and I can try and finish the piece by the deadline. If my queue is long, the rush fees above will apply!
  • If you upload commissions you received from me on any other website, please give me appropriate credit. (Here are my social medias if you want to tag me elsewhere; FA: Yellow-K9; Twitter: yell0w_k9; Instagram: yellow_k9)
  • I reserve the right to use any commissioned work for promotional purposes, as well as for posting to social media sites. If you do not want your work displayed for any reason, or your piece is a gift or otherwise needs to be private, please let me know.
  • If you're uploading to Toyhouse, you may credit my account on there, Yellow-K9.
  • You do not have permission to sell my artwork as "NFT" cryptocurrency.

​Payment
  • I take all payments upfront, before the commission is done. I will not start your commission unless you've paid. I will prioritize others who have paid even if they ordered later than you.
  • I take USD payments through PayPal. I accept payment via invoices, please provide your PayPal email so I may send one.
  • I no longer accept DA points as payment, sorry! Since they made it so that you need Core to withdraw your earnings, it's no longer worth it for me. Sorry for the inconvenience! HOWEVER, if you're willing to gift me 1 month Core, I would be willing to take on a commission with points payment!
  • You are welcome to request a refund at any time for any reason. If the piece has not been started, you may receive a full refund. If the piece has been started, you may receive a 50% refund. If the piece is fully completed, you will be unable to request a refund.
  • I WILL REMOVE YOUR COMMISSION FROM MY LIST IF UNPAID FOR 3 DAYS. More specifically, if you are not responsive for 3 days after I reply to your commission order, I will remove your commission from my list. I tend to be lenient with this and I understand if things come up, but I do not have time to wait around for people to pay. If your payday is coming up soon, typically that's fine and arrangements can be made ahead of time, just please communicate this upfront!
  • I do not do holds. Normally my commissions are open for long periods of time so when you have the funds, come back and place your order.
  • If your commission has been completed, you may not file a chargeback.
  • After I complete your commission, I mark orders as completed. You will receive an email about "shipment info;" don't freak out, there's nothing else you owe or need to do. For digital goods, nothing will be shipped. 
  • Tips are not necessary, but always welcome! You may add on a tip to your initial invoice, or you may send me a Ko-Fi!

Design TOS
By purchasing an adoptable or custom design by me, you're automatically agreeing to these terms. Here's what I allow in reference to designs:
  • For commissioning a design: Included in the custom design price, you are allowed to ask for as many adjustments to the design as necessary (within reason). If significant design changes are made from the first rendition, you will not have rights to the designs prior to the final one.
  • You may make any adjustments to any design once bought. I'm totally fine with changing the species, changing from feral to anthro and vice versa, any hue/color changes, draw NSFW of them, include them in stories, comics, even merchandise is fine!
  • Please credit me somewhere as the designer. I'm Yellow-K9 on Toyhou.se for crediting purposes!
  • You may resell, trade, or gift your design. You may resell the design for any price you'd like. You're free to return the design to me and I may put it back up for sale.

If you've read all these rules put the word "waffle" in your form!
