Terms of Service for GreasyHyena’s Commissions
General Information
-As an artist, I reserve the right to refuse a commission based on the limit of subject matter, depiction of themes, attitude of commissioner or personal reasons.
-I will maintain style which is consistent with most pieces in my gallery – I will not change or ‘copy’ another style either by request of the commissioner or to accommodate any particular character or design.
-I retain the rights to artistic expression and the limits of my personal style and will depict character(s) and design(s) how I best feel they will be expressed via pose, light source, lighting effects, etc - the commissioner may request any pose, light source, or lighting effects for their piece, which will be executed to the best of the artist's abilities
Restrictions
-What I will and will not draw is up to me, and there may be additional costs for certain kinds of fetishes. Ask me in a note if you're wanting to know what you can get away with and how much it will cost.
Communication Information
-I live in the Pacific Time Zone in the USA – my responses to notes/comments/etc will be done in accordance to this
-Communication concerning individual commission prices and content will be done via the private messaging system on the respective website the artist was contacted on
-I will do my best to respond to any and all messages, questions, and commission inquiries in a timely manner
-I reserve the right to ask any questions concerning the nature of the commission or the character(s) and scene(s) being depicted and may request further information or reference material of the commissioner
Edits
-If asked, I will provide a single sketch for approval to continue the piece
-It is the responsibility of the commissioner to notify the artist of ALL desired edits AT ONCE after seeing the sketch
-It is the responsibility of the commissioner to provide any and all image reference material that they feel best represents their character or design – this material includes but is not limited to: their personal artwork, artwork done by others, artwork done by many others, an image compilation showing various elements of the design, clear written material, pre-made colour palettes, fursuit/costume images, photos, etc
-Written reference material must be clear and concise, in bullet-point format, and include all information, including colour information

-Failure by the commissioner to not make any edits during the sketch phase or to give any necessary information concerning details of the piece to the artist will be counted as a miscommunication and failure on the commissioners’ part and will not be held against the artist - the artist will not go 'hunting' for reference material
