How I work
Clients must contact me through Instagram direct messages to initiate a commission. They must confirm that they have read and agreed to the terms and conditions.
I will provide up to three preliminary sketches with variations in pose, composition, or color. The client will select their preferred sketch for finalization. (If the client provides specific details or a clear vision for the commission, the sketch phase may be skipped.)
A payment of 50% of the estimated total price is required before I begin work. Payments are accepted via PayPal only.
Once the finished artwork is sent in low resolution, the client may request minor adjustments (e.g., color tweaks or small detail corrections) at no additional cost. Major changes to the composition or the entire artwork will incur an additional charge.
The completed artwork will be delivered via email at the highest resolution. Clients will receive both a watermarked version for online sharing and an unwatermarked version for personal use.
Terms and Conditions
Pricing and Payment
The final price is determined based on the time spent on the artwork, charged at a rate of $10 per hour.
An estimated cost will be provided upfront and will serve as the basis for the initial 50% payment, which is required before work begins.
Artwork Details
All commissions are fully colored with simple shading and lighting unless the client requests otherwise.
Minor adjustments during the preview stage are free of charge. However, significant changes (e.g., altering the composition or other major elements) may incur additional costs.
The artist reserves the right to:
Refuse any commission request without providing a reason.
Retain copyright for all preliminary sketches created during the commission process, unless otherwise agreed upon.
Prioritize commission requests at their discretion.
Decline commissions with strict or short deadlines if the client cannot be flexible with delivery times.
Stop working on or cancel a commission due to inappropriate or rude behavior, or if there is a breach of these terms.
Usage Rights
The artist retains full copyright of the commissioned artwork and reserves the right to feature the commissioned artwork in their portfolio or on social media, unless the client explicitly requests privacy for their commission.
The client may use the commissioned artwork for personal or commercial purposes, including but not limited to profile pictures, online reposts, or personal display, as long as proper credit is given to the artist (@bakh_meliorism). The commissioned artwork cannot be used for NFTs or submitted to contests or competitions.
Refund Policy
Refunds are not available for the initial payment.
Refunds are only available for the final payment if the artist is unable to complete the commission.
Process and Communication
The client may request updates or previews of the commission during the creation process.
