​

​

1. GENERAL TERMS

• My commissions may not be first in first served.

• Licensing my work - If you wish to make money from your commission, (eg, make stickers/put on shirts/use for advertising) please let me know when quoting as a licensing fee (depending on use) will be added.  If you wish to use a current original artwork on your products please email me - visualkraftdesign@gmail.com - to discuss.

​​

 

 

​
2. PAYMENT

 

• Currency accepted is either USD or AUD or NZD and can be paid through Stripe, Ko-fi or New Zealand or Australian bank transfer if needed.

• Don't send me any payment before I have agreed to give you a slot and requested you to send me the payment.

• Payment plans are to be discussed before invoicing.

• If you wish a commission to be rushed or completed by a certain date, a rush fee of 50% may be added depending on the circumstances.

​

​

​

​

3. NSFW

​

• NSFW commissions are only available from me through this page

• You must be 18+ to commission NSFW material, please don't be offended if I ask for some ID.

• I will attempt to do most things, but NSFW is not my main focus.

• All NSFW will incur a slight fee as I will have to do more work to find a pose that I am confident with.  I will refuse anything I am not comfortable with.

• If the commission piece has characters in it that are the IP of another person, I may contact them to get permission to complete the Illustration if this isn't provided to me in our initial conversation. 

​

​

I will not draw 

​

• Anything suggesting homophobic, pedophilic, zoophilic, transphobic, racist or generally disrespectful.

• Babyfur characters in NSFW situations or pin ups

• Underage characters in NSFW situations or pin ups

• Necrophilia

• Scat/Watersports/Vomit

• Vore

• Abuse

• Bukkake

• Character inflation

​

If you are unsure where your commission may fit in all this, it is best to send me a email.  I will be happy to let you know if it's something that I can do.

 

 

 

​
4. 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 reviews with you to make sure I make it just right for you!

• The amount of reviews depends on the complexity of the work.

• During the reviews, you will see work-in-progress and these images will usually include a watermark and be smaller than the finished piece.

• The time it takes to finish your commission varies 1 week - 3 months depending on factors such as health, the complexity of the commissioned piece, other work and con seasons.

• If anything comes up that will slow the progress of the initially estimated delivery time I will let you know asap.

• Once the piece is finished you will receive the full-resolution image along with a web-friendly size. Note that there is not always a physical product. This will be disclosed under the commission type. ( Depending on where you live, we can arrange to print your artwork. Just ask :)

​

5. REVISIONS

 

• You get 2 rounds of changes on the commissioned piece included in the price unless otherwise stated.

• 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 rate.

• If your reference is unclear to start with changes will come at an extra charge.

• If the requested change will incur a extra cost, ie, if the commissioner wants the next tier of commission level, I will let you know that there will be a added charge.

• Quick sketch's or speedpaints commissions may not receive WIP pics as these will be done rather fast.

• During the sketch phase is when most of the revisions will take place, please let me know asap if you notice that I am missing any markings or other features. Changes to pose or big anatomy changes after finished will result in a fee.

• Red lining - it is rude to have another artist complete a red lining of the completed commission without my expressed consent (this will only be granted in special circumstances).  You are commissioning me to illustrate in my own style, which may be very different from someone else's as a design choice.

​

6. COPYRIGHT / USAGE POLICY

I, Stephanie Haas / visual Kraft Design (the artist), claim the rights to the produced drawing, not the buyer. Therefore I am allowed to use the copyrighted artwork to:

 

• Promote myself with it everywhere

• Publish books with it (artbooks, etc.)

• Display it everywhere to my liking (website, social media, etc.)

• Post it wherever I want

• If the commission piece has characters in it that are the IP of another person, I may contact them to get permission to complete the Illustration.  This is mostly be in the case of NSFW or suggestive/pinup poses.

• Anonymous/Private commissions - I am happy to be asked to keep a commission anonymous and private if it is a gift or if it is a NSFW piece you are uncomfortable having shared.  If it only needs to be kept private for a short amount of time (as for a birthday gift) please let me know when this will be so I can post the work as well.  If you want this piece to be 100% private, there will be a fee added to this as I will not be able to use it for self promotion. 

The buyer is allowed to:

 

• Use the commissioned piece for personal use unless agreed otherwise (you can upload it on all your social media profiles, forums, etc.)

• Print the artwork and claim the character(s) as their own, but not the artwork itself.

• Use the artwork to promote themselves. You are not forced to give me credit when you post it but it is very appreciated.

• Use the artwork on their Youtube channel and in monetized videos as long as the artwork itself is not the main subject for the earnings.

The following is considered copyright infringement:

 

• Reproducing/using the copyrighted artwork commercially - means making money off it in any way.

• Claiming the artwork as your own

• Removing my signature from the artwork

• Altering the artwork without my consent

 

• I reserve the full rights to the image and it's use/distribution unless otherwise agreed upon (rights to the image for your own non-personal use may be purchased at any time).

​

7. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

 

• I will do everything I can to make my customers happy!

• If you have a problem with anything in regards to the commissioned piece please tell me right away so we can find a solution together.

• I am willing to change some of my terms for you if you ask before I start on your commission. If you, e.g., do not want me to post your art anywhere, we can discuss this.

​

8. REFUND / CANCELLATION POLICY

 

• The buyer is not allowed a refund once I start working on the commission.

• If for any reason I am unable to start your commission you will receive a full refund.

• If you cancel your order before I started it, you can get a full refund.

• If you are getting a refund, do not request a Stripe chargeback. I will transfer the money back to you myself.

• If you request a Stripe chargeback at any point when you were not allowed to ask for a refund you will lose all beforementioned rights to the commissioned piece and I will have the full right to profit further from it in any way. I will decline the chargeback and supply Stripe 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 commission hasn't progressed past a sketch I will only refund 50%.

​

If the buyer breaks any of the points stated above they will lose all the beforementioned rights to the artwork commissioned by me, Stephanie Haas / visual Kraft Design /  XDarkKrafterX (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 statements, they may be changed if discussed with me via email prior to paying your commissioned piece.

​

​

• Drafts/mockups that you must decide which one I should continue with (depending on the complexity of the commission there might be fewer or more drafts)

• Sketch and/or final sketches that you must accept before I continue the work

• Insight and involvement in color plan (depending on the complexity of the commissioned piece)

• Full-resolution file (approx. 210 x 297 mm at 300 DPI) of final drawing and a smaller version for internet upload. Final file formats are usually PNG.
