I. GENERAL DISCLAIMERS

If you are not comfortable with my Terms Of Service and/or are not willing to agree to the conditions, you may not request a commission.⟡ Certain terms can be changed or adjusted through a mutual agreement established prior to the commission.⟡ Prices are subject to change based on demand.⟡ I reserve the right to refuse or discontinue a commission at any time and for any reason.⟡ Disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated and your commission will be cancelled if it occurs.⟡ The terms outlined here may vary slightly depending on the type of commission or shop item.⟡ If there is no response or payment three days after being contacted by me, your slot will be forfeited.⟡ Any file you paid for will be available from me for a finite time only. I take measures to preserve most files for up to 3 months. However, I cannot guarantee against computer failure or accidental deletion or loss.⟡ Any work done or made available to you must not be used for generative AI (Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, AI/ML Training), cryptocurrency (NFT, blockchain) or any for-profit platforms or purposes. Such usage is completely prohibited and may result in legal action taken.
♦ If sufficient evidence is discovered that you are actively engaging in the use or spread of generative AI or cryptocurrency, I reserve the right to cancel any ongoing commissions with you without providing any refund to you for the cancelled works. I will retain full rights to any work cancelled by this clause. Furthermore, you will be blacklisted from commissioning me again.
⟡ You agree that any commissioned work is for personal, non-profit purposes unless otherwise stated or the appropriate licenses are purchased.

II. PAYMENT & FEES
⟡ I am not responsible for any mistakes that are made on your part over the course of the transaction.⟡ Payment is done through Vgen.⟡ Full payment (100% upfront) is required upfront unless we agree otherwise.⟡ Payment plans are available (split 50% upfront and 50% after sketch approval) upon request; however, you will only receive a sketch of your commission. Full payment is required to continue the commission after the sketch. I will not accept anything less than half of your total payment.⟡ Depending on the complexity of design or commission type + any add-ons requested, prices can increase. The prices listed are my base prices.⟡ A design fee will be charged for clients with no reference images that would like me to draw solely from a description and/or a collection of photos. The exact price of the fee will be dependent upon the complexity of the commission.⟡ Additional fees will be charged for excessive or major revisions (see the “Revisions” section).⟡ A proposal with commission scope, details, and fees be sent for you to review. After you accept the proposal and full/half payment is received, your commission will be accepted and put into a queue. You can find my queue list on my Vgen.⟡ Repeated counts of commissioning a project and failing to pay will result in blacklisting.⟡ Paying in any other way (not agreed upon, not discussed) is considered a donation.⟡ For auctions, you are NOT allowed to retract your bid. On your first problematic transaction, you'll receive a simple verbal warning.
The next time you back down from the auction you will be blacklisted and will not have the opportunity to bid on future auctions. Please only bid if you are sure you can pay your bidding.⟡ Tips/Boosts are always appreciated but not necessary!
III. CLIENT OBLIGATIONS & AGREEMENT
⟡ Clients are expected to carefully read through and understand both my TOS and Commission Information.⟡ Clients must be 18+ years old and legally able to commit to an agreement or has a legal guardian to make this agreement on their behalf to commission me.⟡ By placing an order, a Client agrees to these terms and conditions. Please read these terms carefully.⟡ Any changes to it will be discussed case to case in private messages and as such are also bonding to both sides.⟡ Clients who have commissioned and/or received work before this TOS has gone into effect are still bound to its contents.⟡ Write in a clear and concise manner when filling out the commission form.⟡ Provide multiple clear reference images of the character/subject. Mood boards are welcome!⟡ Maintain professional conduct throughout the commission process.

I may reply on weekends, but those are generally my off days.⟡ I will show WIPs via Vgen, and/or Email throughout the commission process (sketch, lines, colors, rendering stages).⟡ I will send over a sketch after payment, this is considered the first checkpoint of the commission and I will require approval of the sketch before continuing the commission. I will accept one complete revision at the sketch stage. It is encouraged that you ask for any edits at this point, as it will be easier to fix during this time.⟡ Any work started after the sketch is continued because of your approval. If you are not satisfied with the final piece and request any major editing (examples are as provided in the “Revisions” section), there will be an upcharge in price or the current piece will be considered as the finished product and will not be changed.⟡ Sketch and subsequent in-progress shots will initially be sent as low-res, watermarked images.⟡ Turnaround rate is about 1-2 months. I will always do my best to complete your commission within a timely manner, but please understand that sometimes life may get in the way and cause a delay in completing your commission. I will notify you as soon as possible of any issues that come up to keep you informed.
V. REVISIONS
⟡ Every time when I send you a WIP, you are encouraged to let me know if you would like me to make any changes to the artwork.⟡ Please note, that these changes have to be relevant to the stage of the WIP. (In other words: you can only change the pose of the character during the sketch phase. You can only request change to coloring choice during flat colors phase, etc.).⟡ There is no fee charged for changes during the sketching phase.⟡ A limited amount of minor revisions are allowed in coloring/rendering stage and are covered in the commission price.⟡ Excessive minor revisions to the point that forward progress on the work has halted will incur additional fees.⟡ Revisions due to my own negligence are free.⟡ Additional major revisions will incur additional fees.⟡ It is up to my discretion as to what constitutes minor and major revisions.⟡ You are not allowed to use rejected sketches and I am allowed to use them for future artwork, YCH, base sets.

F.A.Q
Silhou's Frequently Asked Questions
What program / brushes do you use?
I use CSP (Clip Studio Paint) on my Desktop and Huion (Kamvas GT-191) and Procreate on my IPAD. I mostly use custom downloadable brushes, my most used one being "SOIPEN" (Content ID: 1778407) by SORASORA.
How do you come up with your original characters and their outfits?
My inspiration for characters often come from video games first, since they often are set in those worlds, and then I go researching related topics, cultures, and fashion within various sites and books. Browsing concept art from various media is one of my favorite things to do when looking for inspiration!
Can I draw fanart of your original characters?
Of course! I absolutely love fanart of my characters and am grateful for every piece I have receive! I just ask that you respect the following boundaries:
You can...
Characters do have their outfits, but you are allowed to branch out and dress them up in new attire. Artistic freedom is encouraged!
Mild injuries/nudity OK
Interacting with other OCs of mine or even yours is okay, as long as they are in the same universe/setting (FFXIV Characters for example) - Excluding NSFW!
Please don't...
No detailed nudity.
No extreme gore.
No fetish art.
No Self-Shipping.
No Kinning my OCs.
No removing disabilities.
Do not alter my characters (Other then attire).
Do not take, alter, or copy any of the characters and art.
Thank you for understanding!
Where can I find your original characters and their worlds?
You can find them on Toyhouse and Unvale!
What TTRPGs do/have you play/played?
I currently have played in a handful of D&D 5e games, but have been planning to hopefully run/play some Call of Chuthlu, Kids on Brooms, Fabula Ultima, and PokeRole games in the future.
Do you plan on becoming a professional artist for videogames or other media?
It always has been a childhood dream of mine to be a professional artist for video games, I even went to school for 3D animation. It still is a dream, but on a more smaller scale. I'd much rather now be apart of a small indie games or TTRPG projects than a large AAA project!
