Commissions (Digital)

Want a piece of art, but don't want to decide how it will be printed/used until later? This is the perfect product for you! There are four tiers below, and each tier will have one slot for availability at a time. A slot will only open up once I am finished with the piece in said slot. Waitlist function is in progress.

Here are the different tiers:

Single Subject (Great for Portraits):
- 1 subject (person, pet, or original character)
- Indoor Blank Background (colours but no patterns, windows, etc.)
- Up to 3 elements (props, food, furniture, text, etc.)

Expanded Scene:
- Up to 3 subjects (person, pet, or original character)
- Blank or complex backgrounds (patterns, colours, windows, clouds, etc.)
- Up to 10 elements (props, food, furniture, text, etc.)

Wide Scene:
- Up to 7 subjects (person, pet, or original character)
- Blank or complex backgrounds (patterns, colours, windows, etc.)
- Up to 25 elements (props, food, furniture, text, etc.)

Complex Scene:
- However many subjects you want
- Background: Go nuts
- Unlimited elements 

**Additional charges may apply if the client is in one tier and wants to add something not included in said tier. The client will always be informed of the amount owed, including tax, before being sent the invoice. Payments must be received before the completion of the work.**

Conditions:

**If you order a specific tier and only end up using the number of items from a tier with a smaller limit, you will not get a discount to match that tier**

**Once you receive the files, I am not responsible for printing them into physical products. The cost covers the creation of the art and the digital files only.**

**Commissions that target or demean a specific group, or that promote prejudice, racism, sexism, or homophobia, will be declined. In such cases, the client will receive a refund and will no longer be eligible for custom services.**

**All files will be flattened versions of the artwork.**

FAQs and Rules (Subject to change):

Q: Is a window not a prop? What is considered a prop?
A:  A prop is something that does not come with the background. For example, if the background is inside a home, the background elements would be what comes with a barebones house (windows, doors, moulding, sinks, kitchen and bathroom appliances, cabinets, floors, that jazz). Props would be something like couches, clocks, picture frames, computers, kettles, etc. 

Q: How long can this take? 
A: Depends. I'd say customs take at least three weeks to complete, but can easily take longer (especially for the more complex tiers). This includes the consultation(s), the sketches for approval, the process of finishing the piece, and exporting it to the desired file type. If you're looking for a gift that'll take less time to create, this is not the product for you. These files will be flattened versions of the artwork. 

Q: If it's digital, why is it so expensive?
A: The costs take into account the number of hours spent on a project (correspondence, sketching, planning, and illustrating the artwork itself). The nice thing about a digital product is that you can make it into as many printed items as you want, as long as they fall under personal use. 

Q: Am I allowed to make prints of this and give them to friends/family?
A: Absolutely. The only thing you're not allowed to do is sell the art. Feel free to make these as mugs, pillows, and postcards, as long as they fall under personal use. 

Q: Can I get a piece with a cartoon character I like on it?
A: For legal reasons, I will not be placing other people's intellectual property for these commissions. If you have original characters or if you want a character I created to be used in the piece, I can do that. 

Q: Can I get a refund?
A: Once the process has started, refunds no longer apply. To elaborate, if I send you an email to discuss the project further and you respond with your ideas for the piece, you are ineligible for a refund. 

Q: Something about this service confuses me. How do I contact?
A: You can email me at info.kookymart@gmail.com.
