Terms of Service

I know it's long. I should've been a legal writer.

General

I will not draw NSFW commissions for clients under the age of 21.
I may simply refuse a commission because I am not confident in my skill level for the project.
I can also refuse a commission if I’m not comfortable with the subject matter.
Please see my "will do / won't do" list below!
I am on the autism spectrum; I may need some extra patience on my clients' end. Thank you!

Pricing + Payment Policy

My listed prices are base prices. They can go up for complex concepts, designs, or specialty orders. Clients are always welcome to ask me for a free, no-obligation quote.I prefer to have full payment upfront, but I am willing to do 50% once the idea is agreed on and the other 50% upon sketch approval, according to the client's comfort level.I use Paypal Invoicing.

Edit Policy

I will always show you the sketch before I begin finalizing the picture. You are allowed 1 major edit session for free in the sketch stage. This can be used to clear up any misunderstandings on my part, adjust any poses you don’t particularly like, etc. Once you clear the sketch, I begin on the lineart.
It is your responsibility as the client to make sure that everything is to your liking throughout the process, and my responsibility to update you on various stages of the process.
If you suddenly need to make a major change to the piece after you've approved the sketch, it will incur an Intensive Edit fee of $40 per hour of rework. No exceptions.
For these reasons, please inspect the sketches carefully and make sure that everything is to your liking. Questions are welcome if you need clarification on the sketch!

References

Take the time to gather all visual references. I am happy to wait if it means you are able to accurately convey your idea!
I work best with visual references and short, small notes, such as a bulleted list.I have two recommendations:
1) a full reference sheet with front, back, and profile full body views, as well as close-ups of any special interest areas, like tattoos or scars, and any important jewelry if applicable.
2) a faceclaim (a person, animal, or object that closely resembles your character), pictures of their body type, an outfit(s) they would wear, and pictures that resemble or inspire anything specific about the character, like jewelry, magic, prosthetics, etc.
These are not the only ways you can give me your references, but these are preferred.Please keep all references & information relevant to the illustration you're requesting!

Will do / Won't do
+ Transgender Art Policy

My will do / won't do list is located at the bottom of the TOS. Please be advised that it is 18+ and generally reserved for NSFW commissions.
Fave = I will almost ALWAYS be down for drawing these.
Yes = Also almost always, although these aren’t guaranteed.
Maybe = Often I will do these, even if they aren’t my cup of tea. I won’t turn you down solely for these subject matters.
No = I will not do these.
If you’re unsure if a subject matter falls under will do or won’t do, you can always ask me.
Transgender and GNC characters are extremely welcome & encouraged! But if you describe your character as “futa”, “herm”, etc., or utilize harmful rhetoric towards intersex individuals, your commission will simply be rejected.

Communication

Always feel free to message me about your commission and check on its status! The quickest way to reach me is through Discord!But please keep all edits and major notes in one cohesive message! I lose track of information easily, so I prefer to keep it all in one message (or same cluster of messages).

Refund Policy

By approving the sketch(es), you are agreeing to the idea that this piece is turning out how you wanted it to, and that you have the funds available.If a significant amount of time (over 1 hour) has gone into a piece that must be refunded, then I will subtract a fee from the refund relative to the time taken on the piece.Refunds are extremely rare and will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Three Strike (Or One Big Strike) Policy

If you violate or show no respect for these rules during our business together, I will cancel your commission.
Three strikes on smaller things (highly excessive edits, unnecessary rudeness, ignoring crucial information in the TOS, etc) will get your commission cancelled and, potentially, may discontinue any future business between me and you. This is a personal preference to keep my job enjoyable for me, so I can perform long-term.
If you hit the big strike, your commission will be automatically cancelled.
A big strike can be:
> being extremely disrespectful to me without reason
> being outed as a pedophile/transphobe/racist/etc
> repeatedly violating my ToS
If the strike is severe enough, I will not do any future business with you.

Will Do / Won't Do

Please see my F-list for things I will do & things that are a soft or hard no!
Deege's F-List
I am very strict on my policy against hooved creatures and foot fetish.
I will not use character sheets or references prominently featuring either, and I will deny your commission if that’s all you give me.If you’re not sure about whether or not a subject is doable for me, I am always open for questions! However, I would deeply appreciate if clients didn’t try to “work around” my hard no’s.Thank you for reading the rules! I look forward to working with you!

Commission Request Example

To help those who are unsure or need help with the commissioning process, I've prepared this example sheet! Feel free to adjust to your liking, or simply copy and fill out! This sheet includes all of the information needed to complete your commission.

  • Name: (Your preferred name for communication and posting purposes (“Commission for [name]”, etc))

  • Preferred Contact Information: (Easiest way to contact you! Discord, Telegram, email, FA Notes, etc)

  • Budget: (How much do you have allotted for this commission? This can also be subbed out for a request for price quotes.)

  • SFW or NSFW?: (Will your commission have adult content? Adult content also includes kink.)

  • References: (Anything relevant to your commission: ref sheets, faceclaims, moodboards, clothing, pose ideas, and stick figures!)

  • Commission Idea: (Your full commission idea! For sequences, please break it down in a scene-by-scene list (“Panel 1: [info], Panel 2: [info]”, etc).)

  • Preferences on artistic liberty?: (Would you prefer total, some, or no artistic liberty? Do not give total liberty if you would rather I stick very close to your ideas or if you frequently request edits!)

  • Any details that take priority in the illustration?: (Reserved for important or sentimental details in the concept. Things like special jewelry, markings, gender expression, etc, that would make the finished piece hard to enjoy without, would go here.)

  • Anything else?: (If there's anything that isn't covered by the above statements, go ahead and let me know here!)

REVIEWS

The following reviews are from clients who volunteered their time with no compensation. Honest testimonials from verified clients are welcome and will be posted here!
Reviews may be submitted once the entire commission process is completed. Please let me know if you are interested in submitting a review!
Thank you!

"The process always begins with the discussion of an idea. I find that Deege is very good at running with your idea and adding their own spin on it. You don't need a complicated idea to achieve a great result!The check-ins come in 3 parts. The sketch, the flats and then the final version. The commissioner gets to see how Deege goes through the process of building the piece which is great.I believe the end result is always worth the price that you pay. The way Deege uses vibrant colours as highlights makes even the dullest colour schemes pop, causing them to be extremely eye catching."
- Yharim

"Deege is wonderful to work with. Pitching ideas is essentially collaboration, though I find having visuals and a sense of theme/story facilitate the best discussion and expansion. (Deege can offer unique takes if desired.)
After an idea is set, delivery of sketch, flats and shading is quick, and Deege is open to any feedback or changes, positive or constructive throughout the process.
I've commissioned multiple pieces and each is priced fairly based on characters and composition, and each works out for the best, from single shots to sequences.
Deege's usage of color and highlights make for an ethereal representation of any vision from bright, to vibing, to spooky."

"Commissioning Deege is really easy and quick. The F-list is a great way to know beforehand what is ok and what isn't and helps with pre-selecting what to commission. The sketch delivery is really quick and conveys the final result really well which always turned out amazing. If you're thinking about getting a commission, do it!"
- F1fth

"Having forgotten about ordering full shading I distinctly remember getting my feeling of "Oh this is pretty awesome, great result" getting turned immediately up to 11 when I saw the final glow-up and glossy shine.
Absolutely fantastic and fully worth it at any price point! Do squeeze for the full treatment if you can.
Super clear and easy to work with throughout, would recommend and I have to come back!"
