About

Heyo!
I'm Koda- a University student studying animation, and I'm beginning my Master's of animation mid 2022.

My commissions are currently Open

Terms of Service for Commissions
By commissioning me, you are stating that you have read and agreed to the following:

Basic ToS:
Payment expected within 24hrs, unless stated otherwise on payment plan. Must meet expected payment deadlines.
Paypal only for USD payments
USD commissions will take priority over anything else.
Do not send the money until I give the go-ahead.
Commissioner can re-upload the image with credits given to myself in the form of a link or tag to my respective socials.
Artwork cannot be used commercially unless stated otherwise.
Artwork cannot be claimed as your own.
Refunds given based on how much work is done. Read below for clarification.
BY ORDERING ANY NSFW/18+ ART YOU ARE AGREEING THAT YOU ARE 18 OR OLDER. I MAY ASK FOR PROOF OF AGE.

In-depth ToS:
SECTION I. IMAGE COPYRIGHT
I, the artist, retain full and exclusive rights to the original artwork. The client may not claim it as their own.
All commissioned artwork is for non-commercial purpose only.
Redistribution of my artwork for use in printed merchandise or as promotion of goods, services or social media pages is prohibited unless the commission is for your business.
If you have any questions about this, ask me before commissioning me.

Conditions for Reposting:
The client has my permission to repost the artwork wherever they would like, as long as proper credit is given (a link back to one or more of my socials) and my watermark/signature remains intact and unaltered.

Prohibited Actions
Altering my artwork in any way without asking for permission before hand, with the exception of cropping/resizing the image for an icon or other use.
Using my artwork as references for your own, whether tracing or re-purposing parts of the image.
Claiming the artwork as your own.
If these terms are broken, you will be privately blacklisted from commissioning me and reported.

SECTION II. PAYMENT INFORMATION
I accept payment in USD. All USD payments will be taken via Paypal only. Do NOT send the payment via Friends and Family / Donate as it may result in your commission being cancelled, as I cannot keep track of commissions separate from friends and family if you do so.
You will be given 24 hours to pay after a quote is given. Non-payment within 24 hours will result in the commission being cancelled, or put to the bottom of the queue.
Progress up to this point, if any, will be re-purposed as a YCH if payment is not sent within 48 hours.
It is the commissioner's responsibility to tell me when the payment has been sent. Sometimes a payment will fall through and I won't know about it. If you fail to tell me that you've sent the payment within 24 hours - and I know I absolutely haven't received the payment - then the 24 hour payment term applies to you.

Refund Policy
If the commission is cancelled (by me or the client) before work has started, then the client will receive a full refund.
If the client cancels the commission during progress, the amount refunded will be on a case-by-case basis and up to the artist’s discretion. I do have a rough basis for refunds:
No refunds will be given for completed or nearly completed commissions.
The artist reserves the right to cancel a commission at anytime, for any reason, and without explanation.
If I cancel the commission due to my inability to complete it at any state, a full refund will be given.

SECTION III. CONTACT AND COMMUNICATION
Discussion of commissions can be conducted via Discord (Dekoda#5700), Buzzly, Instagram or Twitter. Please keep in mind I am in Australia and my timezone often leaves my messages being received at odd times.

Visual Reference Guidelines
Client must provide at least one clear and concise visual reference; please supplement the visual reference with any important information I may need to know to correctly draw the character.
If you link to a gallery of your character’s artwork, I cannot promise your design will be done with 100% accuracy. Design interpretations may be inconsistent between images and lessen my ability to accurately draw your character. Shading on potential pieces will also play a part in this.

SECTION IV. WILL/WON'T DRAW
Below is a general guideline for what I will or will not draw. Please keep my art style in mind when ordering; my forte is humans / humanoid beings. Things outside my comfort zone might not be as high of quality as something I am used to doing.

Allowed Content
Ferals (Not strongest area)
Humans
Anthros (Not strongest area)
Gore
Most Original Species
Semi-NSFW
NSFW (Must check with me)
Monsters
Mecha
Pokemon
Complicated Designs

Disallowed Content
Characters intended to be or appearing underage in any sexual or suggestive context.
Extreme Fetishes (Ask)
Any sort of hateful content, such as racism, transphobia, homophobia, and characters with Nazi/Soviet/etc. imagery or paraphernalia.

You must be over the age of 18 to commission adult content. I am a citizen of Australia and abide by my country's law. Breaking this rule is extremely serious and will result in blacklisting/blocking on all social media, email, and any other means of contact. By ordering anything 18+/NSFW you are agreeing that you are 18 or above the age of 18. I may ask for proof of age, to make sure.

SECTION V. WORKFLOW PROCESS
I work best when given some artistic freedom to create an image based on the characters you provide. I am happy to match a scene or pose that you have in mind, but please allow and expect some variation.

Estimated Completion
If there are any delays in completion of a commission, I will personally notify the customer if I am able to do so. Please keep in mind I am currently full-time studying so my replies will be infrequent.
Completion of most commissions are generally estimated to take roughly 1 to 3 weeks. If for any reason I cannot complete a commission within 90 days of ordering, I will issue a full refund, depending on the size of the project.

Works in Progress (WIPS)
Certain commission types may or may not include a sketch approval stage. I will send any wips to the commissioner personally.

Revisions and Edits
If the commission type includes a sketch approval stage, any major changes or revisions that must be made at this stage; this includes any significant changes to a character’s pose or body shape, or redrawing parts of the image.
After the sketch has been approved, no major edits or changes will be made. If the commissioner requests additional edits after the approved sketch, a price for the edits may be discussed.
If I, the artist, make any errors in the character design, accessories, or any other visual elements specified in the provided visual references, I will make these edits at no additional cost provided that it is not an elements added after payment has been made.
If you do not want me to post your commission online, you must tell me when you order.
Thank you for your interest in my artwork. If there are any questions, please feel free to email or dm me! Thank you for interest and support.
This TOS may be subject to change at any time without notice. Changes will not be applied retroactively.
