Terms of Service:
Thank you for showing interest in my work! Please fill out this form if you would like a quote or commission. Please understand that I accept quotes when I am not open for commissions and may not be able to take your commission at the time you submit it. I will however, respond within a day or two, with any questions or a quote as well as the status of my commissions at the time.
-
By filling out this form and commissioning me, you are agreeing that you are a legal adult in your place of residence AND are LEAST 18 years or older.
-
Please note that I use PayPal invoices. Do NOT attempt to send payment to any of my contacts without using my invoice.
Prices are PER character and are subject to change if you have a complicated character/idea.
Telegram Sticker Set/Pack Info:
-
Each sticker will have an unobtrusive signature/watermark on it. (All the examples above have one on it. Even at full resolution they aren't that noticable.)
-
There will be an ID sticker in each set/pack that i do, even if its only 1-2 in a set.
-
The sticker will only be provided in a pack i create for you to ensure that my ID card stays with the artwork and i can update it whenever i need to. (This is the only commission type i do not provide a final high resolution file to the buyer with.)
-
Obviously, once these are on telegram, they are a free for all to anyone who sees them, as telegram stickers are public. If you wish that i put info linking back to your page for your character on the ID card i can totaly do that! Please put that in your form description.
If you have questions or wish to talk about possible commission ideas, please email me at WildElementStudios@Live.ca as that is my primary mode of communication for commissions.
Please note that I am mainly an anthro and fantasy artist. I am not practiced at drawing human faces, machinery/weapons, ferals/quadrupeds, etc. and do not offer them at this time, outside of a few exception. You may still request such things and I will look over them on a case by case basis. If the idea resonates, I may just give it a shot but please understand that I otherwise do not wish to create subpar work for you so if I feel it is not within my grasp at this time, I will state as much. I am not obligated to accept any/all commissions that come in. Please respect this.
I am comfortable drawing a variety of subjects and ratings. I will draw any animal species (real or mythical) and do my best to make it legitimately look like that creature. If your request contains a character of a generic or unspecified species I will draw something generic to suite your needs. (More info below)
Please expect 2-6 week turnaround time, depending on the commission type. If communication is slow or I am waiting on content from you to complete the image, it will take longer. I will accept due dates on a case by case basis and may decline if I do not realistically feel I can complete it in time.
Please be advised that it is the commissioners' responsibility to provide me with all of the information needed for the commission. I ask questions a lot of the time if I am unsure but please provide as much as you can right off the bat. If you have no pose in mind or you want me to wing it, PLEASE give me a short personality description so I can go off that. If you do not give me a pose and you dislike the pose that I came up with please be advised that re-doing the sketch will cost you the price of another sketch and the previous sketch will be used elsewhere in my work and not for you.
I Will Draw:
-
Anthro's (of any kind. I am always up for the challenge of drawing something different!)
-
Cubs/Underage (No 18+/inappropriate art of cubs EVER. DONT EVEN ASK. THANKS. Drawing young creatures is really fun in regular situations though and a great challenge!)
-
Mythical/Alien characters.
-
Nudity/Adult content/Fetishes (Please ask if you are unsure about what you want drawn)
-
Minor Vore or Gore/Blood.
-
My characters with others but it is on a case by case basis. Ask first.
I Will NOT Draw:
-
Cubs in 18+/inappropriate situations or with soiled diapers.
-
Scat/Watersports/Excretion.
-
Extreme Hyper/Vore/Gore.
-
I will not draw anything that I feel is hateful to others or might promote it.
-
If you are unsure where your subject matter is on my do/don’t lists, just ask! Each commission is reviewed case by case and i have the right to decline for any reason and i don't need to disclose why.
Payments and Plans:
-
Prices are in Canadian and PayPal is preferred.
-
I MAY also accept Amazon or Redbubble gift cards.
Email me to ask!
-
At conventions I will accept cash and PayPal invoices always. I MAY have Square available for card processing as well.
-
Payment is due upfront before work will begin.
Payment Plans available. (Read below)
-
Taxes may apply.
-
Sketch Upfront Plan:
You pay for the sketch upfront and then upon completion and your approval of the sketch, the rest of the funds will be required before completion.
-
Half & Half Plan:
You pay for the Sketch and Ink stages upfront. Once complete and you approve, the rest of the payment is required before completion.
-
If you wish to discuss some other kind of plan
, please email me and we will discuss.
-
PayPal E-Cheques:
Please advise beforehand if you are sending an E-Cheque. It takes up to a week to process and I will not start work before it does.
-
If you cannot pay within 48 hours
then please let me know. If I do not hear from you after 48 hours then your spot may be given up for someone else’s or I might have to bump you back to the next commission "batch” at my own discretion. So please let me know!
Commission Process:
I will accept the following changes during the commission process:
-
Skech:
Re-pose limbs, small changes like expression/hairstyle/clothing alterations/etc. (Wingits/"No pose idea given" do NOT get pose re-do's)
-
Line-art:
Small changes like expression, clothing/accessory detail alterations, etc (I will also obviously add anything I may have missed on the ref or in the emails. No garuantee i will add them in after this.)
-
Flat Colours:
Any colour/marking mess-up I will change.
-
Final:
This is done case by case but limited to very small changes.
Additionally: If I miss something about your character and it is not caught before I start flat colouring, I'll do my best to fix it. No guarantee's though. If it is a huge thing it will be really hard to change. So make sure you take a good hard look at the previous stages before approving them!
Requesting changes DO have a limit. It depends on the piece and what you ask to be changed. If you wish more changes than what is reasonably covered, I will start charging a fee for extra changes if you want them after that. Price varies on what you want.
Shipping fees will be discussed if I am to send you an original traditional piece, badge, print, etc. You will need to provide me with your Mailing Address to give you an accurate quote for shipping.
How do you find what stage your work is at?
-
I will email you WIPS and keep in contact with you
. Feel free to email me once every 1-2 weeks (or sooner if it’s due soon/I said I would have something done by a certain time, etc.)
-

Harassment Fee:
It’s fairly simple. If you ask me 2+ times a week about your art and when it's getting done, you are actually preventing me from getting my work done because now I have to take more time out answering emails/questions then actually working on art. I take time and care to make sure that my lists are up to date and readily available for all of my clients.
The fee starts at $5. I will let you know if/when you are close to getting one. I have not had to do this yet! I really don't want to start now.
NOTE: Can you have a conversation with me? Yes! I am normally more than happy to have a short conversation through email/twitter/etc. I enjoy talking to people but please remember that I have multiple jobs and may not answer right away, or I may have to stop the conversation because I will be busy on consecutive days. Please don't feel i am ignoring you if that is the case. Being a client isn't an automatic “in” to being friends, please remember this.
Refunds:
At ANY time during the commission, myself or the commissioner may ask to cancel the project.
Neither parties are obligated to give a reason for cancelation but please remember that I am open to discussing options if you are having troubles. (If your character is changing, you cannot pay for the next part of your payment, etc.) I can always discuss changes and I am happy to put your commission on hold if you need some time to gather funds for your next payment.
If work hasn't started then I will give you a full refund.
If work -has- started then I will refund you the amount for what I have not done. E.g. If I've done the sketch I will keep payment for the sketch and refund all of the rest as I do deserve to get paid for what I've done.
Artwork is non-refundable once it is complete.
Artist Rights:
-
I have the right to refuse a commission
for any reason and in no way am I obligated to give a reason for that refusal.
-
I retain all copyright to my work
(this is not work for hire) which means I have the right to post it, print it, sell it, put it in portfolios, etc. If you are wanting to hire me to design something for your product/branding/logo use, I have a form coming soon for that!
-
I have the right to cancel a commission
at any time during the process with no explanation. Read the refunds section for information on what happens in this event.
-
I am not obligated to post your picture
in my gallery or anywhere else but I have the right to post it anywhere I wish to.
-
I have the right to use rejected sketches
for personal use and possibly for commissions/YCH’s. (This is if you reject an entire sketch and I must redraw a whole new pose for you.)
Client rights:
-
You have the right to cancel a commission
at any time without explanation. (Please read the refunds section for info on the process.)
-
You have the right to ask for changes!
Read the Process section for all details!
-
You are free to post the small/watermarked version
of the commission anywhere you please as long as it is linked back to me in the description.
-
If you post the small watermarked image to a repost-it site
please make sure a link back to the original post on my gallery or my gallery in general is sourced! I would appreciate your restraint from posting it to places that do not allow uploaders to source it.
-
You will receive a high-res copy for your PERSONAL NON-COMMERCIAL use.
(A personal print, computer backgrounds, etc. In the case of Ref sheets, feel free to link the larger version to other artists if they have a hard time seeing the small version or to print out copies to give to artists at conventions. This is A-ok!)
-
You have permission to crop/edit/alter the image [ONLY] for banners, icons, signatures;
provided there is credit to me somewhere on your profile. You may not crop/edit my images to re-post outside of the above things. If you are unsure, please ask! I am also happy to make these crops for you for free with your commission! Just ask!
-
If you wish to colour sketches or line-art I have made for you, please ask
. Credit is still required and you may not edit out my signature.
-
If you wish to keep your commission private
(aka, I don't post it anywhere) feel free to ask. If it is something I think I could print and sell or would like to make it part of a portfolio, there may be a charge for it as keeping it private could affect my income.
Questions and Contacts:
I am totally open for suggestions, questions, comments, anything. I consider myself a negotiable person; so if you have any concerns about commission prices or anything, feel free to ask! I cannot guarantee that I will be able to accommodate every single person so please understand if I cannot cater to you. I will do my best to see if I can!
Feel free to email me at WildElementStudios@Live.ca
Livestream:
I do Livestream occasionally but I will not guarantee that I will work on your commission completely in stream unless it is during an event like Homecon where the whole event is streamed.
