Commission Terms of Service (TOS)
Below is a list of the full terms of service for all commissions that I (RaikuKitty/Raiku Fu) take on. Please keep these in mind when commissioning me, as when you commission me, you agree to these terms that I have set. If there are any questions between you (the commissioner) and myself as the artist, please feel free to contact me and we can discuss this as needed. Thank you!
I CAN DRAW
I am able and most comfortable drawing the following subjects.
For subjects not listed above, please message me privately to work something out. |
I CANNOT DRAW
I am unable or uncomfortable with drawing the following subjects.
|
Payment
Payment is expected within 72 hours (3 days) of me accepting your commission and instructing you to pay. I accept PayPal through United States Dollars (USD) as currency. Do not send me money in any other form of currency, which includes CAD, EUR, etc. I will typically send you a link under https://paypal.me/raikukitty for you to pay with, though can send invoices upon request if it is more convenient for you.
When paying through PayPal, always send payment via Goods and Services and then under the dropdown menu, select "No address needed/required". This second step is crucial as PayPal will demand me to mail a tracked package to you. Paypal will hold funds from me if this is not selected.
I also accept DeviantArt points as an acceptable currency, under the conversion of $1 being equivalent to 100 points. ($1 = 100 DeviantArt points)
I may occasionally accept gift cards if they are to a large online retailer, a chain store, or a chain restaurant. This includes Amazon, Walmart, Kroger, McDonalds, etc. I also accept Google Pay and Play Store gift cards. The value of the gift card must be in USD and must be equivalent to the commission you are attempting to purchase from me. For more information on what gift cards I can accept and how, please contact me.
General Policy and Services
I reserve the right to refuse any commission for any reason. This includes reasons such as the commission being a subject I am personally uncomfortable or unable to draw, though may also consist of reasons such as my personal life becoming too busy. I am a student, so as such I may sometimes have to hold or close commissions temporarily while I focus on that.
Upon finishing your commission, I will give you the full resolution image in some form or fashion. I will typically either send a link to the full resolution image through private message or email you the image. If you would like the image sent to you in another form, don't hesitate to let me know!
Please also do not complain about commission prices or otherwise beg for price reductions. Occasionally I will offer sales under my own discretion however it should not be an expectation. Remember that artists need to pay for things to make ends meet themselves!
Refund Policy
Do not ask for a refund unless you have waited over 2 months for your commission. I will almost always be in contact with the commissioner if I take over 3 weeks on a commission, but I do not give refunds upon request unless you have waited for an extended period of time. I may occasionally offer a refund before the 2 month time frame to you as the commissioner if I have personal circumstances. You as the commissioner are not obligated to agree to this refund, and if that is the case I will work with you in making sure you will eventually get your commission piece in a timely manner as best as I can.
Image WIPs and Modifications
I will provide work in progress images/progress shots upon request for all commissions that cost above $15 USD. When work in progress shots (WIPs) are requested, I will typically show you around 2-4 WIPs, depending upon the commission. WIPs will always be in the form of a screenshot unless otherwise requested and will usually consist of some or all of the following: Initial sketch, lined version, flat colored version, shaded version(if applicable). After this, the final image will be given to you.
I am able to make minor changes for free to commissions such as coloring or drawing mistakes on my part, minor design changes, and recoloring certain things.
I will refuse to make large commission changes for free especially if I have shown you WIPs prior to that. This includes complete pose changes, complete design changes, large additions/subtractions to the drawing, etc. If you wish to change a large part of the commission for reasons that were up to personal discretion, you will be charged extra. I will also not modify the commission for free if an error was made due to unclear references provided.
Copyright and Image Permissions
I reserve copyright for all artwork commissioned from me. This means that I will reserve the right to use images commissioned by you as the commissioner on my site as commission examples, in my personal art portfolio, as well as in printed art books (which also serve as a portfolio piece). I use artwork commissioned in artbooks or portfolios to showcase what I am capable of drawing as an artist and when I am commissioned.*
You as the commissioner are free to upload the image to sites as you please with credit to me as the artist. This includes sta.sh, DeviantArt, Toyhou.se, Instagram, and anywhere else you may keep track of commissioned artwork. You are also allowed to use the image to promote yourself as an artist, to promote a group, concept, or project with credit. You may not profit off of the commissioned work of art in itself, such as redistributing merchandise of the artwork for resale.
You may not use the commissioned artwork commercially without my prior consent. You may not erase watermarks if no unwatermarked images were provided to you under my own discretion. You may not attempt to take credit for the creation of the image.
*This does not mean I am claiming your character, and I am simply showcasing my own artwork. I will not use images of your character and sell them as individual prints or merchandise other than art books, or attempt to claim copyrights on your original character. If you have issues with this, please contact me privately before commissioning me. I would advise to seek a different artist to commission if you do not agree with me as the artist using commissioned artwork as portfolio or example pieces.

Character Design Terms of Service
For all character designs created by myself under any of my usernames/social medias (raikukitti/raikukitty/raiku1412), they will be held to the following design TOS. If you are ordering a custom design from me or purchasing an adoptable directly from me, you are bound to these terms. If you have received a design of mine through trade or resale, the design is still bound to my own copyrights however I will not hold you directly accountable the first time if you happen to break my design TOS and will discuss this with you instead.
You do not own rights to the character design until you have completed your end of the transaction. This includes paying for the design or finishing your side of a trade when applicable.
You may not make duplicates of my designs for profit. This includes making a closed species off of a singular design, replicating my designs to claim as your own, design and character theft, etc.
Do not scam for/with/using my designs and do not claim designs as yours if they are not.
Changes to designs you have purchased from me are allowed if it's a non species character. You are free to make any changes you see fit to any design you purchase from me that are not a closed species.
Closed species that I have designed are held under the character design rules of that particular species and entity instead of myself as the original character designer. Please check in with species admin(s) accordingly.
Modifications to Bubbletail-Species designs are alright as long as it follows species guidelines which you can find here.
Modifications to Milkat-Species designs are alright as long as it follows species guidelines which you can find here.
Please do not resell a design for more than purchased for if it does not come with any extra art. If it comes with extra art please properly add on costs according to commission prices. (ex. if you bought a character from me for $10 and then bought a pagedoll for $5 from someone else, you're free to resell it for up to $15! If you drew the art yourself I prefer you add on the price according to your own commission prices, however it isn't mandatory.) If you received a design in a trade, you may resell, though the same rules apply. Please try to calculate prices accordingly and resell it at that price or less than that! If you received a design of mine for free and did not contribute new artwork they can only be gifted or raffled away, not traded or resold.
Please be respectful towards myself as the artist when ordering customs or purchasing. I unfortunately cannot make absolutely perfect designs that fit everyone's exact tastes, so please be patient with me as I attempt to modify designs to your liking (if applicable as a custom).
Using my character designs (not the artwork itself) for commercial purposes, i.e. making profitable comics and/or series off of, merchandise, games etc. is completely acceptable! Please inform me prior to doing this, just so I can keep track of it.
I have the right to use my own artwork of your purchased designs as examples. I will not resell or redistribute them if I do not own the character myself.
Once received, you have rights to purchase products of the character, draw them as you please, and otherwise use or develop them as you please within the scope of my TOS. You may not use the character design to target an individual or a group with the intent to hurt or discriminate.
You are allowed to repost, crop, and resize the artwork I've created of your character design but you may not:
>Trace
>Directly edit artwork and claim as your own
>Remove any sort of watermarks
>Claim art or design as your own
If you would like to directly edit the artwork of the design, please let me know prior to doing so.
