wer/he ⯌ uk

hi, I'm digi. you probably haven't heard of me.werewolf dude studying animation, attempted cool guy of the year. i'm neurodivergent, so bear with me when i'm a little funky.i draw whatever i want really, but you can expect a lot of my special interests and characters.enjoy your stay in the teratozone. B]

interests

I spend most of my time interacting with my special interest, splatoon. i have another special interest in worldbuilding and character development. my free autism bonus interest is aviation!other than splatoon, i play pokemon, minecraft, starbound, and fantasy life.animanga-wise, i dig Jojo, fullmetal alchemist, ousama ranking, MAGI, mär, neon genesis evangelion, dragon ball, naruto, summer wars, and promare.(i'm also a dinosaur guy... so anything related to paleontology, archaeology, marine biology, and natural history is my zone.)

F.A.Q

what do you use to draw?

Aseprite for pixels, Photoshop CC from university for photographs, Tahoma2D/Toon Boom Harmony to animate, Clip Studio Paint EX and Procreate for everything else.My current graphics tablet is a Huion Inspiroy H610X.

how long do your pieces take?

Anything from a few hours to multiple months. My motivation to draw is pretty unpredictable and I have a nasty habit of leaving WIPs unfinished for a while..

when did you start drawing?

I started drawing seriously 12 years ago as of July 2023.

Are you self taught?

For the most part! I'm studying BA Animation right now which is basically an art boot camp. That being said, prior to the course I had almost no formal training and certainly no background in the fine arts.

this section will be updated with more answers as and when they're needed.

TERMS OF SERVICE


a pdf version of these terms is available upon request.

GENERAL

  • By commissioning me, you agree to ALL of the terms outlined below, in addition to the terms in outlined the workflow, crediting, and design sections.

  • All commissions will be paid via Ko-Fi or Stripe until further notice.

  • All commissions will be charged in GBP (Great British Pounds).

  • I reserve the right to deny a commission at any time, for any reason.

  • I retain full rights to the commissioned artwork under all circumstances. I may post, crop, and otherwise distribute it as I please. However, I will not use the commissioned artwork for further financial purposes (i.e. stickers, t-shirts, other physical or digital merchandising) without obtaining written permission from the original client.

  • Unless a separate contract is drafted, the source file of the work is not provided. You will receive a high-quality watermark-free image(s) in PNG format, but I can also provide JPG, PDF, and TIFF files on request.

  • If the work is intended for printing at any point, including personal use, please inform me before production begins. I typically work in 72dpi for ease of digital transfer and viewing unless otherwise specified.

  • You may not use my work for any commercial purposes without obtaining explicit written permission for every intended commercial use before I begin work on the project. This includes work intended for use in monetized YouTube videos and paid Twitch emotes.

  • Any and all commissioned work that is intended for commercial purposes and/or commercial use will be subject to licensing fees.This includes work intended for use in monetized YouTube videos and paid Twitch emotes, but will be significantly less expensive for independent and/or solo creators.

  • You may not transform any commissioned artwork into a NFT (Non-Fungible Token) under any circumstances.

  • You may not feed any commissioned artwork, or indeed any artwork produced by me, including my artist name and/or brand, into any Generative AI, Machine Learning, Text-to-Image, or Image-to-Image function such as Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, or Deep AI without obtaining explicit written permission from myself.

  • Payment plans are negotiable for more expensive works (typically £100 and above) on a case-by-case basis.

  • I will only start work on your commission after receiving payment, whether in full or a first instalment.

  • I do not and will not accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment. If you attempt to pay me with cryptocurrency, I will reject your commission.

  • Failure to complete payment or communicate within an agreed timeframe (2 weeks unless otherwise specified) will result in your commission being revoked and an appropriate refund, if any, will be issued.

  • In the case of a refund, the buyer is responsible for paying any and all transaction fees that are incurred through usage of payment processors. In other words, when providing a refund I will only return the money that I actually receive, and not the transaction fee that is taken by PayPal or Stripe.

  • Repeated failure to send payment or communicate will result in your accounts being blacklisted from commissioning further works.

  • I will only give complete refunds if I am still early in the thumbnail or sketch phase or if I have not started.

WORKFLOW

  • I can work to deadlines, but I will need at least 7 WORKING days regardless of the simplicity of the piece(s), and deadlines MUST be negotiated before production begins. Shorter deadlines will include a Rush Work fee that scales depending on the complexity of the piece.

  • Frequency of providing Works in Progress will be agreed upon before production begins. Typically, I will provide updates at every "Stage" of the process; thumbnails, rough sketch, clean sketch, linewok, flat colours, shading, and final check.

  • Additional Works in Progress may be requested at any point in the process.

  • During the Thumbnails and Rough Sketch stages of the process, any changes are free. During the Clean Sketch stage of the process, most changes are free, bar complete restructuring of the piece.

  • Once the lineart or painting phase begins, only minor changes can be made for free. (For example, colour updates, hairstyle tweaks, added accessories) Big changes (such as additional characters) will be charged at the standard additional rate.

  • If you would like something drastically different and want no more progress made on the original commission after I have passed the lineart phase, I can give you a partial refund (no more than 50%) and you may commission me separately for the different piece that you would like.

  • If you repeatedly pester me for updates on the piece or for free changes outside what is outlined here or discussed before production begins, I will cancel the commission and refund you according to the progress I have made.

  • In the case of a refund, the buyer is responsible for paying any and all transaction fees that are incurred through usage of payment processors. In other words, when providing a refund I will only return the money that I actually receive, and not the transaction fee that is taken by PayPal or Stripe.

CREDITING & LICENSING

  • Commercial usage rights for any commissioned work will be subject to liccensing fees depending on the scope of usage desired. This includes work intended for use in monetized YouTube videos and paid Twitch emotes. This will be discussed for each individual work before production begins.

  • I have the right to deny usage of my artwork in any situation.

  • You may not re-upload commissioned artwork to your own social media accounts without obtaining explicit written permission from myself and any other parties involved, such as the owners of depicted characters that do not belong to the original client.

  • You may use commissioned work on RP sites/forums/et cetera, provided there is credit visible on your account and/or forum posts.

  • You may upload commissioned artwork to Toyhou.se, but you must link to my Toyhou.se account under the "on-site artist" credit section of the image. (@digi)

  • You may not transform the commissioned artwork into a NFT under any circumstances.

  • You may not feed any commissioned artwork, or indeed any artwork produced by me, including my artist name and/or brand, into any Generative AI, Machine Learning, Text-to-Image, or Image-to-Image function such as Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, or Deep AI without obtaining explicit written permission from myself.

  • Any usage of Generative AI, Machine Learning, Text-to-Image or Image-to-Image functions on any work produced by me without explicit authorization and written permission will be automatically taken as an indication of purchase of an exclusive modification rights license and the client will be charged accordingly. This includes using a Generative AI to 'finish' a work-in-progress commission.

DESIGNS

  • Refusal to comply with these terms will result in a permanent blacklist from all types of independent commissioned work.

  • When commissioning a custom character design or re-design that has no pre-existing, complete visual references (i.e. fursona, D&D character, design for a character in a written work), the client retains total rights to the character and partial rights to the design.

  • In other words, the client (you) retains complete rights to the character concept, personality, behaviour and any sound-related aspects of their existence that are not under copyright by others. The design specifically produced by me is considered a co-created work; the rights of the character description and any written guidance or tweaks given to me to create the visual work remain with the client, but the rights to the image and produced design iteration are mine.

  • In short, the client cannot claim that my visual iteration of the character design was produced by anyone but the client and myself, the artist. The client cannot claim they were the sole creator of the visual design or that it was created by a party unrelated to myself.

  • In terms of image rights, as stated in the general Terms of Service: I retain full rights to the commissioned artwork under all circumstances. I may post, crop, and otherwise distribute it as I please. However, I will not use the commissioned artwork for further financial purposes (i.e. stickers, t-shirts, other physical or digital merchandising) without obtaining explicit written permission from the original client.

  • When purchasing an adoptable or another kind of pre-made design, you are given total rights to the character and partial rights to the design.

  • You cannot claim the original pre-made design as yours, but you may update and edit it within reason; dramatic overhauls that render the design unrecognizable from its original iteration are fine, but please continue to note the purchased design as the original inspiration.

  • Upon posting any design of mine to your own social media for the first time, you MUST link back to one of my social media profiles and cite me as the original creator of the design.

  • If you post a pre-made design to Toyhou.se, you MUST credit me as the creator of the design under "On-Site Creator" when creating the character. (@digi)

  • If you post a character inspired by a bought pre-made design to Toyhou.se, you MUST credit me as the inspiration for the design under the "Additional Credits" section of the Ownership tab on the character. (@digi)
