GENERAL
Communication between artist and client is expected.Artist will always be as prompt as possible responding to communication and give clear expectations up front to client. Client is expected to reciprocate prompt and clear communication.Visual references are preferred but not required, other aspects (pose, mood, colors, etc) can be specified or left up to the artist’s discretion.Artist reserves the right to terminate client interaction at any time and for any reason should the client break professional conduct or in the case of lack of communication. Some cancellations by the artist may result in refund/partial refund to client, please see refunds/cancellationsIf the client wishes to be put on a “waitlist" then the client must be made aware that there is a $5 USD fee that permanently holds your spot until the artist has a spot available. If approved, your spot and request will be added to the Trello queue.The artist opens commission slots when they are able to handle the work. Expected deadlines are always communicated to clients, and they vary by commission type.Payment is required before ANY work begins. Any quote for $100 or under requires full payment before starting, any quote for work $100 and over requires a 50% deposit before the artist begins working on the sketch, although full payment is good as well. If the client would like to pay only the deposit, please let the artist know beforehand as they do not mark invoices for partial payment automatically.Works in progress will be provided at the sketch stage. Beyond that can be provided at client’s request. Artist does not typically send more than the sketch WIP before completion unless requested. Additionally, corrections during the sketch stage are free of charge and welcomed. Edits past this stage may incur large fees, up to the base price of the commission.Expect a sketch within 1-3 days of order placement (if the wait time is longer, artist will have informed you upon initial communication). Final piece timelines are dependent on workload and schedule, the artist will provide an estimate when the sketch has been approved. Clients will be informed of delays and problems as soon as possible. Clients can contact the artist at any time for timeline updates.Errors that are the artist's mistake (were present in your references and missed, etc.) can be fixed free of charge even after commission has been completed. Ex: wrong eye color, forgot to add an item of apparel, etc. These errors will be fixed ASAP.
UPON COMPLETION
Upon completion of the commission, the commissioner will receive:
- A large, full size PNG (minimum pixel length 1000)- Upon request, the commissioner can be provided a smaller PNG more suitable for uploading to the internet. This will normally include “Up”, “Upload” or “Resize” in the file name.- Upon request, the client is able to receive any raw file containing the layers of the work. However, the client is not authorized to make changes to those files and post them (i.e. recoloring to other characters) without the artist’s permission.- If the client has a pending deposit, the client will receive a watermarked version and be requested to send the payment in full. Upon payment, the client will receive the un-watermarked version.
RIGHTS & PERMISSIONS
ALL COMMISSIONED WORK discussed in this agreement are NON-COMMERCIAL and shall be treated as such. Individual contracts will be written when art is commissioned for COMMERCIAL ( for profit ) use.In commissioning Viktiipunk (hereafter known as the artist), you (hereafter known as client) are purchasing their labor only. The artist will retain full rights to all work produced under and prefaced by this contract, unless otherwise agreed upon explicitly and fully paid for in a drafted and signed contract.In commissioning the artist, client agrees that the artist has permission to draw their character(s) and/or intellectual properties under your direction, but not in any commercial capacity unless requested by the artist and confirmed by the client. The client agrees that if they are commissioning the artist to draw original characters that do not belong to them, that they have gotten express permission from the character’s owners for them to be drawn by the artist, and that the content of the commission is known and approved of by them.The artist does not claim ownership of any intellectual property (characters, etc) depicted in work done unless otherwise stated (for example: Intellectual property created by the artist and requested by the client). The artist does retain full rights to all images produced and may showcase art produced online and elsewhere. The artist may use images in portfolios, sketchbook collections, as commission examples, and all other forms of self-promotion. The artist may sell commissioned images in mass art collections (i.e. digitally downloadable art packs, art cds, etc). However, the artist will not sell prints or any other merchandise of individual pieces containing or depicting original characters without client’s permission.If a client wishes to remain anonymous, their name can be omitted from postings online. If a client wishes their art not to be posted online or otherwise shown after completion, this can be arranged (for example: gifts, etc). However, please note that this arrangement to keep art private and unposted shall only last for a pre-arranged amount of time, or if none is pre-arranged, one year, after which point the artist is free to post the artwork. Please note that clients wishing their works not be posted must understand that they are also expressly forbidden to post or share the artwork they receive anywhere online. By doing so, they then allow the artist to post it themselves.The client may never claim work done under this contract as their own, redistribute it, or use it for any external commercial project. Non-commercial projects (for example, making prints of commissioned art but not-for-profit) must be discussed with the artist beforehand to confirm no profit will come from the artist's work to the client.Watermarks or signatures, when present, are not to be removed, erased, cropped out, or shrunk too small to be easily readable. If an image must be cropped or shrunk (for use in a profile, avatar, background, etc) credit must be listed in a visible area in a readable font with appropriate link(s) included (i.e. on twitter credit may be given in the user's bio).
YCHs & ADOPTABLES
a. General
YCHs and Adoptables will be announced through Discord, Patreon/Substar, and Twitter; availability will be subject to the individual posts guidelines.
Payment is expected in full 24 hours after claiming or winning a bid, if client fails to provide information / payment in a timely manner the slot will be revoked and re-listed
Failure to pay or cancel in a timely manner can result in the YCH being relisted. This includes cases where the winner fails to claim their piece in one way or another. The second highest bidder may be contacted for an opportunity to claim if it isn’t re-listed right away.
b. Your Character Here (YCH)
Individual guidelines per listing usually applies, but unless specified otherwise there is usually no gender, species, or wing restrictions.
For best results, I do however recommend a YCH that looks like it would already fit your character.
I reserve the right to turn down a YCH claim for a slot if I do not feel the character(s) would be a good fit.
c. Adoptables & Custom Designs
I still maintain the rights to all work I create in any digital, traditional or print form under the name Viktiipunk. This includes but is not limited to adoptables and custom designs.Adoptables and custom designs are sold for personal private use and do not come with a commercial license by default. They can therefore not be used for i.e. books, shows, comics or merchandising without a contractual agreement.You are free to re-sell, trade or give away any Viktiipunk designs within the community while following the terms of service. In turn, when a design changes hands, the terms of service still apply. It is the sellers responsibility to make the new owner aware.While in possession of a Viktiipunk design you are free to; alter the design, this includes but is not limited to cosmetic changes, name, gender, species, orientation, theme and backstory. Although, you can not falsely claim a designs’ origin or be deceptive by claiming work as your own, as proper credit must be given.You are free to share your design and related artwork on social media. If artwork is not made by me make sure to check the relevant artists' individual terms of service for their guidelines.If terms and service are not upheld your design rights will be revoked. This means the design returns to me to be archived and you can no longer use the character. You are effectively leasing the design. This is always a last resort and reserved for gross negligence. (i.e. breaking the licensing agreement by trying to use the design for commercial purposes without a contractual agreement, etc.)
PAYMENT DETAILS
Payment is conducted through PayPal, Stripe, or Square Cash and in USD only. Paypal email is [email protected].Please note, I will send you a Paypal Invoice when discussing the commission with you over email or messenger, so only use this link if you cannot find the link in our conversations. If you cannot or wish to not pay with PayPal, please let me know and I will send you a Square Invoice that you can pay with any credit card, but an additional fee will be required for this method.Please be mindful of conversion rates when sending payment.For commissions totalling more than $200.00, payment plans can be negotiated.
REFUNDS & CANCELLATIONS
Artist reserves the right to decline any commission, without need for explanation.Clients may cancel at any time during the commission process. If the client wishes to cancel a commission after it has been started and before it is completed, for any reason, there will be a moderate cancellation fee for services already rendered.If only the sketch has been completed, the cancellation fee will be 25% of the full cost of the commission. If full or partial payment has been received, this fee will be deducted and the remainder will be refunded to the commissioner.If work has been completed to a point of 25-50%, kill fee will amount to 50% of the full cost of the image. This fee will be deducted from the payment tendered, and the remainder will be refunded to the commissioner.Excessive harassment, rudeness, or abuse will result in a cancellation of the commission with a refund minus payment for work completed (percentage will be based on artist's discretion) and client will also be blacklisted from any further commissions.
SUBJECT MATTER
Anyone under the age of 18 years age is forbidden to contact me for ANY commission. By contacting me for any adult-centric commission, you are expressly agreeing that you are over 18 years of age. Additionally, anyone under the age of 18 years of age is forbidden to visit, interact with, or transmit my NSFW work and accounts in any way.Artist reserves the right to terminate client interaction if at any point there is reason to suspect that a client under the age of 18 has attempted to purchase NSFW art.
WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE?
Viktiipunk specializes in drawing anthro and feral animal characters. A large portion of my art consists of adult themes. Despite this, I can most definitely draw content outside of this, but anything too far from my usual content may be subject to a small upcharge or some discussion on how to modify the commission.For a more comprehensive list of the content I will and won’t draw, here is my F-list (NSFW link).
I WILL DRAW
These are topics that I am comfortable drawing and will almost always accept !

- Robots & Metallic Prosthetics
- Armor
- Vehicles (trains + cars + planes)
- HumansTaboo Fetish Themes: hyper*, breathplay, incest, drugs, watersports, oviposition, macro/micro, non-con, etc.
