Terms of Service
By commissioning me, you agree to the following:
Half of the payment must be received before the commission will be started.
The other half of the payment must be received before the finished piece is delivered.
You may:
Repost with credit. Link to this website or an appropriate social media account, please. (This is for commissions only - I do not appreciate work that you did not pay for being reposted.)
Use the artwork or design for whatever personal use you like, as long as credit is given if it is displayed online or to the public. You may print the artwork for yourself, but never sell it to others without a prior contract.
Crop the drawing to use for an icon or backdrop (credit is appreciated, especially if the watermark is not visible).
Claim the right to the character I designed for you - but never the drawing itself.
Change details of a design I created for you when drawing them, or commissioning art of them from someone else.
You will not:
Claim my artwork as your own.
Attempt to remove my watermark.
Repost my artwork without credit (at least link to this website or an appropriate social media account, please).
Edit my artwork without permission (color changes, tracing, etc.)
Resell (especially for profit), monetize a design that I created for you, or sell merch / prints of my drawing, without my explicit permission. If you are looking for commercial artwork, then you must discuss a contract with me through email.
Take work-in-progress images to another artist to be finished.
Use my art in relation to NFTs or blockchains.
You also acknowledge that:
I have the right to refuse any order for any reason.
Base prices are subject to change depending on the complexity and amount of extra options you ask for.
I may charge 25% extra or more if you ask me to make significant changes beyond the sketch / color phase. So, please, make sure everything is drawn as you like before I put in a lot of work to polish it! Small adjustments are fine, however. You'll be given notice if a correction will incur a fee before I go ahead with it.
Full refunds are only given if I haven't began work on the commission, or I, personally, have to cancel on you. I have the right to cancel at any time.
If you cancel or refuse to pay after I have started drawing, all access to the art I made for you is revoked - you have no right to bring any unfinished drawings to another artist, or complete them yourself. If you cancel during the sketch phase, you will be charged the price of the sketch only, and the rest will be refunded. If you cancel past that stage being completed (after I review it with you and make corrections), then you will not be reimbursed at all.
By commissioning me, you’re purchasing my labor and a digital copy of my artwork, and the rights to the character design if I am creating it for you. I retain all the rights to the actual artwork itself, which include but are not limited to the right to use the image as a sample for sales or self-promotion, making a profit, streaming the process live, posting to my social media, etc. I will never lay claim to your character, however, and will make it clear it is a commission, as well as tag you in social media posts if you provide a username.
Art takes time. I work at the fastest pace that I can, and I may work on more than one commission at a time. More complex pieces will take longer. I will notify you if anything in life keeps me from working on your order. If you did not pay a deadline fee, then there is no guaranteed date that you will be receiving your piece. I can give you an estimate, but it is not promised.
Finally and most importantly, that all of your needs are taken care of first!
Frequently Asked Questions
About the Artist
Hello there, and thank you for visiting my site!
I'm Lykus - or as my friends call me, Ly!
I am 23 years old, and my pronouns are they/them.I am a freelance digital artist, and also stream on Twitch as a VTuber, on the side.My focus is character art and design. I love to breathe life into other people's ideas, and illustrate what they have been envisioning in their mind for all to finally see. It's important to me that I work closely with my clients, so that I can really capture the spirit and personality of their characters. Many years of designing and worldbuilding experience allows me to offer my expertise by suggesting details, colors, and clothing to give the concept some extra flair.I especially enjoy drawing those from table-top roleplaying games (such as Dungeons & Dragons), RPG and MMO games, as well as original characters for written roleplay.
I, myself, participate in these activities, which allows me not only to understand specifics, but also relate to many of my clients - which is super fun!I look forward to working with you!
