What's the commission process?
This will change based on the type of commission, but overall, I will send you an initial rough sketch to confirm that you're happy with the overall pose/concept. Once you've confirmed the sketch, I'll send you an invoice via Stripe.Once the invoice is completed, I'll start working on the cleaned up sketch/design, sending progress images throughout the process. Please make sure all change requests are given at this stage, as only minor changes are allowed during the line art and coloring stages.For VTuber designs, you will be given two design passes before finalizing a character design. Please ensure that any major design changes are made prior to finalization.*** Max of 3 changes per commission. Any additional changes will yield a $10 fee per change.**
What is your turnaround time?
Generally speaking, I aim to complete commissions within 3 months from invoicing. Since this is my hobby, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to work on the commission outside of weekends or weekday evenings. If you require a faster turnaround time, please contact me with that deadline.
What's your refund policy?
You are free to cancel your commission any time prior to invoicing. This includes the pre-invoicing rough sketch phase. However, if you have received a rough sketch and you wish to cancel the commission, you are not allowed to use my sketch.A 50% refund can be issued during the sketching phase. A refund will not be issued once in the line art and coloring phases.If I cancel your commission prior or during the sketching phase, you will be completely refunded.
What's the difference between personal use commissions and commercial use commissions?
Personal use artwork is artwork that is not used to generate a profit of any kind. Examples are using the artwork as a wallpaper or a profile picture on a non-profit site (Twitter, Discord, etc.), or printing for yourself (not selling).Commercial use artwork is artwork that can be used to generate a profit, solicits customers, or directly or indirectly leads to financial gain. This includes the emotes you use on Twitch! VTuber designs and reference sheets also count as commercial use if you are using them as a streaming asset or as a means to market your brand.
Crediting
Do not claim any artwork commissioned from me as yours. When using my artwork (such as posting on Twitter or using emotes on Twitch), please link back to my Twitter, @LiuliVT.
Additional usages
By commissioning me, you're agreeing that you will not use a non-commercial commissioned piece for commercial purposes. You are also agreeing that you will not use any of the commissioned work for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) or anything relating to NFTs.By default, you are consenting to me using any commissioned pieces in a portfolio or to be posted online by me. Please contact me if you wish to opt out.

Terms of Service
Agreement to Terms
By commissioning me, you agree to all terms of service. The terms and conditions are subject to change without notice. Anything agreed upon by both parties in writing, including but not limited to social media, email, or Discord, will be treated as a binding agreement.
Commissions
Currently, I take commissions for full or partial costumes. Unfortunately, I am not at a skill level for wigs or props where I feel comfortable enough to be accepting any commissions for them.I live in an apartment that has two cats, and regularly come in contact with a dog. If you have severe allergies, I unfortunately cannot make accommodations as it is impossible for me to work in a location without pet dander.
Payment
Upon approval of a commission request, you will be required to pay a down payment for two times the cost of materials. The down payment must be received within 1 week of decision of fabrics and/or additional materials. I will not start any sewing or crafting work prior to receiving the down payment.The commissioner will be provided a quote upon approval of a commission, however the quote may not reflect the final cost of the commission. Final cost of the commission is determined by the total hours worked on the commission as well as the price of any additional fabric or materials purchased after initial down payment, which will be provided to the commissioner via Google Sheets.Invoices are completed via Stripe. Payment plans are available for commissions above $200. ALL commission payments must be greater than 25% of the remaining price after down payment, and must be fully paid within 3 months. A 50$ non-refundable fee will be added per month after the initial 3 months should the invoice not be fully paid.In order to comply with tax laws, an 8.5% tax will be added to the final total of the commission, and will be reflected on the Stripe invoice.
Refusals, Refunds, and Cancellations
I am allowed to decline any commission for ANY reason. I am allowed to cancel a commission at any point during the commission process should I feel uncomfortable or harassed by the commissioner.If I or the commissioner cancels a commission after purchasing materials, the commissioner will not be refunded the down payment. If a commission is cancelled by the commissioner after sewing has started, an invoice will be sent covering the hours already spent working on the commission.Refunds and cancellations may not be approved depending on the status of the commission and the reason for cancelling. Please contact me prior to cancelling a commission. If a chargeback is made without contact, the commissioner will be permanently banned from commissioning anything from me and legal action will be taken. Public posts may also be created to warn other artists.
Shipping
Shipping is not included in the price of a commission. I will not ship the costume until the full invoice has been completed.Shipping costs will be calculated upon the completion of the commission, and included in the final invoice. I am not responsible for any damages or loss during transit. Priority shipping is available, and will be reflected in the shipping costs if requested. Should a cosplay be returned to me due to an incorrect shipping address, the commissioner will be required to pay an additional shipping cost.
Deadline
I will do my best to meet deadlines, however I cannot guarantee that a deadline will be met. For commissions required within 1 month, an additional 50% rush fee will be added to the cost of the commission.
Sizing and Measurements
This is a costume custom fit to your size! Please make sure that the measurements you include in the request form are accurate. I am not responsible for the suit not fitting due to incorrect measurements, or any drastic weight changes.I will not accept alteration requests, unless we have already discussed it prior to shipping. Additional shipping costs will calculated should any alterations be required.
