Copyright of the art commissioned belongs to the artist. I'll post the art to social media or my website's online portfolio unless discussed otherwise by both parties.
No commercial use:
Commissioned artwork can only be used for personal or private use and cannot be reproduced without my consent. A separate amount will be incurred if commercial use is needed.
Additionally, no one is allowed to mint my artwork as a NFT (Non Fungible Token). My commissioned and pre-existing work, cannot be minted into an NFT by a commissioner nor anyone else.

I want one! What should I do?:
1. Fantastic! Now you email me and ask me what you'd like for me to sketch in detail. I'll contact you for sealing the deal! Keep in mind though, that I may decline a commission due to work schedule.

2. I begin working on a rough sketch. I can make corrections and changes only through this step. If you approve, then...

3. You send me the full payment via PayPal. As soon as I receive the money I start working on the final piece. I can share some of the ongoing progress if you like.

4. I can only make a few minor changes on the finished digital artwork, none if it is a traditional piece.

5. I mail you the original penciled or inked piece (or digital piece if you are a person of science!).
