TERMS OF SERVICE

1. Art which is purchased from me may not be altered in any way without explicit permission from me, excluding resizing. This includes cropping which may obscure my signature, recoloring, editing, and other digital or physical changes.

2. Art which has been purchased from me can be resold for any amount of money and/or traded in exchange for other goods so long as the new owner the art is provided my terms of service and account username.

3. The posting of my art requires credit which allows any viewers to find me. This includes my signature on the art itself and a link to view one of my social media accounts.
A. My Instagram, despotikon, and my Furaffinity  despotikon are the most acceptable forms of credit.
B. If the site you are posting on does not allow for such a link to be added, actions such as “tagging,” “flagging,” and “labeling” should include my username, despotikon.

4. The price of artwork may vary from listed commission prices due to complexity, demand for faster completion time, or a number of other circumstances. The exact price will be established before beginning the project, even if you are not immediately charged.
A. Changes which are requested after the agreed price is set may affect how much I will charge you, and I will require payment for that charge BEFORE I have drawn it.
B. I reserve the right to decline requests for changes which do not include repairing mistakes. Add-ons and large alterations make my job a lot messier, and complicate the agreement originally made between the customer and I.

5. I do not require payment until the customer has approved a sketch of the piece. All images sent to the customer prior to payment will be watermarked, indicating they are not permitted for any use other than the customer to evaluate before I proceed with the project.

6. I cannot refund a customer after I have worked beyond the "sketch" portion of the project. This means if you have received an image from me without a watermark, I cannot refund you.

7. I do not sell art to people under the age of 18.

CONDITIONS OF SALE

-> To contact me regarding commissions, please either send me a note or comment on one of my posts relating to commissions. If I do not reply quickly enough, feel free to send me a DM on my Instagram @ despotikon.

-> I do NOT draw content that reflects racist, classist, homophobic, or xenophobic values. If you are a racist, white supremacist, or the like, please do not attempt to commission me.

-> I do NOT draw content that depicts violence towards feral animals, animal abuse, or bestiality; I also do NOT draw content that depicts incest, pedophilia, rape, and similar crimes. I do not stand with Furaffinity’s lax attitude regarding cub porn and fantasy bestiality. I will draw diaperfurs and littlefurs in non-sexual scenarios.

-> Drug use, gore, unsanitary situations, insects, weapons, transformation, death, and so on are all okay.

-> I am a creator who stands with people of color in the fandom, and who stands with my fellow LGBT furries. Do not use racial, homophobic, or transphobic language that you cannot reclaim (and then, ONLY when referring to yourself or your character)when discussing commissions with me. Words which will get you blocked include but are not limited to: c-boy or c*ntboy, futa, shemale, tr*nny, c**n, k*ke, f*g, n*, and the like.

-> If you want a type of art you don’t see here, please feel free to ask me about it anyway. I am willing to draw almost anything besides the above content, and I love discussing openly with customers.
