Requirements to Commission
Before I can accept a commission from you, I need you to meet all of the following criteria:
That you are at least 18 years of age
That you have either paypal or an Australian bank account for payment
That you have a valid email address
That you are able to provide at least one other contact method in case there is an issue with contact via email.
Important information
Pricing and payment
Pricing is in AUD and is based on complexity
The prices listed above are the base starting prices for that type of commission, but the price may increase based on complexity.
the prices are based on the time I expect to spend on your commission. Things like additional characters, complex designs, lack of references for the characters etc all play into the final price.
Once you submit the Commission quote form, which gives me a brief overview of your request, I will reach out and we can discuss the specifics of the piece you would like! Once we are both on the same page, I'll send you the final quote, then once I receive the deposit amount, the commission is considered "accepted".
Paypal only
Unfortunately, I'm only able to accept Paypal payments at this time, as it's the only option I'm aware of that is feasible for me to use due to currency conversion, and other options like Venmo not being available in Australia.
I am open to discuss other payment options, and am actively looking for other ways to accept payment, but for now Paypal is the only payment method I can currently accept.
Deposit Required
I Before starting a commission, I require a 50% (minimum) non-refundable deposit on all commission pieces. Once the commission process has begun, that deposit can not be returned for any reason.
payment plans
I understand that money is tight for everyone right now! I am happy to offer repeat customers payment-plan options on commissions over $150AUD. Unfortunately though, due to the number of scams going around right now, I can only offer this to folks who have already previously ordered commissions from me or who I know for sure will follow through on agreed plan.
Use and rights of the finished piece
For the most part, I retain the rights to the finished artwork, meaning I can post the image to any of my social media accounts or it to advertise my commission services in the future. You can use your commissioned piece for personal use, use it to promote yourself or agreed-upon projects online and may re-sell the piece later. However, unless previously agreed upon before the commission was accepted, you may not:
Remove my watermarks or otherwise edit the commissioned artwork
Claim the commissioned artwork as your own
Use the commissioned artwork or any WIPs given to you in AI training or as a prompt for AI (e.g. give the AI a sketch and ask it to finalise the image, or ask it to generate similar images based on the final product)
Use the commissioned artwork for NFTs or any similar crypto-projects.
Use the commissioned artwork in any commercial large-scale productions.
If you would like to purchase full commercial rights to the artwork, which would allow you to do any or all of the things mentioned above, considerable additional fees will apply.
Providing Reference
If you are commissioning artwork of a specific character or person, please provide any reference images you may have. For portraits of specific people or pets, reference images such as photos are essential. The more, the better!
For fictional characters/OCs, reference sheets are ideal, but any artwork or images you have of them is helpful. The only exception to this is AI generated images. If you have no visual reference, written is fine, but may incur additional fees depending on complexity and specifics (feel free to reach out if you’re uncertain)
What’s included and what you can expect from me
The Final Artwork
Once your commission is completed, I will send you a high-resolution version of the image with a small watermark (usually “©Cy Cyborg” in one of the corners and hidden in various places in the artwork itself).
A lower-resolution image will also be uploaded to my art social media accounts, including Bluesky, Tumblr and Mastodon. Of course, if you would prefer the commission not to be shared publicly for whatever reason, please let me know.
Works in Progress images
For all commission types except the Artistic Freedom Commissions, I'll send you WIPs (work in progress images) to ensure you are getting exactly what you want! These WIP’s will include heavier, more noticable versions of the watermarks and Ai protection filters. These are applied to the WIP image as a theft protection measure and will not be removed under any circumstances.
If there's something in a WIP you don't like or are concerned about, please don't hesitate to let me know as early as possible! It's much easier to fix an awkward pose or mistake as a sketch than it is to fix once everything is coloured and shaded!
Excessive reworking in the late stages of the commission may incur additional fees if they're going to add a significant amount of time to your commission. I will, of course, discuss this with you first.
Timeframe
For Standard Commissions, I aim to have your artwork finished within 2 weeks of starting (that being, once I have sent you confirmation that I have started working on it). Artistic freedom commissions have a faster turnaround, and, depending on complexity, will normally be finished within a week.
However, as a chronically ill/disabled person, sometimes things may come up that can slow this process down. If it seems likely that a commission will take longer to finish, then I will endeavour to let you know as soon as possible and give warning ahead of time if I can!
Time-lapse of the Process
Most commissions, unless they contain NSFW content, are recorded and may be used in video content I make later, either as a dedicated time-lapse video or in the background of other video content uploaded to Youtube and Tik Tok.
As with the final image, let me know if you do not want them to be shared publicly. Please be advised, all commission processes will still be recorded for legal reasons
