[note, updated June 2nd 2024]Hello! Thank you for visiting my landing page :-)If you found this page by way of Xitter, I'm sorry to say that I have been officially locked out of the @willowsquest account there. Muskrat took away text 2FA, which ultimately screwed me over from being able to log in when I got a new phone this year. I hadn't been using the account much anyway, but I am still a bit sad about it.If you need to contact me, feel free to utilize my EMAIL or my DISCORD (just let me know your business in your first message).I am currently most active on BLUESKY and in my DISCORD SERVER, the latter of which I have been using to share my uncropped art and various announcements. (It's a lurker-friendly server, with a "visitor" role for anyone who only wants the art and updates, and a "server member" role for folks who like to chat.)I'll edit this note as things change, so feel free to check in every so often.Take care!

Commission TOS (profit and non-profit)

WillowsQuest Freelance Commission TOS
1. Commissioned art, by default, is for personal non-profit uses only; icons, headers, reference sheet for future non-profit commissions, reposting on social media, etc are okay; use in advertising, promotional material, printing, digital/physical book illustration, livestream content, development of a brand aesthetic, etc is not granted. Usage rights may be purchased at time of commission or future date for additional fees.
!! COMMISSIONED ART IS NOT TO BE USED FOR NFTs OR OTHERWISE SOLD OR TRADED IN RELATION TO CRYPTOCURRENCY. ART IS NOT TO BE USED FOR TRAINING ANY “AI”/MACHINE LEARNING PROGRAMS OR ALGORITHMS. Noncompliance will revoke ALL usage rights, with no right to refunds. !!
2. I do not claim ownership of the character(s) depicted within the image(s). All other rights default to me, including the right to post the commissioned images/designs in relation to promotion of my business on social media and in my portfolio.
3. I will provide a full-size unwatermarked image for your personal usage as well as a smaller compressed version with both of our names/handles, both via Google Drive. You may edit and crop either to your liking, though I HIGHLY recommend not posting the full-size version in its entirety to social media, as people love to steal. The compressed version is provided for ease of safe reposting, should you not have access to image editing software of your own. If for whatever reason you repost a version of the image that does not contain my @, crediting somewhere within easy observation of the image is incredibly appreciated.
4. Self-edited, altered, traced, or otherwise heavily used versions of commissions (eg. inking a sketch or coloring non-colored art) are NOT exempt from non-profit TOS. Any design work that is used for business/branding purposes, even if drawn by other artists, MUST pay applicable usage fees. Deliberate evasions of these fees are subject to additional actions.
FOR PROFIT
5. Usage rights are purchased in addition to the base price of the commissioned work, and are determined by a] exclusivity of use b] in what forms of use c] duration of use d] how much of the work will be monetized, among other possible factors. Specific terms are to be discussed upon drafting of individual contracts, with possibility of percentage-based payment with track record of dependable gross profit.
Payment Process (50/50)
1. I invoice (via paypal) for 50% of the estimated project price at the start of the project. This fee is non-refundable after you have approved the initial concept sketch(es).
2. I will send update previews (watermarked with my handle) as appropriate through the stages of the project, at which points you may request reasonable minor alterations. Significant alterations will add additional fees in proportion to requested changes, which will be reflected in the final invoice.
3. When I have finished the project, I will send one final preview (watermarked) to be approved by you. Once the final is approved, I will send the second invoice for 50%+(any additional fees). After this invoice is paid, 100% of the project fees become nonrefundable, and you will receive the final files.
Payment Process (100%)
1. I invoice (via paypal) for 100% of the estimated project price at the start of the project. Once the project has begun, any refund requests will only receive a maximum 50% refund, to account for the time I have already spent preparing to take your project instead of someone else’s.
2. I will send update previews (watermarked with my handle) as appropriate through the stages of the project, at which points you may request reasonable minor alterations. Significant alterations will add additional fees in proportion to requested changes, which must be paid before delivery of the final product.
3. At these update stages, any cancellation refund requests will decrease in proportion to % of work completed.
4. When I have finished the project, I will send one final preview (watermarked) to be approved by you. At this stage, 100% of the fee is nonrefundable, and you will receive the final files.
Due Payment and Late Fees
1. Payment of final invoice is due within two weeks after project finalization, and final files will not be delivered prior to payment confirmation.
2. Late payments will incur late fees, up to the UK standard of Fixed Penalty (£40, £70, or £100) + 8% interest rate (Fixed Penalty dependent on original cost of invoice). Reasonable delays in payment may be accounted for on individual basis, but payments later than 30 days WILL incur fees.
This outline will be ammended as necessary, and a copy will be provided with the invoice for your records. Last updated August 2023Payment of the invoice is understood to be accepting of these terms
