Art & Illustration Terms
1. GENERAL TERMS
- All pieces may or will include a subtle sign that you may not remove.
- I might record the drawing process and post it on my Youtube.
- Prices are subject to change based on demand.
- I have the right to reject any order that I do not feel comfortable drawing for any reason.
2. PAYMENT
- Currency accepted is USD (United States Dollars) and can be paid through PayPal, CashApp or Venmo. Any international transactions must be made via PayPal.
- Commissions can be paid either 100% upfront or split 50% upfront and 50% after sketch approval.
- Do not send me any payment before I have agreed to give you a slot and requested you to send me the payment.
3. PROCESS AND DELIVERY
- I will notify you when I have started on your commission and you, therefore, lose the rights to a refund (see point 7 further below for more info on refunds).
- While I'm working on your commission I will stay in contact with you and periodically send you work-in-progress at different stages for your approval.
- The amount of reviews I request from you depends on the complexity of the project.
- During the reviews, you will see work-in-progress and these images will usually include a watermark and be smaller than the finished piece.
- The time it takes to finish your commission varies 1 week - 2 weeks depending on factors such as health, the complexity of the commissioned piece, and my current work load.
- If anything comes up that will slow the progress of the initially estimated delivery time I will let you know as soon as possible.
- Once the piece is finished you will receive the full-resolution image in both print-ready and web-display color profiles. Note that there is no physical product.
4. REVISIONS
- You get 3 rounds of changes on the commissioned piece included in the price. These changes apply to the initial concepting and rough stage only.
- A fee will be added if you want something changed on the final piece - unless a misunderstanding from my side has been made.
- If you wish for me to change something in the piece after you have previously approved it, I will charge you a fee to change it. The amount of the extra charge depends on the change you want me to make and is usually based on an hourly wage.
5. COPYRIGHT / USAGE POLICY
- I, Gabriel Lewis (the artist), claim the rights to the produced drawing, not the buyer. Therefore I am allowed to use the copyrighted artwork to:
- Promote myself with it anywhere appropriate
- Publish books with it (artbooks, etc.)
- Display it everywhere to my liking (website, social media, etc.)
The buyer is allowed to:
- Use the commissioned piece for personal use unless agreed otherwise (you can upload it on all your social media profiles, forums, etc.)
- Print & display the artwork and claim the character(s) as their own, but not the artwork itself.
- Use the artwork to promote themselves. You are not forced to give me credit when you post it but it is very appreciated.
- Use the artwork on their Youtube channel and in monetized videos as long as the artwork itself is not the main subject for the earnings.
The following is considered copyright infringement:
- Reproducing or using the copyrighted artwork commercially (making money off the commissioned piece in any way).
- Claiming the artwork as your own.
- Removing my signature from the artwork.
- Altering the artwork in any way without my consent.
I reserve the full rights to the image and it's use/distribution unless otherwise agreed upon (rights to the image for your own non-personal use may be purchased at any time).
6. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
- I will do everything I can to make my customers happy!
- If you have a problem with anything in regards to the commissioned piece please tell me right away so we can find a solution together.
- I am willing to change some of my terms for you if you ask before I start on your commission. If you, e.g., do not want me to post your art anywhere, we can discuss this.

- The buyer is not allowed a refund once I started working on the commission. (Consideration can be made for extreme circumstances.)
- If for any reason I am unable to start your commission you will receive a full refund.
- If you cancel your order before I start it, you will receive a full refund.
- If you are getting a refund, do not request a Paypal chargeback. I will transfer the money back to you myself.
If you request a Paypal chargeback at any point when you were not allowed to ask for a refund you will lose all beforementioned rights to the commissioned piece and I will have the full right to profit further from it in any way. I will decline the chargeback and supply Paypal with our conversations in which we talk about the commission as evidence that I have completed work for you. Furthermore, you will be blacklisted for commissioning me again.
If the buyer breaks any of the points stated above they will lose all the beforementioned rights to the artwork commissioned by me, Gabriel Lewis (the artist), and I will have the right to profit further from the commissioned artwork in any way I see fit.
