Please take the time to read my TOS! It is important to respect my terms should you want to commission me.
Commission Agreement
Prior to commissioning Toby, you are automatically agreeing to these terms. As a client, you are expected to read these terms. Commissioning stolen characters or characters that do not belong to you without explicit permission from the owner (unless it is fan artwork) will not be accepted and Toby reserves the right to refuse to work on these requests. Half of a commission payment must be made up front when the commission is agreed upon, and half is to be paid at the end of the commission process when the piece is complete.

Commissioner(s) agree to the following statements:
1] You may not use any of Toby's artwork for any commercial use unless a copyright fee is discussed and paid for.
Toby reserves the right to refuse a commission should it be used for financial gain after the commission is completed- he does not claim ownership, and copyrights of any clients characters, however the artwork is still under his name and cannot be posted anywhere without the appropriate credit, unless stated otherwise explicitly between commissioner and artist. Prints, posters or t-shirts designs of any kind including Toby's artwork are not allowed to be made / sold for any profit without stating in a contract and paying a copyright or royalties fee.
2] Refunds are not available beyond the sketching phase.
Toby will not refund you the full amount once the commission has moved past the sketching stage. This stage will be clearly signposted and should you agree to allow him to start lining you forfeit the right to request a refund as you have given express permission to continue. Major changes past this stage - changing the pose of the entire character, redrawing the lineart from scratch etc. - will be charged. This charge will change depending on the amount of time needed to implement the change. Toby reserves the right to cancel any commissions if the commissioner harasses, threatens, or makes the process particularly difficult due to rudeness or out of spite.
3] Toby can decline any future commission work.
Toby can refuse to do a piece for a number of reasons- if the artwork is being commissioned by someone who has previously been rude or difficult to work with, or if the artwork contains content that Toby does not want to or isn't comfortable drawing.

5) You are forbidden from using any of my work, commissioned or not, for the use of Generative AI or training any AI models, or to promote the use of Generative AI. This includes, but is not limited to, ChatGPT, Midjourney, Claude, or any other model that uses images to generate slop. This behaviour will not be tolerated in any capacity and Toby will blacklist you from further commission work if this is found to be used.

Images are preferred, but if you can only provide a description, I will send you a form with information to fill out about the character/commission to make the process as smooth as we can!
