TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PREMADES/AUCTION ART
PAYMENT
Payment will be processed through PAYPAL invoice. No refunds are permitted after the payment is sent. Payment should be made upfront in full at the time of purchase.
Please do not bid on the piece in auction or claim the premade piece if you do not plan to pay, or if you cannot pay for an extended period of time.
Certain auction houses have rules regarding the timeliness of payments and I will follow these.
For amounts over $100 USD I offer payment plans. I will discuss with you to create a payment plan that works for your individual circumstances.
Why are premade pieces sometimes priced differently than commissions?
Completing the piece before pricing it (rather than accepting payment before completion) allows me to consider my exact work time, the difficulty, and my effort instead of using a generic flat price. If I feel I have put a lot of extra time and effort into a piece, the price may be higher than my price for a custom commission to reflect this.
RESELLING/TRADING
Resells and trades are not allowed. Art can be given as a gift. You can purchase the piece with the intention of giving it as a gift immediately, or give the piece as a gift to another person later on after purchase. (This is not a trade where you exchange the piece for another.) Please let me know if you do this so I can keep track of who is using the piece. If you need a new watermark or text on the piece provided by me, the fee is $5 USD.
SHARING
I ask that you always use a watermark or text version when sharing your piece online. This can be your own name/watermark “Name”, mine “PeppermintRain,” or both, “Name / Art by PeppermintRain.” My logo watermark on a piece is also acceptable for sharing. This is to prevent art theft.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
A full resolution, textless, and watermark-free version will be provided to you upon purchase of the piece plus any added text, crops, or resizes you want.
I will add custom text/custom watermarks to your image for free. It is recommended to prevent art theft.
If you do not want any text versions, I will send 2 versions: 1) The original full resolution, textless, and watermark-free version 2) a version with my logo watermark and credit for sharing online.
Color changes, edits, and other changes are offered on certain pieces only. By default, I do not offer these services. If I do, it will be stated in the information for the individual piece.
OC CREATION
You may use the character featured in the piece as your OC/original character. Design credit must be given to me as the original artist and creator. “Design by PeppermintRain” somewhere in your character info will suffice. If you’d like, you may also link back to my website, linktree, or any social media you want but it isn’t required.
OWNERSHIP
As the original artist, I retain the rights to include the pieces in my portfolio. This includes posting to social media, my website, my discord server, etc.
You may not claim that you created the artwork yourself.
I don’t allow “co-ownership” at this time.
You may use the character art and design for whatever purpose you want so long as it is not commercial (for profit) use. My premade pieces are for personal-use only. If you would like commercial use, please contact me; it will be an additional charge.
What is a premade art piece?
It is an art piece that I created by myself following a prompt, concept, or theme that you can purchase to use as a design for your original character, display pictures, artwork collection, etc. It is sometimes called an “adoptable” character piece.
