Thank you for your interest in commissioning me! The following are my terms of service!
- Full payment is required for small commissions before I begin. Commissions that are over 100 dollars are eligible for a payment plan across up to 30 days max per invoice BUT we can work out doing multiple invoices if you need longer than that between payments.
- I accept paypal, venmo, zelle, cashapp, kofi, and square. I also do commissions in exchange for purchasing something off my Throne Wishlist for me. Please inquire if looking to purchase with these for rates of barter. Also, if money is not tight, I am open for art trades with fellow artists. Feel free to ask. I play Art Fight every year too, so add ovaettr on there if you want to do art trades during July.
- I reserve the right to cancel your commission at any time. I will refund 100% regardless of progress made if I am the one doing the canceling.
- If you cancel your commission you will only receive 70% refund if it has not been started yet. 30% is nonrefundable due to consultation time. For commissions already started, I will refund the rest according to the progress made in accordance w/ my rates. Thank you for understanding.
- Completed artwork is not available for refunds whatsoever.
- Reposting the commission is within your rights as long as credit is received for the work. I appreciate the sharing a ton! Just please link back to me with the following credit choices: @ovaettr.gay on bluesky, @ovaettr everywhere else or ovaettr.gay ... Thanks!
- I will ask for permission to resell something commissioned by you on my InPrnt if applicable. I will supply you with a copy for free if allowed to resell. Otherwise, it is only used as a portfolio piece and not resold.
- I reserve the right to take as long as I need to on the commission in case of emergencies. My turnaround is typically within a day to a week or two depending on the project's scope. Some projects take months, and will be noted as such in timeline expectations. I will let you know the amount of time it will take me to complete it and keep you updated on each step of the progress. If anything comes up you will know first or please check my bluesky for any sudden life announcements.
- I reserve the right to refuse any commission under any circumstances for any reason whatsoever.
- Edits and all major changes to a commission must be made during the SKETCH PHASE feedback cycle. Major changes requested after inks are already done will be met with a minor Editing Fee dependent on what needs to be changed. Thank you for understanding.
- Completed artwork that has received final approval is not available for changes after the service has been rendered done.
- Please do not deface or trace the material commissioned to pass off as your own original work. I will blacklist you if this is done.
- Lining a sketch, colouring an adoptable base, ink or b+w sketch commission is totally ok as long as you link back to the original or @ credit me (@ovaettr.gay on bluesky or @ovaettr on insta or ovaettr.gay) in your post.
- Please do not sell/resell something you finished from something I drew for you, it is only for fun/educational purposes.
- Cropping and editing the image is up to you, for icons, banners, layouts, etc. as long as the art itself is not drastically defaced.

What I Won't Draw
- Anything illegal or morally corrupt, minus marijuana paraphernalia. The obvious stuff. If you request something I deem too risky or explicitly awful to me, I hold the right to refuse drawing it as previously stated.
- Babyfur or diaper kink stuff. Please do not request this, it is not something I can handle & it personally disgusts me.
- Anti-LGBTQIA+, racist, conservative or right wing political stuff. You're not welcome here. This is a leftist, queer, and communistic space. I am a leftist and queer artist!
- Hyperrealism. I have varied styles but this is not one of them. I still have a stylized approach to my life drawing no matter how true to life it is. I can recommend you to hyperrealism artists if needed.
- I explicitly REFUSE to give permission for art commissioned from me to be turned into NFTs via minting.
- I REFUSE to service anyone involved with crypto or NFTs, that is not the purpose of my art.
- I REFUSE to be involved in harming the environment. I do not support NFTs or crypto.
- If the artwork I provide for you is ever minted as an NFT, I will respond with the proper legal action and demand monetary compensation immediately.
- - I explicitly REFUSE to give permission for art commissioned from me to be used as data for training A.I. / artificial intelligence systems.
- I am an artist who stands against the looming threat of being replaced by plagiarism machines AKA generative A.I. and it's abusive, exploitative, and unethical training set data gathering tactics.
- If my art is found to be used in data sets for generative A.I. training I did not consent to this usage of my artwork at any point in time and continue to refuse to be complacent in capitalist greed and abusive tech standards.
Stance on Genocide as an Anti-War Artist Against Apartheid.
- I absolutely REFUSE to do any work or break bread with anyone who is in support of Isreal - an apartheid state led by a fascist - and their ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank and Jenin and everywhere else.
- No artwork I ever create should be used for the purpose of supporting or funding zionism & the apartheid state of Isreal. Any work you see of mine being used for this purpose is in the wrong and not associated with me or my work.
Thank you so much for understanding these terms of service! I appreciate the time taken to read this and look forward to working with you.
