I. PAYMENT1.1 Payment time
1.1.1 Payment is upfront. I can only begin working on your request after full amount of money was sent.
1.1.2 Payment for a commission must be made within 3 days (72 hours) after we've finished discussing all the details. If payment wasn't sent within this time period, your request will be cancelled. Please respect others' time and only ask for paid work if you're able to pay for it. You can message me later when you have enough money, and I'll tell you if I'm open for commissions!1.1.3 Payment for a YCH must be made within the period of time set in the description of that auction. It is usually 1 to 7 days. Please check the information under the desired YCH auction. If payment wasn't sent within this time period, your bid will be revoked, and the auction will be rerun.
1.1.4 Payment for an adoptable: same as for YCHs (read item 1.2.3).1.2 Payment method
1.2.1 Currently the only accepted payment method is Boosty. Using it is as simple as an online purchase since you can use PayPal to pay for a commission there.
1.2.2 Starting from 11/06/2023, it is required for your payment amount to be added by additional 12% to cover Boosty Agency Fee (1) and the commission from the Creator Fee (2) (10% and 1.7% accordingly, rounded up to 12%) Boosty's taking from its Authors. This means whatever you're paying for, you'll have to pay 12% more. For example, if your commission is $150, you'll have to send a payment of $168. Hoping for your understanding!A short guide is present on the following page:
▶▶▶ HOW TO SEND PAYMENT TO BOOSTY ◀◀◀1.3 Payment refunds
Due to what platform I use to accept payment, no refunds can be made at the time. Please keep that in mind before commissioning me.1.4 Problems with payment
If you have trouble paying, here are some common solutions you might need to try:
>> Separate your payment into smaller parts: try sending 50% of the needed amount and if you succeed, send the other 50%. Try not to send payments over $99 at a time.
>> When sending payment by parts, have a few minute pauses among them.
>> Use VPN: this might help in some cases!
>> Ask someone to pay with their PayPal if yours won't work no matter what.
>> Give it some time: Boosty might be having some issues at the moment you get an error, and trying to pay later may be a solution. Just let me know if you are having issues with payment and that you're gonna try again later!
>> Consider using your desktop device instead of a phone as well as different Internet browsers.

Terms of Service

I have the right to publish any of my finished art as well as WiP screenshots and speedpaint videos of it online. However, if you really don't want me to post a commission done for you, please tell me upfront.I have the right to delete any of my finished art as well as WiP screenshots and speedpaint videos of it from any of my platforms, provided that the buyer of art, be it a commission or a YCH, has received the finished piece in original quality and confirmed it was saved (downloaded) by the buyer to an offline storage.You must always credit me if you're reuploading my art (for example, to show it on your profile). The best option is to link my carrd.co profile: hophwind.carrd.co or simply use my username: hophwind.Each piece I make is for personal use only. You are allowed to crop a commission done FOR YOU if you wanna set it as your pfp somewhere.You are NOT allowed to photoshop (any editing included, like cropping or changing colors) and post my art edited by you, trace or steal it (credit yourself as the artist).

Details

Here are some details I'd wanna mention.

Deadlines. The default deadline is based on commission's type and complexity (read here for more details). You'll be notified if for some reason I have to delay the delivery of your commission.


Pricing. While colored linearts can have no price change at all, scene commissions get more expensive with difficult requests.
The price is under my subjective evaluation since I'm the one to work on others' ideas.You won't be charged extra in the process until you want to get an extra version of the commission that has drawn by hand additions (versions with background on/off, alt color tones, alt cropping and anything I won't have to draw is free).Paid additions include: alt clothes for a character, a whole different background, alt shadings, alt items the character interacts with, etc. Adding some simple things like birds in the sky or sunglasses on a character's face is free until there are too many "simple things". :)Simple maths on characters number.
- Lineart commissions: 1 character is the basic price, 2 characters is multiplying the basic price by 2, three is multiplying it by 3 and so on.
- Scene commissions, however, have a starting price of both character and background together, so any extra character adds +$50 to the basic price (for example $100 + $50 + $50 = $200 for a simple background scene commission with three characters).

Edits. Modifying finished art is not easy so there's info about what I can edit for free and on which stages, for every type of commission. If you get to ask for paid edits, they will be a few dollars only, maybe just a couple. I always try making the sketch perfect so there are no further modifications needed. Don't be afraid to tell me to edit something if needed, tho.


Image properties and sent files. The files you'll get along the process. These are...
• For colored linearts: sketch PNG + colored lineart PNG (just sometimes) + shaded colored lineart PNG (the final result) + slightly compressed JPEG file of the final result (if needed, used to bypass upload size on some websites).
• For scene commissions: sketch PNG/JPEG (depending on file size: PNG 1-15 MB, JPEG 15 MB+) + an interim version PNG/JPEG + final result (with background and shadings) PNG + JPEG.Default DPI for any type of commission is 350. If you need it higher or lower, please tell me before I start working on your comm.You can as well get your commission as a BMP or TIFF file by request.PSD/CLIP files are never posted anywhere and are not meant to be sent to my clients.

● Portrait / Landscape oriented;
● High, Mid or Low detail background;
● Portrait (i.e. headshot) / Halfbody / Fullbody.For linearts: Portrait / Halfbody colored lineart.Updated on 05/05/2024.

How to request a commission

This is a memo describing what you can do to make our interaction nice and easy going. You don't specifically need to follow all the steps in case you want to leave something up to me (but since I've mentioned them they might be important to me).

1. Contact me:— Send me a friend request and then DM me on Discord: hophwind (preferred!)
— Send me a note on Furaffinity (direct link) (also preferred!)
— DM me on Twitter (link)
— Send me a note on DeviantArt (direct link)
— Send me a message on Boosty (direct link). Don't forget to change the «Who can send me messages» option in Privacy settings to «All users» so that I can respond to your message.


2. Use something obvious for your message subject, like «Commission request» or just «Comm» - that'll be enough!


3. In your message, describe all the details you can as of the moment:— commission type, cropping and number of characters: lineart (portrait, halfbody) or scene (portrait, halfbody). For example, «A landscape scene commission of two characters»; «A lineart portrait of my oc», etc. Learn more about comm types of mine.— your character(s): their reference sheet or a few drawings of them, or if they don't have colored drawings, attach their color palette separately as an image file or as hex color code.— your character's (characters') outfit(s): you can either describe them with words or send me reference images.— your idea: tell me about your idea for the commission, try to describe it as detailed as possible; for example, include time of day (for scene comms), character's(s') emotions/facial expressions, their pose or movements, and don't forget about the clothes! Make sure to describe the background you wanna see if you've decided to request a scene commission. For other commissions, you can just choose the background color I should use.
Reference images are highly appreciated - they'll help both of us get to the point where we see the same image in our minds.

After I get your message, I'll provide you with some extra questions if I have any and then name the price.Please tell me if you're leaving anything to my liking instead of ignoring my questions. :p
