Synth's Commissions
Welcome to my Carrd website! I go by Synthia online or alternatively Aeris. I'm a hobbyist artist specializing in mostly dragons but I like to draw a variety of things.
You can find me on all the websites linked at the bottom of the page.
Pricing for commissions can be found here! If you'd like to commission me, please fill out a Google Form.
If you have any questions, you may send me a DM on one of my social medias or reach out to me via email [email protected]
Commission Status: CLOSED
Terms of Service
General Terms
-> By commissioning me, you have read and fully agreed to my Terms of Service.-> I have the right to reject any commission requests for any reason. The most common reasons is I don't feel comfortable or confident enough to draw what you have in mind, you've requested me to draw something that I refuse to draw, or simply the subject doesn't interest me.-> I only draw in my own style. I will not replicate art styles of other artists or medias/franchises.-> Prices are subject to change and can vary depending on the complexity of your commission.-> As an artist, I am always experimenting and trying different techniques, so the finished artwork may look slightly different from the examples I offer. By commissioning me, you agree that I will have artistic liberties with my art process.-> I work full-time. Commissions will be worked on when I have the time. Turnaround times range from less than a week to a few months.-> I do my best to work on commissions in the order I receive them. However, smaller commissions (ex: headshots) may be finished first over larger commissions (fullbodies, full scenes), even if they are not first in queue. Commission progress can be monitored on my Trello page.-> Commissions that are gift/surprise artwork for other people must be discussed in further detail.-> I do not work on commissions for deadlines.-> Failure to adhere to my TOS may result in the client being blacklisted from commissioning me.

Payment
-> Payment must be made in full upfront.-> Payment will be requested once I am ready to start the commission. After a commission has been discussed, the client will be put on a waitlist until I'm ready to accept payment from them. This waitlist may be viewed on my Trello queue.-> The client will have 72 hours to pay the invoice once it's sent. If not paid within that timeframe, the commission slot will be forfeited.-> At the moment, I only do payment via PayPal invoices or through Kofi.-> Payment is in USD only.-> I currently do not offer payment plans.-> Do NOT send me money until I give you permission!
Commission Process
-> Once I receive payment I will begin the sketch phase. You will be given a WIP of the sketch once it is complete.
> You may ask for revisions of the during the sketch phase. Minor changes are free, but total pose revisions will require an upcharge. I will not make any more revisions to the pose beyond the sketch phase.-> Another WIP will be sent to the client after the flat colors are laid out.-> Commissions with a background may have multiple WIPs sent to the client for changes/updates/approval.-> I require thorough communication when responding/approving a WIP stage. Simple responses such as "looks great!" or "ooh!" is not a sufficient response. Please respond with an explicit "yes you may proceed" or similar so that I know if I can move onto the next stage or I need to fix something.-> The client is allowed to make draw-over edits on WIPs to better show me any changes they'd like fixed when a WIP is shown.-> In the case the client does not respond/approve a WIP stage of the commission, the commission will come to a standstill until the client responds.-> Upon completion of the commission, the final product will be sent to the client for approval. Once the client approves of the final piece, they will receive a full resolution image of the completed product.-> The client is responsible for saving/downloading the file should it get deleted for whatever reason.
Refunds & Cancellations
-> A full refund will be give if I'm unable to start the commission.-> The client will receive a partial refund if I'm unable to complete a commission based on how much work has been completed.-> If the client cancels the commission, a partial refund will be given based on how much work has been completed.-> For unfinished commissions, I reserve the right to reuse it for other reasons such as personal art.-> I have the right to decline a commission at any stage for any reason including...
> being rude to me
> constantly pestering/asking updates about it
> poor communication-> Refunds will not be given once the commission is completed and sent to the client.-> Chargebacks are not allowed! Do not file a chargeback for refunds, I will send the money over myself. Likewise filing a chargeback on a completed commission piece is not allowed and will result in the client being blacklisted from future commissions.
Copyright & Use of my Art
-> I reserve all rights to the artwork. This includes uploading it to my social medias and using it in advertising.-> The client may request for the commission to be private and/or remain anonymous.-> The client may not remove my watermark from the commissioned artwork.-> The client may not use the commissioned artwork for commercial purposes, this includes selling it or making merchandise of it.-> The client may not claim the commissioned artwork as their own, only the characters.-> My artwork may not be used for NFTs, cryptocurrency, blockchain technologies, or a means to train AI art generators.-> The client may upload the commissioned artwork to Toyhouse, UnVale, CharacterHub, etc or any character storage website using proper credit.-> Please get my permission first if you'd like to upload the commissioned artwork to another website or social media. I ask that the reupload contains a link back to the original artwork.-> The client is allowed to use the commissioned artwork as an avatar/profile picture and/or banner on other social media sites.
