✨ terms of service | 2021 ✨
When buying anything from SolarGem/KariChibi including custom art, YCHs, adopts, and more, you are automatically agreeing to the terms of service put in place by them. Please make sure to read everything thoroughly so you know exactly what you’re agreeing to.
Thank you.
Thank you.
General
✩ Commissioners must be aged 18+, especially when ordering NSFW artwork.
✩ When ordering please make sure you have the correct amount funds needed before actually placing your order. Do not order from me if you are not in a good financial situation to do so.
✩ When ordering, please make sure to respond within 2 weeks. If I still get no reply after that timeframe your commission may be cancelled and slot given to someone else or YCH resold.
✩ I usually update my buyers with WIPs automatically when I get to certain parts (sketch, lines, colours, shading, etc). If I haven't updated you yet, it's probably because I'm either busy or haven't gotten to a part I feel is update worthy. You can ask for an update if it has been a while but please do not ask me constantly for WIPs and updates every hour though as this will just slow the process even more.
✩ I work on things in my own time. Like you, I have a life and things may come up every now and then so please try not to rush me too much. I will rarely take longer than a month to get something finished unless it's something like a comic with multiple pages, animations or craft pieces and even then I will always try to give WIPs and updates.
✩ Failing to follow any of my TOS may result in you being put on my private blacklist if done multiple times, so please try to be respectful and follow them where you can.
Requesting a commission or placing a bid
✩ If you would like to request a commission from me I first ask you to look over the TOS here and my prices so you know exactly what you want when you order and if I am open at the time. You can request commissions via note on either deviantArt or FurAffinity and also via email all linked at the top of my TOS.
✩ Please make sure to look over the things I will and won't do before commissioning me. I always have them written in my commission info. If something isn't listed there, feel free to ask me about it too. Like most artists, I have a list of things that I will and won't draw. If something makes me uncomfortable I may refuse to do it, I'm sorry in advance.
Payment
✩ Payment must be made only from the buyer. Payments made from multiple different accounts will not be accepted.
✩ Payments must be made in GBP through paypal unless stated otherwise. I will not accept trades or echecks.
✩ Please do not send payment without my confirmation. I only accept invoices so please be willing to provide your paypal email when ordering so I can send you an invoice.
✩ Payment must be paid in full within 48 hours of requesting a commission or winning a YCH. If you need more time, just let me know and I'll be more than happy to wait a little longer.
✩ Commissions or YCHs costing £150 or over are eligible for payment plans if needed. Just ask me and we can sort something out
✩ Payment must always be received before I start work on your YCH or commission is started. I will never start work on a piece before it's fully paid for.
Character details
✩ Please provide a visual reference of the character(s) you would like me to do for your commissions or YCHs and any additional information you think would help.. Back view isn't always necessary but helps a lot if the pose requires me to draw it.
✩ Please mention if you would like them drawn in a specific form (anthro, feral, human). If you are wanting them to be wearing specific outfits, have a specific background, facial expression, pose, etc, please be sure to mention this when ordering too. The more detailed the easier it is for me to get things the way you want them.
✩ I will not accept written descriptions of a character. Only visual reference sheets and drawings.
✩ Please keep in mind that wings and detailed characters may cost a little bit extra (excluding smaller pixel works) as they take more time to get done.
Time taken
✩ I will always try to get commissions and YCHs completed in a decent amount of time. I will rarely take longer than a month to get your owed work done unless it is a big project like a comic with multiple pages or large animation.
✩ If you feel that I am taking too long on your commission or YCH, then you are free to ask me about it. Please refrain from rushing me though :’D
✩ If you need something done by a specific date then that is fine also. Just be sure to let me know and I'll try my best to get it done by that date for you.
Works in progress
✩ I will always provide WIPs automatically to all of my buyers at certain stages of progress (sketch, lines, flats, shading)
✩ Be sure to let me know if there are any mistakes you need fixing or anything you want adding when I show you the WIPs. I will not fix anything major once the piece is complete unless it's something simple and easy to do, so no changing the character once the piece is finished please. I will also not make changes months after a piece has been finished.
Price
✩ My prices are based on how long they take me to complete, what equipment is used and how popular they are.
✩ I ask that you please do not complain about my prices or ask me to lower them. If you want something cheaper, I may sometimes offer packs, discounts or have cheap YCHs. On rare occasions I also offer raffles. Just keep an eye out and eventually I'm sure you'll find something.
Artwork usage
✩ You are allowed to use the work you commission from me however you want.
✩ If selling the character the work depicts, I also allow the artwork I drew of them to be sold with them.
✩ I may use your commission as an example for commissions of that type later on.
✩ I will never sell prints or goods with the artwork commissioned by other people.
✩ Commissioners must be aged 18+, especially when ordering NSFW artwork.

If something is not mentioned here, feel free to ask me about it! Please try not to go against these things if you can help it too. I'll always be nice and give regular updates so the least I ask is for you to be decent and patient. Thank you in advance ^w^
