˚ ♡ General Terms ♡ ˚
♡ Completed forms are considered first. COMMISSION ME HERE: https://forms.gle/riigLWre4qBeZJUs8♡ Please give a reference, whether images or detailed descriptions.♡ I will only draw within my own style/s. I understand my style/s will not work for every drawing but I will do my best to satisfy the client's needs. Please do not ask me to draw in another artist's style. When you commission me, you agree to accepting artwork within my current style.♡ Any major changes should be asked about during the sketch phase.♡ Base prices are listed for non-commercial use.♡ Do not reproduce or redistribute my work (reselling) without my permission. This includes using my commissioned work for NFTs.♡ Do not trace, erase, copy, edit, or modify my commissions without permission.♡ Any art made by Bulbacloud may NOT be used for AI (artificial intelligence) art training purposes.
Commissions will be streamed unless the client requests otherwise.♡ All artwork created by me is owned by me. I may do whatever I wish with the art e.g. post to other sites, put in portfolio etc. The character and whoever the commission was for will always be credited.♡ The final product will be delivered as a PNG, JPG, or a compressed ZIP via email. No physical copy of the completed artwork will be processed. The commission is only receiving a digital file.
♡ Basic Payment Terms ♡
♡ If your commission is accepted you will be contacted via email where we will confirm information, your PayPal email, and a invoice will be sent..♡ PayPal Only (USD). Half of the payment must be sent before I start working.You have three days from when the invoice is sent to pay. DO NOT pay me before I have accepted your commission. Your payment will be refunded and your commission will be declined. .♡ First come, first served. If my commission queue is long and/or your commission is more detailed, your commission will take longer to be completed. I generally finish smaller commissions (e.g. sketches, chibis, emotes, logos) before bigger, more complex commissions (e.g. full bodies, portraits, thigh ups, character illustrations, character sheets, character design, model art etc). Please keep this in mind when asking for WIPs or updates.♡ Commercial/Rush Fee commissions usually have time constraints, As a result, they will be given higher priority. I do not set ETAs (estimated time-of-arrival(s)) unless you pay a rush fee of 30%.♡ Major revisions such as entire outfits, poses, full backgrounds, etc., will require a hourly fee of 20 USD. Minor revisions such as small colouring mistakes, missing accessories, minor background elements, etc., will be fixed free of charge.♡ Full refunds can ONLY be given during the sketch phase. Afterwards 50% refunds will be accepted. I require to be paid for my work including sketches, research etc which is why I don't do full refunds after the sketch is confirmed . Please understand this before commissioning.
♡ Character Terms ♡
♡ You are limited to 2 commission slots at a single time. 2 characters max within a single illustration. Each character = Full price x 2. For characters not included in the same illustration, please submit a separate form entry. For emotes, describe how many you want in the description (6 max. per order).♡ The commissioner is allowed four completed WIPs maximum after the initial payment. If the commissioner is not satisfied after exhausting all possible options, the commission will be cancelled without the initial 50% down payment.♡ Extra fees will be charged depending on the complexity of the character, animation, mascots, objects, and environments. These include very long hair, lots of frills, tails, ears, accessories, props not related to the original commission, complex backgrounds, etc. These are decided on a case-by-case basis. Things that this does NOT include, and you won't be charged for, include having plus size characters, dark skin characters, characters in wheelchairs or with other aids. I will provide a quote with all additional fees included before asking for payment. Please consider these fees as a possibility if your commission meets the requirements listed above.

I typically answer questions to the form within the next 48 hours, if not within the next 3-4 days. I decide whether or not to accept your commission based on your form entry. Once I confirm all of your information (additional fees, correct email, payment email, links to references, project details, etc) I will send an invoice for 50% of the commission. Which, after that is paid, I will start your commission.Depending on the amount of commissions and factors such as my health, disabilities, family, living conditions, university work, and/or the complexity of your commission, it will take time. Commission turnaround can be seen here https://bulbaportfolio.carrd.co/ but depending on these aforementioned circumstances it can take several months. If my commission queue is full, expect to wait longer for your commission to be completed. I will ALWAYS inform you in any care of an emergency of some life even that may delay your commission being finished.I notify commissioners of when I start their commission and move their slot in the queue to the "sketching phase". WIPs ARE ONLY GIVEN IF REQUESTED/USED FOR INITIAL CHECK-UPS. These check ups include sending WIPs to verify the stages of completion for commission. WIPs are always watermarked and the commissioner has no rights to any WIPs given during the process of the commission or in any cases of cancellations.Your commission will be sent as a watermarked PNG or ZIP file to your email.Feel free to reach out to me for any questions regarding your commission and its time frame ♡૮˶• ﻌ •˶ა

♡ Commercial Commissions ♡
♡Commercial usage is when the commissioner is generating ANY type of profit from the completed artwork. The commissioner is buying the rights to use the artwork for their product.♡The commissioner MUST include what the artwork will be used for and any specifications for the project (e.g. height/width requirements, type of project, is a PSD required?, should the commission be in CMYK or RBG?, frame rate, etc).♡The commissioner can NOT claim ownership of the artwork itself, even will full commercial rights.♡Commercial usage includes: streaming assets (Twitch emotes, banners, etc (2x pricing)), game assets (title screens, CGs, character portraits, etc.(3x pricing)), promotional work, designers for merchandise (stickers, charms, prints, LIVE2D, or anything in which the artwork will be the majority of the presentation (3x pricing)).♡If the commissioner is planning on making merch from my concept designs, they would need to purchase 3x the commercial fee. For digital-only goods, the 2x commercial fee is used. If the commission is a mix of digital AND physical merchandise, the 3x will be used in all cases.♡For agencies, businesses, or any product involved in a brand (e.g. Streamer content, Vtubers), the 3x commercial rights fee will be used.
Commissioners can come back and purchase the rights for digital goods or merch if they wish to do so. Please contact the artist at [email protected] to discuss further details.♡The commissioner DOES NOT have the right to use the artwork in any blockchain technology including NFTs, cryptocurrency, AI-generation, and any future inventions within those spaces. Failure to abide by this will result in being blacklisted immediately.can take several months.
♡ Private Commissions ♡
♡ Private commissions are when the artworks will not be posted on any social media accounts except for the artist's online portfolio.♡These will be marked as anonymous, but the** commission** type will be public on the queue.♡The commissioner must confirm their commission as being private within the order form. You do not have to explain why, but you must clarify.♡ If the commissioner chooses to share their commission publicly, I, the artist, have the right to do the same.♡ The commissioner can 'un-private' their commission by telling the artist, but they can NOT return the private status. Once the artwork is posted publicly, its public.♡Private commissions do not have the option of being made into speed paints. All speed paints are chosen from public commissions only.♡If the commissioner does not want anything posted online, they must let the artist know so accommodations can be made.
This may include extra fees.
♡ Speed Paints (Timelapse Videos) ♡
♡ Every commission is recorded via my software's auto record feature (Clip Studio Paint and Procreate), however only public commissions may be posted.♡The commissioner is NOT being provided with any videos to download.♡The commissioner WILL NOT be charged is a speed paint of their commission is created.♡These videos exist to showcase the progress of the artwork for advertising purposes.
♡ Pricing Information ♡
♡ There are three price tiers. These include personal usage, commercial usage (2x), and (3x).♡ The initial price is for personal use ONLY ( meaning that the completed commission will not generate any profit). Personal use is recommended for profile pictures, gifts for friends/family, personal illustrations for OCs, etc. The recipient can not use the artwork for commercial and promotional purposes!♡ 2x pricing is for when the artwork is not the bulk of the product. This includes account banners, streaming assets (schedule, loading screen, social media etc), game assets (title screens, CGs, sprites, character design, etc.), promotional material (promo art, visual key for any commercial project), cover art (digital music albums, light models, CD covers etc). These can be used on monetized platforms. Used for digital goods mainly.♡ 3x pricing is for when the artwork IS the bulk of the product. This tier is for when the artwork of concept design will be made to be sold e.g. merchandise. For instance, fully illustrated covers, body pillows, T-shirts, postcards, stickers, charms, printed media, Live2D, etc. Used for both digital and physical merchandise.♡ These tiers are base princes. If the commission meets any of the requirements for extra fees that will increase the total payment.♡ All extra fees are paid for upfront. A detailed invoice will be sent to the commissioner listing all the fees for their commission when they first make their payment.♡ All additional extra fees not listed in the TOS will be discussed between the artist and the commissioner before any invoices are sent.♡ All prices are final. No payments will be accepted afterwards UNLESS it is to obtain commercial rights OR fix any pricing errors.
♡ Refunds/Chargebacks ♡
♡ Partial refunds are available up until the "Rendering Phase" on the queue. In the sketch phase a refund of 80% of the first half payment (the first payment will be 50% of the whole commission) is available. In the lineart phase this drops to 60% until rendering phase where no refund is available as the commission is near-finalized.♡ If a chargeback is filed after the commission has been fully completed and sent, the commissioner's right to everything the artist has EVER made for them will be retracted. The commissioner will be blacklisted, unable to commission the artist again. A warning will also be released to other potential artists.♡ If need be, I, the artist has every right to file a complaint or report to receive compensation for my work.
