Vellum's Terms of Service

Thank you for considering pledging or purchasing a commission from me!
Please read below to learn about the processes and regulations behind my work

By agreeing to a commission from me or pledging to my patreon account(s), you are agreeing to the following terms of service. Please read thoroughly before agreeing to work with me.

Finally there is a far more comprehensive list of what I am or am not comfortable doing. You can see my most common requests below, but for a full list, please head over here:
https://www.f-list.net/c/vellum artwork
(No, I don't RP, but this is the closest thing I could find to an actual list, just assume this is for what I will draw)

Here are the genre's I excel at, and am more than willing to do
Sex (homosexual or heterosexual)
Pinups
Bondage
Consensual-non-consent (CNC)
Stuck
Sitting/pinning
Suspension (Ropes/leather only, no hooks)
Hypnotism
Breath play
Mild size difference
Musk
Oral sex
Scruffing/biting
Werewolves
Unwilling Vore
Goo/blob Vore
Plant Vore
Paws
Tying
Leather gear <3
Quicksand
Sheathplay
Underwear
Cuddling
Biting
Coiling
Chastity
Cuckolding
Quadrupedal (Feral) Characters**
Age Difference***
(and any mixing of the above genres)

Here are the genre's I will NOT do, and I am uncomfortable drawing*
-Watersports/scat
-Gas/smell/extreme scent play
-Gore
-Cutting/crushing/pain play
-Bestiality**
-Babyfur/Pedophilia/Diaper play***
-Snuff
-Rape****
-Genitalia/Soul/Anal Vore
-Genitalia absorption/fusion/transformation
-Hard Vore/Digestion
-Micro>Macro vore (In short: predators just need to be bigger than prey)
-Hyper (abnormally large/exaggerated appendages)
-Fisting

*I reserve the right to refuse any commission/genre, even if it is not currently listed here
**Vore with non-sentient creatures is fine, but I will NEVER draw real, non-sentient creatures, in sexual situations. I am willing to draw feral characters that pass the Harkness Tests, i.e. are of human or greater intelligence and are fully able to communicate and consent.
***ALL characters MUST be of legal, consenting age.
****Roleplaying and Consensual-non-consent [CNC] is fine, but I will never draw, nor glorify, non-consensual sex)

Finally, here are a few genres I'm certainly willing to do, but I should warn you they are not my forte
-Humans
-Transformation*
-Macro
-Latex/Rubber/Balloons
-Micro Vore
-Anthro Pred Vore (I'm usually better at vore with feral or serpentine predators)
-Same Size Vore

*I can certainly do transformations, like for werewolves, but I'm not really good at making it sexy


Payment Methods/Refund Policy

I charge full price up front on all commissions. The payment is only partially refundable depending on the progress of the commission upon ending the commission.

For example, if you were to cancel a commission that is 20% finished, you would receive an 80% refund. If you were to cancel a commission that is 75% finished, you would receive a 25% refund. The % of progress in the commission is entirely up to my discretion.

I only take transactions through Square, or by cash (Paypal has caused me too many security concerns in the past, and I will not be using it anymore). All personal information gathered from any form of payment is kept strictly confidential, and not shared with any other parties.

I am willing to discuss multiple payments, but the commission's completion will not exceed the amount paid. In general I ask that anything under $500 be made in 1 payment. And anything under $1,500 be paid within one calendar month. We can discuss payment plans for any commission over $1,500.00.


Timeframe

I am currently a full time artist, but I do need to take breaks for my health. This being said, my time frame for commissions is typically much shorter these days.

On average It takes 2-8 weeks for commissions to be completed, depending on the complexity, and medium of the commission.

If you have a deadline you MUST receive the commission by (for example, a con you're attending), discuss this with me upon purchase, and we can arrange something, it will most likely require a rush fee however.

I typically work on multiple commissions at a time, on top of my regular comics and digital paintings. All the while, I will keep you up to date with any work done on your commission

Convention commissions are typically finished during the convention, or shipping is free. I will always have a cut off during the commission, in which if you commission late, I will need to charge extra for shipping. I cannot be expected to finish your commission during a convention when you've commissioned an hour before convention close. The cut-off is entirely at my own discretion.


Revisions

The earlier the better. More can be changed the earlier you ask for the changes. After the coloring phase has begun, changes are much more difficult to make (especially in traditional mediums), unless it's something very small.

Significant changes to the commission late in the game may result in additional fees at my discretion.

I will always do my best to get the commission to exactly where you want it to be. Please understand however that revisioning is a finite resource, and overusing it can lead to poorer results in the commission. Please always tell me if you want something changed, but I would recommend steering away from trying revisions simply for the sake of it.


Shipping

Due to the fact that my artwork is mostly traditional, you may request the original piece of work to be sent to you. This does require an extra shipping fee, as shipping the work safely (to prevent smudging and bending damage) can cost a decent amount.

Should a piece of work be left in my possession for more than 6 months, I reserve the right to sell the original. Feel free to contact me beyond the 6 months to determine whether or not the piece is still in my possession. If so, I would still be willing to send it to you for the same shipping price.

For all shipping fees, I will give you my best estimate of the cost, but the final price won't be determined until I've shipped the item. I will then charge your for that cost. If it is vastly different from what I quoted you, I will halt on shipping until I have contacted you.
Once the item is shipped, it is your responsibility to pay the shipping fee (which I will invoice you for). Failure to do so will result in your blacklisting, and I will not participate in future commissions with you.


Courtesy, and Patience is expected

Almost every commissioner I've had has been excellent to work with, but to cover my bases, I would like to mention that courtesy, and especially patience is expected. Pestering, or being overly demanding or disrespectful will destroy any inspiration behind your drawing, and if the commission were to somehow continue, it would not come out well.

In short, please be courteous, and patient when working with me. If I take longer than the time frames mentioned above, feel free to remind me, or check up on your status, things may have been pushed back for some reason. But please refrain from contacting me on a regular basis about a commission if at all possible, when I've progressed on a commission, I will contact you!

Should this policy be broken, I will have to cancel (kill) the commission. The rate of refund will be the same as above, with a maximum of 75%, even if the commission has not been started. I retain the right to keep a minimum 25% should there be disrespectful or overly demanding behavior to the point of affecting a commission.

Should you ever feel that I am taking too long on a commission, you may always ask for a refund, and per my above policies, we can discuss what that will look like.


Rights

I retain all rights to my artwork, this includes any and all electronic rights and usage. I retain the right to sell, reproduce, show, display, and in general, use the artwork as I see fit. This includes any art that may contain your character due to commission, patronage, or request. I retain the right to sell products of your commission to the public.

Should you wish to purchase the rights so that I may not use your work as stated above, please discuss this with me.

Without purchasing the rights, you can still post the image anywhere you'd like, edit the image as you wish, and use it as you wish. If you would like a different artist to complete, or otherwise modify the commission, please reach out to me before proceeding.
My only requirements for posting online are that wherever you may post it, you MUST:
-Credit me as the artist
-Link back to my account on FA, or Twitter.
You may not however, reproduce the piece for sale. Such usage for a business or for sale must be discussed with me, as legally binding contracts of rights must be made and signed for such usage.

Tagging
When assigning tags to the artwork you are posting, do NOT tag any genres that go against my above policies. This will result in a warning, and may result in black listing.
(For example, tagging a CNC or BDSM piece I've drawn for you as Rape or non-consensual. I do not take on commissions of the sort, and thus tagging it is falsifying the pretense of the art.)

Contact Method
It is STRONGLY preferred that we communicate through Telegram. This allows me to keep very easy track of your references and our discussions. You can message me about commissions on there at [@]thatwolfguy
(Please note that this is not for casual conversation. I'm typically quite busy and repelled by small talk. Try to use this as professionally as possible, thank you.)

This is an ADULT account
I absolutely refuse to work with anyone under 18 under this account. No exceptions. This is an adult oriented, erotic account, and persons under 18 should not even be reading this. By commissioning me, you are agreeing that you are of 18 years of age or older. If it ever comes to my attention that a customer is under the age of 18, your fee will be refunded, the commission will be deleted/destroyed, and you will be blocked and blacklisted.

Final Note
Again, I've had very few instances where I've had to remind commissioners about my TOS, but they are here for a reason. Thank you very much for reading through this, and soon I hope to hear about what I can draw for you!
If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or send me a note. I understand there are some gray areas in sexual content, and I am more than happy to discuss them. If you would like me to explain or clarify ANYTHING, or to ask if I’m comfortable with your particular idea, ask away, I won’t bite your head off for bringing something to the table that you’d like to inquire about, even if it’s on my no list, I’m willing to speak to you about it.

By commissioning me, becoming a patron of mine, or otherwise doing business transactions with me, you are agreeing to these terms of service.
