Live2D Artwork - Terms of Service
Payment & Commissioning Terms
- The Client will not receive artwork or working files until full payment has been made.
- If the client must cancel part way through the commission I (the artist) will be compensated for any time spent on the piece, and the rest of the quoted amount will be refunded.
- Once I have begun on your piece there will be a non-refundable deposit at a minimum of $25 and an additional $10-25 for every hour spent working on the piece.
Vtuber Artwork Rules, Sales, & Ownership Rights
- Only the commissioner, or those involved may use the final model (Private Model) unless agreed upon otherwise (Public Model)
- The commissioner or others will not take credit for the artwork or entire final piece.
- Artwork I create for your model can be edited by anyone you want to give the files to.
I provide the unmerged .PSD and .CSP working files by default for ease of use with other artists or clients who are artistically inclined.
- Updates or changes to your model done by yourself or others are more than welcome! You do not need to ask for permission to edit my artwork if you are updating the character or adding/changing features.
- You may not create new character models using artwork or assets I have made for your specific character model unless discussed otherwise. Using parts from my artwork of your character to paste into a new model are permitted as long as the character is the same character.
- You may not sell parts from your model.
- You must contact me before using my artwork for prints or merchandise. (T-shirts, badges, stickers, etc.) Primarily for quality reasons and possilbly for licensing fees for product sales using my artwork.
- Monetized streaming is permitted!
- Selling your Vtuber model is allowed with limitations:
- Only if you are selling the model with all rights to the character to a new owner.
- The price is not increased unless additional artwork or rigging/costs are being added to selling the character & usage rights.
- You may not sell duplicates of the model or sell the file to more than one user.
Public Models
If you would like to commission assets for a model that you would like to sell or offer to others for free please let me know beforehand!
Example: You commission artwork from me for a model that you want to:
- Sell the model on Etsy or Gumroad to multiple users at a limited or unlimited quantity
- Distribute a finished model publicly for free use
This option is only available for those who will rig the file themselves.
You may not commission artwork from me, move on to commission rigging/file setup from another artist and then sell the model.
I do not currently offer rigging, only art.
If you know the artist you would like to rig and animate your model, please let me know their name so I can possibly collaborate with them on making parts of your model built in a way that suits their preferred rigging methods! There's a million ways to do one thing!
