Custom Commissioned Art Policy Change

Pets

We are stating a new policy for artists who take commissions for customs with lineart changes:


You are required to disclose to the buyer before payment has been decided and work has begun whether you plan on using the buyer's commissioned lineart edits for further commission or resale work.


In other words, if you plan on re-coloring the lineart-edited custom you made for another person and selling it to someone else, your original buyer must be fully aware of this before negotiating the custom and creating it.

It is unfair to buyers to use their paid custom lineart, which is usually a character of theirs, without their knowledge or permission.

This is a great addition/change to the policy. OC done in commissions should not be resold without permission under the pretence of recolouring.

Understood, I figured this was a rhetorical thing, lol. I'd never take lineart that someone paid me for and reuse it just to make a buck. :x

Sorry, you'd have to negotiate that with your commissioned artst.

Excellent idea. ^.^ I'm lucky most people I buy custom designs off tell me first, but I have seen it go wrong elsewhere. :/
