hiiieee! I go by peep (she/her) in these circles, and I'm trying to get back into art that isn't 10px tall... my gallery will look a bit bare at first, so excuse the dust! I'm filling it with all new artwork ONLY, so it'll take some time to build up.If any of you are familiar with my name, you may also recognize me as the owner of the dream Snowside Peak on Furcadia. I've been working on revamping things since I left before the Second Dreaming, so there's a lot to catch up on that my schedule doesn't allow for LOL

about

Not great at this, so I hope it's at least somewhat informative LOL-
What do I do?
I work professionally as a graphic designer & digital marketing specialist, strongly influenced by my childhood on Furcadia. My work is generally pretty demanding of my time, so I try to do what I can with the time I have. I lost my job unexpectedly, so I have a little more time online but am trying really hard to remain productive.. so my time is still a bit all over!
What do I do with the time I have? Games (FFXIV, Path of Titans, or whatever the flavour of the week is), pixels, passion projects (SSP I'm looking at you), side jobs and projects.. you name it LOL. I'm trying to be as productive as I can, but if you haven't gotten the impression yet, I work pretty long hours! This also means that any commissions I do take will either be really fast when the inspiration hits me, or very slow when I'm juggling priorities around.-
What am I like?
It may not seem like it, but I'm a very socially anxious person (I've never had any mental health diagnosis or therapy), so it can sometimes be hard for me to respond to messages or be put in certain social situations. I try to be as empathetic and inclusive as I can, and it definitely goes a long way if you can do the same towards me!
Otherwise, I'm pretty easygoing—I've been called very 'free-spirited' and lose track of time/primary functions incredibly easy.. so sometimes it takes a lot out of me to get to a project I've been holding onto for a while, and other times I work on it for 18 hours straight without getting up to pee. It's all very sporadic LOL-
Maybe one day I'll get around to filling this out more •ﻌ•

terms of service

Updated January, 2024
These terms are subject to change at any time. At the time of change, only current customers will be notified.
Terminology
terms: terms of service provided here on this page
I, myself: refers to the artist (Peep) which of whom will be completing the artwork.
customer, you/your: refers to the individual paying for the artwork request.
character: primary subject of the artwork being created.
payment: monetary funds owed in return of (my) creative services.
commission, request: request for creative services, may also refer to the digital artwork being created.
artwork, asset(s): refers to the digital or traditional artwork created by myself


i. general

● Please read these terms carefully before making a request. Refusal to read these terms does not negate them. :)
● I reserve the right to decline, deny, or cancel any commission for any reason, and have no obligation to disclose what that reason is.
● Any change to information I have provided to you (timeline, policy, or other) will be communicated to you as soon as possible.
● Follow all instructions on the commission form; this includes a flat character reference and any preferred pose or style.
● There is no guarantee that your commission will be done at a certain time unless otherwise specified.
● It's advised that, if your request must be completed within a certain time frame, you give notice of at least 30 days; anything less I cannot guarantee your request deadline.

ii. Process

● I will provide you with 1 (or more) sketch(es) for your approval before proceeding. AFTER a sketch is approved, major edits to the piece will incur additional fees.
◦ Changes requested before the approval of a sketch do not incur fees, unless these changes are a direct result of providing incorrect character description or reference.
● Work in progress (WIP) shots will only be given when asked, if the price exceeds $59 per asset (excluding any rush or additional fees, but DOES include tip), or if I have a question about the request.
● Consecutive delays that span more than 60 days after approving the sketch will be communicated with you.
● First round of minor edits (especially those I made by error) are free with the exception of vague character descriptions—if I struggle to understand the character and make errors, it's on you to clarify. Make sure you're providing clear instructions!
● Commission is considered closed once the artwork has been approved and "final" or "completed" assets are shared with you.
● Changes after assets are shared may result in additional fees.

iii. payment & refund policy

● I only accept Paypal transactions in USD unless otherwise stated.
● Requests must be paid in full within 3 business days once the invoice has been sent. Failure to do so will result in cancellation unless discussed previously.
● Refunds will not be issued on completed requests.
● Refunds become eligible if: your request has not been started within 90 days after the invoice has been paid, OR has last been worked on 90 or more days ago (if in a workable state, meaning all my messages have received appropriate responses and I'm not waiting on you to continue work).
● Tips are non-refundable by default; however I reserve the right to make that decision myself per each case.
● Once a request has been started, a minimum of 25% payment for that request becomes non-refundable; this amount (%) increases equal to progress made. The non-refundable amount beyond the minimum 25% is decided by me as the artist. If you have requested more than one piece be made within one invoice, this amount will be calculated for each individual piece and not for the full amount owed.
● If you are non-responsive for 7 days or more (with regards to the request), unless otherwise specified or discussed, I reserve the right to hold payment indefinitely or cancel the request.

iv. copyright & usage policy

The following is considered copyright infringement: reproducing/using the assets for commercial use/intent, taking any credit for the artwork itself, removing my watermark or signature, altering the artwork in any way without my consent.--I, as the artist, retain all rights to the assets produced. This allows me rights to promote myself on/in any platform or medium, publish in printed or digital spaces, display, and act on malicious intent.You, as the customer, may claim ownership/rights to the character/subject within the artwork.These assets are released to you for personal use only, unless otherwise agreed upon.This allows you to use as intended (example: Furcadia portrait may be uploaded to a portrait space, forum avatar or pagedoll may be uploaded to a third party website, etc), as well as print or post on social media/web platforms with my handle and carrd (https://peepfolio.carrd.co) accredited where possible.--Resale
If the artwork is resold with it's related character account/name or design as a whole, unless for significant gain,* is still considered personal use.
Reselling the artwork by itself is NOT considered personal use, and infringes upon these terms—my artwork should never be resold without the character depicted/bound to.

* Selling for significant gain refers to the sale of the artwork, with the character account/name or design as a whole, at a higher contributing value than the request was completed for.

v. risk management

If you file a Paypal chargeback against me:
× Any rights or permissions you (or the intended owner) have to artwork completed towards your request are retracted, as the use or artwork has no longer been paid for;
× I retain rights over all assets, which may be altered and resold;
× You will not be permitted to make any request again, and;
× I reserve the right to publish your name(s) in public spaces.
Additionally, if you, or any part of your request has broken copyright or creative laws, or is against the law in any way, the above action will be taken. This includes, but is not limited to:
× creating a request on behalf of someone who has been blacklisted from my services;
× do not own the rights to the character/subject;
× theft of property, impersonation/identity theft, or any other unlawful act.


Thanks for your consideration & time •ﻌ•

It's important as artists that we are able to protect ourselves from those with malicious intent—or even just those who aren't familiar with this process.I'm pretty amicable to questions/requests, and understand you are also a fellow human bean with a busy life.. so most of this page is just to protect me from people intending to loophole themselves into trouble. It reads pretty serious, and is meant to.. just talk to me about your situation and I'm sure we can figure something out! Happy to accommodate and make something work :>That said, if you have any questions or comments regarding anything on this page, please reach out to me as 'Peep' on Furcadia (by typing /%%peep [message] in your chat bar; note you don't need the [] around your message), or on Discord as parkay (private DMs are blocked unless you're on certain mutual servers).
