07 About VTuber Commissions

VTuber model commission prices include full commercial usage
The client is allowed to sell the commissioned model not higher than the price that was paid for the model! If you sell your model together with other artworks and assets as a package, please inform me about it
VTuber models that are won in a giveaway can NOT be sold! If you graduate and have no wish to keep the model, you can present it to someone or do a giveaway (proper credits!), but you can not profit from it!
In case of selling/giving away your VTuber model, please inform me before you sell it/give it away and after selling/giving away please notify me about the new owner
Commissioned VTuber models will be part of my portfolio and showcased (social media/Homepage/YouTube/…). However, it is possible to ask me to keep the model off public until after your debut! (NDA fee)

08 About Priority Commissions, Rush-Fees & Deadlines

Artworks

Artwork orders with a deadline of equal or less than 2 weeks will be considered a priority commission

VTuber model packages

VTuber model package orders with a deadline equal or less than 10 weeks will be considered a priority commission

VTuber model rigging

VTuber model rigging orders with a deadline equal or less than 6 weeks will be considered a priority commission

[base price] + [50% of base price] = [base price of priority commission]
If you have a deadline for your commission, please mention this at the time of your request! I won’t accept deadlines that are told to me after I started working on the order
I will not take VTuber package or rigging orders with a deadline less than a month from our first contact

09 About Installments and Work Order

To ensure that I can properly schedule every commission and avoid long waiting times for clients, I categorize commissions by their payment status.

High Priority: Priority commissions/Clients who paid the rush-fee
Normal Priority: Clients who paid 100% or at least 50% of the commission price
Low Priority: Clients who pay in smaller installments

Please understand that the smaller the amount you pay in an installment is, the longer your commission will take!
