HICCY.ART

Commissioning Process & Requirements

Commission openings will be announced via my twitter, discord server, substack emails and telegram channel.To commission me you must be at least 18 years old and are required to fill out a commission form provided on my website https://hiccy.art. (This is not applicable to YCH commissions done via ych.art or buymeacoffee.com.)Said commission form will typically remain open for one week, but may close sooner if there's overwhelming interest. Filling out a commission form is not a guarantee that you will be picked as I do not work on a first-come-first-serve basis.

I will be performing a background check on all clients to avoid being scammed.
Anyone deemed untrustworthy will be rejected.

Commission Contract

By commissioning me (HiccyArt) you (the client) agree to the production of a custom created art piece. The artwork is to contain the agreed upon specific details and will be produced for the agreed upon price you were invoiced for. The following paragraph explains what to expect once you've paid the invoice in full:1. You will always receive a rough sketch first to make sure I understand the general idea. At this stage you can still make major* changes to the piece if desired.2. Once you've approved the sketch you'll receive the next update once I've completed the lineart and colours. At this stage you may only request minor* changes.3. Once lineart and colours have been approved I will shade and finish the art piece. At this stage you may only request minor* changes.*what constitutes as “major” or “minor” changes falls under my judgement, not the client’s. Examples of minor changes can be colour alterations, small additions or fixes in the case of missed details or mistakes made by the artist (HiccyArt). Examples of major changes can be changes to the pose, expression and clothes.

Timeframe

I aim to deliver within 2 months and give whole months as estimates - which can be seen on my queue (https://hiccyqueue.uwu.ai).
Clients will be notified should there be exceptional circumstances in which I find myself not being able to deliver the artwork as quickly as I intended.

Payment Method, Refunds & Cancellations

Payments are typically collected via PayPal invoices, but may also be done through services such as ArtIsTree or Stripe if desired.The account with which you pay must belong to you. I will not accept your parents' or grandparents' paypals nor any other family or friends'.The Payment must be made within 48 hours of receipt unless we agreed a different timeframe beforehand. You will be notified when the invoice has been sent and when payment has been received. I will not start working on your commission until the payment has been provided in full.

Refunds - if desired - must be requested before the client has received a sketch.I reserve the right to cancel someone's commission and refund them at any time.

File Dimensions & quality

The client will be receiving low resolution images of any and all stages right up until the artwork has been finalised. The completed, high-resolution piece(s) will be sent via email.The final dimensions of the artwork on average varies anywhere between 1000px - 4000px unless the client requested specific dimensions.

Ownership rights

Upon receipt of the final artwork(s) the client is authorized to make use of the artwork(s) for any non-commercial display purposes.Ownership of the copyright as well as the right to use the artwork(s) for promotional purposes remains with the artist.I reserve the right to publish all of my artwork, however if the commissioned piece is meant as a surprise gift for someone else I will hold off from posting it until the date provided by the client.My artwork may never be used for generative AI purposes.

Responsiveness

For optimal efficiency it is advised that the client responds to any queries and updates provided by me within a week. Should the client not be able to meet said criteria for any reason the artist is to be notified in advance. Should this criteria not be met the artist reserves the right to cancel the commission after 1 week of unresponsiveness and (if applicable) refund the client partially or in full.In the rare instances that I - the artist - cannot respond to any queries from the client within 3 working days I will be giving said client notice in advance.

Themes, Kinks & Fetishes

While I'm willing to draw a variety of kinks and fetishes, please note that I refuse to draw anything related to rape, torture, murder, abuse, anti-LGBTQ+, racism, necrophilia, beastiality / zoophilia, scat & urine, diaper and underage characters.While I may have been drawn some of these fetishes in the distant past I've since grown increasingly more uncomfortable towards them and refuse to draw them as of July 2021. I'll be giving more detail towards them below while also clarifying what I allow.RapeDue to my own experiences with sexual assault I refuse to draw rape. However I am okay with dubcon (“dubious consent” - e.g. character is feeling pleasure but not admitting it / ashamed to admit it).AbuseI refuse to draw sexual abuse intended to physically or psychologically hurt a character.
The aforementioned does not apply to consensual degrading kinks or playful insults.TortureI refuse to draw characters getting violently tortured in sexual & nonsexual scenarios. The aforementioned does not apply to scratching / bloodplay, orgasm / relief denial and playful choking or rough sex.MurderI refuse to draw characters getting murdered or murdering others for sexual pleasure as well as necrophilia (the act of having sexual intercourse with a corpse).Candy Gore - so long as it's not sexualised - is perfectly okay!Gore & InjuryFor the purpose of story telling in nonsexual scenarios I am okay with drawing injured characters i.e cuts, bruises, broken bones, missing limbs, open wounds etc. This includes inflicting injuries upon other characters or themselves.I refuse to draw Trypophonophilia (sexual penetration of wounds) erotophonophilia (lust murder) or other paraphilias related to injuries or murder.Characters you want to see injured must be your own. You will be required to provide proof of consent for characters that are owned by someone else.IncestWhile not my favourite subject to draw I do permit incest. Though I only allow consensual incest, implying the characters involved are willingly having sex with each other.Beastiality / ZoophiliaI refuse to draw beastiality involving humans & humanoid characters having intercourse with non-sentient, typically feral-bodied characters (four-legged animals or pets that cannot give consent due to lack of awareness / sentience).I am okay with anthropomorphic characters having sex with sentient feral-bodied characters i.e dragons, MLP, pokemon - provided they are depicted being undoubtedly capable of speech and can give consent.Underage Characters & DiaperI will never draw underage characters partaking in sexual scenarios. All characters must therefore be at least 18 years old or over.I refuse to draw anything related to diaper fetishes or the sexualisation of diapers, including adult characters wearing diapers.This does not apply to the nonsexual depiction of infant / toddler characters of course.Scat, Urine & VomitI refuse to draw scat - anything related to faeces and the sexualisation of it.I am okay with watersports (aka urine, clear or yellow) provided the characters in question aren't forced to partake in it. I am also okay with unintentional loss of bladder control and squirting.I refuse to draw sexualised vomiting (Emetophilia).I am okay with cum-vomit (e.g for “all-the-way-through” fetishes) and rainbow-vomit.Anti-LGBT, Racism & BigotryI refuse to draw anything racist, anti-LGBTQ+ or otherwise bigoted themes or characters.But I'll gladly draw your character punching the lights out of a nazi.
