[Update #2 — Commission Terms Adjustment: Payment - 12/12/2025]
Hello everyone! Quick and important update from your local French artist who is currently powered by tea, deadlines, and the stubborn refusal to give up.
I usually accept half upfront or full payment at the end — both are still completely fine, I really don’t mind! I understand that life happens, banks have tantrums, and sometimes your paycheck decides to vanish like a Skyrim NPC.
However, what is not okay is disappearing for a long time and using the artwork before paying and… just ghosting me while sharing it everywhere.
Please don’t do that. I am an artist, not the free samples aisle at Cotsco.
So from now on, once I send your finished commission, there will be a 7-day payment window for the people chosing to pay full-price at the moment of receiving the commission.
Seven days. Enough time to breathe, snack, fight your bank app, win, and then pay like a normal functioning adult.
And to be very clear:
I do not believe in naming or shaming clients publicly. I won’t post your username, I won’t tag you, I won’t make a list and tape it to the community fridge.
That kind of drama doesn’t help anyone.
But, and this is important, if someone repeatedly ignores messages, declines to communicate, or uses art they haven’t paid for, I will add them to a private list I already have in my files and I will not work with them again in the future.
And if you keep the art up without paying? You will receive a DMCA.
With love. And speed. And for anyone who doesn’t know what a DMCA is: It’s basically the internet’s equivalent of me slapping your hand with a rolled-up newspaper and yelling, “NO. BAD.” …but legally.
A DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown) is a very serious adult form that says: “Hello, this clown stole my art,” and then the website goes, “OH WORD??”
And then yeets your post into the sun without even asking questions.
This is not punishment. And I do not enjoy sending this to people. But this is me doing some basic boundary-setting IF you chose to refuse to pay. It protects my time, my work, my workload, and the three remaining brain cells powering this operation so I can keep creating for the people who do respect the process.
If you genuinely have issues and need longer, that’s totally fine!! Just tell me. I am not a monster. I get that life falls apart sometimes (you should see my life since like JUNE lmao-), banks explode, your cat eats your debit card, whatever.
Communication solves 99% of problems. I do that too when life is kicking me in the teeth.
I love working with you all, and your support genuinely means the world. Thank you for respecting my work, my time, and the effort behind every piece I make!!💖
Stay hydrated, be kind, and for the love of art… don’t be THAT kind of weird!!
