Hello!
Please read below to get a full understanding of my art commission Terms of Service. My TOS are subject to change at any time. These TOS are not legally binding, but regardless must be followed if you wish to interact/commission me! I have the right to refuse/deny/refund any project I deem incompleteable for ANY reason.
Thank you for showing interest in my artwork!! Feel free to reach out to me on any of my platforms if you wish to discuss my TOS or commission options, I am currently most active on Instagram, Cara and Discord!Last Updated: (10/01/2025)

PAYMENT AND REFUNDS

  • - I accept payment via Ko-Fi or PayPal. Full payment is required before I begin working on your commission.

  • - All prices for commissions, adopts and bases are in (CAD) Canadian Dollars.

  • - You, the commissioner, may cancel your commission at any time for any reason, and I do not require an explanation. I will retain a minimum of 25% of the total commission price. the remaining 75% will be refunded to the commissioner via original payment method.

  • - If, for any reason I, souptheworm, have to cancel the commission for any reason you will receive a full refund regardless of progress made.

  • - Any artwork or progress created for a refunded commission may not be used, reposted, or claimed by the commissioner under any circumstances.

CUSTOM ART COMMISSIONS

  • - Custom Art Commissions are original pieces of art made by me, souptheworm. This includes unique character pieces, "Your Character Here" (YCH) pieces, base-fills, etc.

  • - Commissions are for personal and social media use ONLY. Any other usage must be explicitly discussed and agreed upon in advance.

  • - I require a clear digital reference of your character to begin work. I do not work from written descriptions. I may also request proof of ownership if necessary.

  • - I often share work-in-progress (WIP) and completed pieces on my social media. If you would prefer your commission to remain private, please let me know at any time.

  • - I retain all rights to my artwork, including the right to display it in portfolios and online galleries. My work may not be used for commercial purposes unless a separate licensing agreement is made. Commissioners may not sell, redistribute, or profit from my artwork in any form.

  • - I maintain the right to decline any commission for any reason at any point in the commission process. Please refer to the refund policy above for more information.

  • - I do not work on a fixed schedule. I balance commissions with a full-time job, and art is a secondary priority. I will complete your commission as timely as possible. If you require a specific deadline, it must be discussed before payment, and rush orders may incur additional fees.

  • - reposting, sharing my artwork is OK and encouraged, but requires credit to @souptheworm

  • - Aggressive, disrespectful, or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. Let’s keep our interactions respectful and kind.

COMMISSION PROCESS

  • Step 1: Reach out to me via Discord, ToyHouse, Instagram or Cara to get started. Let me know any key details regarding the character/commission for me to achieve your vision. This is the best time to send any reference images at this time.

  • Step 2: I will direct you to my Ko-Fi to select/pay for your chosen commission type. KoFi accepts PayPal and debit/credit card payments.

  • Step 3: Now the waiting begins! I’ll send you updates as I work through the each stage; Rough sketch, Clean sketch, Flat colors, and Shading! At each stage, you're welcome to request changes. However, major or frequent revisions may incur additional charges, and I reserve the right to deny certain alterations if they are excessive or not feasible.

  • At each stage, please let me know if you need or want changes. major/constant changes may be subject to additional charges. I may deny alteration requests.

  • Step 4: Once you've approved the final piece, I’ll send you a PNG file via email. If you prefer a different file type or delivery method, just let me know—I'm happy to accommodate digital alternatives. Physical shipping is not available at this time. Watermarks and Signatures must NOT be removed under any circumstances.
