Hello there! Welcome to my Website!

About me!
I'm Hetarix, also known as Kitket in the past by select few.
I'm a Games Art Graduate in the UK who loves to draw all sorts of fantasy creatures and mystical beings. I must say humans aren't my strong suit, but I'm working on it. I'm working on improving my skills and sharing them with you all. I have been drawing all my life, but decided to take it seriously in 2016.Software & Equipment:
The software I use is Clip Studio Paint (Celsys)
The drawing tablet I use is the XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro Screen tablet!Hetarix - Mascot:
Hetarix, the little drake you see below this, is my OC and a mascot that I created in 2017. If you want to draw her, feel free to DM me about it! If you plan on posting the art with my character on social media, you MUST credit or tag me as the designer of Hetarix.
No design altering. you can find her up-to-date reference sheet on my Instagram, or you can DM me on Instagram or Discord for it!
Tracing and art theft will NOT be tolerated.

Terms of Service

The Client must read and agree to the Terms below prior to ordering a commission. By sending payment, the Client agrees to the Terms. A breach of the Terms will result in cancellation of the Client’s current orders, a ban from doing further business with the Artist, and legal action where applicable. These Terms of Service are subject to revisions, editing, and additions without notice. The Terms in force at the time you order will govern your purchase. Before your next purchase, the Artist may have changed the Terms without notice to you. Please review the Terms each time you order.

General

○ By commissioning Hetarix (the Artist), the Client is paying for artistic labor only. The Client does not receive rights to reuse, publish, edit, or sell the artwork being created.
○ The client is expected to remain professional during the entire commission duration. Any disrespect and/or unprofessional behaviour may result in the cancellation of the commission and the banning of the client from future purchases.
○ The artwork is guaranteed to be a one-of-a-kind, original creation by Hetarix, interpreted in Hetarix’s art style, not previously sold elsewhere.
○ By sending payment, the Client agrees to the Artist’s Terms of Service, attests that they are 18 years of age or older, and attests that they are using their own payment instrument and their own money.
○ The Artist reserves the right to reject any commission for any reason.
○ The Artist reserves the right to cancel any commission at any point for any reason.
○ The Artist currently does not accept “written description only” commissions; the Client must provide visual references of the character(s) to be depicted.
○ The Client must be the owner of the character(s) to be depicted or have permission from the owner to have their character(s) depicted. The Artist may accept commission requests intended to be surprise gifts, but the Artist will tag the owner of the character on the social media post. This rule has been implemented to thwart character theft.
○ Commission material is subject to the Artist’s approval. Hetarix prefers to produce Safe For Work work and will not accept any requests to depict the following: Hate/discrimination, Fetishes, NSFW & Excessive violence/gore

Payment & Refunds

○ Commissions accepted are done via PayPal invoice sent from the Artist to the Client or via banktransfer within the UK.
○ The Artist will only accept the full price in British Pounds (GBP £).
○ The Artist will not start working on the commission until full payment is received, unless the artist states otherwise. The Artist might not start working on the commission immediately after payment is received.
○ Full payment of PayPal invoices is expected within 72 hours of the invoice being sent. Payment plans are available. If the invoice remains unpaid after 2 weeks, the Artist will cancel the invoice and drop the Client’s request – the Client will not retain a position in the Artist’s to-do list and will need to re-order, subject to the Artist’s availability.
○ The Client will not send any unsolicited PayPal payment directly to the Artist. Any random payment sent to the Artist’s PayPal without permission will be refunded, minus any fees deducted by PayPal.
○ If the Client requests to cancel the commission before the Artist has started working on it, the Client will be provided a full refund.
○ If the Client requests to cancel the commission while it is in progress, the Client will receive a partial refund in an amount determined by the Artist based on how much time has already been put into the commission.
○ The Client is not eligible for a refund if the commission is completed.

Edits

○ Minor changes can be requested at any time prior to the completion of the commission without charge.
○ For commission types with an approval stage, the Client may request 2 revisions (changing the pose, palette, background, etc.) during the sketch phase for free. Further major changes (revisions) will incur a fee. Once the sketch has been approved, only minor changes are possible.
○ Whether a commission type has an approval stage will be specified by the Artist when taking on the commission.
○ The Artist will fix mistakes at any point for free if the requested changes are clearly noted design elements that were missed at fault of the artist.
○ The Client is responsible for providing all relevant information and up-to-date, clear references at the time the commission is being ordered. The Artist is not at fault for any mistakes made due to the provided reference(s) being out-of-date, unclear, missing details, or if relevant information was not provided. Fixing these mistakes will incur an additional fee.

Communication, Deadlines, and Delivery

○ The Artist can be contacted via private message on Discord, Instagram or via email at [email protected]. During the ordering process, the Client and Artist will agree upon a preferred communication platform.
○ Deadlines, if not explicitly stated in the commission offering, must be requested and agreed upon before payment. The Artist reserves the right to decline deadlines mentioned after the commission has been paid for.
○ The turnaround time for commissions is not yet measured but expected to be three months on average. The Artist may complete the commission faster or slower depending on the commission type, technical problems, long queues, vacation, and other factors!
○ The Artist will update the Client on the progress of their commission, and seek approval whenever relevant, by sending low-resolution work-in-progress (WIP) images of the artwork in its current phase of production.
○ The Client may request WIPs at any time with a reasonable cadence (please not daily) and with the understanding that there may have been no progress since the previous WIP, especially if there is not an agreed-upon deadline.
○ Completed artwork will be uploaded and will be sent to the Client via the preferred communication platform.
○ A smaller version of the completed artwork will be posted on the Artist’s personal social media pages.
○ Unless otherwise specified in the commission offering, the completed artwork will be a digital illustration and a physical copy will not be shipped to the Client.
