TOS for art commissions and about art use:
TOS for design use
(please read if you own one of my designs!):

I only accept payment through Paypal ([email protected]) or Cashapp ($naaniku - 2 a's!!) anything else is not me.Always beware of scammers/impersonators! I will never discuss payment in comments except for on Toyhouse. My Discord is @naniku. All my socials are linked on this Carrd home page - any other accounts selling my designs or comms is not me.
Design TOS
If you use my artwork, credit is required.
I may use the design's artwork to promote myself.You may change the design as much as you like, example: clothing, colors, gender, species (ask about cs/closed species) etc. You MUST still credit me as the original designer even if the character's design has drastically changed. Crediting/adding other designers is OK if they worked on a redesign.Please ask first if you would like to edit on top of my art. I am usually willing to edit designs so feel free to ask!Trading and gifting the character is completely fine. If you would like to raffle the design, ask me first. If you received the design from gift, for free, or from raffle, you are not allowed to sell/trade unless extra art has been added on. Do not sell adopt for more than you bought it for unless extra art was made during the time of ownership. Art that adds worth has to either be commissioned or your own art, gifted art does not add worth. traded art does not add money worth.(for Toyhouse users) Please do not private or put my designs on authorize only. If you feel like you really need to private a character, please reach out to me about it first. I would appreciate being authorized for auth only characters or being given a "key" link. DO NOT DELETE MY DESIGNS!(for off-site owners) Please update me if you have resold the character and who is the new owner. If you get a Toyhouse account in the future I may have a design profile already made for you so do reach out to me!Any further questions, feel free to ask.

These prices are for purchasing commercial use of a past design.
commercial price for a custom design or new adopt is +$150!Please contact me if you'd like to purchase commercial rights

$100-$299 | +$200 |

commercial use includes:
Vtuber/png tuber/ streaming sona, mascot, selling merch for profit, ect.If I see you using the character in a way I would view profitable, I may request commercial payment or for you to stop using the design as so.
Art TOS
USE OF ARTWORKDo not use my art for AI training or put my art in any AI for any reasonDo not sell my artwork as an NFT or anything similar for any reason.If the art was commissioned by you or it includes your character, I am completely fine with you using it as a profile banner, profile picture, or other personal use (credit is preferred). You may repost it but it MUST have credit and/or link back to any of my socials.If you would like to edit something yourself on my work please ask first.COMMERCIAL USE: +150% FOR ALL ART COMMS
design commercial use is listed in design TOSCAN DRAW:
- revealing clothing (women. I can't do men anatomy well;;) no minor characters
- busty women

When the commission is finished I can send it to you via email or Discord DMs for best quality.I may use the commission artwork to promote myself/artwork. I may post this artwork on any platform (with watermark and lowered resolution) I may post it full resolution without watermark on my Patreon and Discord server boosters channel. commercial commissions are allowed NDA.I work on all accepted commissions at the same time. I will always keep you updated on how long you will be waiting. You can also see my queue for updates.You may ask for WIP at anytime but PLEASE DO NOT pester me about it constantly. Don't send me a message every other day asking for an update, it stresses me out and makes the whole commission process very unenjoyable.
FAQ
"when are your commissions opening again?"
(updated 6/12) TLDR: I don't know
Delaying this for the 1000th time... I'll try to open in June but honestly I'm considering not opening at all (for now) because I'm still overwhelmed with old queue and commissions make me super miserable 😭 IF I do open this month it will be super selective and limited with a wait time of 2-7 months... sorry...
"Can you let me know when your commissions are open again?"
I can not personally let you know, you have to join my discord server for the commission ping. I have terrible memory and don't do any pinglists! Join my Discord for notifications/pings!!
"Can I get a drawing of a preexisting character in the same format as your adopts/custom designs?" / "Do you do reference sheet commissions?"
I do not. I've had a few people now ask if I do reference sheet commissions similar to how I format my adoptable/designs. While I do not do reference sheet comms, I can do redesigns or outfit designs for an already existing character for the same price as my normal customs. Just submit the details next time I'm open for design comms!
"Can we do an art trade?"
(CLOSED atm) I only do art trades with close friends. but If we are mutuals, still feel free to ask. But if we are not mutuals/friends the answer is no... (same with art collabs)
"Hi how are you?" (small talking)
I do not like small talk. If you have a question, please get straight to the point.
"Can we be friends?"
I believe friendships develop naturally. DMs asking to be friends like this makes me uncomfortable... So please do not ask this.
"can you teach me how to draw like you?"
Sorry, no... I'm not a teacher and I'm self taught. I don't know what to tell you other than draw a lot!!!
"Do you do chibi commissions?"
I do not. I feel like my chibis are too inconsistent to add that as a commission option...
"Will you ever do comic commissions?"
Never. Sorry. Comic art is something very personal to me and an area of art I have a lot of passion for. I don't want to lose that passion by making it a job, which is what happened to me for most my art.

AUCTIONS
This is just a spot in my Carrd where I put my in-depth auction/adopt rules without having to copy and paste it in each post
TERMS for anyone unfamiliarSB: starting bid
MI: minimum increase. the minimum amount the bid is allowed to increase
AB: auto buyAB2: a second AB at a higher price (usually including commercial use with it) AB2 CAN override AB1 in my auctions!!"AB TBA": to be added. I send updates in my Discord server #announcements channel on when I plan to release the AB. I only PING (@naniku-adopts) when the AB has actually been added and available to claim.
AUCTION RULES
please bid in a chain by replying to the comment with the highest bid. You can view the bidding chain in the comments of the adopt on Toyhou.se.
I hold my auctions on Toyhou.se but that doesn't mean you have to have a Toyhou.se account to buy and own one of my designs. (Please view design TOS)
Private bids I accept in Discord DMs or Twitter DMs. I am not checking anywhere else! Priv bids are anonymous.
If I don't see your DM right away, I am likely asleep.Auction will end 24-48 hours (not specific) after last bid or immediately after AB.If someone fails to pay, I will go with the last highest bid or reopen the auction/adopt depending.HOLDS AND PAYMENT PLANS (PP)
Holds/PP are OK as long as at least the SB amount is paid upfront and full payment is complete within 1 month.
Longer payment plans are allowed if the bid exceeds $500. A deadline will be agreed upon after discussion.COMMERCIAL USE
my adopts are all personal use unless you purchase commercial use! Commercial use for new adopts is $150.
Please do not include the commercial use amount in your bid since the main chain is personal use at default. Let me know after the auction is closed if you would like to purchase commercial use. (this is in the case that an AB is not placed. Otherwise you just AB2)commercial use is more expensive if you buy it later!
