General


Art is my full time job as I cannot work a regular job. My body and brain do not allow me to be more than a homebody. I am working on getting mental and medical help with my issues, but living in America as a queer, AFAB, neurodivergent person is pretty rough.Adult Clients Only and ID Verification
---I do not work with minors/anyone under the age of twenty (20) as per personal preference. I will not accept commissions on a minor's or person under twenty’s (20) behalf either. I am a responsible adult that only works with other adults and prefers adult clientele. Age verification is required to commission NSFW (Not Safe For Work) materials from me.
---If your age is unclear, or if asked due to uncertainties, I will ask for further verification. If further verification is needed; please place your ID on a piece of paper with your social handle/name, the day's date, and either your PayPal email or CashApp Tag written beside it. You are free to delete the image of your ID once age is confirmed. Failure to provide verification for NSFW materials will result in providing only SFW (Safe For Work) materials.
Credit and Watermark
---Please credit me in your post as the artist if you are posting or showing off my work. If posting older designs or artwork made under old handles, please use my current art handle (paintedgraves.)
Old Art Handles : SsadBoiHourzz, CigaretteSmokeDreams, Rabid_Disaster, BATGVTZ, x_monochrobatic_x
--- While my watermark and socials may be included on the piece, it’s not always readable due to quality drops when posting or cropping to use as icons/banners. Do not purposefully crop out, edit, or remove my watermark and claim art as your own.
Commercial and Personal Usage
---As the artist, I have full permission to post artwork I’ve made to my social sites and use as examples. If the commissioner does not wish for me to use their artwork as examples or to post it, please tell me so as I’m not a mind reader.
---Commissioner is permitted to use the commissioned artwork for personal usage only. This includes printing the artwork for posters, making button pins, and badges as physical pieces. These items cannot add onto the characters value as they are physical items of an already existing and paid for piece.
---Commissioner is prohibited from using the commissioned artwork for profit or self-advertisement of products and services. This means the commissioner cannot produce profitable merchandise with the commissioned artwork from me. The commissioner also may not use physical items, with my artwork intended for personal use, for advertisement or examples of services.

Art


Reference Sheets
---I accept flat colour, digital references only. This may come in the form of a proper front/back reference sheet (preferred), or multiple flat colour reference images. These are easiest for me to work with as I do not have to stress and separate shading from markings. I do NOT accept shaded reference sheets or traditional references.
--- Do not send unsolicited Not Safe For Work (NSFW) or lewd images for reference unless specifically requested to. I am not comfortable with NSFW being sent to me out of the blue.
Rejections
---As I started as a canine, all femme artist, I’m trying my hardest to branch out. I struggle a little bit with new species, muscular bodies, detailed feathers, scales, and male bodies. If your character is a species I’m incredibly ill-practiced with, or I feel under-skilled to execute your idea perfectly, then I may politely decline your commission inquiry. I do not do art or character trades no matter the circumstance.
Boundaries
---Do not send images of your character appearing underage in any way. I draw adults, not children. Sending suggestive artwork of a child-like or quadrupedal character will result in being blocked and I will expose you publicly for it.
---My artwork cannot be used for hatred or oppression towards any minority group, abuse towards animals or children, or political propaganda.
I do not stand for : racism, xenophobia, misogyny, anti-semitism, zoophilia, paedophilia, domestic violence, police brutality, facism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, genocide, problematic shipping, anti-vaccination, Trump, MAGA, Blue Lives Matter, Generative AI, NFTs.
Adopts
---Do not delete my artwork or designs off of ToyHou.se if sent or transferred on the site. You are free to resell, gift, or trade the character you’ve received from me twenty-four (24) hours after purchase. Please do not upsell the character for more than what you spent without adding art to the character. (This can be art you’ve made or commissioned from others.)

Payment and Refunds

------- CashApp - https://cash.app/$BATGVTZ
------- PayPal (no invoices) - https://paypal.me/BATGVTZZZ
------- Ko-Fi - http://ko-fi.com/paintedgraves
Refunds
Nonrefundable Pieces
---- Completely finished pieces will not be refunded as I have completed the service.
---- If you are unhappy with the artwork, but you approved work in progress shots without mentioning any unhappiness, that’s on you for not communicating.
Tips are Nonrefundable
---- Tips are excluded from the base price of the commission and will not be refunded as I owe the client the artwork's worth, not their charity.
Refunds Are Not Given Due to Money Mismanagement
---- Refunds will not be issued in the event that the commissioner hasn't handled important things (bills, food, gas) first before splurging on luxuries. It's not my job as the artist to manage how you spend.

No to Generative AI and NFTs


---My posted artwork will always be heavily watermarked. Tiled png watermark and typed credits will always be included on my images. This is to prevent theft from individuals who steal and plagiarize others' work out of laziness and greed. Using services like Glaze and Nightshade are helpful, but are not foolproof with the furthering advances made in AI in today's internet world.---I do not, nor will I ever, agree to having my artwork fed to an image generating AI or treated as an NFT. This is massively disrespectful to human artists. If you support and/or use GenAI, I ask that you do not support me. You cannot ethically support human artists if you are also actively advancing soulless art-thieving robots.---Generative Artificial Image servers steal from artists’, both living and deceased, un/protected online portfolios. This includes photography, digital artistry, and 3D modeling asset portfolios. The amount of garbage generated images flooding the art market is harming new artists wanting to enter the market by causing artstyle skepticism. Non Fungible Tokens are stupid money laundering grifts that profit off the same idea of character creators (like Picrew), but instead of allowing a human to create them, a robot generates them. NFTs are a capitalistic stain on the art market. To keep generative AI and NFT servers up and running, they have to use up to ten (10) times more resources than your average Google search. This means they are actively contributing to the continuing global warming crisis, and further proving that humanity is taking what we have for granted.
