TwistedHiccy - Terms Of Service 

last updated 23 July 2021

​

By commissioning me you automatically agree to my Terms of Service outlined in detail below. 

 

Commissioning Process & Requirements

​

Commission Openings will be announced via twitter. To commission me you must be at least 18 years old and are required to fill out a commission form provided on my website (twistedhiccy.art). Said commission form will typically remain open for a week. Filling out a commission form is not a guarantee that you will be picked. I do not work on a first-come-first-serve basis. Instead I’ll be hand-picking clients. You may request multiple commissions by filling out and sending separate forms for each commission you’d like to request. In the event that your name has been chosen you’ll be invoiced for however many commissions you requested - so please be sure you can afford it. 

 

I will be performing a background check on all clients to avoid being scammed. Anyone deemed untrustworthy will be rejected. 

 

Commission Contract 

 

By commissioning me (TwistedHiccy) you (the client) agree to the production of a custom created art piece. The artwork is to contain the agreed upon specific details and will be produced for the agreed upon fee you were invoiced for. 

 

Sometime within receipt of payment I will provide a sketch for the client and allow for any modifications and additions - major changes* may require renegotiation of (if provided) timeframe and fee (to be paid within 48 hours). Once the sketch has been approved I will continue to work on the lineart & colours. At this stage the client may only request minor* changes. Once the lineart & colours have been approved I will shade & finish the artwork. At this stage requests for any changes will not be granted unless they are minor*. 

 

*what constitutes as “major” or “minor” falls under my judgement, not the client’s. Examples of minor changes can be colour alterations, small additions or fixes in the rare case of missed details or mistakes made by the artist (TwistedHiccy). Examples of major changes can be changes to the pose, expression and clothes. 

 

Timeframe

 

I try to finish commissions as quickly as I can, however I cannot give exact estimates as to how long they will take. Generally speaking I aim to deliver within 3 months but under exceptional circumstances I may take longer. Clients will be notified should there be exceptional circumstances in which I find myself not being able to deliver the artwork as quickly as I intended. I will also be giving relevant updates on my life and commissions on my twitter @TwistedHiccy. 

 

Payment, Refunds & Cancellations

 

The Payment must be made within 48 hours of receipt (unless we negotiated a different timeframe) . You will be notified when the invoice has been sent and when payment has been received. 

 

I will not start working on your commission until full payment has been provided. 

 

Refunds must be requested before the client has received a sketch and within 24 hours of the invoice being paid.

 

I reserve the right to cancel someone’s commission and refund them at any time. 

 

File Dimensions and Quality of Final Artwork

 

The client will be receiving low resolution images of any and all stages right up until the artwork has been finalised. The completed, high-resolution piece(s) will be sent via email.

 

The final dimensions of the artwork on average varies anywhere between 1000px - 4000px unless the client requested specific dimensions. 

 

Ownership Rights

 

Upon receipt of the final artwork(s) the client is authorized to make use of the artwork(s) for any non-commercial display purposes. Ownership of the copyright as well as the right to use the artwork(s) for promotional purposes remains with the artist. I reserve the right to publish all of my artwork, however if the commissioned piece is meant as a surprise gift for someone else I will hold off from posting it until the date provided by the client. 

 

Responsiveness 

 

For optimal efficiency it is advised that the client responds to any queries and updates provided by me within a week. Should the client not be able to meet said criteria for any reason the artist is to be notified in advance. Should this criteria not be met the artist reserves the right to cancel the commission after 1 week of unresponsiveness and (if applicable) refund the client partially or in full. 

 

In the rare instances that I - the artist - cannot respond to any queries from the client within 1 week I will be giving said client notice in advance when possible. 

 

Themes, Kinks & Fetishes 

 

While I’ll willing to draw a variety of kinks and fetishes, please note that I refuse to draw anything related to rape, torture, murder, incest, abuse, anti-LGBTQ+, racism, necrophilia, beastiality  / zoophilia, scat & urine, diaper and underage characters. While I may have been drawn some of these topics in the past I’ve since grown increasingly more uncomfortable towards them and refuse to draw them as of July 2021. I’ll be giving more detail towards them below while also clarifying what I allow. 

 

Rape, Murder, Torture, Abuse & Gore

 

Due to my own experiences with sexual assault I refuse to draw rape. However I am okay with dubcon (“dubious consent” - e.g. character is feeling pleasure but not admitting it / ashamed to admit it).

 

I refuse to draw abuse intended to physically or psychologically hurt a character. However I’m okay with playful insults and degrading as part of sexual scenes as long as no ill-intent was meant and the other character is enjoying being degraded.

​

I refuse to draw characters getting tortured violently. I am however okay with scratching / bloodplay, orgasm denial and playful choking / rough sex. 

 

I refuse drawing characters being murdered as well as necrophilia, the only exception to this rule being non-sexualised candy-gore.

 

Incest & Beastiality

 

I am no longer willing to draw anything related to incest. While I may have drawn incestuous things in the past I never particularly enjoyed the fetish and have grown increasingly more uncomfortable towards the subject. It is therefore now taboo. 

 

I refuse to draw beastiality. I define beastiality as anything involving humans & humanoid characters having intercourse with insentient, typically feral-bodied characters (four-legged animals or pets that cannot give consent). 

I am however okay with anthropomorphic characters having sex with sentient feral-bodied characters i.e dragons, MLP, pokemon - provided they are capable of speech and can give consent. 

 

Underage Characters & Diaper 

 

I will never draw underage characters partaking in sexual scenarios, all characters must be 18 years old. I am okay with age differences provided all the characters are consenting adults (must at least be 18 years of age). 

 

While I have allowed people to commission diaper fetishes involving adult characters in the past I have never been comfortable with the subject and refuse to draw it completely now. 

 

Scat, Urine & Vomit

 

I refuse to draw scat. Anything related to feces and the sexualisation of it. 

 

I am okay with watersports (i.e. urine) provided the characters in question aren't forced to partake in it. I am okay with (and prefer) unintentional loss of bladder control and squirting.

 

I refuse to draw characters vomiting actual vomit due to my emetophobia. 

I am however (strangely) okay with cum-vomit (e.g for “all-the-way-through” fetishes) and rainbow-vomit. 

 

Anti-LGBTQ, Racism & Bigotry

 

I refuse to draw anything racist, anti-LGBTQ+ or otherwise bigoted themes or characters.
