Terms of Service
Please read the following terms of service thoroughly before attempting to commission work from our studio.Terms are subject to change at any time, but new terms will never be retroactively applied to any piece commissioned prior to said changes.Clients are responsible for reading and understanding our terms of service prior to commissioning art. If you are unclear about any of our terms of service, please feel free to ask for clarification before placing your commission. Questions received once a piece has been commissioned will still be answered, but as-is terms will still apply to any commission that has already been ordered.
GENERAL1. By ordering a commission, you are agreeing to the terms outlined below and will be expected to adhere to them.2. This studio is jointly run by two artists and a social media manager/personal assistant. Commissions are made with the studio itself, and work may be completed by either artist at the studio's discretion. Clients are not permitted to choose which artist works on their pieces. This rule applies to both in-stream and out-of-stream commissions. The studio does, however, guarantee that all final products will be held to the studio's historically precedented quality.3. All members of studio staff equally represent the studio and possess equivalent levels of information in regard to the studio. Clients are not permitted to direct their questions to any specific member of the studio and are required to accept the answers of any member as official and final. Requesting not to communicate with a specific staff member is only allowed in very specific cases. If you believe you have such a case, please contact us to discuss.4. We reserve the right to decline any commission for any reason, be it specified or unspecified. To date, commissions have only been declined due to a lack of in-stream slots, a client-specified deadline that we felt we would be unable to meet, the client having been involved with activities or content that falls under our 'Blacklistable Offenses', and/or requested content that appears on our ‘Will Not Draw’ list. Both the 'Blacklistable Offenses' and 'Will Not Draw' lists are included below for your convenience.
Will Not Draw List-Scat ¹
-Diapers
-Sexualized minors/cub
-Hate art or bigotry of any kind
-Revenge art
-Fetishization of certain groups (transgender, race, religion, etc)
-Solo Feral NSFW
-Feral x Feral NSFW
-Feral x Anthro NSFW ²
-Feral x Human NSFW ²
-Non-con/Rape ³
-Hyper muscle
-Extreme hyper ⁴
-Necrophilia
-Animal violence or death ⁵
-Anal, penile, or breast vore ⁵
-Art for or involving characters belonging to anyone with credible allegations of art theft, scamming, stalking, rape, murder, zoophilia, belonging to any hate group, child/minor predation, the sexualization of minors, or ERP involving a minor admin or minor character. We, of course, cannot screen every client, but people known to be in any of the previously mentioned groups will be quietly and privately blacklisted.¹ Water sports are accepted.
² Human x Anthro and Anthro x Anthro are accepted.
³ Implied non-con is accepted if the owners of all characters involved are consenting.
⁴ As defined as ‘a body part the size of a room’ or larger. Exaggerated proportions to a lesser degree than described are accepted. Macro/micro is also accepted.
⁵ While we are generally comfortable with consensual oral vore, feral creatures are not capable of consent, and therefore, this rule extends to vore involving feral creatures.If you have questions about anything else, please ask.We reserve the right to turn down any content that makes us uncomfortable, regardless of whether or not it is listed above.5. Currently, our ‘Will Not Draw’ list consists of only the items listed above. What does or does not constitute these themes will be at the sole discretion of the studio. We also reserve the right to amend this list to include any additional subject matter without warning.6. Inappropriate and/or disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated. When such behavior occurs, a warning will be given to cease and desist immediately. If the behavior continues, action (up to and including the cancellation of a commission or the blacklisting of a client) may be taken at the studio's discretion.7. Any parties discovered to be involved with or actively participating in the certain activities will be blacklisted.
Blacklistable Offenses:-Art theft
-Scamming
-Stalking
-Rape and/or sexual assault
-Murder
-Commissioning NSFW art while underage
-Pedophilic activities or roleplay
-Grooming/preying on children/minors
-Commissioning, sharing, or favoriting sexualized minors/cub
-Zoophilia

-Disparaging studio pricing and/or attempting to haggle pricesBlacklisted parties will no longer be allowed to:-Purchase art from our studio
-Have art purchased on their behalf
-Have their characters included in joint commissions
-Pledge to our Patreon
-Interact with the studio and its content in any way via ban/block (in extreme cases)In nearly all cases, blacklisting is permanent and will not be lifted for any reason.
COMMISSION INFORMATION1. All commission inquiries are welcome, and we are happy to answer any and all questions regarding a potential commission. Though, we do ask that clients are patient with us regarding response time. We try to answer all messages as quickly as possible, but there are occasional delays.2. References for a commission may be submitted via written description, photos/pictures that represent desired qualities/appearances, color palettes, previously completed art, or any combination thereof. Others' art that is unrelated to your specific commission may be submitted for inspiration, but we will not knowingly replicate or steal the intellectual property of any person or entity.3. Clients are responsible for seeking and receiving permission from other parties to use or include their intellectual property in a commissioned piece. We take no responsibility for seeking, receiving, or verifying this permission. Additionally, clients are not permitted to require that we personally seek their permission before others be allowed to commission pieces that include their intellectual property.4. Only clients 18+ are allowed to commission NSFW art. Both character and admin of any character featured in NSFW art must be 18+ as well. By commissioning NSFW art, you are confirming that you, all involved parties, and all involved characters are 18+.5. Queue work is largely, though not necessarily, determined by the date a piece was ordered/paid. We reserve the right to alternate between pieces as the studio sees fit for both creativity and efficiency purposes. Our public queue can be found here: RAS Trello6. Standard queue commissions will not be completed via stream. We reserve the right to hold commission streams at our discretion, regardless of our queue, as these commissions are handled entirely separately from in-stream commissions.7. For in-stream commissions, the artists will occasionally require additional information or clarification from clients. Clients will be given a reasonable amount of time (no less than 15 minutes) to answer artist queries. If no answer has been received at the end of the allotted time and the artists are unable to proceed without an answer, we reserve the right to begin or continue work on another client's piece until an answer is received, at which time work will recommence as soon as is convenient.8. Stream commission slots will be offered on a first-come, first-paid basis. Slot reservations are not allowed.9. We may choose to pause your in-stream commission prior to coloring so that the color process can be completed offline. The studio's most experienced colorist does not generally stream her work, and allowing this will result in a better end product for you, the client. Color will usually be completed within 1-3 days of the stream's end, and clients will be notified if any delay occurs.
CHANGES & ALTERATIONS1. Submitted references must be clear and complete. Any errors made within the provided details will be corrected at no additional charge. Any perceived errors made to a piece due to unclear or incomplete references will be completed at the studio's discretion and may potentially carry an associated fee. We will make an attempt to gain clarification on any details that we find unclear or confusing before proceeding, but we will not hold up progress on a piece due to lengthy delays (more than 24 hours) in communication from the client.2. Commission details must be solidified before we begin work on a piece. Any drastic changes made to the content or concept of a piece once we've begun work on it will carry an additional fee to compensate for the work already completed.3. Unless otherwise stated, clients will be provided WIP updates at each stage of a piece at both undersketch and lines, as well as a final once-over when the piece is completed. Clients will be given ample time (no less than 24 hours) to approve the work at any given stage. Once a stage has been approved, work will continue on the piece as our schedule allows. If longer than the allotted approval time has passed, we reserve the right to continue the piece as if approval was given. Any changes requested to any stage of the piece, once the work has progressed beyond that stage, may carry an associated fee.4. For commissions of $20 or less, we will allot 5 minutes to on-the-house client changes at no additional cost. For commissions between $21-50, we will allow 10 minutes of changes at no additional cost. For commissions over $50, we will allow 30 minutes worth of changes at no additional cost. Changes beyond those described above will be made at the studio's discretion and charged at a rate of $1.25 per 5 minutes with a 5 minute minimum.
PRICING & PAYMENT INFORMATION1. Do not send payment until we have agreed to accept your commission to ensure both our availability and correct pricing.2. Payment is required up-front and prior to the studio beginning work on a commissioned piece. Regardless of how intricately a commission has been discussed, it is not considered officially placed until some degree of payment has been received. If the original specifications of a piece are altered after payment has been sent, the client will be required to appropriately compensate for those alterations.3. Installment plans are available and generally granted upon request for pieces costing $40 or more. The minimum downpayment on any piece, in order to hold its place in our queue, is $20. However, certain percentage thresholds will be required before specific stages of a piece are completed. We are happy to discuss your options upon inquiry.4. Studio pricing will be defined by our most recent pricing schedule. Finding an outdated pricing schedule does not entitle a client to outdated prices, nor does an incorrect price quote entitle a client to more services than were paid for. It is the client's responsibility to double check any price quote given to ensure it seems correct. If it is found that an incorrect quote was given for a piece before it is completed, the error will be explained to the client and the client will be presented with the options available to them. These options will generally include (but may not be limited to) paying the price difference which would allow the studio to complete the piece to the desired stage or a the offer of reaching a reasonable stopping point that does not leave the client with an unfinished piece of art or require any additional payment. Any price that was correctly agreed upon within the 2 weeks prior to a price change will be honored for an additional 2 weeks following the price change, unless a longer time period has been explicitly specified by the studio.5. Pricing is shown/quoted in USD, and payment should be submitted in USD as well.6. We generally accept payment via PayPal through the following quick-pay link:
RAS PayPal Quick Pay LinkInvoices are available upon request.If you require a different payment platform, please inquire about other options.
DEADLINES & REFUND POLICY1. If requested, deadlines can often be accommodated. If a requested deadline feels implausible or impossible for any reason, we will communicate that and allow the client to choose whether they would like to commission the piece with a longer deadline or withdraw the commission request entirely. We will respect either choice without question, just as we expect clients to respect when we must decline a requested deadline for any reason. Any deadlines must be addressed prior to officially placing any commission. We reserve the right to decline any and all deadlines communicated after a piece has been commissioned and placed into our queue.2. Once a requested deadline has been agreed upon, the studio will make every attempt to meet said deadline. However, we do still aim to receive client approval at each stage of a piece, which can cut down on pen-to-tablet time between the time of the order and the chosen deadline. Clients may be asked to choose in the ordering phase whether meeting the deadline or WIP approval is most important to them to help guide us if/when we have to choose between the two.3. A strict deadline must be necessitated by good reason (e.g. gifts, life events, business endeavors, etc.) and will only be considered under those circumstances. However, impatience cannot, in good faith, constitute reason, and abuse of the deadline system may result in the studio declining any future deadline requests from that client.4. Refunds will be considered in matters of extreme financial emergency, but only if a piece has not yet been started.5. Outside of extreme financial emergencies, refunds are not permitted unless the piece has not been started and it has been more than 5 months since payment in full was received.6. Once a piece has been started, refunds will not be considered under any circumstances.7. If a client chooses to abandon a piece for any reason (e.g. break-up, falling out with a friend, character has been sold, etc.) after it has been started, payment for the piece will be reduced by the amount of work already completed but remaining funds may be applied to a different commission.
COMMUNICATIONS & CORRESPONDENCE1. Communication regarding a commission is currently accepted in a variety of ways, some of which are more reliable than others.2. The safest and most reliable way to communicate with the studio about your commission is via email at [email protected], though it is not necessarily our preferred method.3. Other popular forms of communication with the studio include, but are not limited to, the Rancid Art Studio's Facebook page inbox, FurAffinity via note to Rancidious, or via our Discord server. More contact information can be found via our Contact Us section.4. Please consider that commission descriptions, references, and other various details may become lost or corrupted if/when accounts are deleted/deactivated. In such cases, it may be necessary to re-send such details.5. It is best, though not required, for clients to include an email address in early communication so that the studio has a fool-proof method of contact outside of less reliable, account-based websites.6. The studio will first attempt to send WIPs via a client's original or preferred (if noted) method of contact, and full-size, high resolution end-products will be delivered via Dropbox link using the same method as described above. It is the client's responsibility to then save the work locally, as Dropbox files may be deleted without prior warning.
RIGHTS, COPYRIGHT, & PERMISSIONS1. Unless otherwise agreed upon, all rights to studio artwork belongs to the studio and its artists.2. All rights to the intellectual property within a commissioned piece remain solely with their respective owners.3. The studio reserves the right to post the work as it deems fit, as well as reserving the right to choose not to post a piece without explanation. All intellectual property within a piece will be credited to its owner unless otherwise requested to keep that information private.4. The client may use the commissioned image for personal use only. Commissioned work may not be used for merchandise, reproduction, or any other commercial function without studio permission, and intent to use the work for such purposes should be disclosed prior to commissioning the piece.5. The studio reserves the right to charge an additional fee, require a percentage of sales, or outright decline a client's request to use commissioned work in a commercial capacity.6. Commissioned pieces may not be changed or edited in any way without explicit studio permission. The studio must always be credited when posting studio work. Clients are not permitted to trace, replicate, or otherwise take credit for the work in any way.7. If a client wishes for a commission to remain private (e.g. should be excluded from the studio's portfolio, cannot be posted to the studio's social networks or public sites, etc.), this intent must be made clear during the ordering process and will carry a privacy fee of 25% of the total cost of the commission.8. Private commissions are not permitted to be posted on public websites under any circumstances. If any portion of a private commission is found to be posted publicly by the client, the privacy agreement with the studio is effectively terminated without notification or refund of the privacy fee.
ADOPTABLES1. Adoptables, whether pre-made, mystery, or custom, become the intellectual property of the client upon purchase.2. Designs may be tweaked or changed in any way the client sees fit after purchase in future art; however, the original artwork must remain intact and unchanged.3. Such characters are permitted to be sold by the owner but must not be sold for more than the original price paid for the design and/or accompanying artwork.4. The studio must be credited for the design and original artwork when selling such a character, and it is the responsibility of the original client to make new purchasers aware of the crediting requirement when moving forward.
BASES & LINEART1. All studio lineart and bases are currently Patreon-exclusive and may not be shared with non-patrons for free or profit.2. Bases and lineart can be edited within reason via a client adding their own lines/edits.3. They can be used to make personal/gift art for the client and/or their friends without profit or to make adopts/commissions for profit.4. The RAS signature may not be removed for any reason, though it can be resized within reason or moved to a more aesthetically pleasing spot on the canvas.5. No one is permitted to use/post work on studio bases/lineart without credit to the studio.6. Use of studio bases/lineart to include hate symbols or express/imply any subject matter from the studio’s ‘Will Not Draw’ list is not allowed.7. Breaking any of the above rules may result in the offending client to be banned from access to and use of said bases and lineart moving forward.
PATREON1. We will make every attempt to complete all Patreon rewards, group or personal, by or before the pledged month’s end. However, in rare cases, delivery may be slightly delayed. When delays occur, patrons will be notified and rewards will still be completed and delivered in as timely a manner as possible, regardless of whether the patron continues to pledge at the end of that pledge month.2. Interaction on Patreon posts is highly appreciated and encouraged, though we do request that all interaction be kept polite and civil, especially in cases of bidding and/or limited slot claim.3. Patreon-exclusive content or early access content is marked as such. Sharing this content prior to official studio release is not allowed under any circumstances.4. Any patron found to be committing a blacklistable offense will be addressed in private. The offense will be described, giving the client one chance to potentially explain the action, provide necessary context, or clear up any possible misunderstanding. If the explanation does not sufficiently negate the offense, the client’s most recent pledge will be refunded (so long as there are outstanding rewards still owed), the client will be banned from Patreon, and all other blacklist restrictions (as described previously) will be applied. Studio decisions regarding these situations will be deemed official and final.For more information about Patreon, you can find it here: RAS Patreon
PICARTO STREAMS & DISCORD SERVER1. Both Picarto streams and our Discord server have their own similar sets of rules.2. Rules are clearly displayed, and we expect everyone to follow them in accordance.3. Breaking the rules within our Picarto streams or Discord server will be met with a three-strike system for less extreme infractions. However, more intense violations may be met with an immediate ban, and the most extreme situations could carry the penalty of a client’s full blacklisting as well.
