DM for more info

a. the prices are determined by the complexity of the design, hence the price range
b. anything used for commercial purposes (mass reproduction, printing, or physical distribution of any kind) will be multiplied with a commercial charge of 150-300%, depending on the complexity of the design, and scale of commercialisation
c. MYR prices are only applicable to Malaysian clients

FAQsWhat is included?
PNGs or a ZIP/RAR file containing all the files. It will be directly sent to you through DMs on social media or e-mail.
How long does a commission take?
Depending on complexity, order quantity, and my full time job load. Can range from a few days to maximum of a month.
Where to contact you for commissions?
Discord (zethz161) or Twitter (@ZethZ161). Just state that you want to commission a design from me and we will discuss about the details.
I might miss your message so please bump again if I do not reply within 1 or 2 days, bots been going crazy so I have anti-spam filters on...

Terms & ConditionsI only accept commissions through my Discord or Twitter. Nowhere else.
This is to make sure that all requests go to one place and I can check all of them at once without missing any commissions. It's also easier for me to stay in contact with the client.

A deposit of 50% of the final price must be paid after first draft has been provided.
This helps avoid the situation of the clients not paying for my work after I hand them in, and also helps avoid the situation of me taking the money and run away with it. The remaining 50% will be paid once I have handed in the final work to the client.

The deposit will NOT be refunded if the order is cancelled before completion.Payments are to be made using ONLY PayPal or Touch 'n Go E-Wallet (for Malaysia clients).

I remain the rights to reject any commissions if I don't feel comfortable working with it.
This is to ensure my integrity as a designer, and also help maintain the quality of my design handed out to my clients.
I remain the rights to share the work on my portfolio and social media unless the client has made mutual agreements to not share the work publicly.

!! MOST IMPORTANTLY !!
DO NOT USE ANY OF MY WORK FOR AI TRAINING, AND YOU ARE IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM SUPPORT AI GENERATED ARTWORKS. If you do, please do not ever contact me for anything graphic related, you will not be entertained. I will also have the rights to immediately terminate any works on hand and pull out any work that I've done for said project.
