He also assures to be the owner of the rights necessary to the exploitation of all the creative textual and iconographic elements supplied by him to Laura GIRAUD within the framework of her mission, and guarantees Laura GIRAUD against any third party complaint relating to the violation of the rights of these elements.

Com. art L. 441-6, al.2 modified by the law of May 15, 2001). Any delay in payment may give rise to late payment penalties payable without reminder, at the rate of 10% of the total invoice per month of delay (Fight against late payment / Article 53 of the NRE Law), as well as a fixed penalty of 40€ (C. Com. art. D441-5). Payments by bank transfer or by check to the order of Laura GIRAUD. No discount in case of advance payment.

Any additional work to the execution of the service, which is not explicitly written in the fields "Type + Description" of the quote, will require an additional quote or a rider.

Contact

To order, you only need to first contact me directly via email (laura.l.giraud@jacknorisk.art) or through private messages via my social networks. First of all is to see if the illustration is doable and if I'm available to produce it. If so, I'll make you a cost estimation. I reserve the right to decline your order at my discretion.

Price and payment

In order of making the best quote estimation possible, it's recommended to describe exhaustively the elements you wish to be in the illustration, such as: the number of characters, their character sheet or, failing that, a complete description (it's recommended to support it with example pictures), if you want a bust shot or a full body shot, which background, which ambiance... Any detail, added past estimation and/or the service payment, may involved additional costs. If you wish to use the illustration for commercial uses, you'll need to state is upfront.

If you agree with the estimation, a quote will be send to you via email, with all the service details. You'll need to sign it before proceed to the payment.

The currency is euro (€). Payment may be done via Paypal or bank transfer. If I take your request when we meet in events, I can also accept cash payment. Due date payment are accepted. No advertising, trades or services are accepted.

Group illustration, out of YCH (your character here), shall be grouped to one debtor. Each participant will be specified in the quote for the rights and uses.

Work in progress

While working you'll receive work in progress regularly. Those WIPs are shared so you can do possible feedbacks and rectifications. There's nothing wrong to make these feedbacks, the point is to you to like the finale picture. Do them.

Significant edits, such as: composition, pose, clothes... Must be reported before the lineart or coloration is started (depending of the commission type you've asked). Afterwards, only tiny aspects may be corrected, besides wrong charadesign. Too many edits or major edits will result in a rider.

Without answer from the client, on a two month period after the last WIP was sent, the order will be considered as finished, out of specific context.

Delivery

Once the order finished, the client will received an "HD" file (png, jpeg, TIFF...) and a "WEB" file with the signature of the artist. You can post the WEB version online, as long as the largest side does not exceed 1800 pixels and is followed with the author mention (Laura.L Giraud and/or Jack Norisk) on the material support or web page where it is shared.
Once delivered, there can't be additional edits. Photoshop and Clip Studio files are not shared.

For traditional works, the price includes the original. You'll have to pay the sending cost only, for some cases: also the material price. In case of postal lost you should fill a complaint with the concerned postal service. The artist will accompany you in the process. An insurance on your shipment is available upon request for an additional cost.

Delay

If the completion date is over a month (besides answer delay between WIPs) the order is considered as "delayed". In the case where you have been warned about this mishap and that an agreement have been made, the process stay the same. Otherwise, you can ask an arrangement to be made to accommodate both parts.

Respect

When signing a quote or paying an advance or the full price, you accept to discuss and debate in a rational way. We are humans not machines, be polite, patient and tolerant of opposite views. No subject relating to politics or religion should be addressed. Furthermore hate speech, sexism, phobic speech and harassment are not tolerated.

►What is the difference between a "Simple, "Mid" and "Complex" commission ?

A "Simple" commission is close to a sketch. There are few values, lights and shadows or not a all. A "Mid" commission has a clean lineart and a minimum of lights, shadows and some details. And finally, the "Complex" one is a full detailed illustration with extensive details, without lineart.
