In late August, I got hired to a day job working at a restaurant.
This job schedules me at inconsistent days and hours, which alters how I approach commissions.
Please check the schedule tab on the navigation for my work times and turnaround estimates regarding commissions.

Pay me to draw so I can restock on Spaghettios (and other things!)

Previous Projects:
WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition

My name is Jessie Clarey-Berthiaume. I’m a freelance artist located in Minnesota. When I’m not making art, I’m assisting my roommates with fostering various cats and helping them find good homes.I grew up watching lots of traditional animated films and shows. The way the crews took simple art techniques to create the illusion of life to 2D drawings has always been magic to me, and I strive to capture that and pass it forward in my work.

  • Cash, crypto, eChecks, check by mail and cash are not acceptable forms of payment.

- Client Cancellations & Refunds -

  • You (the Client) can request to cancel your commission at any time, for any reason.

  • Refund amount is reflected by how much work was completed on the piece.

  • If payment is not received within three (3) days of sending the invoice, and no word or agreement beforehand was given for it, your commission will be voided and removed from the Wait List.

  • Refunds are not given on commissions that have been completed.

- Artist Cancellations -

  • As the Artist, I reserve the right to cancel a commission or project at any time, for any reason.

Process

- General Commission Process -

I take a limited amount of commissions each time I open. These are called “slots” and you (the Client) get your name filled into one when you are accepted. There’s a specific process that goes into getting one.

  • I take commissions via Google Forms. They remain open for one (1) week and then I go through them and pick ones to accept. You are not guaranteed a commission slot by submitting a form. If you are not picked you can try again next time.

  • Clients selected are reached out via the contact method put on their form to discuss their commission. Once their slot is secured, they are added to my Trello waitlist. Once every slot is filled, I will begin working on commissions.

  • Clients do not pay until I'm ready to start their commission. I will approach via message before sending the invoice and will not start it until it is paid.

  • Limited WIPs are sent to keep things moving.

  • Once the completed piece is OK'd by the client, their files are uploaded and forwarded via Google Drive link or DeviantArt Sta.sh.

- Requirements on Order Form -

  • Your Email, to send the invoice. (Required).

  • Preferred contact method for updates. (Required).

  • Reference Sheet and/or Descriptions of your Character.

  • Reference Photos/Pictures and/or Descriptions of setting, mood, and tone of the piece.

  • Some general permission things, such as if you want it to be public or private/NDA, whether or not I am OK to stream, etc.

To ensure the accuracy of your commission, enter all necessary details within your Order Form. Artistic liberty and changes will be taken for areas that are not addressed. These details will be discussed before I begin your commission.

- YCH / Adoptable Process -

YCHs and Adoptables are released in sets and payment is taken upon sale. Adopt files are sent once the invoice is paid. YCHs are worked in a steady rotation after payment until every single slot is complete.

  • YCHs and Adoptables are first come first serve. It will be noted in the description post if I do holds.

  • Payment is taken upfront upon claim.

  • YCH batches are assigned to 'groups' and worked in rotation. Group A one day, Group B next day, and so on. WIP checks are sent when each YCH in a 'group' is ready for one. This ensures no one's YCH falls too far behind.

  • I resort 'groups' throughout the process based on client response time, so no need to worry about slow responders potentially impacting your own order.

  • Finished YCH pieces are delivered via Google Drive link or DeviantArt Sta.sh. Adoptables are also attached to the invoice sent out.

- Turnaround Times & Scheduling -

  • I work inconsistent days and hours at my day job (restaurant). As such, days I schedule for commission work can change from week to week. See the Schedule tab in the page navigation for my hours and turnaround estimates.

  • Turnaround time is usually within four (4) months unless deadlines or expectations are discussed. If something happens where they take longer than that, it will be communicated, and extra artwork or partial refunds may be offered to make up for the wait.

  • WIP checks and messages are responded to during work hours. If it is not an emergency, I will not reply outside of my work hours.

  • NOTE ON YCHS - The first few days of a YCH set are slow as they are mostly spent replying to inquiries and sending invoices. Wait at least three (3) business days. I usually start having updates for users then.

MINIMUM price increase is 300% of the original price (triple the base sum). I reserve the right to charge more if I deem fit, however.The following is considered commercial use:

  • Reproducing and selling the Artwork (publicly or privately) on things such as merchandise (shirts, stickers, prints).

  • It is expected that you (the Client) also refrain from posting such spoilers yourself when making a privacy request.

  • NDA fee scales with the order at +100% the base price of the order. The bigger the work, the higher the fee.

  • I reserve the right to charge a fee if I deem it fit to do so.

If you want your commission to be private, then you must state so during the ordering process.

  • For commissions, I may use the Artwork to promote myself by posting it on websites or using it to attract more commissions. I will not, however, sell the work or use it for profit in any way.

  • For adoptables, rights to the design carry over to the buyer once transferred to you (the Client).
