Nodens

dark and fantasy illustrator, concept artist

Commission status: open booking slots for summer ✔

Greetings! My name is Nodens and I'm a freelance digital artist from Ukraine.
I mostly work on fantasy-related themes, character/creature design, environment and horror art.


Terms of service:
By ordering a commission you agree to the Terms of Service.
My commissions are digital illustrations for personal and non-commercial use. You need contact me for commercial inquiries. Commissions for commercial use require a contract and are not part of these TOS.
▸ I take full payment 100% after approve sketch and palette. I don't refund your money if you change your mind. But if I can’t finish art because of force majeure, I will refund all price.
▸ You can make unlimited edits on the sketch stage, and 3 edits after approve it. For another edits, an extra payment is charged about 15% of the total cost. I’m not going to make global changes (like the whole pose or the entire outfit) for free after the sketch, so please be specific.
▸ The deadline 1-2 months after payment, depending on the complexity of the work. It can be reduced for an additional fee 50% and I will do your art first in line.
▸ As author of artwork, I maintain the copyrights and I am allowed to use it (portfolio, social media, print store) unless we agree otherwise.
▸ You are allowed to use the artwork for profile pictures, banners, avatars, character charts, reference sheets, forums, roleplay etc, and print it for your personal use only. You are not allowed to sell copies of the artwork unless we agree otherwise.
▸ You will receive the artwork as a full resolution 300 dpi file and a smaller version with my watermark on it. To prevent art theft I strongly suggest using the watermarked version - it’s safer that way. Please contact me if you need any specific crop or size.
▸ I reserve the right to decline a commission or remove a client from the waiting line if they behave inappropriately towards me or in the comment section of my submissions.
▸ You can request more than one commission at once. If you’re getting a group commission, I’d appreciate it if the payment would be sent from one person.
Turning the artwork into NFT is forbidden. I forbid using any of my art for any doings with the help of AI and neural networks.
Payment:
I accept payment upfront via PayPal.
