These Terms of Service govern the relationship between Deblaria ("Artist") and the Client who commissions artwork. By engaging the Artist's services, the Client agrees to these terms.

Commission - Commission is a request for a custom piece of artwork or design created by an artist for a specified fee. The client provides specific guidelines or themes for the artwork, and the artist produces a unique piece based on those instructions.

WIP - WIP, or Work in Progress, refers to an incomplete piece of artwork that an artist is currently developing. These pieces will be shared with the client to provide insight into the artistic process or to receive feedback before finalization.

OC - An abbreviation from Original Character is a unique fictional character created by an individual, distinct from existing characters in established media. OCs are often used in storytelling, role-playing, or as part of artwork and are defined by their own traits, backstories, and designs.

Custom - A custom design is a tailored artwork or concept created specifically to meet a client's requirements. This can include character designs, illustrations, logos, or any other form of visual art that reflects the client's vision and specifications.

Adoptables - Adoptables are original character designs that an artist creates and offers for sale or trade. Buyers can "adopt" these characters, gaining ownership of the design and the right to use them in various ways, such as in personal stories, role-playing, or artwork. Adoptables are often presented with a unique backstory and personality.

YCH - An abbreviation from "Your Character Here", a type of artwork where a template containing a theme, poses, background or different features is already pre-defined, leaving space for a buyer to insert their own original character (OC).
