Terms of Service

I will try to provide regular updates on your order; however, this is not a guarantee (Unless it is a reference sheet, then you may get quite a few updates at once). You are more than welcome to ask for an update. Please do not repeatedly ask for an update every day. I try to respond to all messages within 24 hours.You can check my Trello for updates on your commission. I try to keep it updated, but sometimes I may work through several steps and suddenly it's marked as completed.Unless otherwise established (ie merchandise, large commissions, Acts of God, illness, injury) your commission will be finished within 3 months (90 Days), or you will be refunded.(As a note, I tend to work on commissions in the early mornings during the week. I do not expect you to respond at 7 AM, but a timely response is greatly appreciated.)

You MUST have a reference sheet of your character.

You MUST have a unwatermarked, unshaded digital visual reference for your character. If there are specific markings, points of interest, etc, please bring them to my attention.Written references, Second-Life/VRChat images, AI-generated images, and low-quality images will not be accepted. If you require a reference sheet, I will gladly provide one for you for an additional cost.Your reference sheet must also include the character's species (or, you can tell me). This helps me ensure that your commission is accurate to your character.(For reference sheets, written references and notes are accepted. AI-generated images are not permitted.)

Payment

A quote is in no way binding, nor are they an affirmation that your commission has been accepted. Quotes are valid for thirty (30) days. Prices and quotes are subject to change.
Pricing does NOT include the cost of shipping physical products unless otherwise stated. Shipping costs will be determined prior to invoicing.

Upon acceptance of a commission, you will receive a Square invoice to your preferred email. This invoice MUST be paid in full before work can begin. You only need to provide an email and a name; you do not have to make an account!I do not accept cash, money orders, checks, gift cards, or non-Square methods of payment for online orders. Trades are only accepted when initiated by myself, on a case-by-case basis.Unless otherwise previously discussed (ie waiting for a paycheck or for money to be transferred), all payments MUST be made within 72 hours of invoicing. Failure to make payment will result in cancellation of your commission, and potentially blacklisting from future commissions.Sales tax will be applied for all physical item commissions, In-Person Events, and orders placed in Missouri as required by law.

Chargebacks and Refunds

Artists are not banks! Please be sure you are in a financially secure position to commission.If your commission has not been started after 90 days (unless previously dicussed), you are eligible for a refund based on completion:Unstarted: 100% Refund
Sketch: 70% Refund
Flats: 50% Refund
Shading/Background: No refund available

If you file a chargeback during or after the commission process, you will be blacklisted from all future commissions and purchases from The Vixen's Brush. In addition, I reserve the right to use the artwork for a YCH (Your Character Here) auction or as a base to recoup costs and fees.If you are found using work after a chargeback, legal action WILL be taken, up to and including a DMCA Takedown notice.Finally, you may have any direct messages shared publicly in a form of an "Artists Beware", community posts designed to warn other about scams and abusive behavior.
(Personal information, such as addresses or payment information will not be shared).

Copyright and Usage

Copyright of all non-commercial artwork will be retained by me.

By commissioning me, you are not purchasing the rights to the artwork created for commercial use, including but not limited to use as branding, merchandise, NFTs, or other promotional sales. You may not commission me with the intent of using said work for NFTs or to run through AI generation programs (ie. Stable Diffusion, etc). Clients who are found to interact with AI Generation programs will be blacklisted, and information regarding these clients (such as screen names) may be shared with other artists (payment information, addresses, and other personal information will not be shared).Basically, if you're into AI technology with the intent of profiting off of my work or avoiding payment (such as commissioning a sketch to have an AI color in), you will be blacklisted and are not permitted to commission me.If you wish to profit off of commission work, you may contact me about purchasing commercial image rights. This includes manufacturing merchandise with my artwork, selling prints, etc. (Using art for Twitch, an icon or banner, or whatever does not apply to this, however credit is required.)I reserve the right to display commissioned work on any personal website, gallery, portfolio, or social media for self-promotion. I also reserve the right to not display your commission. I do not resell completed commission work.You may upload commissioned work to your website or gallery, use as a profile picture, or use as a banner with FULL CREDIT to myself (meaning, with a link to my social media or website). Any high-resolution or un-watermarked version must never be uploaded; this is for the commissioner's use only. I also have the right to request otherwise.(Shit, you have the right to print it and put it on your wall, set it as your desktop wallpaper, pay $40 to show it in Times Square, literally do whatever, just don't make money off of it)You are not to upload pieces to online galleries such as e621 (and e621 mirrors), Derpibooru, etc (mostly because there is a conditional DNP in place).Ownership of the characters depicted remains with the owner or any involved parties.Ignorance or failure to adhere to this condition result in legal action, including but not limited to, a DMCA takedown.You are not permitted to use my artwork as outlined above. However, you can do whatever with the design, as long as I'm credited for the design! Make it your mascot, make merch, get a fursuit made, do whatever.Please do not buy an adopt with the sole intention of reselling it for more than you paid. (Reselling an adopt that has artwork, other custom items, etc. is fine)For fursuit makers who wish to use an adopt for a pre-made fursuit, please contact me regarding a licensing agreement. (I'd love to work with you on not just a ref sheet to go along with the fursuit!)And of course, I love seeing what you do with them!

I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.

I may refuse or cancel your commission at any time for any reason. In instances where I initiate a refund, you will receive a full refund regardless of how much work has been completed.I will refuse service for:
Discrimination or hate speech; abrasive or rude behavior; pro animal/child abuse; affiliation with dangerous ideologies (ie. anti-vax, anti-lgbtq+, nazi/neo-nazi, etc), harassment & death threats.
You will never be refused service on the basis of race, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. (You may be refused service for being under 18, as outlined above)Basically, don't be abusive or a jerk, and we're good.

Will / Will Not Draw List

This is not comprehensive. YCHs and other commission slots may have additional stipulations. Please read them! If there's something you're unsure about, just ask! I will not judge you if you're into these sorts of things, but please respect what I will not draw.

Let me have this.You will also get a slight discount for your anthro sona doing the same thing, but I am a shitposter at heart

I will also not reach out via Instagram or Tiktok. Always DM me on Telegram if you're unsure if an account is legitimate!

Welcome! This page showcases all that we have to offer for conventions.UPDATED: August 1st, 2024Since 2014, we've made SFW artwork, merchandise, and fursuit accessories for the furry fandom.

Booth Photos

NOTE: We’re working on a new booth layout! (See first image) We are currently working on expanding our branding and making this booth a fun, colorful, and furry space! We kinda went “Huh, we’ve got WAY more stuff now” and expanded significantly.We usually prefer a 10x10 booth if available. Otherwise, we are capable of working with two side-by-side tables for both fursuit parts and merchandise, or just 1 table for only merchandise. We’re pretty flexible when it comes to spacing.

Ascent from Calamity

" Fate could stand to be turned upside down, I think. "" Y'know what? Yeah. Fuck fate. "


A great evil is afoot. King Hakkai Dragemyr knows it has something to do with him...and he wants nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, the neighboring kingdom of Alefos doesn't believe in his desire for peace.Captain Matthew Syuusei knows he's destined to slay the evil Demon King. But in this era of peace, he's tired of being reminded of his duty as his goddess' Chosen.
He's just counting down the days until he doesn't have to hear about the neighboring kingdom of Obrusa ever again.
This story has been written before. Hakkai and Matthew grew up listening to this story over and over again.But maybe that story isn't written in stone.

Ascent from Calamity is an 18+ Furry BL webcomic loosely inspired by D&D and Legend of Zelda.

TW: This comic contains mentions and depictions of homophobia, transphobia, and abuse.
