all following terms apply to my artwork, during the process of commissioning me, and to all designs I create.
commission me for artwork or a custom design!

🌱 Hello, I'm Strabi! 🌱
I like to draw cute things, anime, and ocs! (mostly ocs. expect lots of oc art)What keeps me going is my love for passion projects and storytelling and I want to extend and share this corner of the internet with those who’d like a little uplifting and fun in their lives too! Maybe you can even find something you resonate with!I’ve got my Oceania webcomic you can check out, and my Closed Species project Sealomimis over here too for anyone who likes collecting characters, gamifying creation, and collaborating with other fellow seal enjoyers. Currently, I’ve been binging on two other characters part of the Oceania universe: Silurian and Harper.🌱 basics 🌱

🌱before you interact 🌱- I enjoy speaking in a polite, casual, or playful manner, but I can also be kind of shy/reclusive at times between my enthusiasm. I use a lot of emojis/emoticons like :D- I can get very specific and overly wordy sometimes (sorry you might see this in my TOS lol). Sometimes it takes a whole conversation for me to be able to put something concisely.- Messages may take 24~72 hours to be replied to, it takes me some time to compose a response! If I leave you on read, I'm not ignoring you- I'm most likely just busy and will reply later!
🌱 boundaries 🌱- Please don't call me by pet names (dear, honey, sweetie, etc)- I'd prefer if we don't interact if you use slurs. If you feel comfortable reclaiming them, I will respect that, so please respect I don't feel comfortable with usage around me.- I'd prefer not to interact with people under 17 years of age. (Not strict if it's for business-related or necessary communication purposes, I'd just strongly prefer not to befriend.)- If you're a minor accessing, posting, or involving yourself in NSFW spaces, I will cut ties immediately, block, and inform others if necessary. I do not tolerate this whatsoever.
By buying, adopting, receiving any art from me, you are automatically agreeing to all the terms listed below. This is to ensure the safety of both me and the commissioner.When passing designs to secondhand owners, please make sure they are aware of my design TOS!You may reference my terms for your own TOS if it helps you out!
✦ Please claim/commission responsibly- do not bid or commission me if you cannot commit to it.✦ Payment upfront expected 24 hours after the invoice is sent before I start any commissions or transfer ownership of any designs. (Non-USD payment deadlines may be up to discussion.)✦ When I accept your commission, I will send a Paypal invoice link in a private message. If you have difficulty with invoice links, you can give your Paypal email in advance.✦ Additional fees may be charged before or mid-commission if you make requests for additional work or major edits that extends the time and scale of the project. These fees must be paid before commission work will continue, or the commission will be finished without including these additional requests.✦ Tips are optional, but always appreciated!✧ My commission prices are susceptible to changes at any given time.
✦ Refunds are not offered for commissions I have started or completed, nor do I accept returns for paid-off purchased designs.✦ A refund may be requested ONLY if I have not started your commission(s).✦ Any unsolicited chargebacks (or equivalent loss forced upon me) will result in cancellation of and revocation of rights to use any pending commissions, revoking of any involved adoptable designs, and a ban from my content. I reserve the right to recycle and reuse the chargeback affected content.✦ I retain the right to refuse service or cancel a WIP commission (with a refund) without a given reason.
✦ I retain the copyright over my art and work. I may use it for promotional purposes, portfolios, patreon rewards, share, and post my artwork however I see fit. I do NOT sell the copyright to my work.✦ Do not claim credit for my work. Please give credit where it's due.✦ The client will receive a non-commercial personal license to use the commissioned artwork by default. (Using for a profile picture, desktop background, decoration, etc.)✦ You may make SMALL edits to works you have commissioned or received from me. (Cropping, resizing, adding a background, filters, watermarks, etc.)
✧ Please ask for permission first if you want to make any major edits. (Redrawing, drawing over, coloring lineart, removing my signature, etc.)✦ If the depicted character is an OC, and the OC exchanges hands, you pass the license to keep/use the art for personal use to the new owner. Please do not continue using my art if you no longer own the OC.✦ You may not my work commercially without purchasing a commercial use license. Commercial use includes, but is not limited to, any monetary gain or promotional purposes.✦ Do not use my work for scams, AI use, or to promote hate or illegal content. Including but not limited to: minting/selling for NFT/crypto, uploading to AI or using for AI training, promoting harassment or illegal activity.
✧ My style tends to fluctuate a lot so please only commission if you're okay with potentially loose consistency! You're welcome to send me examples of my art if you want me to closely match a specific style of mine.✧ All my progress is recorded here on this Google Sheets.✦ Estimated turnaround time is about 1 day up to 2 months; or up to discussion with the client.✦ You will only receive digital files on completion. You will not receive physical copies. Please be sure to save all files upon delivery, I can't guarantee I can provide a copy at a later date.✦ Edits during WIP stages and minor edits to the final product are available. Please be upfront and honest if you want anything changed, because once I receive approval from you, any further requested edits that require major redraws (that would've been considered minor in a previous WIP) will incur an additional edit fee. If the edit fee is not paid by the spoken deadline or is rejected by the commissioner, the commission will be completed without the requested edit.
✧ WIPs of a commission will ALWAYS be provided if the client requests for WIPs. Otherwise, WIPs will be sent at my discretion, or may not be sent at all.✦ If I apply add-ons (that are usually charged) out of my own free will, you will not be charged for them.✧ Disclaimer: I put high priority for commissions, but I may occasionally do personal art and have other responsibilities to attend to first between commissions. If you would get uncomfortable by this, then please refrain from commissioning me.
🌱 BEFORE I START A COMMISSION:✧ I require a visual reference that is CLEAR, colored, and (preferably) depicting a full body. Please be sure to specify ALL details- artist notes, expressions, poses, etc- you want me to pay attention to in your initial request. Putting together any additional images/references/sketches to help convey your idea better is highly encouraged!
(*Purely written descriptions of a character counts as a custom design.)✧ I ask that any references provided do not depict NSFW or adult content. Plain nudity or barbie-doll nudity references are fine.✧ If you want to use your received commission for commercial purposes, please mention it and the scope of what you want to use it for in your initial request. Terms of a commercial license will be provided and must be agreed upon before payment. An additional commercial use fee will be charged.✧ If you would like me to keep your commission private and/or prioritized by a certain deadline, please mention it in your initial request. An additional NDA fee and/or rush fee may be charged.✧ If you want specific WIP stages to be sent to you for review, please mention it in your initial request.
✧ TLDR, you have all intellectual property rights to your owned design to do whatever you want with it (except the artwork, I retain copyright over it), I just ask you to:
- Give credit and not claim authorship of design creation.
- Not use my designs to cause or endorse harm on real people.
- Not scam people with my designs.
- Not duplicate/copy my designs, especially for profit.
- Purchase a full commercial license first if you want to make commercial profit with other people using your owned design.
✦ A toyhou.se account is not required to own a design made by me, but it is highly recommended; I would generally advise against deleting any attached TH profile as it will delete your verification of ownership. Please credit me on-site as Strabi if uploading to TH.
↳ I will not reaccept creator credits on a reuploaded profile unless if traceable ownership proof is provided. Please take caution if you buy/trade for a design that is not credited to Strabi or mayotsuki on-site.✦ Reselling, trading, or gifting your owned design is allowed at any time under your ownership. You may resell for a higher price than obtained for if you make or buy new artwork or other things of monetary value for them. However, please be courteous and do not resell free/gift work you receive.✦ If a design exchanges hands, you pass the license to keep and use the design and art for personal use to the new owner. If the design came with full commercial rights, the new owner will be passed the license. Please do not continue using the design or my art if you no longer own it.✦ Personal use is allowed. You can make an original character (oc) out of them, use the content they come with for non-profit personal use (eg, profile picture), and edit their story and info freely.
↳ You can freely redesign your owned design as long as it's still recognizable and I am always credited for the original design. I would recommend holding onto the original files for archival purposes and for any potential future owners.
↳ You can freely create alternate forms (Alt) and alternate universe (AU) designs, including ports to existing closed species (CS), but all forms MUST be kept together as they are the same character. This means you cannot make copies and sell/trade/gift them to other secondhand owner(s), and/or while also keeping the original or other derivatives– basically causing multiple people to own the same character. Redesigns also should not be split and redistributed as individual characters. (If you absolutely must separate derivatives that are different enough, please contact me to ask first!)
↳ You can make sibling/twin, parent/relative, or children designs for personal lore. If you're directly basing it on the original design, it can fall into duplicating a design territory, so asking for permission first is always appreciated. Any derivative family designs must be treated as extensions of and be kept together with the original design.✦ Commercial use rights for your owned design (design only, NOT my artwork) are intended and exclusive to the current singular owner of the design. A separate "full commercial rights" license is required if a commercial project involves distribution, sharing, or authorization of (full or partial) intellectual property rights with/to third parties where multiple people are expecting to be receiving profit or royalties generated from use of the design; examples of requiring one include getting a publisher contract for a webcomic/book/movie series, organizing with a manufacturer to make products to sell where they take a cut of the profit, sponsored/contract vtubing.✦ Feel free to contact me to ask questions if you have any!
🌱 DESIGN DO NOTS✧ Do not claim or omit credit for the original design.✧ Do not add extra rules restricting usage of the design when passing them to secondhand owners.✧ Do not make identical, heavily-based, "breedings/fusions" (this type of stuff) based on my designs to sell or give away. This includes creating a closed species group or a series of similar designs to sell without permission.
↳ Basically, as long as (1) you're not profiting from derivative designs by selling them as individuals and (2) treat derivative content as extensions of your owned design and do not separate them– making fusion concepts, family, or a species for your own personal lore is fine!✧ Do not feature my designs in sexual content with/for minors or promotion of hate speech/harm on real people in any real world context. This is not an endorsement of me and my artwork nor encouraged, and will lead to immediate blacklisting.✧ Do not use for any AI or AI training purposes.✧ Do not use my artwork for commercial, monetary, promotional purposes, including minting my works for cryptocurrency.
✧ I will never randomly revoke adopted designs. (The only case a revocation will occur is when a chargeback or an equivalent loss has been forced upon me.)✧ Stealing and redistributing any design I have created that you don't have the rights to will result in blacklisting and a ban from my work.
✧ Public Blacklist : My public blacklist only serves to inform parties who are looking to rehome my designs of whom I do not want my designs to be owned or edited by.✧ Blacklisted users MAY NOT receive any other existing design made by me. Once a design is no longer under their ownership, it CANNOT return to their ownership.
- Unless if a license was directly purchased, ANY commercial usage of my designs is forbidden.
- Designs CANNOT be redesigned or given alt/au forms by the blacklisted user, even if they do not own the design (ie, they cannot offer to redesign for you to keep). I had issues where blacklisted users have scammed others with these redesigns and I do not want that to happen again.✧ If you are blocked by or have me blocked, please don't seek out to obtain my designs!
🌱 Disclaimer: These terms are subject to updates at any time.
