Animated Loops/Emotes - key details

PROVIDING ARTWORK• I do not animate anything frame by frame.• I use either Live2D, After Effects or a blend of both for animation and effects.• File formats I work from include:
JPG / PNG / PSD
• I only ever draw to fix layering issues or to properly cut art into layers. I cannot add illustrative details to the sent artwork.
(I can't add clothing, a scenic background, etc. I will only use the image provided.)
PRE-LAYERED / LIVE2D ARTWORKPre-layered artwork (including Live 2D illustration) is not required.
However providing pre-layered and cut illustrations from your artist provides immense benefits:
• Price Discount.
• Up to 50-70% faster deliveries.• More authentic animations.I reserve the right to make small changes to the overall layering of the artwork and the ability to add things that would improve the overall animation quality. These changes will never drastically change the design or style of the artwork and are only for better functionality of the animation.ARTIST'S CONSENTBefore hiring me, you need to make sure that you have the original artist's consent and you have the right licensing/rights to the illustration for animation. There is no reliable way for me to check with every artist for permission.As the client you will:• talk to your artist directly and ask for their consent.• take full responsibility, if you did not ask for consent and the original artist speaks out against this commission.DELIVERY FORMATS• Animated Emotes:112px GIF for Twitch (Twitch automatically resizes for other devices)
GIF for Discord (less than 256kb)
• Animated IllustrationsGIF/MP4 files in original resolution (unless requested otherwise)REVISIONSOnce the animation is finished I can do small changes such as rig adjustments, speed of animation, adding tiny details I may have forgotten among other things.
In special cases, I can re-animate the given piece once for free, depending on the complexity and reason of the changes.
I won't completely re-animate commissions multiple times however, unless payment is sent for a second order.
The responsibility is on you to ensure your order contains the
details you want me to follow.
COPYRIGHTI own the animation.By commissioning me you're purchasing my services as an animator only.
I retain all copyrights over my work, which include but aren't limited
to the right to:
• redistribute, reproduce or use it as a sample for self-promotion, unless otherwise agreed upon.• reserve the right to use rejected animation concepts for any future projects, be it personal or otherwise.Please read my full TOS for info on payment, licensing etc.
