Ok, so after an individual who I will not name here, (I'm NOT mad at them.) had told me that they had started coloring a sketch that they had recently commissioned me to do for them. I had to do some thinking as to what my policy moving forward would be regarding things like this.
This was already part of my TOS, but I want to make sure it is clear and understandable that no alterations can be made to an image that I produce. (With the exception of cropping for an avatar or icon.) Unless it is a paid for alteration that is done through me. No other artist may make alterations to my work without permission.
This includes, COLORING IN MY SKETCHES. If you wish to have a sketch colored. You must do it through me. Otherwise, don't color it at all.
I realize that won't stop some people from trying, but this will be a part of my TOS from now on.
I apologize if I come off as the A-Hole here. But I do feel like it is necessary to clarify this.
Thank you for understanding. Please let me know if you have any questions I can clarify.
