Styles Portfolio (played by Sanne)

Hello everyone!

I've been wanting to obtain some artwork of a character, but can't financially compensate anyone at this time. I'm interested in doing a trade where I create a custom template for exclusive use by the person creating artwork for me.

My exclusive use templates are valued at €45 (approx $50 USD, £40, $72 AUD) and I would like to receive artwork of a similar value in exchange.

Interested? Awesome! Please check out the terms below and get in touch with me. :)

What you'll get:
  • A custom template that can only be used by you.
  • You get to pick a theme, images, fonts etc.
  • You get to specify what you want certain design elements to look like.
  • I will create a mock-up in Photoshop.
  • You get to request edits and/or approve the design.
  • The design will be coded and made mobile responsive.
  • After you finish your half of the trade, the template will be assigned to your account.

Some conditions:
  • I have the right to say no if you propose a trade but I don't feel your art style fits what I'm looking for.
  • Certain design elements are not possible or extremely time consuming to implement, and I may have to say 'no' to some of them if that's the case. I'll always do my best to make things work though.
  • The template will remain copyrighted to me just like the artwork you create remains copyrighted to you.
  • If you are rude or unreasonable throughout our exchange, or you fail to deliver your part of the trade, I'll withdraw from it and repurpose whatever I've made so far to be resold. (You have the same right to do this with your art of course.)
  • I will only use resources that are legal to use. That means you can't pick images off of Google and have me use them, you need to ensure you have permission for the images to be used this way. If you can't verify that you have this permission with me and I can't pick these resources for you, I'll have to cancel the trade.

Q: Can I have full ownership of the template?
The default option I'm going with is that the template continues to exist under my account (and will remain available to you forever) so that I can fix any issues that may exist. This also enables me to fine tune the template for you in case I missed something, and ensures that you can't accidentally mess anything up.

If you really want full ownership of the template then that's possible, but you waive all future support for code fixes and updates and you're 100% responsible for keeping a backup of the code and images yourself. The template will continue to be featured in my portfolio as it was when I handed it over to you, but no live versions besides yours will exist.

Still interested in doing a trade? Hit me up!
