✦ Videography ✦
In late 2024, I took the leap to start developing my skills in videography. I highly enjoyed learning video editing in college and finally began making my own videos!All videos are available to watch early on my Patreon and Ko-fi, with some exclusive vids. Public videos will be available on my YouTube channel.I hope to expand to gaming, video essays, and more - all with the goal to learn how to work in a different medium, and also to catalogue or journal my creative process and life. I think it's highly valuable to have something so tangible to look back on.
✸ About the Artist ✸
Hello! I'm Max Hamilton aka 'Dracononite', a disabled, nonbinary and butch lesbian artist from North Carolina. I grew up mainly in the Outer Banks area and have a fondness for the eastern coast ocean, forests, and barrier islands.I graduated with an Associate's in Advertising & Graphic Design in 2019 and have worked full-time as an artist since high school, including to put myself through college. I currently support my partner and I, and our dog Billie, with my artwork.I specialize in custom illustration and character design commissions. I started designing merch in 2022 and officially refreshed my brand in 2024, with the aim to create more original artwork and designs that represent my identity and values. My personal artwork is inspired by the world around me and otherness, self-love, and the universe. It celebrates the intersection of magic and the mundane.When I find the time to work on my personal projects, I enjoy worldbuilding, speculative biology, and writing. My other hobbies include games (farming, simulation, sandbox, and creature collecting), web design, card collecting, and scrapbooking.I use the Huion H610 Pro tablet and MediBang Paint Pro.

✦ Commission Contract ✦
Overview
This Commission Contract's ("contract") purpose is to outline binding terms between Max Hamilton Arts (operator of Dracononite, "me/my," "I"), and users of my Services ("you," "client") that purchase custom illustration commissions ("commission," "art," "artwork") from me.
By entering into a commission contract with me, you state that: 1) you agree to my [Art Terms of Service] and [Legal Terms and Privacy Policy], 2) that this contract is legally binding, 3) that you are an adult 18 years or older, and 4) that you understand this contract applies per each piece of commissioned artwork, and does not establish an exclusive work relationship.
I reserve the right to update this contract at my discretion. Changes to this contract will be effective immediately upon posting the updated terms, and will apply to all commission contracts going forward.
I reserve the right to refuse to enter a contract and to cancel active contracts at any time.
I am required by law to apply sales tax to my Services. Listed prices of commissions do not include sales tax. The North Carolina sales tax rate is 7%.
Commissions include specific permissions of usage. You can find these outlined in my [Art Terms of Service]!
Payment Terms
Payment for commissioned artwork is accepted via invoice through Paypal or Stripe. I accept USD, including currency conversions. You will need to provide your Paypal or Stripe email for invoicing.
Payment must be provided upfront and completed in full before I begin working on your commission. Payment plans may be discussed per client, in which I will require a downpayment of at least 25% of the total price (including sales tax) and may not exceed a month-long (four week) timeframe.
If payment is not received within: ten days of invoicing for single-payment contracts, or by the agreed-upon deadline for payment plans, then the commission contract will be canceled and your slot revoked. Any payment sent for payment plans will be refunded as soon as I'm able.
Private and/or unposted commissions, major edits in later stages of the commission process, additional print-friendly file versions, and deadline requests, will each enact an upcharge of 30% the quoted price.
Commission Process
A clear visual reference of the subject(s) is required for illustration work - written descriptions and "patchwork" refs are accepted for design work only.
I am happy to work with creative freedom, but if you have particular details in mind for the commission such as pose, outfit, background, etc. please feel free to provide a summary of your ideas either when you first reach out to commission me, or when I ask if you have any requests.
Works-in-progress will be sent to the client throughout the commission process for approval and edit requests. You are allowed to ask for updates and changes at any time. I offer one free total re-sketch of a commission at the sketch stage, after which major edits will enact an upcharge.
"Redlining" or drawing over a work-in-progress by the client is acceptable to show specific edits, however please keep in mind that you are commissioning me for my art style. I do not accept requests to emulate particular art styles for commission work.
Turnaround time for most commissions is estimated between 1-3 months, with consistent communication expected throughout from both parties. Clients will be notified of any major delays in turnaround time. I work Monday-Friday with varying hours, and will usually not check or answer business correspondence on weekends. You must notify me of any deadline requests upon initial discussion of a commission.
A Commission Contract is completed upon the approval of the finished commissioned artwork by the client, and the transfer of all pertinent artwork files.
Cancellation Terms
Cancellations may be requested by the client or issued by me at any time during the commission process. Cancellation of a contract will include a refund of payment. A 'kill fee' will be deducted from the issued refund equal to the amount of work already completed, as seen below:▷ Not started: client will receive a complete refund
▷ Sketch: client will receive a refund of 70% the total price
▷ Lineart/Color/Render: client will receive a refund of 30% the total priceNo refund will be issued if the commission has been completed. Tips are non-refundable. Clients will not be granted usage permissions to any commissioned artwork which contract has been canceled, no matter the state of completion.

For lineart bases, please do not link my account in the artist credits on Toyhouse - simply putting my username in the image description is enough. If you advertise adoptables made on my lineart bases online, feel free to tag me in the post!
