 I'm having a dispute with someone and I want to ask, If someone commissions me to draw a character(by description)+(creative liberty) does that mean they designed the character or I did?
(No previous art pieces, I am the one who created the first image of character) I'm genuinely wondering, I feel like giving me creative liberty gives me at least some rights to the design of the character? Total Votes: 18

Personally I think you designed it because they asked you to make it. You made the character come to life. |

They came up with the concept and you brought it to life so it's really just your views as an artist |

Also you added a little stubble and other things. So therefore, you designed it. All in my opinion though!! |

They designed the character in the first place. The idea, description and general idea + personality is the original person's design. They reached out to you as a means to give that description a physical face. Creative liberties taken by you solely exist in your piece of artwork.
If they didn't reach out to you, you would have no problem either way.
So, in all entirety, just because you had a bit of creative liberty in one piece drawn, it does not give you creative rights to the design, etc of the character. They may not even use different picks or pieces of the art piece you drew. |

Oh no no, I don't mean I own it nor do I own any bit of the character.

Either way, it still really doesn't matter. A description is a design of a character. |

They commissioned you to draw someone based on words. You are the artist of the custom design. They're the owner of the character. Your Terms can be anything related to the design itself. |

You designed the character. I have never seen anyone credit themselves for a custom character design they've bought |

I mean it's a custom basically. So yeah, you are the design creator, character creator (personality and stuff) nah. If it's uploaded on toyhouse definitley be marked as the designer for sure. |
