Email me at [email protected] if you have any questions.
This is my general Terms of Service. I will also include one in your invoice with only the sections relevant to your commission along with any changes made based on our discussion of said commission.
Process
- You fill in this order form.
- I send you an acceptance email, ask for clarification or additional references if needed
- If you've given a written reference we can discuss an extra design fee (please check this page for more information).
- If you're commissioning an illustration at this point I'll give you a quote and we can discuss further details.
- Once all the details are settled I send you a PayPal invoice and when that is paid I start on the commission.
- For most regular commissions I'll send you 2-4 initial idea sketches to choose from. I might send more wips (works in progress) as I continue but these are the only ones you're guaranteed to get unless you specifically ask for more.
- I don't send sketches for sketch or experimental commissions, you'll only get the final product.
- I might reuse the posing/composition of any sketches you don't choose for other unrelated art. If you want to save one to commission in the future let me know and I can offer a discount for that time!
- You choose which sketch you want me to go forward with and check for anything you want changed. After you give me approval I move on to finishing it.
- I send you the final image and you let me know if there's anything you want changed.
- Revisions for aspects of the design that I've missed are free.
- You can get up to 2 free minor changes. What counts as a minor change depends on the image but here's a few examples of what could count as a minor change:
- A subtle change of expression
- Color change in a flat area (as opposed to color change of a detailed pattern)
- A small change in hairstyle
- Any larger or further changes we can negotiate an additional fee to do.
You Receive
For digital commissions the final files will be sent over email and will include:
- A small resolution file of the final drawing with my watermark (ideal for posting)
- A large resolution file of the final drawing
For traditional commissions the scanned and cleaned images will be sent over email and will include:
- A small resolution cleaned scan of the final drawing with my watermark
- A large resolution cleaned scan of the final drawing
- I'm currently not offering traditional commissions to be sent by mail, these will be digital files only
Turnaround
- The turnaround time from invoice payment to receiving the final files is usually 1-3 weeks.
- If you need the commission by a certain date let me know! I'll do my best to accommodate you but may charge a rush fee if the timeline is too short.
- If I anticipate it that it will take longer for any reason I'll let you know and give you an updated turnaround estimate. I'll also send more wips as I make progress.
- If I take over 2 months without showing wips you can cancel your commission and get a full refund regardless of what stage I'm at with it.
Cancelation and Refunds
- Any refunds will not include money lost through the paypal transaction fee.
