Commission process:
1.) Send in the details of your commission, along with your references. If you don't have a full reference for your character, images from Google are acceptable (eg. Asking me to come up with a unique design based off various outfits and styles you found on the Web.) Pure text descriptions /references have a lower chance of being accepted, depending on how much details are given or how much freedom you'll give me when coming up with a design. Please take note that I charge additional fees for major design revisions, so I highly recommend you to provide at least a few reference images, especially if you have a more specific concept in mind.
2.) Once everything has been approved and prices are all set, I'll mark your commission as "Accepted."
3.) I'll show a very rough concept sketch (mostly applies to "full body" and more complicated slots in general.) Once you have approved the sketch, at this stage you are advised (but not required) to make the payment. This is to ensure you that your commission is being done in a smooth pace, without delay. (Please read Step 4 for further explanation.)
3.) I'll show the final sketch, then the finished line art. At this stage, I'll ask if there are any revisions to be made. Minor revisions and ONE major revision are free or charge; subsequent major revisions will cost 5% of the total commission cost.
4.) Important: At this stage, you are required to make the payment. Please be aware that I will NOT proceed working on the commission until the job is in "Paid" status, for security reasons. Failure to pay 1 week during this stage will result in your commission being "on hold." If there is a second commission on the wait list, that commission will then be prioritized.
5.) Once the line art has been approved, I'll also send in a W.I.P (work-in-progress) piece showing the base/flat colors. Once everything has been approved, I will start working on the details and shading.
6.) I'll deliver the final artwork. At this point I can make small adjustments to the art, just in case I missed a few details. Once you are satisfied with the art, move the job to "Completed" to claim your artwork (without the watermark!) Also keep in mind that some file formats (such as .zip) will only be uploaded once the job is in Completed status.
Additional information:
1.) You as a client are free to use your commissioned art however you want for personal and non-commercial use only. All commission base prices are for non-commercial use only.
2.) I reserve the right to post all commissioned art on my website/portfolio, or this site as "sample artwork." If you prefer to opt out from this, kindly let me know. Art displayed publicly will be watermarked to ensure that only you, the client, would have access to the original file.
3.) And of course, never claim my artwork as your own. You are free to edit the artwork (except for my signature) as long as you still credit me for the original artwork..
4.) The "estimated turnaround" days will only be applied once I've started on your artwork. The "accepted" status is usually an indication that I'm about to work on your art, but is not always the case.
5.) Prices are subject to change without prior notice.
6.) Only applies to people who have still not paid for their commission: Even if my slots work on a "first come, first served" basis, failure to reply / confirm the commission within 3 days will result into your name being bumped down the wait list. I will then proceed on working on the next commission on the list. Your commission will only be prioritized once you've confirmed your interest in the commission.
7.) I may charge additional fees for extra elements such as large companions/pets, complicated clothing/designs, large and detailed weapons, and extra background elements, to name a few.
If you have any more questions, feel free to send me a message.
