Commission Process

Thank you for taking me into consideration for your creative needs! Below is a general outline of what to expect while commissioning me.

1. Inquire about availability
Send me an email at [email protected] to ask if I'm open for work. Please be sure to mention what type of commission you're interested in, in your email.

2. Describe your desired commission and receive a quote
Provide me with character references, descriptions, ideas, etc, for your commission. After this, I will give you a price for the commission.

3. Pay for the Commission
After artist and client have agreed on the price, I will send you an invoice via PayPal.

4. Wait for and Approve Sketch
After I receive payment, I will sketch out your commission for you. This is called a Work in Progress(or WIP). You will give feedback and let me know if anything needs to be adjusted or corrected. After approval, I will move on with lining, coloring, shading, and so on.

5. Approval Final Illustration
Finally, I will present the final product to you for your approval. Minor edits can be made at this point, but not large edits such as pose or character changes. After this, errors and minor changes will be done for free for 2 weeks.
Following this period, fixes and changes may incur a fee depending on complexity.
