Commission Process
1.) Requesting a commission:
Request your artwork providing character and pose references. If you have any other artistic considerations, please mention them as well.
2.) Drafting phase:
I will make a rough draft of the artwork and send it to you within a day. I may provide multiple drafts to choose from.
3.) Confirming draft:
After the composition is confirmed, please send half of the commission fee as down payment before I start rendering the full image. I will periodically check in with the artwork to make sure progress is satisfactory.
4.) Confirming final image:
Completion time will vary on my real life obligations, but depending on the item it can take anywhere between 1-2 weeks. When the artwork is complete, I will ask for the other half of the payment before sending high-resolution files.
5.) Commission complete.
Finished commissions are for personal use only. Please credit me by linking back to this site.

| Character | Describe or send reference photos of the character you would like me to draw. Outfit complexity will be considered into the cost of the final product. There will also be an additional service cost for designing characters from scratch. |
| Pose | You can use stock images or websites such as QuickPoses for better commission accuracy. |
| Background | Simple backgrounds include color blocks or gradients and are provided at no additional cost. The cost of detailed backgrounds will be based on their complexity and the amount of composition space they cover in the commission. |
