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.
