Payment
All payment is invoiced through PayPal. If you commission me, you are agreeing to the following payment terms:
50% Payment: Before commencment of work.
100% Payment: Upon approval of the low-resolution, watermarked finished piece.
Once full payment is received, you will be sent the full resolution final piece.
Cancellations
If at any point in the commission process you wish to cancel your commission, you will not be charged the full price unless the piece is finished. However, payment will be retained for any work already completed, at a rate of $20USD per hour of work, up to 80% of the full price. I will provide screenshot evidence from Procreate to verify hours worked.
Refunds
Refunds will only be offered for pieces cancelled before they have been commenced, or if I am unable to complete the piece.
Process
I will send you updates on the process of your commission at each key stage of the painting process. You will be able to request minor revisions and changes at the sketch, lineart, and colour stages.
Sketch: This is the easiest point at which to request revisions to the overall design of the piece.
Lineart: This is the lineart I will be using in the final piece. It is cleaner and more detailed than the sketch. Small revisions to detailed areas can be made at this point, however changes to the overall design and composition cannot, and will attract an extra fee based on the amount of time invested in those changes.
Colour: This stage is either a roughly coloured or flat coloured piece designed to give you an idea of what the colours of the finished product will look like. Changes in the colour palette are made easily at this stage.
Final Render: This is the finished product. Changes at this stage are time-intensive and will attract an extra fee based on the amount of hours required to make the changes.
Revisions
Any revisions requested after the final render, or changes to composition requested during the lineart and rough colour stage, will incur a charge of $20USD per hour of work. The revised image will not be made available until after this fee is paid. This is to encourage clients to request revisions at the appropriate stage of the process, for speed and efficiency.
