Commission Form

Terms and Conditions:

​

By purchasing a commission from me, you must agree to the terms and conditions laid out below:

Please read the terms carefully:​

PAYMENT AND PROCESS:
 ​

• Prices are subject to change based on demand.

• Currency accepted in USD and through Square Invoice ONLY

• Commissions 50% upfront and 50% after final approval.
   

• To request a commission, fill out this form. I will reach out via email to discuss commission details.

  • It is advised that you provide a reference of characters (and background if its a fancy background)

    • If you do not provide reference, I will charge for Character design. (See Pricing Chart)​

  • Once details are agreed upon I will provide a quick thumbnail sketch for you to approve. (For animations, a quick animated sketch will be shown.)

  • Once commission details have been agreed upon and approved, I will send you a Square Invoice Estimate (once I am ready to start on your piece) (based on how many hours I think it will take me to finish the commission) of which you will pay 50% of upfront .

  • Once 50% upfront payment has been received, I will notify you that I am starting on your commission

  • If anything comes up that will slow the progress of the initially estimated delivery time I will let you know ASAP.
     

• Refunds will only be offered if something happens on my end that results in me not being able to finish the commission.
   

• I will provide at least 3 (or more if it is a very complex piece) check ins all of which you will need to approve (all watermarked):

  • One at "Line Art" Stage​

  • One at "Colored Flats" Stage

  • One at "Complete" Stage
     

• You get 4 rounds of revisions on the commissioned piece included in the price:

  • 2 revisions at the Line Art Stage (where you can change things regarding the lineart)

  • 2 revisions at the Colored Flats Stage (where you can only change things regarding the color)

  • If you have a problem with anything in regards to the commissioned piece please tell me right away!

  • A fee will be added if you want something changed on the final drawing

  • If you wish for me to change something in the drawing you have previously approved, I will charge you a fee to change it. The amount of the extra charge depends on the change you want me to make and is usually based on an hourly wage.

  • Once you approve the commissioned piece at the "Complete" Stage (You will see the completed piece but with watermarks), I will send you a Full Square Invoice where you will pay the remaining balance.

    • Price on Invoice may vary from the Estimate if I took more or less time than estimate

    • Amount due at the "Complete" Stage will be:

      • The time it took for me to finish the piece x hourly wage minus the 50% of the estimate that was already paid upfront.

      • Example:

        • Estimate: $15/hr x 8 hours ($120)

        • You'd pay $60 up front (50% of $120)
           

        • If it took LESS time than Estimated (Example 6 hrs):

          • $15 x 6 = $90 on Invoice Total

          • $90 - $60 upfront payment is the payment that is due

          • In this example $30 will be due at the "Complete" stage
             

        • If it took MORE time than Estimated (Example 10 hrs):

          • $15 x 10 = $150 on Invoice​ Total​​

          • $150 - $60 upfront payment is the payment that is due

          • In this example $90 will be due at the "Complete" stage
             

• Once payment has been paid in full, you will receive the non-watermarked full-resolution image.

  • Other image sizes can be given upon request

  • Note that there is no physical product.
