HOW TO COMMISSION ME
Shoot me an email at [email protected]!
Tell me what you want drawn and hit me with photos! My prices section has examples of all the commission types.
After the idea/price is confirmed my Commissioner Agreement form will be linked to read and sign, then a Paypal link to pay the deposit or full payment!
When the image is complete you will be sent a high-resolution PNG (JPG available if requested) of the whole image and a transparent version (PNG). In the case of 50% deposit, you'll be sent a watermarked version first, and after the final payment you'll receive both high quality files!
Tip: Don't be afraid to send lots of details and photos! Try bullet pointing everything so nothing is missed!
All projects, bar specific exceptions, are completed within 3 months
WAIT TIME
The typical wait time for a single full body coloured commission is 3-4 weeks, however mileage may vary depending on the complexity of the idea and how many characters are included.If I feel as if I am going to take longer than expected, I will send a cursory email to keep you informed. The maximum wait time is three months bar specific cicumstances, and more information on that is in the Refund and Cancellation page.
BACKGROUNDS
There are three free options for backgrounds:
A solid colour of your choice.
A gradient of your choice.
A simple shape against a differently coloured backdrop. Example: Square, circle etc.
If you would like a background with detail:
Logos and objects that are a large part of the background count as large props and cost £15 each. Examples include: Cars, Pokemon etc. More information in additional fees.
Complex background requests start at £100 and go up depending on the complexity. Examples include: Forests, cities, room interiors etc.

COMMISSION STEPS, PHOTO UPDATES & REVISIONS
My process is: SKETCH -> LINEART -> FLAT COLOURS -> RENDERING.After each step until rendering you'll receive high or low quality photo updates (depending on if you payed full up front). You may request a revision twice during these photo updates.
Major body posing revisions aren't allowed after the sketch phase. Examples include: 'Can we change the pose from a crouch to a karate kick' etc.This does not mean the lineart phase is a cutoff point however, you can still request smaller revisions like: 'Can her hair flow behind her instead of a ponytail like we discussed?' or, 'Oh, can you draw the glasses differently?'.
After two revisions, it will cost extra, (MORE INFO FOUND IN ADDITIONAL FEES) and revisions requested two weeks before an agreed deadline date will need to be discussed.

REFUNDS AND CANCELLATION
I have the right to cancel and refund the total for your commission at any time.
You may only request a cancellation and refund during the sketch phase before three hours of work is recorded on the commission by the Procreate app’s statistics. This is not applicable to pencil headshot commissions however. You will not receive the art in this event nor will you have the right to use any work for private use.
If a cancellation and refund is requested within the first 3 hours of the pencil/sketch phase you are only entitled to 75% of the fee you paid. For example, a 50% up-front fee of £30 is only entitled to a £22.50 refund.
If a cancellation is requested during the ink or colour phase, no refund will be given.
If a cancellation is requested for a pencil headshot commission, no refund will be given.
A 100% refund will never be made once the work had been started, the only exception is in the case that I have not provided a finished commission after three months from the first payment.
If payment has not been made the client has the right to cancel the commission.
If I cannot meet the seven day deadline for a rush order (or the discussed deadline for more than a single character), I will refund the rush order fee and inform you as soon as possible that I failed to meet the agreed date. The rush fee is the only part of the payment refunded.
If you request nine revisions, I will cancel the commission and you will only receive 10% of the fee paid- for example an upfront payment of £20 for a half body line art will get a £2 refund. You will not receive the art or have the right to use any work for private use.
If you file a chargeback against me, your right to everything I have made for you will be retracted and I have the right to sell the copyrighted works to new buyers.You will be forbidden to commission me again, and all future requests will be declined.
All projects, bar specific exceptions, are completed within 3 months
ADDITIONAL FEES
Large props such as: Pokemon, logos, animals, detailed swords and guns, bikes and vehicles cost an additional £15.
Each small prop after the two freebies are an additional £7. Small props include: Basic handguns, basic swords, flowers, bags, insects etc.
Each revision after the two freebies is an additional £10. Up to nine revisions are allowed for a commission, beyond that and the commission is cancelled.
A private commission (meaning I will not share it on any social media) costs an additional £40.
A rush fee (for work done in seven days maximum) is £60. This is only for single character commissions. For bigger works with a deadline less than one month, the rush fee begins at £70.
All projects, bar specific exceptions, are completed within 3 months
