Nitty Gritty Commission Policies
TL:DR
-I may be uncomfortable drawing some content. Don't be afraid to ask.
-All commissions are delivered digitally unless requested otherwise.
-I currently use PayPal.
-My PayPal is deviantalnix[at]gmail.com
-I accept either payment up front or half up front and half when complete.
-Please don't dodge PayPal service fees.
-I send process pics.
-Maximum 2 major revisions.
-Others may see your commission in a Livestream.
-I am nice. No really, I am.
Content
I have the right to refuse to draw any content I am uncomfortable with. I am generally comfortable with most content that falls into the PG-13 category. Explicit eroticism and NSFW content are not something I will draw (though I may in the future.) If you are unsure, just ask. At worst, I will tell you that I am not the right artist for the image you may have in mind.
Pricing, Payment, and Tips
Generally, I will try to be accommodating to your budget, but this does not mean I will accept a commission for less than I think its worth. I will not go below the base price on any commission. Flexible prices like those added for color or detail are determined by the complexity and time needed to complete.
Once a price has been agreed on, I accept two ways of payment. Either an amount is payed up front, preferably half, and then the rest is payed once the commission is finished, or the entire amount is payed up front. I will not accept commissions pro bono.
I use PayPal. I will be able to send an invoice to anyone who provides an e-mail address, and you can pay with a credit card that way. You may also send a payment via your own PayPal, but keep a couple things in mind: Please respect PayPal's service fees. If you wish to add a little bit to cover those costs, that's appreciated, but not required. However, do NOT send the payment as a gift. I do not want to take any risks as I will not be able to afford the fines involved for dodging PayPal's fees if found out. Any payments received as gifts will be refunded and I will not start the commission until payment is resent appropriately. Additionally, make sure to specify "No Address Needed" when paying for digital goods and services. Most of my commissions are digital unless an original is requested to be sent.

If you think I did an exceptional job on your commission, don't be nervous to tip. I do accept them. They are not required, though.
Turnaround, Process, and Revisions
Generally, I try to finish commissions within 2 weeks of payment. Larger commissions may take more time, while smaller commissions will be delivered far sooner. Life will occasionally get in the way of commissions, and I will specify when and if a commission has to be delayed due to reasons out of my control.
For most commissions, I do send process pics for approval for most stages of the process as applicable: Thumb, Sketch, Inks/ Refinement, Color, Final. These are to show progress as well as provide an opportunity for revisions. If you don't want to see these, please inform me.
Which brings me to revisions. I will generally only provide 2 major revisions to the commission. Revisions are easier and more acceptable to me earlier in the commission rather than later. Excessive revisions will be charged more for the time it takes to provide them. I will also not provide complementary revisions once a week has passed after the final commission file has been delivered and paid for.
Streaming, Promotion, Etc.
Sometimes I may LiveStream your commission if I can. If you are uncomfortable with that, please tell me, and I will refrain from doing so.
I will also use commissions as an example to promote myself or provide examples to others.
I'm generally a nice person, however, I do want my policies to be clear as protection for myself and to make commissioning as painless as possible. If you have any questions, I will answer as best as possible.
