Commissions & You
(Or: So You Really Want Some Porn, Eh?)
Brought to you by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Yiff.
How do commissions work, anyway?
Well, here's the general process and what to expect:
1. Send us all relevant material to your picture. A ref sheet is preferred, else all other pictures, SL screenshots, or as a last resort, text descriptions.
2. Tell us exactly what you want us to draw for you. Please be specific, as we can only draw what we're told about. We will do my best to make sure we draw what you want.
3. Once we have collected enough information and have decided to accept your commission, payment will be expected to get a place in the queue.
4. As soon as we get to you, we will begin by doing a rough sketch on paper. Once we have finished this sketch, we will email you a copy for approval. Please review this sketch and list everything that you want changed. Now is the one and only chance for major changes to the sketch. Small changes to details will be made during inking. Only major changes will be made in the sketch for re-approval. Once the sketch is acceptable except for minor details, you will approve the sketch.
5. At this point, the sketch will be inked. All minor corrections listed in your approval will be made at this point. Once the line art is completed, you will be sent the line art for approval once again. Only minor changes can be made. Major changes will require significant reworking of the piece, and may incur an additional charge depending on the amount of work needed.
6. Once the line art is approved, flat coloring will begin. Once all of the flat colors are applied to the image, it will come back to you again for approval. Again, now is the time to point out any coloring that it is incorrect or does not match. Please be sure to list any and all changes that need to be made to the coloring. If you wish to change anything besides coloring, charges may be incurred as this will be major work.
7. After this approval, your image will be shaded. After shading, the image is generally considered to be complete. If there are any very minor details that need to be fixed, it may be possible, but again, any major changes may incur charges.
Thank you and enjoy your art,
