As of recently, I've had several commissioners who had been put in the same predicament. I will not name names, majority of these commissioners are all a pleasure to work with and I hope to do future business with them <3, but they all shared a similar problem I'd like to address, in hopes that I can avoid this problem in the future.
When you order a commission from me, and I give you a WIP (Work-In-Progress sketches) and I tell you to look it over, markings, lineart, background, etc. PLEASE take all the time you need!
I give WIP's so that you guys can let me know what needs to be change in order to make the most out of what you guys pay for and so that I too can improve my skills and make others happy. If you need a day or two to look over the WIP, please do so! I will not be offended if you tell me you need to look it over!
I've encountered multiple situations in which a commissioner does not like the final product or they notice something they want changed after completion. Not only is the commissioner not happy, but it gets a bit hectic on the artists side too. Majority of the things a person may be unhappy with in their commissioner (lineart/proportion/etc) can be easily editted during the WIP stages of commissioning. When it reaches the final stage, it becomes very difficult to edit and becomes time consuming.
Edits after a completed commission will now result in a $5-10 fee. (This does not count if "I", the artist, mess up! Such as I miss your markings.)
I can not express this enough, PLEASE look over the WIP stages of your commission carefully. Once I get past shading and effects, changes become extremely tough ><

I agree with all of this, no artist should have to deal with this... 💔

I mean, I know that it'll happen from time to time, mishaps happen, its the fact that I've had like 4 people in the past two months who've done this xD over a length of time too

I agree also. I have requested commissions from other artists and they showed me WIPs of their work as well, giving me a chance to look over what needs to be changed before passing the point of no return (shading and lighting).
Oh my god, YES. I've had a couple of customers that have done that to me and it is SUPREMELY frustrating. It's not super common, but when it happens it's extremely disheartening. VERY well said!

I know it happens, but its more like xD when you have the oppurtunity to take your time to look it over, and then at the end of a commission, it isnt like something minor, its like the whole dang commission needs to be "altered" its like -.- something this big was "overlooked"? Really?
