COMMISSION UPDATES: Commission updates will be communicated to the client typically no farther than 1-2 weeks out, and will usually be provided upon any milestones on the piece (first draft, second drafts, inking drafts, colors, etc), which will usually be much sooner. While every effort will be made, exceptions may be made due to contending with matters outside of reasonable scope (i.e. natural disaster, personal health emergencies, etc).
PAYMENT, START OF WORK: Work on a commission will not be guaranteed until payment is received. Payment will be remitted once a PayPal invoice is emailed to the client. Quotes in excess of $100.00 are eligible for payment installments, on a case-by-case basis. Exceptions to this policy are on a case-by-case basis, and only if both parties agree upon this. Commissions will generally be worked on in the order it was received. Exceptions may be made in the situations of large-scale pieces - this is to both prevent burnout, and to maintain a decent workflow and is determined at my discretion.
CANCELLATION, REFUNDS: The client has the right to cancel their commission at any time, for any reason. A reason is not required to be provided but appreciated. Canceled commissions may or may not be eligible for a refund, and is determined based on the amount of work completed up to the point of the communicated request to cancel; a commission not yet started would be eligible for a full refund, but a commission for a lined and colored piece that has a sketch completed and the lining stage was started would only be eligible for a refund about half, as about half of the work is done. The client is entitled to the incomplete piece if one is available.
PRODUCT INFORMATION: For digital-only commissions, the client is commissioning for the time and effort to produce a finished piece of art to the client's specifications. The finished piece will be high-resolution (defined as typically a 300-400dpi document averaging 3000x3000px in digital format, but can vary). Source files are not provided to the client but can be discussed. Commonly, delivery is handled through telegram which can also provide a lower-resolution digital-ready piece, but on request, one can be generated if the client is not receiving the finished work through Telegram. For commissions that result in a physical piece, the client will receive the finished piece via mail or in-person hand-off and will be whatever is decided on - be it a print, canvas piece, or otherwise. The product will be described and represented accordingly and expectations should be based on the piece being bought.
RETENTION AND ARCHIVE OF COMMISSIONS: It is expected a client will assume responsibility for the commission once it is turned over to them in some way (via file transfer, email, physical handoff, mail, etc) and as such no expectation of commission retention should be made of the artist. Reasonable attempts will be made to retain the source file(s) of a commission, completed or incomplete for at minimum for one year but can be longer. This includes but is not limited to reference files, project and reference files (.sai, .psd, other image and miscellaneous files, text files with snippets of discussions, etc). A "reasonable attempt" is considered at minimum 2 locations of storage which may or may not include the device in which the media was created on, and an additional separate storage media, i.e. SD card, external hard drive, cloud storage, etc. Although a reasonable attempt to retain data will be made, again, the artist is not responsible for the media once the handoff, digital or tangible, has been made. It is strongly suggested the client maintains a backup of any commission handed off to them to ensure they do not lose their piece.
REVISIONS: Every attempt will be made to satisfy the client's specifications the first time. Unfortunately, it's understood that this is not always the ideal turnout. Every effort to communicate with each stage of the commission will be made to minimize the chances of wasting the client's or artist's valuable time. Revisions are eligible on artwork at any point during these communications, up until the final proof. As long as these revisions are reasonable, they can be accommodated at no additional charge. In situations that a revision will be significant in nature, a quote may be provided to compensate for the additional work. Examples can include changing an entire pose, adding/removing characters, picking add-ons (i.e. a client decided that they want to add shading to their original flat-colored commission only), etc. The quote will be reasonable and based on the guidelines set forth in the pricing guide.
