  • All owners of the characters within the piece have given permission and agreed to the application and purchase of the commission.

​

COMMISSION PROCESS 

  • When an application is submitted and accepted, an email stating the order has been received along with a receipt of your order will be sent to the given email address noted in the form within 48 hours. Shortly afterwards, an invoice/request for payment will be sent to the email noted in the order form as well. You will have 48 hours to pay off the invoice, unless otherwise discussed with the Artist, or your spot on the queue will be terminated. Commission progress will not start until the Artist receives a notification that the payment has arrived safely into their account.

​

  • When an application is submitted and is not accepted, an email stating that your commission application was not accepted will be sent. 

​

  • Updated statuses on commission progress can be viewed [ here ] once the order has been successfully placed and accepted by the Artist. Status is updated when you have paid and when specific stages of the commission change. It is requested that you check the link first before contacting the Artist regarding the status of your commission.

​

  • You will automatically receive a work in progress sketch(es) of the commission for approval before it moves onto the inking and colouring stages and will have the opportunity during this stage to direct alterations of the work (Not applicable for sketch commissions).

​

  • In some cases, you may receive work in progress throughout other stages (colouring/shading,etc) depending on the type of commission and how detailed it may be.

​

  • Final artwork will be delivered via email once the commission is finished as a high res .PNG file for personal use along with a low res watermarked .PNG file for web use. A physical copy mailed to you can be arranged, if requested. Additional fees will apply for cost of printing and shipping. Please contact if this is of interest. 

​

  • Minor alterations that were missed or need adjusting can be made before the .PSD file is removed from the hard drive and can no longer be edited. PSD files are typically removed within one week (7 days) of sending the finished artwork via email.

​

ARTIST & CLIENT RIGHTS​

1) The Artist reserves the right to cancel a commission and issue a full refund at any time during the commission process without any sort of explanation. This could be anything from poor communication without reason given ahead of time, rude/inappropriate behavior, inability to be clear and concise, unforeseen inability to complete the commission, etc. 

​

2) The Artist reserves the right to reject any commission application for any reason. 

​

3) Commissions are not first come first serve. The Artist has the right to pick and choose from the order forms submitted per public commission application opening.

​

4) Commissions are usually completed between a 4-12 week timeline after payment has been received. Some projects may take longer based on complexity, communication between the Artist and Client, and the Artists personal schedule. Clients will be notified as soon as possible if unexpected delays occur.

 

5) Client's may request for their commission to be completed by a specific deadline, however an additional fee would apply. The deadline MUST be pointed out when making an order and agreed upon via Client and Artist so the commission progress can be planned accordingly within the Artists personal and work schedule. 

​

6)  The Client receives a full resolution (300dpi) for print and a low resolution version intended for web upload (75dpi) watermarked .PNG file via email once complete. The Artist is also able to send other file formats, if requested by the Client ahead of time.

​

7) Communication regarding commissions between Client and Artist will solely be done through email for the purpose of record-keeping and consolidation. Commission process will not be discussed through any other form of communication.

​

8) Displayed prices are base prices and are subject to change according to the complexity of each individual piece. The Artist has the right to raise the final price of the commission if they see fit.

​

9) The Artist ensures the Client will receive email updates on the commission when necessary. Clients are encouraged to check in when they feel it's necessary for updates, assurance, reminders and/or questions. Public updates may also be made via the Artist's public social media accounts as well as their public queue, which all Clients are encouraged to check in on for a live status on their commission.  

​

10) The Client will have the opportunity to direct alterations of the work after receiving a work in progress sketch of the commission. All major revisions must be made during this stage. Only minor revisions can be made after the commission is complete. Larger revisions that are requested after the commission is complete will be an additional fee, depending on complexity.

​

11) For commissions above $800, the Client may request for work in progress screenshots of each or any stage of the commission process, which are welcomed to ensure the best result. Commissions under $800 are considered small works, thus progress screenshots are not factored into the price.

​

12) The Artist reserves the right to reject critique and revisions relating to artistic skill, style preference or critique that reduces the artistic quality of the piece.

​

13) Work in progress sketches/screenshots are not applicable for sketch commissions, since the Client is paying for a sketch and not a finished illustration.

​

14) The original Photoshop file will be kept for 1 week (7 days), in case any minor alterations are needed (minor being colour alterations, missing markings/details due to the Artist overlooking those details, etc). After the week is up, no changes are allowed to be made, as the Photoshop file will be deleted from the hard drive. The Client can request for additional time to look things over, if needed.

​

18) The Client has the right to request that the Artist does not sell prints of their commissioned artwork, for which the artist will comply.
