Introduction
Welcome to my commissioning term of services !
Before we get started, I want to ensure that we're on the same page and that you understand my terms of service.
As a digital artist, I take pride in my work and strive to provide the best possible experience for my clients.
To ensure that our collaboration runs smoothly and that we're both happy with the final result, I have a few terms of service that I ask my clients to abide by.
These terms are designed to protect both of our interests and ensure that we have a clear understanding of what to expect throughout the commissioning process.
So please take a moment to review my terms of service before we begin.
If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to me

Commission process/workflow 
After sending me the filled form, I’ll ask for more details if needed and answer any of your question(s). Then we can agree on a price and it will be paid depending what you choose.
After finding common ground, getting the first payment & giving the completion date (optional), I’ll start working on your commission.
- Step 1 or Thumbnailing/Sketch stage
I’ll sketch some ideas with black and white values, then show them to you so you can choose and/or tweak one to your liking.
You can expect 4 thumbnails minimum, up to a dozen if I feel inspired and/or if artistic freedom is given to me.
I’ll refine the sketch, meaning working on details in the background and character(s). This is what your commission will look like before I render it further.
I’ll color the sketch of your choosing.
You can expect 4 thumbnails coloring minimum up to a dozen if I feel inspired and/or if artistic freedom is given to me.
- Step 4 or Rendering stage
The most time-consuming part, I might not be able to update you as much as before because I’ll need to focus on the piece.
However, feel free to DM me to see the advancement.
Finally, you will receive a signed digital file via WeTransfer by email to not compress the quality. If the file is too big, I’ll use another image hosting website.
Once the commission is finished, no more changes or edits can be made.
If I have permission to post on social media, I’ll put a special watermark on it.
Revisions
- Commission revisions are the next step
- Character Art: 3 revisions during thumbnailing, color & refining stage.
- In the case where artistic freedom is given, I will work based on my judgment. However, if the client requests a scrapping of the scene in its majority or entirety, they'll be charged
- Any mistakes from my end will be fixed for free.
Do and Don't
Please keep my art & thematic style in mind when ordering, Don’t hesitate to ask me if you’re wondering if your commission idea matches my art aesthetic.
