    I. COMMISSIONS

    A. Work, Process, & Revisions

    1. Turnaround Time
      Depending on the complexity of your commission, my queue, and my current ability to work, turnaround time may range from a few hours to several months unless a specific deadline is agreed upon.

    2. Process
      After we’ve discussed your request and confirmed your commission:

      • I will send you several rough sketches.

      • At this stage, you may request any revisions (major or minor) or cancel the commission.

      • A 50% non-refundable deposit is required before I begin work on the final piece.

      • You’ll receive several check-ins throughout the process to confirm direction of the work.

      • One major revision is allowed (free) by the second check-in.

      • 2–5 minor revisions are allowed depending on complexity.

      • Excessive or additional revisions may incur a fee.

      • I reserve the right to waive or charge fees for revisions at my discretion.

      • The finished high-resolution artwork will be delivered to your email after full payment is received.

    3. Streaming & Promotion
      I may livestream the creation process or share the artwork on social media/portfolio sites.

      • If you would like your commission kept private, please let me know in advance. This may incur an NDA fee.

    B. Rights & Image Usage

    1. Commercial Use

      • If you intend to use the artwork commercially (e.g., on merchandise or for branding), an additional commercial licensing fee will apply.

      • If a third-party buyer wants commercial rights, they must contact me and pay the additional fee. Unauthorized use will result in permanent blacklisting.

    2. Artist Rights

      • I retain the right to display your commission in my portfolio, on social media, and in promotional material unless we agree otherwise.

    2. I reserve the right to decline any project for any reason without providing an explanation.

    D. Pricing, Payment, & Refunds

    1. Pricing Model

      • I operate on a “pay-what-you-feel” model with suggested prices listed on my site. I am open to working within a range of budgets.

      • Once we agree on a price, it is firm and based on:

        • Level of detail

        • Number of characters

        • Complexity of backgrounds

        • Desired licensing or usage rights

        • Urgency of the deadline

      • Deadlines under 2 days will incur a higher rush fee, negotiated case-by-case.

    3. Payment Terms

      • A 50% non-refundable deposit is required after approval of the rough sketch.

      • The final 50% is due upon completion, before delivery of the full-resolution artwork.

    4. Refund Policy

      • deposits are non refundable

      • I reserve the right to cancel and issue a refund at any point.

      • Extenuating circumstances (illness, equipment failure, emergencies) may affect delivery.

      • If your deadline is missed for reasons unrelated to such circumstances, you may request a refund or I may offer a refund.

      • All refunds will be processed via the original payment platform.
