For commissions over $100, initial quotes are preliminary.
Following the Client’s approval of the preliminary quote, sketching begins.The preliminary quote is subject to change during the sketching period, where unforeseeable difficulties and changes in composition may arise.
The Client may ONLY request changes be made during this sketch period. If excessive or continuous changes are requested, a down payment may be required before further progress.If a Client takes advantage of the pre-payment sketches by taking the sketches and never following through with the full commission, they may be blacklisted and barred from further commissions until that commission is completed or otherwise resolved.Initial payment is due within 7 days of when the Client approves of a sketch and a final quote is provided.
For commissions over $100, multiple payments can be arranged. Failure to render payment within the specified time may null the quoted cost.For commissions over $100 and done in multiple payments, all payments already received are nonrefundable.If a commission over $100 was paid in full up front, a partial refund can be arranged depending on the amount of work already completed.
If the Artist has already finished all work pertaining to the commission, it is nonrefundable.The Artist is not responsible for shipped goods after they enter the postal system. Basic tracking is included for domestic US shipping. Other types of tracking or delivery
confirmation, including those for international orders, must be negotiated beforehand.

Contact, Communication, and Cancellation

The Artist and Client will communicate via email. The Artist will NOT discuss commission work via an instant messaging, journal, or public forum service. Please do not attempt to discuss commission work with the Artist via X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, Skype, AIM, deviantART, or public forum topics.At any point during a commission, if the Artist does not receive a needed reply from the Client within two weeks, the commission may be canceled. If payment has already been received in whole or part, full or partial refunds are left to the Artist’s discretion depending
on the amount of work already completed.Estimated turnaround is provided at the time of the first (or only) payment unless a deadline has already been discussed. If unexpected issues arise, the Artist will contact the Client as soon as possible to provide a new estimated completion date. If this becomes excessive, the Client may request a full or partial refund, depending on the amount of work already completed.For more intensive commissions, the Artist may provide periodic updates at various steps like lineart, flat colors, shading, background, etc. If a multiple payment plan is arranged, these updates will generally coincide with each partial payment. For smaller commissions,
to provide prompt turnarounds, no periodic updates are provided unless specifically requested.The Artist does not necessarily work on commissions on a first-come, first-served basis.
Smaller commissions may be bumped in front of larger commissions for convenience, and
several larger projects may be worked on concurrently.The Artist may cancel the commission at any time if the Client is excessively or continuously
rude, demanding, or inappropriate. The Client will not be refunded and will be blacklisted.The Artist may refuse service to any Client for any reason.
