Commission process

PRE-COMMISSION
a. After filling in the google form, you'll be automatically placed on a waiting list. You will receive an email with confirmation and a link to a queue where you can see your placement
b. When I'm ready to process your request, you will receive a second email asking you to send me details about your order, as well as visual references. You have 5 days to provide me references, or your order will be cancelled
c. All of the communication will be happening via email. I won't join discord groups or similar spaces
d. I can decline your order after seeing the references. In this case I won't charge anything.
e. After I analyze your references, I shall send you the final price of the image. The date an hour of payment starts the time counting towards my deadline
SKETCH PHASE
a. After paying the first invoice I prepare a sketch
b. You can request up to three entirely new sketches. Fourth one requires additional payment (see: Major change)
c. After you pick a sketch for rendering, you have to pay a second invoice. This begins the rendering phase
RENDERING PHASE/CHANGES
a. After the rendering phase starts, only minor changes are available
MINOR CHANGE - A change to the picture that doesn't require me to repaint a large chunk of the art. For example: hand gesture, face expression, item color
MAJOR CHANGE - A change to the picture that requires me to alter large portions of art. For example: whole body position, previously unmentioned item added, whole color scheme change. Major change requires additional payment of up to 50% value of the whole art, depending on a scale
COMMISSION ENDS
a. When everything is done, you will receive a set of PNG files, with at least one larger file and one smaller preview sent via email or as a link
b. The pictures average 1024/1600/1920 pixels tall for portraits/halfbodies/fullbodies. If you require anything larger, let me know before the commission starts
c. You won't be sent the original PSD file, layers or separated parts of the picture. For illustrations (the painted pictures with the background) there is no "backgroundless" version

Payment

a. Payment is accepted via PayPal or Wise only
b. The invoice will be set in Euro. I don't accept other currencies
c. Payment for the commission is divided to two invoices: 50% sent after I analyze your references and and 50% after you accept a sketch for rendering

e. First invoice is non refundable under any circumstances

Deadline and Refunds

a. From the moment of the first payment I have 60 days to complete an order for a single picture. If you order two pictures, double the time etc.
b. If I don't complete your order in time, you are eligible for a refund
c. HOWEVER, if during the commission process you don't respond to my email for more than 48 hours, I stop counting days to deadline until the communication is reestablished. In such situation deadline is extended accordingly
d. The refund does NOT apply/the order is canceled if:
- the client gets verbally abusive
- the ToS is breached by the client
- there's no email response from the client for more than 60 days
- the client changes their mind and doesn't want the artwork anymore

References

a. To paint a picture for you I need visual references and written description
b. I won't recreate (1:1) a character art that you have found online (that was not painted by you or for you). I can only use that sort of reference to create new design based on it

Commercial License

a. You always need to inform me if you plan to use my artwork as merchandise, patreon reward, part of marketing or promotional material, an illustration in a book or other similar medium
b. In those cases you may have to purchase additional commercial license:
