Initiating a commission.

​

Contact me via one of my preferred contact methods. In your initial message please include

​

• your preferred email address to be invoiced to,

• any relevant reference images, character sheets, or theme/mood boards,

• a bullet point list or quick doodle of what you want; it’s much more digestible than paragraphs and paragraphs of description.

​

From there we can discuss details of the work, estimated turnaround time, and pricing. Keep in mind that any advertised prices are a rough guideline; depending on the complexity, details, and nature of the piece, the final price will vary. Once all the specifics have been worked out I will send you an invoice.

​

Process.

​

I will keep you updated with the progress on the commission as I work on it, in order to get feedback and approval to move forward. Keep in mind

​

• refunds are not guaranteed and will only be issued at my discretion,

• I will notify you as soon as reasonably possible about delays or complications with the work,

• excessive requests for changes or alterations will require an extra fee.
