- Not all payments are not done upfront.
For colored pieces, payment can be sent after cleaned sketch or lineart is sent. This is due to the time it takes to color, as well as the possibility of time delay due to the fact I am a student.
For lineart, payment will be upfront- Please note that prices mentioned are BASE prices- A general deadline will be discussed at time of recieving commission, however any pieces requiring a deadline within a week will be upcharged, price depends on complexity of work- Finished piece will be sent via Google Drive link or png emailed directly to commissioner in order to not compromise file integrity.- I will be sending Work In Progresses as the commission continues, you may ask for specific milestones, but in general it will be sketch / lines / flats / render- If you would prefer your commission to be private please mention beforehand, I often sent works in progress through other artists to correct anatomy and otherwiseIf any of these confuse you, feel free to reach out to me directly through social media or email.my twitter, my email, my tumblr (least checked)
