Process
& Delivery
​
-
The time it takes to finish your commission varies 1 week - 1 month depending on factors such as health, the complexity of the commissioned piece, other work, and other prearranged engagements.
-
I work full time and commissions are generally done after hours or on weekends. If you have a deadline TELL ME. I can work within parameters but if left to my own devices things will take a little longer.
-
Please be prompt with replies to approvals as this will also increase times.
-
-
Once the piece is finished, you will receive a full-resolution image and a web-friendly size. Note that there is no physical product.
​
04
Revisions
-
You get 2 rounds of changes on the commissioned piece included in the price.
-
A fee will be added if you want something changed on the final drawing - unless a misunderstanding from my side has been made.
-
If you wish me to change something in the drawing you have previously approved, I will charge you a fee to change it. The amount of the extra charge depends on the change you want me to make and is usually based on an hourly wage.
-
PROMO KIT has a total of 6 revisions available.
