FAQ & Terms of Service

Yes! I accept a limited number of commissions annually and will always post a notice so that everyone has the best chance to get a spot on the list.

YES! Please share the art with your friends, family, and followers.

Absolutely! Fan-art is one of my favorite things to do!

Detailed exteriors with vehicles/buildings/furniture/or other highly detailed elements would be considered complex.

Blurry backgrounds or small details like grass, water, or a couple of clouds in the sky would be considered “simple” and are included in the cost of the commission.

Designs can take 2 weeks to 30 days to complete.

The time it takes to finish a single illustration varies depending on factors such as the order in which commissions were received, complexity, professional work obligations, convention seasons, and personal health.

I will send updates according to progress (usually once per week after the project has been started, depending on the scope of the artwork).

I only accept payment through PayPal to ensure a secure and safe transaction for both of us. You will receive an invoice with details of your commission and the payment(s).

Yes! Commissions can be paid either 100% upfront or split 50% upfront and 50% after sketch approval.

Do not send any payment before you have received the invoice.

I work closely with each client while the piece is in progress to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the color, balance, mood, & direction.

You are not obligated to complete a second payment after the initial 50% deposit, and if you decide that you will not approve the design sketch and/or thumbnails, you may cancel your commission and use the deposit price as credit toward a different artwork.

However, this has never happened before, so hopefully you would not be the first!

Of course! I will always ask for your approval before moving on to the next phase so if you don’t like something or want to change it, let me know! I want you to be 100% happy with the art you’re paying for!

MAJOR CHANGES:
3 opportunities for major changes on the commissioned piece are included in the price.

If you wish for me to change something in a drawing that you have previously approved, I will charge a fee to change it.

I GOT YOU, BOO! **scribble scribble**

Any deadline less than 2 weeks from the date payment is received is considered “Rush Delivery”.

Rush Delivery adds an additional rate of 30% to the cost of the commission.

If a deadline of less than 2 weeks is given for a complex illustration, the buyer should expect to receive the finished artwork in time, though the quality of the rendering may not be to my highest degree due to time constraints.

Once the piece is finished you will receive an email with the full-resolution digital image along with a web-friendly version.

Physical prints may be requested at an additional cost.

I check my emails Monday-Friday and take weekends off. If you send communication on a weekend I will get back to you on Monday or as soon as possible!

You are responsible for what you choose to have tattooed on your body, and its placement.

I am not responsible for any changes made to the design by you or your tattoo artist. I am not responsible for any choice of content in the surrounding tattoo designs, nor am I responsible for how it may affect you personally.

Tattoos are permanent, choose wisely.
