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.
