✦ Information regarding commissions✦
A master-page that guides you for any queries you may have.
Commission process
There are 5 stages of the commission process:
1) Sketch phase [Basic draft Less details]
2) *Refined sketch phase [More details, cleaner lines]
3) Lineart phase [Clean and final lineart]
4) Color phase [Final detailed rendering]
5) *Cutting phase [Model cut and ready to rig]
*Only applicable to Vtuber models
Clients are requested to give feedback during the initial stages.
Any larger change during a later stage (like coloring) will lead to a fee.
Communication
Communication is done mainly via Twitter or Email.
It is advised that the client give feedback within a day so that there is no delay in finishing the commission from my side
Q. My vtuber reference is incomplete what should I do?
If the reference has only a few missing details or colours then the client may provide additional references
for the work to be done accurately.
If there is no reference then clients could opt for a character design commission
Q. Is there any waitlist?
Waitlists are available for vtuber model art and character design commissions, but depend on the number of bookings.
The client is requested to ask the artist as they may be booked for a few months.
Q. Are there any payment plans?
Payment plans are available for commissions exceeding the amount of 400USD
The cost may be split in twos or threes, and can be paid over 2-3 months.
However opting for payment plan will add an interest on the overall payment to account for the multiple transfer and conversion fees.
Q. I want to cancel the commission will I get a refund?
-Clients are eligible for a refund if the work has not started.
-If the work has started then fees will be deducted according to the portion of work done.
-Filing chargebacks without consulting the artist will result in being blacklisted
Q. How are clients protected?
It is the Artist's responsibility to constantly update the client.
If there are delays in the updates the artist will contact the client and let them know.
Client will be eligible for a full refund if there has been silence from the artist for over 3 months.
