Pricing
How does pricing work?
My prices are based off $20 /hr of drawing time, plus a "service fee" for time spent doing research/looking for references, communicating with the commissioner, and making changes to the artwork. This fee depends on the style of artwork. If your character does not have a visual reference, I charge an extra $20 for designing the character from scratch.

Commission Process
General Workflow:
1. Fill out the commission form. I will review your submission and contact you through your preferred social to discuss details and pricing.
2. After I accept the commission and we agree on a price, the commissioner pays through Paypal (or Ko-fi or Etsy).
3. I will send you a sketch to be approved. This is where you would ask for large changes (such as posing, outfit, and expression).
4. After the sketching stage, I will continue to send WIPs through your preferred social. Only small changes can be asked for at this time.
5. Once the artwork is done and approved by you, the commissioner, I will send the full resolution of the image through e-mail.
