I CAN BE SLOW OR FAST. It depends on my schedule. I can finish it within a few days or even a week, but I will try to finish your commission as soon as possible. Please allow at least 3 months before contacting me. (I usually will finish a commission within that time frame at the slowest.)
2 day rush order = add 1x commission total, 2 week turnaround = add 0.5x commission total
Prices are just a starting point. Depending on the complexity, it will increase.

I reserve the rights:
to upload to my social media account. If it must remain undisclosed until a specific date, I will wait until after that date.
to use your commissioned piece as examples for future commission and portfolio display.
to livestream your commission, unless otherwise agreed upon.
WIP and revisions:
One initial sketch will be sent to you for approval. Please request any large changes during this phase. I won't finish until I get an ok, so please respond accordingly.
WIPs will not be provided by default past the sketch approval, however you may request it at any point.
After I send you the final product, if there is anything wrong from my behalf, I will fix it free of charge. If it was a mistake made by you for not stating necessary details, I will charge you as I see fit.
I will only fix minor details. I will not redraw or redo your commission.
cancellation/refund policy:
Any commissions once started and before sketch approval may be refunded 50% of total price.
Please note, refunds will not return PayPal fee amounts back to you, so you may receive 3-5% less than the original amount you had sent.
Full refunds will be provided if I have not started your commissions, or if I cannot finish them.
If you are getting a refund, do not request a Paypal chargeback. I will transfer the money back to you myself.
Percentages returned are based on the amount of money I received (meaning: amount you sent - paypal fees = amount I received; I calculate refunds from that final amount)

initial sketch and before approval: 50% of the amount
completed art: no refunds
