The artist will submit a sketch for control before proceeding with the final commission piece
in up to three days upon receiving payment or after determining the start with client.2. Once the sketch is approved you will be sent file with flat colors, after approving this stage artist will start rendering phase.3. The final commissioned art will be accomplished within 2 weeks minimum up to 1 month
maximum depending on the difficulty of your illustration or agreed upon deadline and will be sent to your e-mail or preferred contact optionREFERENCES:1. Clients must send proper references of their character, in proper quality and lighting, ideally a reference sheet with full body, front and back side and color palette of their character properly visible or base colors the artist can color pick from to get 100% accurate colors of your character. If client has only shaded reference I will accept it but the colors may not be 100% same, I will do my best to match the correct colouring but take this as a heads up of it not being 100% guarantee.2. If clients don't have a reference sheet they can send illustration of their character or a mood board(mood boards should include stuff like clothes and possible outfits, color pallettes, hairstyles, accessories, anything else that may be crucial in making your character come to life)3. Pose or background references are welcomed but not necessary unless client needs a specific pose or background.4. References cannot be created by AI. I am a human artist and I am strictly against using AI since it's not only bad for artists due thievery but also bad for an environment. If clients send AI generated references I may decline working with them.5. I accept references of real photos for any type of commissions if clients decide so, this includes but is not only limited to NSFW commissions as well, these references must be appropriate and shouldn't show genital organs under any circumstances.
