Commission info
Steps to commission me:
Read through my terms of service and check my estimated prices.
Put together the necessary (image and text) reference and information for the commission.
Contact me through Twitter, Discord (shadoca) or email ([email protected]) with your commission offer, including the details and reference in the message. (Preferably also include your Discord name and send me a friend request for easier and quicker communication.)
We will further discuss the details and the final price of the commission.
I will send you an invoice, and once paid in full, I will begin working on the commission.
Reference example:
A detailed description of the desired picture as a whole
A description of the character's appearance and their clothes + accessories
A description of the character's pose and expression
A description of the background (if you want one)
Image reference of all above if possible (only JPGs and PNGs)
(If your commission isn't of a character, simply include the relevant reference in text and image form.)
Working through the commission together:
Once the commission has been paid for, I will make a rough sketch for you to approve. At this point larger and smaller changes are possible.
Once the sketch has been approved, I will begin working towards the completed picture. I will provide occasional updates of the picture, during which smaller changes are still possible.
As soon as the picture has been finished, I will send you a full resolution image.
