The 4 Stages of Commissioning Artwork.

Every commission is divided into 4 stages. A Work in Progress (WIP) is provided for your review and approval at the end of each stage.

Approval is required before moving on to the next stage.

Stage 1: Making the Deal

Stage 2: Rough Sketch and Concept

Stage 3: Line Art

Stage 4: Making the Deal

Stage 1: Making the Deal

Submit Your Order Form

Fill out and submit the Order Form with as much information as possible about your project. Please allow up to 24 hours for me to review your request and provide a quote using the email address or preferred social media platform provided on the form.

Once the project details and cost have been agreed upon, you will receive a standard Service Agreement and an invoice through PayPal. Please see the Payment Policy for more information.

You will have 3 days to submit the initial payment and return the signed Service Agreement. If either is not received within that time, your commission spot will be forfeited and offered to the next client in the commission queue.

I will follow up with you when your commission is approaching its place in the queue to confirm that you are ready to begin.

** I will not begin work on your commission until I have received both the signed Service Agreement and the initial payment.

Stage 2: Rough Sketch & Concept

Editable Stage

Once I have a solid understanding of your project, I will create the initial rough sketch/concept WIP for your review.

The purpose of this stage is to establish the foundation of the illustration, including:

• Overall composition and positioning

• Character pose and placement

• Scale and perspective

• General clothing and design elements

• Overall aesthetic and visual direction

The rough sketch is intentionally loose. Highly detailed clothing, facial features, hand gestures, textures, and other fine details may not be fully developed at this stage.

This is the primary revision stage.

Changes to the composition, pose, character design, wardrobe, expression, or other major elements should be requested during this stage. Once you approve the rough sketch, the approved concept becomes the foundation for the remaining stages.

This stage includes up to 2 rounds of reasonable revisions. Please refer to the Revision section for more information.

Revisions requested after approval of this stage may require an additional fee, depending on the amount of work required to make the change.

You will receive a WIP for approval before moving on to Stage 3.

Stage 3: Line Art

Limited Revision Stage

During this stage, the approved rough sketch is refined into clean, detailed line art. This is where the character, clothing, facial features, hands, and other visual elements begin to take their final form.

Smaller revisions are available during this stage.

Minor adjustments and corrections can still be made, such as small changes to details, proportions, or design elements.

This stage includes up to 2 rounds of reasonable revisions. Please refer to the Revision section for more information.

Major changes that alter the approved composition, pose, character design, wardrobe, or overall concept should have been addressed during Stage 2. Requests that require substantial reworking of the line art may incur an additional fee.

You will receive a WIP for approval before moving on to the final rendering stage.

Stage 4: Rendering & Color

Final Stage

This is the final stage of the illustration. I will add color, lighting, shading, textures, and other finishing details to complete the artwork.

At this point, the illustration is being completed based on the previously approved concept and line art.

Revisions during this stage are limited primarily to color and minor finishing adjustments.

Major changes to the composition, pose, character design, wardrobe, or line art are not included at this stage. Requests that require significant reworking of completed artwork will incur an additional fee.

Once the final WIP is approved and the remaining balance has been paid, the watermark will be removed, and the final high-resolution artwork will be delivered.

Final approval confirms that the commissioned artwork is complete and accepted as delivered.
