MAIN TERMS

The artist will only start the commission once payment is received.

If the client fails to provide the appropriate information, descriptions, reference images, sketches, notes etc, then the client's commission may result in rejection or an additional design fee.
The artist has the right to refuse any commission request.
Commissions are not first come first serve, Spots are only reserved for commissioners who have paid at least half the quote price upfront, the artist reserves the right to only take on commissions they are willing and able to complete at the time, therefore it is in your best interest to make your inquiries as detailed as possible as inquires that are blank or has minimal or missing information will be refused.

TIME & SPECS

Commissions on average are completed within 1-3 weeks but please allow more time for more complex designs.
Please allow for extra time if you are not based in the UK due to time zone differences there will be delays in communication.
Please make sure to check your email frequently (at least once a day), if you are slow to reply that will delay the process.
If the client fails to reply to emails after 3 or more days, depending on how far into the commission we are, your commission will be moved to the back of the queue.
All completed commissions will be delivered via e-mail.
Changes can not be made after the work is completed and the client has received the high-resolution files via email.

PAYMENT

Full or half payment is required upfront, no exceptions. The commission will only begin once payment is received via my website.
The client will receive an invoice with a quoted price for the commission if the client wishes to make changes or additions to the commission the quoted price will change accordingly.
All prices are expressed in GBP, £, Pound Sterling,
payments are expected to be made in GBP.
It is the client's responsibility to send the correct amount, equal to the listed GBP amount.
If the client is commissioning multiple pieces, the client can choose to pay the full amount for the entire project upfront or can pay in smaller instalments over a set period of time.
All quote prices for the original invoice regarding licencing will be charged 20% unless new information about standard pricing for the use of the project is presented to the artist/illustrator. The Artist reserves the right to amend the original quote based on the industry-standard prices for the licence type in the UK.
