- Clients are responsible for all conversion rates and fees if applicable.
- Commissions must be paid for in full before I begin working on them.
- Clients have 3 business days (Mon - Fri) to pay their invoices.
- Failure to pay invoices in full will result in cancelation of the commission and possible blacklisting from future requests.

- Clients are allowed three (3) small revisions per commission. Full redraws of poses or clothing/armor will incur a fee.
- If clients do not respond to an email containing a WIP within 48 hours, I will assume there are no revisions needed and continue with your commission as is.
- Be familiar with my work before you commission me. I WILL take artistic liberties with your character and their design in order to have them fit within my style and aesthetic. If you are uncomfortable with this do not commission me.
