Commissioning process
You should provide as many references (in particular visual references) as you need for the character, so that it looks as close as you wish to how you want them to look like. Otherwise, the depiction of the character will be up to my (the artist's) discretion.
You should provide short written description of how you want the character look like/do/pose in the illustration (other written explanations on the character are encouraged).
Maximum turnaround time is 10 days. If the drawing process turns out to take longer, I will notify you about it.
There will be maximum 2 consultation and preparation stages (eg. initial sketches, layout etc.) for the illustration. Once the concept sketch is agreed upon you can no longer ask for modifications/changes.
The final product will be digital only (scanned, high resolution (600 dpi), in .jpg format).
Image use
Commissioned image is intended for personal use only.
Personal use includes: print out for private use, digital uses such as social media avatars, reposting on your personal account.
Credit me (araiz-zaria) and link back to my online profile when using commissioned image as social media avatar/reposting it on your personal account
Notify me in advance if the commission is intended to be private (so that the progress images won't be uploaded publicly).
The artist retains the right to the commissioned image.
Usage as AI feed/NFT is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. THE ARTIST RESERVES THE RIGHT TO BLOCK A PREVIOUS CLIENT WHO IS FOUND OUT TO USE THEIR COMMISSIONED IMAGE FOR AI/NFT PURPOSES AND REFUSE THEM FOR UPCOMING COMMISSIONS.
