• The commission is cancelled on the Artist's side for personal reasons.

a. The artist aims to update the Client three (3) times during the process. The Client should expect to be emailed during the following parts of the artistic process:   

> Sketch: The client should expect to receive a sketch that outlines what the final will look like. Clients will note that sketches are in greyscale and if specific colours are desired, then they must be stated at this stage or beforehand.   
>> Sketches provided are semi-detailed and reflect posing and composition only. Details are added during the line work stage.

   > Line work: Once the sketch has been confirmed, the artist will move on to complete the line work and the Client should expect to receive an update with a file featuring clean line work. 
 >> The line work update is the final stage before any colour is added and the commission is completed. This is also the final opportunity for the Client to state any minor amendments and colour preferences if necessary.

   > Colour: Once the line work has been confirmed, the Client should expect to receive a final update with their completed commission in full colour. No further changes may be made aside from minor colour alterations if necessary.

b. Mistakes, serious diversions or omissions from the agreed-upon character reference occurring by the fault of the artist, will be corrected by the artist at any stage.

c. If a mistake is made because the reference image was not clear, the reference was outdated, or the relevant information was not provided, then the artist is not at fault and any request to correct it may incur a fee.Please make sure your references are clear.

If a mistake was made because the commissioner did not clearly state which elements/poses/etc they wanted before the image was completed, then the artist is not at fault and any request to correct it may incur a fee.
