03 - Process&Delivery
♥ The time it takes to finish your commission varies 1 week - 3 months depending on factors such as health, the complexity of the commissioned piece, amount of characters and other work.♥ Once the piece is finished (and I'll get the full payment) you will receive the full-resolution image. Note that there is no physical product.♥ When it comes to my painterly artstyle, I don't do lined sketches, however, If you want, I will provide you with up to 3 different thumbnails to choose from. Note that this will slow down the process depending on how fast you can respond (I live in the CET time zone).♥ When it comes to my "cartoony" artstyle, you get 3 rounds of changes on the commissioned piece (before me adding flat colors) included in the price. After that I may charge you for changes, no matter of how many times you requested change before that.
(unless a misunderstanding from my side has been made.)♥ A fee may be added if you want something changed on the final product.
