I normally do not take exposure for services. Unless I feel the project speaks to my values or you are willing to sign a legal document guaranteeing a specific amount of exposure, money (USD) is expected as payment.

All commissions are meant for personal, non-distribution, non-resale use only -- I am not producing AI artwork or NFTs. If you want to discuss potential distribution, I will provide a mailing address to receive proposals for my legal representation to review upon request.

A mandatory 50% of the cost will need to be paid before I begin working; this is non-refundable, so please be sure that you want to commission me. After I receive the 50%, I will begin work -- you will receive progress shots with updates as needed during the sketching portion of the piece, 3 watermarked progress shots during coloring, and a heavily watermarked version of the final image. The remaining unpaid portion of the overall cost is due BEFORE I release a complete, non-watermarked version of the commission to you.

While I will always try to please my customers and have pleasant interactions, I will also impose boundaries if working with you becomes unpleasant -- abusive language, expecting completion "overnight", excessive and unrealistic changes, trying to force a discount on the final price after confirmation, etc. If I deem you "unpleasant" to work with, I will either ban you from requesting future commissions or impose a severe "Asshole Tax" to all future commissions you may request. I've worked in enough toxic environments over the years, I won't allow my current one to become another.
