Communication and Updates

The commission process starts with the client providing their requirements and any reference materials, if required. Based on the provided information, I, as the artist, will create a quote with the price for the commission.

Once the subject and price are agreed upon, the client is required to make a non-refundable advance payment of 50% of the total commission cost before the work begins.

The commission progresses as follows:

  1. First Rough Sketch: After receiving the advance payment, I will create a rough sketch outlining the subject and composition of the artwork. This will be sent to the client for review and feedback.
  • At this stage, the client has the opportunity to request changes to the subject or composition.
  • Any significant changes requested after this stage may require additional payment, as it may affect the overall scope and complexity of the artwork.
  1. Small Fixes Rounds: After the first rough sketch is approved, I will proceed with the final artwork. The client may request up to 3 rounds of small fixes, such as adding small details or changing colors within the agreed-upon style.
  • These small fixes are included in the commission price.
  1. Final Artwork Approval: Once the final artwork is complete, I will send a low-resolution preview to the client for final approval.
  • The client should carefully review the artwork and provide any last-minute feedback or minor adjustments, if needed.
  • After the final artwork is approved, the client is required to pay the remaining 50% of the commission cost.
  1. Final High-Resolution Artwork: Upon receiving the full payment, I will send the final high-resolution image to the client in the agreed-upon format.
  • The client will have full usage rights for the artwork as outlined in the commission agreement.

Please note that as an artist, I create in my own unique style, and the client should be familiar with my style when requesting the commission. I strive to provide a smooth and collaborative process to ensure the client’s satisfaction with the final artwork.

If you have any questions or require further clarification on the commission process, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation throughout the commission process.

Cancellation and Refund Policy

As a professional artist, I have a cancellation and refund policy in place to ensure a fair and transparent approach to commission cancellations. The policy is as follows:

  • If the client cancels the commission after the work has started, the advance payment is non-refundable, and the client may be responsible for additional payment based on the progress of the artwork.
  • If the client cancels the commission after the final artwork has been approved and delivered, no refund will be issued.
  1. Cancellation by the Artist:
  • If for any reason, I, as the artist, am unable to complete the commission, I will notify the client as soon as possible.
  • In such cases, the client will receive a full refund of any advance payment made for the commission.
  1. Refund Exceptions:
  • Refunds will only be considered in exceptional circumstances, such as unforeseen personal emergencies or health issues that prevent the completion of the commission.

Client Responsibilities

I strive to provide the best possible service and deliver high-quality commissioned artwork. To ensure a smooth and successful commission process, it’s important for clients to understand and fulfill their responsibilities as well. Here are the client responsibilities typically followed by professional Australian artists:

  1. Providing Clear Requirements: Clients are responsible for providing clear and detailed requirements for their commissioned artwork, including subject matter, style, size, and any specific references or inspirations. The more detailed and precise the requirements, the better the artist can understand and fulfill the client’s vision.
  2. Timely Communication: Clients should respond to artist’s messages and inquiries in a timely manner. Prompt communication helps in keeping the commission process on track and avoids delays.
  3. Payment Obligations: Clients are responsible for making the required advance payment of 50% before the commission work starts, and the remaining 50% upon completion of the artwork. Prompt and full payment is necessary to ensure that the artist can complete and deliver the artwork as agreed upon.
  4. Feedback and Changes: Clients are responsible for providing feedback on the rough sketches or work-in-progress stages, and requesting changes or revisions in a timely manner. It’s important to provide constructive feedback and clarify any desired changes during the agreed-upon stages of the commission process.
  5. Respecting Artist’s Style: Clients should understand and respect the artist’s style and creative decisions. Commissioning an artist means trusting their artistic expertise and style, and not expecting them to deviate from their signature style or artistic approach.
  6. Mutual Respect: Clients are expected to communicate respectfully with the artist and maintain a professional relationship throughout the commission process. Any disagreements or concerns should be addressed in a respectful and constructive manner.

By understanding and fulfilling these client responsibilities, clients can help ensure a smooth and successful commission process, and collaborate effectively with the artist to achieve their desired commissioned artwork.
