If I overlook something you clearly stated (e.g., drawing the wrong outfit, missing a requested item, or drawing grapes instead of the apple you specifically asked for), that will be corrected for free, because I agreed to do it from the start.
What doesn’t count as a mistake:
If your description was vague or unclear, and I interpreted it in a way you didn’t expect, there are two options:
A) If you want it changed, it will be treated as a paid revision.B) If you simply don’t like it, I will just remove for free.NOT Considered Mistakes:
a) Vague descriptions (e.g., "Make it sexier" → no free redo).

I’ll review the original description. If unclear, it’s not eligible for a free fix.4.

Phases (What I Send for Each Update)

What I will send each update!1) Sketch - Drawing Loose composition/pose, may have shadows.2) Lighting + Color Blocking - Set mood with color temperature (e.g., warm light/cool shadows). Roughly block in light/shadow hues (not just values).3) Polishing - Tighten shadows/light shapes for depth. Adjust saturation and local colors (e.g., skin undertones, material tints).4) Finishing - Texture, details, and final harmony (e.g., specular highlights, atmospheric effects).Update (Effective June 2025):
1) Free preliminary sketches ("quick sketches") will no longer be offered, as project discussions already require dedicated time. Moving forward, payment will be required before work begins.
2) My process now uses direct color (no grayscale underpainting) for faster, more vibrant results. I’ll jump straight to hue/saturation during roughs.)

Inquiry

When InquiringHow this works: I will first review your request to decide if I’d like to take on your commission.1) Please send complete and detailed information about your commission. I strongly suggest being clear and specific about everything you want included in the illustration. You may use images or PureRef for visual references. The price will depend on the level of detail. Please note that my scope typically includes one female character with a simple background, anything beyond that may incur additional charges. Vague descriptions (e.g., "a girl with a staff" or "Draw me Asuka from Evangelion") will give me full creative freedom on the details, and you will forfeit the right to request any changes or revisions.2) If I accept your commission, please send me your PayPal email so I can send you an invoice.3) Once payment is received, I will begin the project.My usual commission work schedule is during weekends.
