  • Clients are expected to pay full sum after the commission is delivered.

  • Payments are only made through PayPal.

  • Updates for the commission will be sent through Discord. Updates may come in the form of pictures, videos, or test models. Revision section (further down) describes when test models will be sent as well as details about revisions.

  • The commission is considered done once the final work has been delivered and client has given approval or if the client hasn’t replied within 48 hours.

When I will get my commission?

Commissions will be delivered WITHIN 3 to 4 months of me starting the commission. I am currently in university, streaming, and making YouTube content. If you need the commission on a specific date, please do inform me.

Revisions, Updates and Client's feedback

Test models

The client will be sent test models 3 times during the commission process, when the following have already been rigged: (a) eye blinking and mouth, (b) head angles (without physics), and when the rigging is almost done.

When revisions are free?

First, the client is encouraged to provide any kind of feedback during the commission process to ensure the quality of the model.
During the commission process, minor revisions are free but there is a certain threshold for the quantity of minor revisions. As long as the artist asks for feedback from the client, the client could still ask for minor revisions and point out mistakes in rigging.
The artist will make sure to inform the client if their free revisions are almost up. Once the artist has informed the client that they have used all of their free revisions, the artist shall propose a price for additional revisions (whether minor or major revisions).
Major revisions before and after delivering the completed work are not free. For minor revisions after delivery of the final work, please consult with the artist since it may be free.

What are major revisions?

Major revisions can be any of the following:

  • change of clothes

  • additional animations

  • additional expressions

  • changing animations

  • change of more than 10% of the model's layers.

The price for any addition to the model will be discussed. The client is also encouraged to check with the artist for any revision.

Client's Role and Etiquette

  • The client is expected to check for mistakes in rigging such as clipping, displacement of parts, and any general mistakes in rigging that are obvious and greatly lowers the quality of the model.

  • The client should also provide all of their feedback within 48 hours of receiving an update from the artist. This is to help save time and make the commission process more efficient.

  • When giving feedback, it is highly encouraged to be detailed and that desired corrections to be requested are final. This is to save time and ensure that all efforts are meaningful.

  • Please do not micromanage the artist.

What behaviour is NOT allowed

  • forcing the artist to rig a certain style / rig in another style

  • requesting for changes that are out of control of the artist (ex. asking for changes in illustration when you have availed for a rigging-only service)

  • being excessively nit picky

  • wanting to be particular but requesting a revision without a clear idea, proper references, and direction

If the client refuses to be civil, becomes excessively nit picky, or requests too many things way beyond the skill of the artist, the artist reserves the right to terminate the commission.

Nevertheless, the client is encouraged to give feedback and the artist will inform the client once they have gone past their boundaries.
