COMMISSIONED ARTWORK

GENERAL

Commission slots are usually not "first-come-first-serve". I decide whether to accept your order after reading your note. Factors include commission type, complexity, my current queue and how well I think I can work with your idea. To reiterate, your commission MAY be declined, please be understanding of this.

The prices stated on this page may change over time and also may not be final as complexity fees might occur for your piece. Please treat them as "starting" prices and consider the amount of details in your piece if you'd like to stay within a certain budget. Feel free to contact me if you would like a quote!

The prices stated on this page are for personal commissions only. If you are looking for a piece for commercial or non-commercial use e.g. for an external project, something to resell, redistribute, reproduce, use as an ad, for a video, for merchandise etc., ask me for info on commercial prices/royalty fees.

Some of the examples on this page contain elements that are not included in the base price(e.g. "background") and are merely used as artstyle examples. Please refer to the description section of each commission style for accurate information on what's included.

Average completion time of a standard commission paid in full(e.g. cel-shaded character with transparent background) is roughly 6 weeks without a queue, however do not rely on this for any deadlines you may have. Estimate at least 3 months for good measure, longer if the piece is particularly large/complex. Those in payment plan may take longer, please refer to payment section of my TOS.

I do not work on weekends and public holidays and my working hours are from 2pm - roughly 12am.

PAYMENT

All payment should be upfront and in USD, Via PayPal. DeviantArt points are only acceptable as payment if specified by me.

I reserve the right to decide the final price for individual commissions, regardless of pricing stated elsewhere.

Payment plan availability must be discussed with me and is not a guaranteed option.

If paying with a payment plan, I work in tiers - once quarter of the payment has been made, the sketch will be completed, once half payment has been completed the flat colours will be completed, three quarters of the payment gets shading (If shading is required) and once full payment is completed, you will get the full hi-res files. This is to ensure I am covered for my work done.

Revisions of the artwork, aside from minor edits, is only possible during the sketch stage, during which you may request a WIP for us to discuss.

Unfounded revisions, a.k.a. revisions due to a dislike of artstyle, change of mind or failure to specify details during the order will not be granted unless I agree to it, during which I reserve the right to add a fee over the edit. Because of this, please make sure to plan your commission carefully before ordering.

You will receive the full resolution only after the payment is made in full. I do not give out pieces without a watermark.

PROCESS

Preface. You understand that PlXlEDUST is not working with only your priorities in mind. The art process contains steps that are time consuming and slow. Additionally, while they will work hard to make you a custom-tailored quality product, they will not accept a stressful work situation where an unreasonably high amount of edits or updates are demanded. Please do not commission them if you are looking for fast or timely work or if you are extremely critical regarding small details.

Before ordering a commission, please make sure that a commission slot is open and available.

Note me your request privately in either a discord message to PlXlEDUST or a note on DeviantArt with any necessary information, explaining your idea for the piece.

By paying through PayPal, you acknowledge that the commission is digital and will not be physically shipped.

After payment is received: I sketch, color and shade/paint depending on your commission type.

Please be reasonably available during the process in the event that further communication is needed.

A full size, small-watermark image will be given of the finished artwork. It is necessary that you use a watermark/resized version of the image before sharing publicly.
