Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical commission take?
Complexity determines the timeline. Simple illustrations take
5-7 days, standard projects take 1-2 weeks, and complex
animations take 2-4 weeks. Rush delivery is available for an
additional fee.
Can I use the art commercially?
Yes! Most packages include commercial rights, or they can be
added for a small fee. This allows you to use the art for
business, merchandise, advertising, and more.
What if I don't like the final result?
We work closely with you via checkpoints and revision rounds.
You approve sketches before we move to final art. If there's
still an issue, we'll work to make it right within our policy.
Do you work with international clients?
Absolutely! We work with clients worldwide. We accept PayPal,
Wise, and international transfers. We accommodate all time zones
for communication.
What's your refund policy?
Once work begins, the 50% advance is non-refundable as it
reserves your slot and covers initial drafting. If we cannot
deliver due to studio issues, a full refund is provided.
