Commission TOS
Before starting a project, we need to make sure we are on the same page so there aren't misunderstandings and to protect against fraud, so please take some time to read through these terms! Thank you.
Terms of Service Agreement

- Fully mech/robotic

Timeline & Process
The completion of the Work requires 1 week at minimum, and may typically average 2 weeks to 1 month , depending on commission type, complexity, and workload of commissions. Deadlines and timelines will be adhered to in good faith but may not be possible sometimes. Note that each project may vary. Please plan your launches and streams accordingly.There may be 3 major revisions for each item shown during the process, not including mistakes made by the Artist. Revision later in the process such as after line art can only be minor. I will actively reach out for feedback.Additional charge may be required for further revisions that may impact the progress and timeline of the project.Delivery of finished Work will be through e-Mail.
Communication
Communication will take place throughout the entire project timeline with updates and bouncing ideas. I will typically ask for feedback when I have something to show. I will let you know if anything is causing delays or priority shifts in the project.I will use Twitter DMs / Discord DMs / Ko-fi DMs to facilitate communications. I will typically respond quickly but may also take up to a day, which is usually in order to provide a better, more concrete, update.Clients agree to provide all required art, references, information and assets before Work starts and during the process, or it can affect the timeline.
