About "Sketch deposit"
(*)Sketch deposit is a part of your total commission price, not an additional fee. It will come off the final price. So please don't worry about that.
This is just a way to protect me from scammers/ people take advantage on me for free sketches!
I need to make sure my customer is able to pay, before I work with them.I will definitely 100% refund deposit sketch payment. In these situations:
- After received sketch options, customers feel like my style doesn't fit their desire.
- My current ability is not enough for customer requirement.
- I cannot understand your idea and we seem like can't work together.

ABOUT BIG FIX

✦ WHAT CONSIDERS AS BIG FIX?
- Every kind of fix, that makes me redo a whole section or takes considerable time to fix, is counted as BIG FIX.✦ HOW MANY BIG FIXES YOU CAN DO?
- Client has 3 chances total to make big fix in 3 key steps.
- In case client wishes to change things suppose to be fixed in the previous step(s), which will affect on the whole work process speed. I will charge extra fee depending on the complexity of these changes.
- So carefully consider when you want to change your mind, and try to give all the feedback at once.✦ WHEN TO MAKE BIG FIXES?
- Below are examples for types of big fix, that you may consider to request for change if needed:• Step 1. Sketching: You may change brief, camera angle, request for different sketches options, add/ remove/ change details. (Such as: during discussion, you get better idea and wish to change; move the camera angle higher and zoom closer to character's face; draw character in different hairstyle and costume.)• Step 2. Color and lighting base: You may change color moods, different lighting set up, or any type of changes relate to color, etc. (Such as: change the sky from dusk to dawn color, change shadow and light color combination , etc...)• Step 3. Rendering: You may change the texture/ material of the object in the painting, request to render small additional details, etc. (Such as: Make the eyes more glowing, change straight hair to curly hair, change jeans jacket into leather jacket, add sunray hit on character's face, etc...)
