Frequently asked questions

Here are all the answers to frequently asked questions:

What benefits will I get by choosing you as an artist for my projects?

I am a private independent illustrator who works directly with clients without intermediaries.

 

This means:

 

1. Honest cost without extra charges for intermediaries

2. Saving time, since the project is discussed directly with me, as an artist

3. You can always contact me personally if you have any questions

 

As a private artist, I guarantee you the highest level of work results in an original, unique style and constant feedback, since each project is an independent world that requires respect, a high level of responsibility, a thorough approach and maximum dedication!

What is a technical specifications and how important is it?

A technical task or abbreviated TS is a description by the customer of a particular task for the performer. In other words, a document that the artist is guided by when working.

 

The more detailed the TS is, the more convenient it is for the performer and the customer to work on the order - time and money are saved, and the result meets the customer's requirements as much as possible.

 

The TS can be in the form of correspondence or a separate document with wishes.

 

Examples for drafting technical specifications can be found here.

 

For example, the TS can state that the character's pose is left to the discretion of the artist, then you completely trust my vision and execution.

 

If, on the contrary, the pose is described in detail, then the image will repeat your description as accurately as possible.

 

A detailed TS also helps to avoid unnecessary edits.

 

What edits are, which of them are considered paid and which are not - you can read on the same page, only below :)

If I don't want to read the information on the website, can I clarify everything with you directly in a personal message?

Yes, of course. If you want to clarify the terms of cooperation and details in a personal message, you can write to me at any time, I am always in touch and ready for a dialogue on any topic)

If I don't want to correspond, can I call to clarify the details?

You can only contact me via correspondence. This way, messages with requests and details will always be visible in the chat, which is very convenient for cooperation, clarifying moments and subtleties of work and drawing future illustrations.

What is the turnaround time for the work?

The turnaround time for drawing an illustration depends on many factors, such as the time it takes to agree on the idea, sketches and final version, and the speed of responses to clarifying questions, without which I will not be able to continue working on the order.

 

The turnaround time also depends on the day of the week the order is made and the overall workload (is there a queue) at the time the order is placed.

 

The approved deadlines, in which I, as an artist, complete the agreed part of the work, are always met.

 

You can always clarify the approximate turnaround time for your specific order in personal correspondence:)

I haven't decided on an idea and want to see several options, what should I do?

If you need to see not one option but several to decide, then you can order additional sketches or additional color versions.

An additional sketch or color version of a sticker or character costs from 30 $.

I need a receipt, is it possible to issue one?

Yes, there is such a possibility. If you need a receipt, you can write about it before or after placing the order.

I don't know what I want...

There are situations in which the customer finds it difficult to decide on a concept, idea or concept, but really wants stickers or a character.

You can write to me at any time with any questions, even if they duplicate questions and information on the site. We will discuss everything and find a suitable option together :)

do you transfer the rights to the images?

When you purchase images from me, you receive the execution of the author's order and a perpetual license to use it for your own purposes.

 

Exclusive (copyright) rights to the images remain with me as the author and are transferred only in some cases by prior consent and for an additional fee.

Do you cooperate with companies and do you have a contract? Is it possible to pay for an order using the details of the organization?

Yes, I cooperate with both individuals and legal entities. You can contact me to clarify the details of such cooperation.

what guarantees do I have that you will complete the work?

Orders are usually completed with 100% prepayment.

 

I always complete the work with maximum attention to detail and on time, a high level of trust and professionalism is very important to me. Therefore, I can guarantee on my part the fulfillment of all obligations under the agreed and paid order.

 

For your and my confidence, large orders are divided into separately paid stages. For example, when developing a character, you can first pay for the sketch, and after receiving and agreeing on it, pay for the second part of the work - the color sketch.

 

Thus, both you, as a customer, and I, as an artist, work in comfortable conditions and are confident in receiving the result and payment.

I didn't find any work in the portfolio in the style I would like to see in the end...

I do draw illustrations in the style of the works in the portfolio. However, you can always write to me in any convenient way and send an example of the desired style of sketching. Then I will be able to more accurately orient you, whether I am familiar with this style, and whether I can draw what you need :)

What are edits? Which ones are significant and which are not?

Edits are significant or minor changes to a sketch or finished work.

 

Let's look at a specific example:

 

TS: The customer's request was for a welcoming pose for the girl character, the plot - for her to wave to the viewer. Everything else is at the artist's discretion.

 

Minor edits after receiving the sketch: lower one eyebrow lower / move the gaze to the side / slightly lower the hand that is waving / draw longer nails / gather hair in a bun / make the waist a little thinner, etc.

 

Significant edits after receiving the sketch: change the girl's dress from a dress to a shirt with a jacket / turn the heroine not half sideways, but facing the viewer / keep the pose, but instead of the girl there is an older woman, etc.

 

Usually, minor edits can be made to the drawing of a sticker or character sketch. This means that at the sketch stage, you can slightly change the image, focusing on your personal vision and preferences.

 

However, any significant edits, or edits made to the pose after the character has been painted, will already cost more, since making changes in these cases will require returning to the sketch stage and drawing many parts or the entire character again.

Is it possible to complete the order faster than the specified deadlines?

The price calculator shows deadlines with a reserve, taking into account workload and unforeseen cases. As a rule, if there is no queue, orders are completed faster. You can always specify when ordering the approximate time of completion of your particular task at the appropriate time.

 

It is also possible to order an additional option "urgent order fulfillment", which, if possible, will reduce the execution time by half.

How to upload stickers to TG? Is it difficult? Can you help or upload my sticker pack yourself?

It is not difficult to upload stickers to TG:) I have a great article "How to upload stickers to TG", where the steps and possible difficulties when adding stickers to the messenger are described step by step.

 

I am always online and ready to help if there are delays and difficulties with uploading, or I can simply be in touch with you at this crucial moment)

 

I will not be able to upload your sticker pack to TG myself. The author of the sticker pack (the one who uploads it) can delete it, add to it, and edit it. Therefore, the person who will be responsible for all these actions should upload the stickers.

What time can I write to you?

Since I work with clients from different cities and countries, I can be in touch at any time. It depends on the schedule of each specific day. In any case, you can write to me at absolutely any time of the day.

 

If it is important for you to correspond at certain hours, then we can always agree on this in advance. So that you can be sure that I will answer your message as soon as possible)

Are there any discounts if I plan to make a large order?

There are discounts and nice bonuses for large orders :) The size of the discount depends on each specific order. You can clarify the terms of cooperation in personal correspondence:)

are stickers or characters suitable for printing?

Some illustrations are suitable for digital use, but may not be suitable for printing.

As an artist, I need to know in advance about such a need as possible future printing. Then I can ask important questions about the specifics of the future printing and offer the most suitable option for these purposes)
