Client Agreement

The service that the studio provides is to allow our clients to choose upon what they wish to have for their commission. The commission is a digital piece of art that will vary upon non-traditional medium [digital: paint, ink, pencil, chalk, charcoal, etc] as well the genre [cube, cartoony, anime, realism, retro, etc.] of style that the artist will use. The client may also purchase upon "commission extras" that add to the commission. These extras are mentioned in the main Commission Information page and also in this agreement.
