Commissioner input can vary the length of time it takes to finish the commission because it relies on how often the client and artist communicate.
Walking updates: Client involvement in every stage. This is an option for someone who knows what they want and would like to lead the direction of the commission. I’ll e-mail updates of each stage as I reach them, and you can rest easy about how the commission is looking.
Only a hand in the design process: You’ll have a say in what composition - out of the thumbnails provided - you’d like to pursue, and will be able to voice your opinions on adjustments at certain stages in the concept. After that, you don’t want any further updates until the commission is finished.
Give the artist free reign: You’ll inform me of what you want in this form alone, leaving the composition and color choices up to me based on what requests have been outlined. This doesn't mean zero communication, just that it might seem a better decision if you really don’t know what you want the final commission to look like, and that’s fine too.
