So, here is my latest commission.

I wanted to include the first and the final pictures of the commission so that you guys could kind of get a feel for the process of buying a commission from the lovely @aelenko​ (sorry this took so darn long. I took a week-long hiatus from Tumblr basically, so thank you for your patience).

First of all, she only has you pay half upfront. When you do, you receive a few different sketches (depending on the art style you choose. I chose the lineart myself).

Then you proceed in either providing a description of the character(s) involved and/or references.

Then she continued by asking me a few characterization questions, which was unique from any other artist I’ve ever commissioned and I really loved that she did that because it helps to add their personality to the art.

Anyway, so she sent me I think three other sketches, and with every single one, made sure I was satisfied with the piece.

Here was the first sketch:

Anyway, so this piece costed $30 in the end, so before she began I paid 15 of it. The process was about a day per draft.

Finally, the final piece was sent and she had me pay the final 15.

She is a phenomenal artist who will make sure you are 100% satisfied with how she drew your characters and how she did their cothes, their stances, their expressions, before she sends the final product, which for me, was this beauty:
