Commissions
I am currently open to commissions. I accept payments via PayPal or direct bank transfer (half upfront, half on completion). If you're unable to use these payment methods, I'm open to discussing options that will accommodate you.I do not use generative AI or AI-generated assets.The usual turnaround for my commissions is two weeks after first payment. If you need the cover done sooner, we can negotiate a specific deadline. This will incur an extra fee.
