The Gift of the Gab
The Process
Custom Digital Artwork Commissions
Please take your time to read the following information. By contacting me to arrange your artwork you accept and agree to the below terms and conditions. Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.
File Type
Progress photos will be sent via personal message on Facebook. All completed digital creations will be sent as your choice of JPEG, PNG or PDF File via email and/or Facebook message. For best quality, email is preferred. There may also be times I will send you a Dropbox link to download your images. Please let me know once you have downloaded or received your files.
Alterations
Basic alterations while the art work is in progress is welcome, but once the artwork is completed and sent off, you will have 24hrs to let me know if anything small needs to be adjusted. After that point I will ask for a small fee to make changes.
Digital Backups
Artworks will be saved on my iPad for 30 days from the time of completion so please ensure you not only back up and save your artwork, but contact me in regards to alterations during this time. Pieces have multiple layers which take up a lot of memory so I unfortunately can not keep everything saved forever. Keep in mind that your portrait, jpeg file, will remain in our Facebook messages, on this page and/or in your email should you ever loose it but I am not responsible for saving every completed piece.
Any Fellow Night Owls?
Sometimes I may finish an artwork late at night so if you're a night owl like me and would like it to be sent through on FB the moment it's done, let me know. Otherwise I'll send it during business hours the following day when I send off the email.
Reference Photos
I can merge multiple images together to create the final artwork if necessary, at no additional cost. Please note that for the best result, if you would like a particular person holding or hugging a baby/child, it would be beneficial to have a photo of them in a similar position. If not, I am happy to sketch freehand or use an image of another person as reference. It is also helpful to have images where the subjects are facing the camera. If needed I can use the outfit from one image and face from another.
Sensitive Images
As a fellow angel Mumma I am more than okay with you sending through photos of your babies/children. For them to look easily recognisable to you in the drawing it is best if I have a photo of them as a reference but if you don't have an image, or aren't comfortable that's perfectly okay. I can search for something online and send it to you to get your approval before beginning.
The Choice Is Yours
I can match the reference photo provided or or any chosen colour. For instance I can colour match a favourite outfit, baby blankets or wraps, urns, flowers etc. I would love for you to be happy with your portrait so please let me know how you'd like the final product to look.
Permissions
Please know that I will always ask permission to share the reference photos prior to posting it with the completed artwork on social media. You are more than welcome to decline if you wish or you may allow me to share particular or partially blurred images, the choice is yours. But please know that I reserve the right to share my completed artwork on my social media pages, if you do not agree to this, I unfortunately will be unable to accept your commission.
