♦ Due to backlog/schedule, faster completion or deadlines may require extra fees.
♦ A project that is too tight could be refused or reduced in terms of quality.
♦ If your order is complex and taking a long time, I might be working on something else in parallel to unzip. Or just keep paying my bills actually…

♦ Please ensure the initial description is accurate. Please pay attention to the preview and draft as it is the proper stage for modifications.

♦ If you order more than one character on separate drawings, only the first one will be prioritised.
