Commission Process
I will try to process commissions through the following stages:
Conception - The period of time where commissioner and creator discuss the concept and details of the commission. This is the planning stage to lay the work that will need to be done and discuss what the deliverables will be and what the cost to the commissioner will be. Commission details will be discussed through Discord: Vulonsulin#8525.
Alpha Creation - The period of time where the creator will initially develop the deliverables based on the concept and details discussed in conception.
First Pass - The commissioner will be given a viewing and demonstration of the deliverables created during the Alpha Creation stage. This period is used for gathering feedback from the commissioner about issues they notice or minor adjustments they would like to see. If the scope of the changes go beyond the details discussed in the initial conception phase, the commission may be rejected.
Beta Creation - The period of time where the creator makes changes and adjustments requested in the First Pass. This period may be skipped if the commission is acceptable upon First Pass.
Second Pass - The commissioner will be given a second viewing of the deliverables and may make final change requests. Again, if the scope of the changes go beyond the details discussed in the initial concept phase, the commission may be rejected. This period may be skipped if the commission is acceptable upon First Pass.
Gamma Creation - The final period of time where the creator makes final changes and adjustments requested in the Second Pass. This period may be skipped if the commission is acceptable upon First Pass or Second Pass.
Alpha Testing - This period marks the point where the creator will test the deliverable themselves for issues. This may occur at any point in the process, but will at the very least happen after the Gamma Creation stage.
Payment - This period marks the exchange of money from the commissioner to the creator in exchange for the Alpha Tested deliverable.
Beta Testing - This period marks the point where the commissioner is allowed to test the deliverable themselves to note any significant issues not noticed during the First Pass, Second Pass, or Alpha Testing that require correction. If the scope of the changes go beyond the details discussed in the initial conception phase, the changes may be rejected.
Finalization - This marks the last stage for changes to the commission based on necessary changes found in Beta Testing. This stage will see the final deliverable given to the commissioner and marks the end of the commission.
Disclaimers
The Commissioning Process
The early stages (conception, creations, and passes) are pretty flexible. I encourage commissioners to hang out and watch the process on stream in my discord server so those steps all happen at once.
That said, a few parts are set in stone: alpha testing, payment, beta testing, and finalization.
Payment happens before you get access to the beta version. During beta testing, you can point out anything that needs adjusting, and I’ll take care of those fixes before finalizing.
Once a project is finalized, that’s the end of the commission. I don’t offer free updates or revisions after that point.
If you want changes later on, we can discuss a new request, usually at a discounted rate.
I also reserve the right to decline a commission or specific changes if things go beyond the original scope or become unreasonable. If that happens after payment, refunds won’t be issued.
Asset Reuse and Commission Publication
Parts of commissions may show up in future projects or be reused.
I won’t publicly release full job overhaul commissions.
Once the commission is finalized, it belongs to the commissioner. They are free to share it however they’d like.
Credit is appreciated but not required (with one exception, see below).
I may create a demo video of a completed commission to show in my gallery. The commissioner is also welcome to make their own videos or share mine.
Regarding AI Created Assets
I do not like being associated with AI-generated content, and I avoid working with it whenever possible. That said, a commission is ultimately the commissioner’s vision, and I’ll do my best to carry out what’s requested within reason.
Commissioners may submit AI-generated assets if they choose, but I can’t guarantee they’ll be usable. These assets often require additional work to function properly in-game.
All AI-generated content must be provided by the commissioner. I will not create or source AI-generated assets for any commission.
AI-generated content will never be reused, repurposed, or featured in any of my personal work. Its use is strictly limited to the commissioner’s project.
If a commission includes AI-generated assets, it will not be shown in my gallery. Additionally, I do not consent to being credited on any public release of that work.
Once the commission is finalized, it belongs to the commissioner and may be shared at their discretion, provided I am not credited.
Again, I strongly discourage the use of AI-generated assets. That said, the finalized commission ultimately belongs to the commissioner.
