ABOUT ME

I'm Alain "AJ" Datuin.🖥️ Graphic designer professionally
✍️ Artist at heart
🤓 And also a major geek
Much of my artistic inspiration comes from video games, movies, television, anime, and comics, so a lot of my work will reflect that.My day job is graphic design; I personally specialize in logos and branding. But, most of my assignments I currently do at work are digital and print designs for marketing/advertisement.TOOLS FOR ART

COMMISSIONS

COMMISSION STATUS:
CLOSED

(Commission Form button disabled when closed)


*TOS is currently under construction while commissions are closed and will be updated when the new commission sheet is available. My current TOS below applies to my old commission sheet.1 General Terms
Prices are subject to change.
I have the right to reject any order for any reason.2 Payment
Method
Payments are made through Paypal at paypal.me/AJDatuinArt or [email protected].
Commission Payment
Commissions are paid fully upfront. Avoid making payment before being approved for a slot and until an invoice is sent.
3 Process Delivery
Turnaround
The time I will take to start and finish a commission varies between 1 week - 2 months. Please take note on factors such as communication between us, any unforeseen health complications, the complexity of the commissioned artwork, and other projects that I may be working on.
Your Commission
We will work together in every phase. Phases proceed as such: sketch, coloring, and finalization. Though it is a collaborative effort, I may or may not take your suggestions into the final artwork, but it does not mean we will not discuss which works best. What I will not tolerate is micro-managing and detrimental criticism. Doing so will result in termination and no refund.
During the phases, you may:
- Offer more or new references if needed
- Offer suggestions in color, objects, subject, etc.
- Approve final sketch work, final colors, final artwork
- Tell me to just finish how I think best (the "Surprise Me" approach)
Once the commission is finished, you will receive the full-resolution image with my signature in PNG format. I am willing to offer other file types if specified. You will not receive the original source file.Printed requests will be taken into consideration, however costs and shipping must be considered and will be priced accordingly. Please contact me directly about this option. I will only deal with US only shipping, no international at the moment.Liability
If before completion, my file(s) for the commission become corrupt or lost, I accept full responsibility and will to the best ability continue the commission to completion. You have the right to terminate the order with a full refund if the results are too damaging or will prevent on-time completion. If at any point after completion of this commission your digital files become corrupted or lost, I am willing to deliver an unlimited amount of final files you. It is recommended that both parties backup the files into a secured storage device or cloud storage.
4 Revisions
Rounds
You get 3 free rounds of revisions on your commissioned artwork at the coloring phase. Additional revisions will be charged an extra fee. The sketching phase will allow more flexibility in revisions before locking in the composition. You must request reasonable changes in the sketching phase to help better the quality of your commission; it may be flexible, but failure to move forward may result in cancellation.
Reference Images
If reference images are not made clear initially, you will be charged an extra fee. Please provide clear and specific images, examples, or descriptions, especially when it comes to original characters, to avoid many unnecessary revisions.
After Completion
No edits, work, or revisions will be done once you receive the final commissioned artwork.
