- For scenes featuring large groups or crowds, I'll send a quote after a thumbnail has been approved.
General Terms:
- If a character needs to be designed from scratch there will be an additional fee. For additional $250 I can make a simple ref sheet (front and back view) which includes up to three revisions.
