The process of commissioning a "Favorites" - 1 Dinosaur/Creature is pretty simple! Here's how it usually plays out...
​
Step 1. SUBMIT A COMMISSION REQUEST 
           Start by filling out the form on the previous page, "Custom Artwork", under the "Favorites" category. You can quickly find it by
           clicking the green arrow at the top left of this page. This form doesn't officially book your painting commission, as it simply is used
           to provide Millart4You applicable knowledge of what you're looking for.

           *Once your commission request is sent, Emily will receive an email with your message & show any add-ons you selected for your
             piece. She typically responds within 24-48hrs. If for some reason she doesn't, follow-up emails to millart4you@gmail.com are more
             than welcome, as some emails can get lost in the shuffle. Of course, if you have any additional questions for a commission, you
             are more than welcome to email them.


Step 2. REFERENCE PHOTOS:
           With regard to a person's favorite dinosaur/creature, once she's been told of what it is, Emily will be the one to collect reference
           photos that she will use during the Mockup Process (see step 3). And, if the desired background is going to be environment-based,
           Emily also collects reference photos of said environment to include in the mockups she provides.


Step 3. THE MOCKUP: 
           Usually within a week after Emily has collected the reference photos, she will make 3-5 FREE sample mock-ups that you can choose
           from, as examples of what your painting can look like in terms of composition options and add-ons you may have chosen (if any). 


Step 4. PAYMENT & COMPLETION UPDATES: 
           After you have chosen which mock-up you would like to go forward with, 2 invoices will be sent to you. The first invoice is to secure
           your spot with a $175 non-refundable deposit. This deposit ensures your place in my schedule and reserves time just for you. By
           booking your spot, I turn down other substantial and important projects to dedicate my time to your portrait, which is why the
           deposit is non-refundable. If shipping is going to be a factor, the price will be reflected in the second invoice, and is expected to be
           paid by the mid-way point in the completion process. An email update will be sent out, but the process will be paused or terminated
           if the second payment is not made. In the case of a paused commission, you will have up to 6 months to pay the second invoice
           before the project is terminated.

Step 5. COMPLETION UPDATES:
           The painting process doesn't start until the first payment has successfully been processed. You will be provided periodical updates on
           where in the process your commission is. And, when the commission is completed, you will receive an update accompanied with a
           final photo of the finished piece.


Step 6. SHIPPING & DELIVERY:            
           Out-of-state purchases that require shipping will have an added fee to your invoice. A tracking number will be provided to you so
           you can keep an eye on where your package is. If you're located in North Phoenix, AZ (within a certain travel radius), an in-person
           drop-off may be feasible, with no additional cost. After your portrait is complete, I’ll ship it to you securely. Shipping costs are
           consistently $60 regardless of the destination and size of the portrait. The only time this price would be affected is if a portrait is
           extremely large (custom size per request of customer) or if you order more than one portrait at once.

 

*DISCLAIMERS*

1. The free Mock Up provided is a mock up only. The end result may differ slightly in color or exact placements.
    

2. PLAN IN ADVANCE - Commissions can take anywhere from 6-12+ weeks to complete depending on complexity and busy seasons! So, if you're planning a birthday or holiday present for someone, please keep that in mind.​
