Design Vortex
How it works

From idea to artwork in four steps

Predictable, communicative, no surprises. You always know what's happening and when — here's exactly how each commission unfolds.

01

Discuss

Send us a brief through the commission form — or just an email. Tell us about the character, the campaign, the references that capture the vibe. We read carefully, ask the right follow-up questions, and only then start sketching ideas.

Usually 24–48 hours to get back to you with thoughts.

02

Quote

Within 48 hours of your brief, you get a fixed quote — not an estimate. Scope, timeline, total. A 25% deposit holds your slot (fully refundable until first sketch). The remaining 75% lands on delivery.

No hourly games. No surprises. The price you approve is the price you pay.

03

Create

Sketch first — we get the pose, composition, and likeness right before any paint touches the canvas. Sketch revisions are unlimited. From there: color blocks, then final paint. Two paint-stage revisions baked into every commission.

Updates every 3 days. You see the work as it grows.

04

Deliver

Final files at 4K resolution — PNG, JPG, and a transparent-background version. Layered PSD optional. Yours to print, frame, share, treasure. We follow up two weeks later to make sure you love it.

Most clients hang it on a wall. Some have it tattooed.

Timeline
Average turnaround — 7 to 14 days

From brief approval to final delivery. Tokens are faster (3–7 days). Party portraits and NPC packs take 2–4 weeks.
