i prefer payment first due to the fear of being scammed. but i frequently update so that you don't get scared, i am trustworthy okay‽ BUT that's just a preference, if you want me to finish first, that's okay too!
you'll complete a form, so i can keep track of my comms. it'll be for info, your name age pronouns etc etc. also once again i do not care if you frequently ask for updates, it's your commission, i think i would enjoy being asked for updates, it makes me feel happy that you're excited ^_^
comms don't take more than a few hours, sometimes days depending my own motivation and wellbeing, but i prommy i work hard on them no matter the timeline, if i take too long you can give me a deadline.
that's all contact more for further info
