descriptive text and character references.

not suitable for commissioning.

images and personal appreciation. Instead, you will be able to have the creator draw your favorite artworks at
a cheaper price than the official commissioning.

of perfection.

file formats. If you cannot agree on the condition that you will be fine with whatever the deliverable will be,
