About

I am WendiBones, an Italian-based freelance illustrator and digital artist.
I started my activity in 2016, and I worked for several private clients and corporations such as DeviantART, FaeCrate, Kudos Publishing, Yaoi-revolution, and more, as a comic book artist, illustrator, costume designer, cover artist, and graphic designer.
I am currently working as an editor, editorial graphic designer, illustrator, crowdfunding campaigns creator and curator for Kudos and Shaman Publishing, and as an author.

My preferred payment methods are, in order: Wise, Stripe, PayPal.
I can only accept payments after the final has been sent for contracted projects with regular clients.
SPLIT PAYMENTS
If the total exceeds €1,000, I may accept payments in two installments: the first upon commencement and the second upon completion. I apply a €5 fee to each split payment to cover the revenue stamp required by my country and the additional invoice costs.
BOOKING ME FOR SIX MONTHS LATER
If you require the artwork within a specific deadline that is six months or more later, you can opt to sign a contract with me before commencing the project. In this case, unless you are a regular client, I will request a non-refundable 50% deposit in advance to prevent last-minute cancellations.
REFUNDS POLICY
Payments are fully refundable only if I have not started the sketch. If I were to start the sketch, I would charge the client an additional €60 fee.
Fees for works already started or deposits will not be refunded.
DELIVERY TIME
It may take me up to 1 or 2 months to complete your commission, depending on the length of the waiting list or if other works with a higher priority arise. Please visit my public waiting list for updates.
‘FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE’ UNLESS…
My list usually follows a first-come, first-served method based on the type of contract or licensing, following this order:
1) NDA or Contracted Work
2) Commercial use 'Extended' or 'Indie' with no contract
4) Personal use
5) Freebies, giveaways, or general rewards

SKETCH PREVIEW
All commissions include a sketch preview. With the sketch preview, I can make up to 3 significant changes to the sketch before requesting an additional fee, which is €50 for each sketch or pose.
CHOOSING AMONG SEVERAL SKETCHES
If you prefer to choose your favorite among several sketches or poses, I charge + €50 for each different sketch or pose.
FOLLOW-UPS
I don’t usually contact clients for follow-ups unless I need to notify them of a delay or unless it’s a complex artwork that requires several progress updates.
Please feel free to contact me at any time if you would like to receive an update on the progress of your commission. Alternatively, you can visit my public to-do list at to-do list for daily updates.

SEPARATED LAYERS

If you need your character masked for your spot-UV cover, I can do that free of charge; just let me know before I start the coloring process.

a) If the Client cancels a project before sending the payment: No fees
b) If the Client cancels a project after I've delivered a sketch or more: €60 for every sketch delivered
