FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Invoices: There are three installments for every commission price. The remaining amount for each installment is paid upon stage approval. Three phases are involved in handling commissions: Stage 1 is the final sketch; Stage 2 is inking and value; and Stage 3 is color and finish. An invoice that enables you to make the installment payments will be sent to you. With each payment, the invoice will automatically update the balance. This enables clients to start working on several projects concurrently. Discounts: After each recommendation completes their first job with Torie Montrel, returning clients will receive discounts of up to 20%. (Per project, only one discount is applied.) Rush Fee: There will be an additional cost associated with rush projects, which might be anything from $100 to $500. Correction Fee: After stage 2, there will be a $25–$50 fee for any correction that needs to be redone or redesigned.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
In order to allow both the client and myself to capitalize on their passion, I like to have a quick chat to discover more about them and what inspired their idea. I will take the clients on a tour of the creative process for the project, outlining the expectations and requirements at each stage.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from the Art Institute of Atlanta, where I attended college. There, I gained knowledge from a variety of experts on the team and, via them, developed many relationships with outstanding artists in the media and animation fields, who instructed me in a range of methods and abilities.
