How it works

  1. 1

    Requests come in

    Share the commission form. Each request lands as a ticket in Requests, with the client, their references and the usage they need.

  2. 2

    Sketch and colour

    Move the card from Sketch to Colour, tick the checklist as the client approves, and track your hours with one click.

  3. 3

    Delivered and paid

    Drop it in Delivered, tick Paid, and see in Reports what each commission really earned per hour.

What's in the setup

Four columns

  1. Requests
  2. Sketch
  3. Colour
  4. Delivered

Three example tickets

  • Character portrait
  • Reference sheet
  • Emote set

With a sample client and some tracked time, marked as examples. One click removes them.

A ready form

Art commission

Contact, payment method, kind and framing, characters, references, usage, deadline, privacy and your terms.

A checklist template

Commission

  • Sketch approved
  • Colours approved
  • Final sent
  • Paid

You can rename, add or delete everything later. Removing the examples keeps the columns, the form and the checklist.

What you get that general tools lack

A link for your clients

Each client gets a read-only link to their own commissions and how far they are, never your notes or prices.

Your real hourly rate

Track the hours per commission and see what a piece really paid, so the next price is easier to set.

The questions you always ask

Usage, deadline, privacy and references in one form, with every answer kept on the ticket.

Open your commissions on a board that fits them.
