Terminology:
SIMPLE CREATURE = a small and/or simple animal, monster, or familiar, etc., such as a cat, simple pokemon, etc. Features like jewelry, scales, horns and detailed wings will constitute as a complex Creatures.
COMPLEX CREATURE = complex and/or large creature, may count as an additional character depending on complexity (especially for CG artwork). Complex creatures tend to have distinct and intricate features such as jewelry, noticeable teeth, horns, scales, feathers, etc.
CHARACTER REFERENCE SHEET = usually entails 3 angles of headshots, 3 angles of fullbody views, and any additional details you want to draw attention to. You may request more fullbodies such as to show different layers of clothing, etc. as an added percent of the cost. Only one character per reference sheet.
