Then, we go on to inking and coloring the scenes. In this stage, the corrections are minor (since they will require re-drawing). At this stage, if you need major revisions to details or characters that were pre-approved, there will be an extra charge for this work.

Once the color stage is finished, the illustrations are delivered in the format you request.
