Um if the current wait time is mid December, then I can absolutely do the raffle and inform you of what the commission is and pay you by the start of it. Does that sound right? I can get the details to you within the week and you'll definitely be paid before, or on the start of the commission date.
I'll have the background details (for simple background) and information about pose, as well as what clothes she may wear. :) Ok?
I'm sorry for this to be such a hassle :'(
But thank you for taking the time to respond!
