Suggestions
Project Phases
Staff added suggestion.
Allow projects to be split into phases, each with independent approval and invoicing stages.
For example, a project could be broken down into 3 stages: Sketch, lineart, shading. Each phase would cost $50, and the client would be invoiced, pay, and approve each stage.
This allows clients to choose to upgrade pieces, and for creators to understand how much work to put in at any given point.

I like the first part a lot! But the second part seems to be a bit too much. At least for me.
Having the commission being paid all at once, as a creator, is way more easier. Having multiple bills on an statement for the same thing kinda leads me to believe it’ll be mistaken for being charged multiple times for a single thing. but I can also see how having it be paid in stages can also be useful (to avoid a customer going awol and not paying the rest).
I’d say maybe make both an option but I’m not sure how difficult that would be. Looking forward to this update though! I’d love to do all my messaging to clients on a single site instead of having to juggle between here and twitter for communication aha.

Hey SpaceVampire!
What we're thinking for the type of scenario you describe is having a checkpoint system. So instead of having an explicit phase, you'd have the ability to request approval of any comment that you send. It'd be more informal, but help you document approval each step of the way.
We definitely hope to serve that function! We're working to try and bridge that gap between different tools! It's already possible to upload work in progress and get feedback from your client, but we know it can be made more direct as well!
