Illustration Commission Tracking Agent

Commissions delivered on time and paid in full for the work done

Illustration Commission Tracking Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Commission work slips when terms live in emails: extra revision rounds get done for free and usage creeps past what was paid for. When a commission is agreed, this agent records the brief, fee, deposit, usage rights, revision rounds and milestones such as sketch, color and final. It checks that the deposit has arrived before any work starts. If not, it drafts a friendly reminder and waits. At each milestone it drafts the delivery message, logs the client's feedback and counts revision rounds against the agreement. Requests beyond the agreed rounds or for wider usage get flagged with a quote draft instead of a quiet yes. Before closing, it checks that the final invoice matches the agreement plus any approved extras. The illustrator approves every message and invoice. Edge case: a client who wants editorial art on merchandise gets an extended license quote.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

An example run

What happensA book cover commission on June 10 included a $900 fee, a $300 deposit and two sketch rounds. The deposit check failed on day one, so the agent drafted a reminder; payment arrived June 12. After round two, the client asked for a third round and tote bag use. The agent drafted a $150 extra round quote and a $400 merchandise license. The illustrator approved both quotes, and the final $1,450 invoice matched.
