Weird question; is the discount just for starting bid? (So even with discount start bid would the other tiers be same price?)

Silly question; how does a sale work with commission stuff? Is just the initial bid/base offer discounted?

Out of curiosity, are you doing customs or know if you'll do a design similar to this one sometime in the future?

Yeah, it even says it's a resell and links back to this artist in the description

Do you happen to have any references for your fully rendered stuff?

Dang I thought I still had time on this! Will keep an eye open for the next opening

I've noticed on my phone and computer too, the timer's aren't actually fully synched. So sometimes if it's as close as 3 seconds, it's technically already 'done' but doesn't register it as such. I've had problems like that.

Wait starting bid at 1?? Your work is so good though!!

Would it be alright to ask for minor changes? (I.e hair color change)

That was briefly my thought as well, but if there's multiple cases of it then there's a pretty good chance it's not just a one time thing. Not that it means it's malicious, but I understand the concern, and if it's happened multiple times then it's a safer bet than going off of just one.
