I will tell a commissioner that once a sketch is agreed upon, that's it. If they have anything they want to change, they HAVE to change it during the sketch phase, as I can NOT change anything once a piece has been inked or colored short of starting from scratch, and I won't do that unless they want to pay for a new commission. I don't mind making changes during the sketch phase, and don't charge for redos. But it's the ONLY time I CAN do that, so they better get it all in then.
Just make that clear at the start that "hey, make sure you get your sketch the way you want it, because once it gets the green light, it's final. No changes, no edits, nothing." The only exception MIGHT be a change in color if they let me know before I start coloring it, but if I've already laid down some color and they say "hey, my blue wolf? Can he be GREEN with blue stripes?" Sorry, you should have told me that a while ago.
