Sounds like you're screwing yourself out of money.

Cutting one more check a month (or every 3 months) seems like a non-issue and that they just want to pay you less.

Hope it works out well for you though.

I have never seen a website that's more difficult to process.

If someone opens by describing their project as an "opportunity" for me I just mentally check out and nod my head until they're done talking.

If you do get him to sign a contract I would still recommend not letting him run up a big tab for obvious reasons.

Samples (aka pitches for contract work) are very different from spec work.

What's the 2 year exclusivity deal about? I can't imagine that will stick. If I'm paying you to design characters for my IP I want to own those characters straight up.

12k might be a little steep simply because of how notoriously cheap the industry is, but it's not entirely unreasonable if you're a professional (hit deadlines, communicate well, etc) and you're good at what you do.
