Below are some samples of my work.
About
I am a professional artist working primarily in digital mediums. My developed art style is gracefully sketchy and painterly, which lends itself well to fantasy and horror themes. I love to create concept art and portraits in particular, as I find the process of bringing unique ideas to life a very inspiring and satisfying element of my craft. Thus, I have honed my skills around this.I also offer services for video game screenshot paint-over. This allows me to make them more natural and tailored to specific character design that the game itself may not offer. Do you have beautiful screenshots, but a color element of your character is off? Would you prefer the shape of the hair, eyes, or smile to be different? Are there jagged edges on the character model you would like to have smoothed out? I am happy to provide these changes and more!Additional services I offer are professional video editing and the creation of reusable visual assets. Asset examples include but are not limited to: thumbnails, emojis, web icons, and texture blocks.If you feel I would be a good fit for your future project, please contact me!
Contact
I do my best to respond to messages promptly. Please be patient with me if I do not respond right away. I answer messages in batches during my available hours.While I am actively working on a project for you, my main form of contact is Discord. Keeping my work messages on one platform helps me optimize my accessibility to clients. Discord contact details will be provided for serious prospective clients only.
PRICING SYSTEM
The overall cost of my work is based on detail level ranging from lowest to highest detail and the type of framing, which describes how much of your character is being depicted.
| Frame Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Head: | Collarbones upward |
| Bust: | Bustline updward |
| Half Body: | Hips/thighs upward |
| Full Body: | Depicts entire body |
The price for work has a variable range based on complexity of design (horns, tail, wings, etc). Base prices are listed below.
QUICK SKETCH
The lowest detail option is a quick sketch, which is great for testing ideas. For the sake of simplicity, there are only two frame options for sketches -- Half Body (which includes itself and anything smaller), and Full Body.
Half Body: $20
Full Body: $30
LOW DETAIL
Low detail is a slightly more refined sketch with at most a single tone of color and some light shading splashed throughout.
Head/Bust: $35
Half Body: $40
Full Body: $45
MEDIUM DETAIL
Medium detail incorporates basic colors and some additional shading but still maintains a relatively loose, sketchy feeling.
Head/Bust: $50
Half Body: $55
Full Body: $60
HIGH DETAIL
High detail has a greater emphasis on the more polished look and fully rendering out crisp shapes using complex color blends within the paint to get a superior degree of precision in portraying your concept.
Head/Bust: $60
Half Body: $70
Full Body: $80
MULTIPLE SUBJECTS
I am currently open to multi-subject work up to 3 characters per piece. Additional characters are +60% of the base price each.
BACKGROUNDS
I am currently only offering simple backgrounds, a splash of color or a loosely painted suggestion of surroundings, which comes included in the base pricing. During times that I offer more detailed background work, the added price is calculated based on complexity of the background, ranging from +20% - +50% of base price of the piece.
General Terms
Once entered into a formal project contract together, you, the client, and I, the service provider, are agreeing to the following mandatory terms and conditions.A project contract is officially formed when you, the client, and I, the service provider, agree in writing upon the terms of what I will be creating, the general time frame for the project, and acknowledge a mutually agreed-upon form, general amount, and time of payment. Additional fees may be added later if the project is updated to include services requiring further payment, as mutually agreed upon by client and service provider. All projects may be canceled at any time until receipt of payment and not after.Payment is due up front unless otherwise specified in our work agreement.Prices listed are based in USD (United States Dollar) and should be paid in USD or eqivalent value of another currency. The only way I can take other currency is through PayPal.A mutually respectful work environment is mandatory to retain my services. I welcome reasonable questions, concerns, suggestions, and critique of my work at any time. I do not accept overly inappropriate, creepy, demeaning, degrading, or otherwise abusive behavior. In very extreme cases, failure to maintain a respectable work environment may result in immediate termination of remaining work without refund.I will show work in progress to commissioners and ask for input on changes. Request for major alterations are welcome during the beginning sketch phase of a project, but once it has progressed into the more detailed painting stage, I will only accept minor alterations.Please do not pressure me to complete work faster than our initial timeline. As part of the commission contract, we will define a reasonable timeframe together for the project by the time I accept any payment from you as a client. If you need work by a faster deadline than we initially agreed upon, you may request as such but are not entitled to it. On rare occasion, I may offer you a rush on the order for an additional minimal fee. I prioritize quality over speed and would prefer to always put my best work out for clients, so please understand this as my main aspiration behind each project.If for any reason you need to contact me outside of the progress updates I provide, please do so via Discord at your own convenience. I will already keep you in the loop with progress snapshots and ask for feedback while working on your project, but I welcome any additional questions, comments, or concerns you may have.I do not offer refunds. My work begins when I take the commission. You are buying the time I put into the project from concept draft to completed project, and as that time is not refundable, neither is your payment.
Copyright/usage
All products and services I provide are subject to the following copyright and usage terms.I retain the copyright to all work I produce unless otherwise negotiated before the formation of project contract. I always retain the rights to post my own work to my online accounts.Alteration outside of cropping for personal use (avatar, wallpaper, etc.) is not allowed. You are NOT permitted to edit the content I provide without my permission. Similarly, you are not permitted to allow or hire another person or entity, including LLM and Generative AI models, to edit, remix, reproduce, or train off of the content I have provided for you unless you obtain my consent in writing beforehand.Clients ARE allowed to post the content I have produced online, as long as I am properly credited as the artist/creator wherever possible and reasonable.Commercial use (mass replication, typically for sale, i.e. merchandise or similar) is not allowed unless negotiated prior to formal contract agreement, as this factors into pricing.You are not permitted to directly present as or imply by intentional omission that you yourself have created the content that I have produced for you. Please respect my role as a professional creator in the industry, as I respect all of my clientele.Violation of any of these conditions to a severe and malicious degree may result in penalties, up to and including revocation of your rights to post the content I have produced to online spaces, cause immediate termination of remaining work still in progress, and subject you to being added to a shared client blacklist, depending on the awareness of inappropriateness and the magnitude of violation.Potential penalties only exist for the worst case scenarios to protect myself. Under harshest penalty possible, any client, current or former, will retain the rights to own a personal copy of the work I have provided but may be otherwise restricted as previously mentioned.I am easygoing and understanding. Major issues and penalties are incredibly rare, so as long as mutual respect is provided, working with me is a smooth and pleasant experience. ♡
