Hey everyone! I'm excited to announce that my commissions are now open! If you're looking for a unique character design, a stunning splash art piece, or a comprehensive character sheet, you've come to the right place. I'm passionate about bringing your visions to life and creating artwork that truly captures the essence of your characters. Let's dive into what I offer and how we can work together to make your artistic dreams a reality.

What I Offer

I specialize in a variety of services to cater to your character art needs. Whether you have a fully fleshed-out character or just a spark of an idea, I'm here to help. My services include character design, splash art, and character sheets.

Character Design

Character design is at the heart of what I do. Creating a character from scratch is an exciting process, and I love collaborating with clients to develop unique and memorable characters. My approach to character design involves several key stages, starting with understanding your vision. This means we'll discuss your character's background, personality, and role in your story or project. We'll explore different visual elements, such as clothing, hairstyles, and accessories, to ensure the design aligns with your character's identity.

I’ll provide you with initial sketches and concepts, incorporating your feedback every step of the way. This iterative process ensures that the final design not only meets your expectations but also exceeds them. I pay close attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of the character, from their facial expressions to their posture, tells a story. The goal is to create a character that feels authentic and resonates with your audience.

Whether you need a hero, a villain, or a supporting character, I'm committed to delivering a design that captures their essence. My style is versatile, and I’m comfortable working in a range of genres, including fantasy, sci-fi, and contemporary settings. I’m always eager to tackle new challenges and bring fresh ideas to the table. So, if you have a character concept brewing in your mind, let's collaborate and make it a reality.

Splash Art

Splash art is all about creating visually striking illustrations that capture the energy and excitement of your characters and worlds. Think of it as the cover art for your character's story, a single image that encapsulates their personality and the world they inhabit. I pour my heart and soul into crafting splash art pieces that leave a lasting impression.

When creating splash art, I focus on dynamic compositions, vibrant colors, and compelling storytelling. A great splash art piece should not only be visually appealing but also convey the character's emotions and the overall mood of the scene. I work closely with you to understand the key moments you want to capture and the emotions you want to evoke.

The process begins with brainstorming ideas and creating thumbnails to explore different compositions. We'll discuss the setting, the character's pose, and the overall atmosphere of the piece. Once we've settled on a concept, I'll move on to creating a detailed sketch, refining the details and ensuring the composition is perfect. From there, I'll add color, lighting, and special effects to bring the scene to life. I use a variety of techniques to achieve different effects, from soft and dreamy to bold and dramatic. My goal is to create splash art that not only looks stunning but also tells a story and draws the viewer into your world.

Character Sheets

A character sheet is an invaluable tool for anyone looking to bring their characters to life, whether for role-playing games, animation projects, or visual novels. It serves as a comprehensive visual guide, providing a detailed overview of your character's appearance, clothing, expressions, and poses. I specialize in creating character sheets that are both informative and visually appealing.

My character sheets typically include multiple views of the character, showcasing them from different angles and in various poses. This helps to provide a complete picture of their appearance and allows for consistency across different illustrations. I also include close-ups of key features, such as the character's face, hands, and any unique details. These close-ups are essential for capturing the nuances of the character's design.

In addition to visual references, character sheets can also include color palettes, clothing variations, and expressions. This ensures that your character remains consistent across different projects and mediums. I work closely with you to determine the specific elements that should be included in your character sheet, tailoring it to your specific needs.

Creating a character sheet is a collaborative process. I’ll work with you to gather all the necessary information and create a layout that is both functional and visually appealing. Whether you need a simple character sheet with basic views or a more detailed sheet with multiple variations, I’m here to help. My goal is to provide you with a valuable resource that you can use to bring your character to life in countless ways.

My Process

I believe in a collaborative and transparent process when working on commissions. Communication is key to ensuring that your vision is brought to life exactly as you imagine it. Here's a breakdown of my process, so you know what to expect when you commission me.

Initial Consultation

The first step is an initial consultation. This is where we'll discuss your project in detail. I'll ask you about your character, your vision, and any specific requirements you may have. This includes gathering information about your character's personality, background, and appearance. If you have any reference images or mood boards, please share them with me. The more information you can provide, the better I can understand your needs and create artwork that truly reflects your vision.

During this consultation, we'll also discuss pricing, timelines, and any other logistical details. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have and provide you with a clear understanding of the scope of the project. This is also a great opportunity for us to get to know each other and build a strong working relationship. I believe that a collaborative and open dialogue is essential for creating successful artwork.

Sketching and Conceptualization

Once we've agreed on the details of the project, I'll move on to the sketching and conceptualization phase. This is where I'll start to bring your character to life on paper (or, more accurately, on my digital canvas). I'll create a series of rough sketches and concepts, exploring different poses, expressions, and visual styles. These sketches will serve as the foundation for the final artwork.

I'll share these sketches with you and ask for your feedback. This is a crucial part of the process, as it allows us to refine the design and ensure that it aligns with your vision. Your feedback is invaluable, and I'm always open to suggestions and revisions. We'll work together to iterate on the sketches until we have a concept that we're both excited about.

Refinement and Detailing

With the sketch approved, I'll move on to the refinement and detailing stage. This is where I'll add depth, texture, and polish to the artwork. I'll refine the lines, add shading and highlights, and incorporate any special effects or details that are needed. This stage requires a lot of patience and attention to detail, but it's where the artwork really starts to come to life.

I'll continue to share my progress with you throughout this stage, providing updates and seeking your feedback. This ensures that you're always in the loop and that we're on the same page. I'm committed to creating artwork that meets your expectations, and your feedback is essential for achieving that goal. This iterative process allows us to fine-tune the artwork and make sure every detail is perfect.

Finalization and Delivery

The final stage is finalization and delivery. Once the artwork is complete, I'll make any final adjustments based on your feedback. I want to ensure that you're completely satisfied with the final product. Once you've given your approval, I'll prepare the artwork for delivery.

The final artwork will be delivered to you in a high-resolution digital format, suitable for printing and online use. I'll also provide you with any necessary files or documentation, such as color palettes or style guides. My goal is to provide you with a complete and polished product that you can use for your project. I’m committed to delivering artwork that exceeds your expectations and brings your characters to life in stunning detail.

I believe that the little things can make a big difference, and I'm meticulous about ensuring that every detail is just right.
