Commissions

What am I offering?

I’m always open for commissions.

Feel free to browse my portfolio for a glimpse of my work. On each of the menu’s you’ll find examples of either private or commissioned pieces.

My strongest artworks are the ones that play to the things I enjoy (fencing…). But you have something different in mind, do not hesitate to get in touch so we can have a chat about it.

A concise breakdown of what I usually do:

  • Fan art, original characters
  • Book covers and concept art
  • Drawings and portraits (
  • Posters, event signs, banners
  • Custom patches
  • Pet portraits
  • 3D models
  • Swords
  • Calligraphy

What does the process look like?

  1. Start by sending me an email me with relevant information (see below).
  2. We discuss the details so I can start working.
  3. I send back a rough sketch to start.
  4. Once the client is satisfied with the sketch, I move on to the rest of the piece.
  5. Usually, I email 1-2 more updates of different stages in the process. I can also get in touch to discuss specifics and ask for preferences about details before finishing the piece.
  6. The client is free to give feedback and ask for adjustments throughout the process.

+ The amount of time it takes for me to complete a commission varies wildly (a few days to a few months), depending on my availability, the complexity of the piece, and other factors. But I do my best to maintain as much communication and transparency as possible.

+ I generally work on a first-come-first-served basis (varies a little based on convenience, or if a client has a deadline such as a birthday). If I have more requests than I can handle, I’ll give you a timeframe, and if you agree to wait, I’ll put you on the “waitlist” and email you again as soon as I’m available.

I’m interested! What do I include in my email?
