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?
- Start by sending me an email me with relevant information (see below).
- We discuss the details so I can start working.
- I send back a rough sketch to start.
- Once the client is satisfied with the sketch, I move on to the rest of the piece.
- 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.
- 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?
