ABOUT THE ARTISTMy current projects include private commissions of Dungeons & Dragons (and other TTRPG) characters, a trippy space mural at a local smoking lounge, and the development of my own Zine - Syzygy! (more info coming soon)I love playing ttrpgs with my wife and friends - my current campaigns include two homebrew Dungeons & Dragons games, and a new ttrpg called Stonetop set in the Iron Age.I adore baking and cooking; from my grandma's alfredo pasta to peanut curry to foccacia bread. I always cook way too much, but I'm always willing to share.I'm always happy to talk your ear off about:
Dungeons & Dragons
The Lord of the Rings
Atomic Blonde
The Backrooms
The X-Files
Commissions
The design process includes 3 rounds of revisions before work on the final illustration begins:- I will provide 4 rough thumbnail sketches for the client to review and choose from.- A second round of more details and adjustments is added to 2 of the rough thumbnails.- You will choose between the final detailed thumbnails, and add any last-minute adjustments, additions, or changes before I begin work on the final illustration.
This is the last opportunity for edits; I will not edit a finished illustration.
Timeline is anywhere between 2 to 10 weeks depending on the complexity of the piece, and I give weekly updates.
Rush orders are accepted, but there will be a rush fee of 40% to 60% of the base price depending on the timeline.
Final Illustration is a high-resolution PNG file delivered via email.
