Fantasy Art Commissions Open: D&D, RPG, And OCs
Hey guys! I'm super excited to announce that my commissions are officially open! If you're looking for stunning fantasy illustrations, custom artwork for your D&D or RPG campaigns, or want to bring your Original Characters (OCs) to life, you've come to the right place. I'm passionate about creating captivating visuals and I'm ready to pour my heart and soul into your projects. So, let's dive into the details and see how we can make some magic happen!
What I Offer
I specialize in a range of digital illustration services, focusing primarily on the fantasy genre. My goal is to create artwork that not only looks amazing but also tells a story and captures the essence of your vision. I'm flexible and always up for a challenge, so don't hesitate to reach out with unique requests!
Fantasy Illustrations
Fantasy illustrations are at the heart of what I do. I love crafting immersive worlds and bringing mythical creatures, epic battles, and enchanting characters to life. Whether you need a breathtaking landscape, a powerful hero, or a fearsome monster, I'm here to deliver. When commissioning a fantasy illustration, it's important to consider the overall mood and atmosphere you want to convey. Do you envision a sun-drenched elven city, a dark and mysterious forest, or a fiery dragon's lair? The more details you provide, the better I can capture your vision. Character design is another key element. Think about the character's personality, their attire, and their role in the story. Are they a noble knight, a cunning rogue, or a wise mage? Details like these help create a compelling and believable character. Composition and color are also crucial. A dynamic composition draws the viewer's eye and creates a sense of movement and excitement, while a well-chosen color palette can enhance the mood and atmosphere of the piece. I work closely with my clients throughout the process, providing sketches and progress updates to ensure the final illustration matches their expectations. I'm committed to delivering high-quality artwork that you'll be proud to display.
D&D/RPG Characters and Scenes
As a huge fan of Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop RPGs, I get a real kick out of illustrating characters and scenes from these worlds. There's something incredibly special about visualizing your beloved characters and the epic moments from your campaigns. If you're looking to commission art for your D&D or RPG character, I'll work closely with you to understand their backstory, personality, and appearance. A detailed character description is a great starting point – tell me about their race, class, alignment, and any distinguishing features. What kind of armor do they wear? What weapons do they wield? What are their key personality traits? Reference images are also incredibly helpful. If you have existing artwork, character portraits, or even real-life photos that capture the look and feel you're going for, please share them! For RPG scenes, think about the most memorable moments from your campaign. Was there a thrilling battle, a dramatic encounter, or a heartwarming moment of camaraderie? Describing the scene in detail will help me bring it to life. Consider the environment, the lighting, and the characters' expressions and poses. I love collaborating with my clients to create artwork that truly captures the spirit of their campaigns. I'm passionate about bringing your stories to life through art, and I'm excited to help you visualize your characters and adventures.
Original Characters (OCs)
Bringing Original Characters (OCs) to life is one of my favorite things to do! I love collaborating with creators to visualize their unique characters and stories. Whether you have a fully fleshed-out character or just a spark of an idea, I'm here to help you bring them to life. When commissioning artwork of your OC, it's essential to provide a detailed character description. This includes their physical appearance, personality, backstory, and any other relevant information. The more details you provide, the better I can capture the essence of your character. What are their strengths and weaknesses? What motivates them? What are their goals and dreams? Reference images are also incredibly helpful. If you have existing artwork, mood boards, or even real-life photos that capture the look and feel you're going for, please share them! I'm happy to work from written descriptions, but visual references can help ensure we're on the same page. I'm committed to working closely with you throughout the process, providing sketches and progress updates to ensure the final artwork perfectly captures your vision. I understand how much your OCs mean to you, and I'm dedicated to creating artwork that you'll cherish.

My experience extends beyond the typical fantasy fare, so if you're thinking of something unique or unconventional, I'm all ears. Maybe you have a sci-fi concept, a historical setting, or a contemporary scene you want to bring to life. Perhaps you need a book cover, a character design sheet, or a series of illustrations for a personal project. Whatever your vision, I'm here to help you realize it. I believe in open communication and collaboration, so I'll work closely with you to understand your needs and preferences. I'm always up for a challenge and excited to push my creative boundaries. So, if you have a project that's a little outside the box, don't hesitate to get in touch! I'm passionate about creating unique and compelling artwork, and I'm excited to hear your ideas.
Commission Process
So, how does the commission process work? I've made it as straightforward and collaborative as possible, ensuring you're involved every step of the way.
1. Initial Contact and Consultation
The first step is to reach out to me via DM (Direct Message). Tell me about your project! What kind of illustration are you looking for? What characters or scenes do you want to depict? What's your budget and timeline? The more information you provide, the better I can understand your needs. We'll discuss your vision, and I'll answer any questions you have about my process and pricing. This initial consultation is crucial for ensuring we're both on the same page and that I can deliver the artwork you're dreaming of. I'll ask about your preferences for style, color palette, and overall mood. If you have any reference images or mood boards, please share them! These can be incredibly helpful in understanding your aesthetic preferences. I believe in open communication and collaboration, so I'm always happy to discuss your ideas and offer suggestions. This is also a great time to talk about deadlines and payment options. Once we've discussed the details of your project, I'll provide you with a custom quote.
2. Quote and Agreement
Once I have a clear understanding of your project, I'll provide you with a detailed quote. This will outline the cost of the commission, the estimated timeline, and any other relevant details. Take your time to review the quote and make sure you're comfortable with everything. If you have any questions or need clarification on any points, please don't hesitate to ask. I want you to feel confident and informed before moving forward. Once you're happy with the quote, we'll both agree on the terms. This may involve signing a formal agreement or simply confirming via message that you accept the terms. The agreement will protect both of us and ensure that the commission process runs smoothly. It will outline the scope of the project, the payment schedule, and the usage rights for the artwork. Transparency and clear communication are essential to a successful commission, so I'm committed to ensuring that you understand and agree with all the terms before we begin.
3. Sketch Phase
This is where the magic starts to happen! After we've agreed on the quote and terms, I'll begin working on initial sketches. These sketches are rough drafts of the composition and character poses. They're meant to give you a general idea of how the final illustration will look. I'll send you the sketches for your feedback and approval. This is your chance to provide input and suggest any changes you'd like to see. Do you want a different character pose? A different background element? Now's the time to let me know. I believe in collaboration, and your feedback is crucial to creating artwork that you'll love. I'll incorporate your feedback into the next iteration of the sketches. We'll go back and forth until you're completely happy with the direction of the piece. This iterative process ensures that the final illustration aligns perfectly with your vision. The sketch phase is a critical step in the commission process, as it lays the foundation for the final artwork. Once the sketch is approved, we can move on to the next stage: the rendering phase.
4. Rendering and Refinements
Once the sketch is approved, I'll move on to the rendering phase. This is where I'll add detail, color, and shading to bring the illustration to life. I'll work on the piece in stages, sending you progress updates along the way. This allows you to see how the illustration is developing and provide feedback at each stage. Do you want the colors to be more vibrant? Do you want more detail in the background? Let me know! I'm committed to incorporating your feedback and making sure you're happy with the progress. The rendering phase is a time-consuming process, but it's where the illustration truly comes to life. I'll pay close attention to details, ensuring that the lighting, textures, and overall atmosphere are just right. I'll also refine the character designs, adding details to their clothing, armor, and weapons. Throughout the rendering process, I'll continue to communicate with you, keeping you informed of my progress and addressing any questions or concerns you may have. Once the rendering is complete, we'll move on to the final refinements.
5. Final Approval and Delivery
After the rendering is complete, I'll send you the final illustration for your approval. This is your last chance to provide feedback and request any minor tweaks. I want you to be absolutely thrilled with the final result, so I'll make sure to address any concerns you have. Once you've given your final approval, I'll prepare the artwork for delivery. This typically involves sending you a high-resolution digital file that you can use for printing or online display. I can also provide the artwork in various formats, depending on your needs. I take pride in delivering high-quality artwork that meets your expectations. I'll make sure the final file is properly formatted and optimized for your intended use. I may also include a smaller, web-friendly version of the artwork for you to share online. My goal is to provide you with a seamless and enjoyable commission experience, from start to finish. I'm committed to delivering artwork that you'll cherish for years to come.
Pricing and Payment
My pricing varies depending on the complexity of the illustration, the level of detail required, and the intended use of the artwork. I offer a range of options to fit different budgets, and I'm always happy to discuss pricing in detail during our initial consultation. Generally, prices are influenced by factors such as the number of characters, the complexity of the background, and the overall size and resolution of the illustration. More complex illustrations with detailed backgrounds and multiple characters will naturally command a higher price. The level of detail also plays a significant role. Highly detailed illustrations that require meticulous linework, shading, and texture will be priced higher than simpler, more stylized pieces. I also consider the intended use of the artwork when determining the price. Commercial projects, such as book covers or game art, will typically be priced higher than personal commissions. This is because commercial projects involve the use of the artwork for profit, and the pricing reflects the value of the artwork in that context. I strive to provide fair and transparent pricing, and I'm always happy to discuss your specific needs and budget. I want to make my artwork accessible to as many people as possible, so I'm open to working with you to find a solution that fits your budget.
I typically accept payment via PayPal. It's a secure and convenient way to transfer funds, and it offers protection for both the client and the artist. I may also consider other payment methods on a case-by-case basis, so feel free to discuss your preferences with me. I usually require a deposit upfront before beginning work on the commission. This deposit secures your place in my commission queue and helps cover the initial costs of materials and time. The deposit amount is typically a percentage of the total commission price, and it's non-refundable. The remaining balance is due upon completion of the illustration, before I deliver the final files. I'll send you an invoice for the remaining balance, and once payment is received, I'll deliver the final artwork. I understand that commissioning art is an investment, and I want to make the payment process as smooth and transparent as possible. I'm always happy to answer any questions you have about pricing and payment, so please don't hesitate to reach out.
