Open For Art Commissions: D&D, OC, Portrait & More

Hey everyone! I'm excited to announce that I'm officially open for art commissions! If you're looking to bring your characters, stories, or ideas to life through stunning visuals, you've come to the right place. I offer a wide range of illustration services, specializing in Dungeons & Dragons characters, original characters (OCs), portraits, and general illustrations. So, if you’ve got a vision, let’s make it a reality!

Why Commission Art?

Before we dive into the specifics of what I offer, let's talk about why commissioning art is such a fantastic option. In today's digital age, it's easy to find stock images or use generic graphics. However, commissioned art is unique and personal. It allows you to have something truly one-of-a-kind that perfectly captures your vision. Think about it – how cool is it to have a custom portrait of your D&D character, or a beautifully illustrated scene from your original story? Commissioning art allows you to:

• Bring Your Vision to Life: Have a character or scene in your head that you've always wanted to see? A commission is the perfect way to make it real.
• Get Something Unique: Forget generic stock photos. Commissioned art is 100% original and tailored to your specifications.
• Support an Artist: When you commission an artist, you're directly supporting their work and passion.
• Own a Cherished Piece: A commissioned artwork can become a treasured possession, a unique gift, or a special memento.

What I Offer: A Range of Illustration Services

Now, let's get into the juicy details of what kind of commissions I'm currently offering. I've got a diverse skill set and a passion for various art styles, so I'm confident we can find the perfect fit for your project. Here's a breakdown of my specialties:

Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Characters

For all you tabletop RPG enthusiasts out there, this is where the magic happens! I specialize in bringing your D&D characters to life with vibrant and dynamic illustrations. Whether you're a seasoned player with a long-running campaign or a newcomer rolling your first dice, I can help you visualize your character in all their glory. Imagine seeing your valiant paladin, cunning rogue, or wise wizard rendered in stunning detail. I'll work closely with you to capture their personality, equipment, and backstory, creating a piece that truly represents your character. Think of how amazing it would be to have a custom character portrait for your virtual tabletop sessions or to proudly display on your character sheet!

When you commission a D&D character, we'll discuss every aspect of your character, from their race and class to their physical appearance and personality traits. I encourage you to provide as much detail as possible – the more information I have, the better I can capture the essence of your character. We'll talk about their armor, weapons, magical items, and even their signature poses or expressions. I'm also happy to incorporate elements from their backstory or key moments from your campaign. The goal is to create a piece that feels like a true reflection of your character and their adventures.

Original Characters (OCs)

Do you have an original character burning in your mind, waiting to be unleashed upon the world? I love working with OC creators to bring their unique creations to life. Whether it's a protagonist for your novel, a character for a comic book, or simply a character you've dreamed up, I can help you visualize them in stunning detail. Creating original characters is an incredibly rewarding process, and having a professional illustration to showcase your OC can take it to the next level. Imagine finally seeing your character's design fully realized, ready to star in their own story!

Commissioning an OC illustration is a collaborative process. I'll work closely with you to understand your character's personality, backstory, and visual design. We'll discuss their clothing, hairstyle, facial features, and any distinguishing marks or accessories. I'm also happy to experiment with different poses, expressions, and backgrounds to find the perfect way to showcase your character. Whether you have a detailed reference sheet or just a general idea, I'm here to help you flesh out your OC's visual identity and bring them to life on the page.

Portraits

Looking for a unique and personalized portrait? I offer portrait commissions in a variety of styles, from realistic to stylized. Whether you want a portrait of yourself, a loved one, or even a beloved pet, I can create a beautiful and memorable piece of art. A custom portrait makes a wonderful gift for any occasion, and it's a fantastic way to capture a special moment in time. Imagine gifting a loved one with a stunning portrait that they can cherish for years to come, or commissioning a portrait of your furry friend to celebrate their unique personality!

When you commission a portrait, we'll discuss the style you're looking for, the pose and expression you want to capture, and any specific details you'd like to include. I can work from photographs or descriptions, and I'm happy to provide guidance on composition and lighting to ensure the best possible result. Whether you're looking for a classic and elegant portrait or something more modern and whimsical, I'm here to help you create a piece that perfectly captures the essence of your subject.

General Illustrations

Beyond characters and portraits, I also offer general illustration services for a wide range of projects. Need an eye-catching illustration for your book cover? A striking image for your website or blog? Or perhaps you have a specific scene or concept you'd like to see brought to life? Whatever your needs, I'm here to help. General illustrations can be used for a variety of purposes, from promoting your business to adding visual flair to your personal projects. Imagine having a custom illustration that perfectly complements your brand or a beautiful scene that captures the essence of your story!

When you commission a general illustration, we'll discuss the purpose of the illustration, the style you're looking for, and any specific elements you'd like to include. I'm happy to work with your existing branding or to develop a unique visual style for your project. Whether you need a simple and elegant illustration or something more complex and detailed, I'm here to help you create a piece that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.

My Art Style and Process

So, what can you expect from my art style and process? I strive to create vibrant, expressive, and visually appealing illustrations that capture the essence of my subjects. I'm comfortable working in a variety of styles, from realistic to stylized, and I'm always eager to experiment with new techniques and approaches. My process is collaborative and communicative, ensuring that your vision is brought to life exactly as you imagined it.

Here's a general overview of my commission process:

1. Initial Consultation: We'll start with a discussion about your project, your vision, and your budget. This is where you'll share all the details about what you're looking for, and I'll ask clarifying questions to ensure I understand your needs.
2. Quote and Agreement: Based on our discussion, I'll provide you with a detailed quote for the commission. Once you're happy with the price, we'll agree on a timeline and any specific terms or conditions.
3. Sketching and Feedback: I'll create initial sketches based on our discussion and share them with you for feedback. This is your opportunity to make any adjustments or suggestions before I move on to the final illustration.
4. Final Illustration: Once we've finalized the sketch, I'll create the final illustration. I'll keep you updated throughout the process and provide you with the final artwork in a high-resolution digital format.

Pricing and Payment

Pricing for commissions varies depending on the complexity of the project, the level of detail, and the intended use of the artwork. I offer flexible pricing options to accommodate different budgets, and I'm always happy to discuss your specific needs and provide a custom quote. I believe in transparency and fair pricing, ensuring that you get the best possible value for your investment.

I typically require a deposit upfront to secure your commission, with the remaining balance due upon completion of the artwork.
