Artwork Examples Gallery
Below, please find samples of my artwork, and of the kinds of work that I have available to commission. While I am happy to negotiate to produce other kinds of work for you, too, there are main types that I offer:
My artwork is produced entirely digitally: there is no physical copy, although you are more than welcome to print out the final piece yourself. All my drawing is done in FireAlpaca using a Wacom drawing tablet.
If you're interested in commissioning me, please contact me with what you're looking for, and we can discuss ideas!
Story Illustrations
Illustrations - or, potentially, concept art - based on scenes from your own story or project. You would give me the details of events, context, setting and characters; and based on those I would work up an illustration of the scene to your specifications. These can be one-off pictures, or I could illustrate your entire book or other story in this manner if you wanted!
Price will vary, but starts from a base of £60 (GBP) for a scene of 1 or 2 characters in focus, fully coloured and shaded and with a background of moderate detail; (e.g. "New Uniforms" or "Landon in the Rain", below).
- Additional characters add £10 - £20 each depending on complexity: simpler / cartoonier / natural-ish animal characters £10 each; humans with fairly standard outfits around £15 each; characters with very complex outfits or designs (e.g. wearing detailed armour, robots) £20 each.
- Complex poses, e.g. battle scenes, or poses requiring the characters to be cast in trickier perspective, can add up to an extra £5 per character.
- Effects that interact with the characters, e.g. the magic powers being cast in the "Kasey Vs. Shadow" example below, are an additional £5 - £10 depending on their intensity.
- Minimalist backgrounds such as on "Landon's Crew" example, below, reduce the commission price by up to £10.
Character Reference Sheets
A full sheet of references for any of your characters: an ideal resource for keeping their appearances consistent, whether you're drawing them yourself, commissioning work from others, or sharing them with a team! Available for animal, human, or unnatural characters!
Standard reference sheets include one large full-body drawing of the character; a colour key; a full-body turnaround showing them from front, back, and both sides; and three additional expressions. Price will vary depending on complexity of the character, but for the standard sheet (e.g. the puppy reference sheets in the example gallery below) starts from £60 (GBP) per sheet for an standard animal character / £70 per sheet for a humanoid character / £80 per sheet for a very complex character (e.g. a complicated robot, a human in highly detailed armour, an alien with a non-standard anatomy).
Additional features can include:
- labels on the main drawing to clarify their significant design details (no additional cost)
- extra expression studies after the basic three (extra £5 per face)
- smaller full-body depictions of them in additional outfits (extra £5 - £8 per outfit, depending on complexity)
- images of their significant accessories (extra £2 per accessory)
Pet Portraits
Animated-character styled portraits of your beloved canine and feline (or other animal) companions! All I need is a few clear photos of the pet in question, along with a brief description of personality and any specific details you'd like included in the picture, and I'll get right on it!
Pretty much a flat rate at £25 GBP per pet for dogs, cats and other animals up to their size. Up to £10 more for large animals such as horses.
Pet Portraits by default have a blank background; simple backgrounds are an option at an additional £5 per picture.
Character Portraits
Animated-style portraits of the fictional characters of your story or world. Clear reference images are a must, as well as a description of the emotions you would like displayed. Portraits can either be for a single character or 'family groups' of up to five or so characters, and are drawn as though within a circular frame. Portraits by default have simple backgrounds, usually just a blend of colours, but can be made more specific on request.
Portraits start at £30 (GBP) for a single character, humanoid or animal, on a minimal background, additional characters an additional £10 each. Very complex or highly detailed character designs can add up to £10 more each.
