A. You contact me with details of the commission you're thinking of getting. We discuss the details. I quote you a price. If you like it, you pay half up front.

I send you the full version when it is completed.

Questions
About the Artist
Growing up, I had a deep fascination for the fantastical worlds found in books, comics, and manga. Artists like Amy Brown and Brian Froud introduced me to the notion that a person could create an entire universe complete with beautiful and intricate settings and lovingly designed characters just using a pen, paper, and a bit of creativity, while mangakas like Mia Ikumi of "Tokyo Mew Mew" showed me how to add a bit of that pop sparkle that I love so dearly. Learning that someone could have such an ability inspired me to try to harness it for myself. I wanted to draw, draw, draw, with the goal of one day being able to bring peoples' ideas to life. Eventually I combined my love for drawing with my passion for computers and got into digital illustration. And ever since, I've never put down my tablet pen.
I've spent a great deal of time studying human anatomy to make sure that the body proportions and pose flow well together. And when I'm not working on a commission, I really enjoy experimenting with different digital drawing and painting styles and color schemes to learn what other possibilities are out there!
My favorite themes are fantastical creatures and monster people, D&D characters, plants, cats and other animals, atmospheric light and color play, alternative fashion, aesthetics, interesting color schemes, and anything that challenges me pose and anatomy wise.
I'm excited to help breathe some life into your characters or to just represent them in a different sort of light. If you have any questions that aren't answered in the FAQ to the left, feel free to ask me! I don't bite. ♥
