Commissions

PRICING

  1. My prices are largely based off of the complexity and nature of the character, background and composition. Therefore, I offer a general price range for my pieces.

  2. Fully finished/rendered, optional background: 50-60 USD

  3. Flat colour, optional background: 20-30 USD.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

  1. I will NOT draw NSFW, and I will not replicate another artist's style.

  2. I will NOT change my stylistic features; you are paying for my art style.

  3. I will offer you a final price after you have described what you wish for, and provided me with reference. This can be negotiated, but that will only mean that I will spend less/more time on the piece.

Work in progress

The short stories I am currently working on or editing will be featured here. For a more in-depth look at my process, follow me on Threads!

"I remembered the day it all started. So much chaos. By the time it fell quiet, there had been virtually no survivors. None except for us, by some miracle of divinity. Or irreverence."- Dust to Dust

"Full of unsaid words clinging to the air, hushed breaths of snow misting the trees, and crystalline streets, masking summer’s memory."- Postmortem Interval

"The decrepit old terrace of my apartment where I had wasted many nights was nothing but a blur in my distant memory now. For people like me, and Marco, there was only one purpose; and it was progress."- Unstifled Prayer

"The Goddess stood with one hand outstretched, fingers curling as if beckoning unseen souls closer, while the other rested protectively over her heart."- Forgotten Gods

"To all those who wander alone, may you be visited by a spark."

Whisper of the wind

A dream. A poem. An unfinished canvas. When destiny calls your name, do you heed her plea, and relinquish all that which you know? The winding path of future and past stretches endlessly in all directions. Will you find solid ground if you stray from the road, or is destiny truly inevitable after all?Every night, Miya dreams of a city engulfed in flames. The air is thick with ash, and in the heart of the chaos rises a majestic white castle, otherworldly and impossible. During the day, she tries to ignore them, burying herself in the quiet life she’s built as an orphan in the seaside town of Skystead. But the dreams refuse to let her go.
