Hi, my commissions are open! 😊

HOW IT WORKS: 

Send me photo refs of a character/person and choose an emoji you want them mirroring (just choosing an emotion is okay too, but choosing from emojis can help your decision and is just a lot of fun) 

You’ll get a digital file of the artwork at 300dpi (hi-res) and 72dpi (for digital use!)

All payments are upfront and through paypal invoices

2+ characters is ok! 

If you’re interested, please DM me here or email me at [email protected]!

I never thought I’d find myself drawing a dragon man, but I’d do it again for Kojak

Hi! I love your illustrations and the way you use color, it's beautiful ^^ . A little question, what kind of texture do you use as base? It seems as if you add come kind of subtle noise ~ Cheers!

Hi, thank you so so very much! I don’t really use any texture as a base but I *do* add noise using the Ps noise filter at the end of my process. Some of the texture in my paintings comes from brushes too. I have a number of brushes that are meant to add some texture, but one of my favorite tricks is to use the fuzzy brush set to dissolve (on a seperate layer) and subtlety blur it with the gaussian blur filter. It’s very grainy, which I live for ✨

Digital Blending Tip: Use a transition color! 

Finally dusting off the cobwebs on my blending tip with a brand new blog post that addresses your most asked questions, like "How do you find a transition color?" and "This is just subsurface scattering, right??"

P+O 💕 (because it’s come to fanart now)

Olivia has visions of the future every single day. She died at one point in the story, and when she was brought back to life, she didn't have her visions for the first time ever. So Po, being the darling that he is, made it his mission to fill her day with surprises. Y'all 😭

Got three avatar emojis of my girls from the wonderful @liongirlart! She is doing them for an amazing cause. If you send her a receipt of a $15+ donation to a charity helping fight the wildfires in Australia she will draw your OC or fav character. She still has a few slots available so go check out her post HERE.
