I feel like I should reintroduce myself - hello everyone, my name's Mea, I'm a freelance artist from South Australia, specializing primarily in digital art which has been my medium of choice since 2000, but I love dabbling in a little bit of everything else and experimenting.
I am disabled - permenant nerve damage that's becoming clearly by the day, as well as severe anxiety and depression that interferes with my daily life and leaves me borderline agoraphobic - something I'm still struggling to come to terms with after having a full career cut short through no fault of my own, but I'm doing the best I can to survive in this world just like everyone else. Me, my partner of over 12 years, and my cat-babies.
I make and sell prints of my artwork and make my own stickers by hand, as well as original sculptures, canvases and trading cards; I work on them in my own time when my body allows and list them in my shop - http://phoenixfireart.au - with no set schedule. Just as they get done. And they remain there until someone purchases them.
I take commissions for digital artworks via vGen.co/MeaKitty and Ko-Fi.com/MeaKitty - everything from quick doodles to full blown character illustrations like you see here; bringing a character that's only an idea - or at most a written description - is one of my favourite things to do. Having an idea in your head is different then seeing it laid out before you, and that's the kind of happiness I want to bring to the world with my artwork.
I love fantasy characters and creatures, I'm a huge D&D (and TTRPG) Nerd, I love indie games and developers, and I love supporting my friends. So I'm here asking two things - one, can we be friends? I have so few IRL and I love meeting new people, so if you're a friendly nerd or nerd-adjacent who likes what you see here, feel free to say hello in the comments. Two, can you support a freelance artist? I offer monthly rewards via patreon.com/PhoenixFireArtAu and Ko-Fi as you can see here, including first dibs on my work, and the offer of monthly art, and everyone gets an IRL mailed package if they give me their address.
PLUS I have a discord where I usually get way too over excited and share far too many WIPs of my work as I go looking for feedback and encouragement; http://discord.me/PhoenixFireArt if you'd like to join there and meet more like-minded people. It's a lovely friendly little community and everyone's welcome to join, and if any of this sings to you feel free to follow me for more nonsense delivered at random.
Thank you for reading.
