Character Art, Brought to Life

Bringing your characters to life is one of my favorite parts of storytelling. Whether you’re preparing to share your book with the world, creating visuals for your readers, or just want to see your characters outside your own imagination, I’d love to create something special for you.

Style & Content Guidelines

I’m happy to work across most genres, with a few content limitations to keep my work aligned with my brand and values:

  • No horror

  • No explicit sexual content (NSFW)

  • No graphic gore

If you’re not sure whether your project falls within these guidelines, feel free to submit and I’ll take a look.

A Quick Note on Pricing

My rates are intentionally lower than standard market pricing because I want to make character art more accessible for authors. Each commission includes a non-exclusive license for both personal and commercial use, so you’re free to use your artwork for your books and related promotion. To keep pricing at this level, payment is nonrefundable once work has begun.
