How to work with me
MY DESIGN PROCESS:
My illustration process is super collaborative and very visual.I have clients send over all their image references, character vibes, and any color schemes they want reflected in the characters or background art. From there, I create 3–4 thumbnail sketches for you to review, you can choose one, combine elements from multiple, or tell me exactly what you want.Once you’re happy with the direction, I move into a rough draft → second rough draft → and a final rough draft if needed. After that, we lock things in and move to the final line art, full color, and any SFX touches if you want them.
Available Payment Methods:
