I will design custom fantasy characters and creatures


About this gig
Looking for a character that doesn't look like every other AI-generated portrait out there? You're in the right place.
I'm a traditional artist who draws 100% by hand with pen and no AI, no digital filters, no tracing. Every line is original. My style sits somewhere between dark fantasy, surrealism, and Tim Burton perfect for original characters that feel alive, weird, and memorable.
Who this is for:
- Indie writers building original characters for novels or short stories
- Book authors (illustration and covers)
- Game developers needing concept art for creatures and NPCs
- Anyone with an OC (original character) they want brought to life in a distinctive style
What you get:
- A fully hand-drawn pencil illustration on paper
- High-resolution scan, cleaned up and ready to use
- Optional: the physical original mailed to you, signed
How it works:
- Send me a written description of your character backstory, mood, features, vibe
- Add any reference images if you have them (optional but helpful)
- I'll sketch first, you approve direction, then I ink the final piece
- You get the scan within the delivery window
What I don't do:
- Cute / chibi / kawaii style
- Photorealism
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
Do you use AI?
No. Every drawing is done by hand with traditional ink on paper. You'll see scan textures, real pen strokes, occasional ink bleeds — that's the point.
How many revisions?
Yes. Revisions happen at the sketch stage, before inking.
Do I get commercial rights?
Sure — use it for your game, book, merch, anything.
Can you color it?
My main style is black and white. If you want color, message me first — I'll let you know if it fits the piece.
