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:

  1. Send me a written description of your character backstory, mood, features, vibe
  2. Add any reference images if you have them (optional but helpful)
  3. I'll sketch first, you approve direction, then I ink the final piece
  4. 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.

As a traditional artist, I work with pen, ink, and pencil. I don't use AI or digital shortcuts. Every line on paper is unique. My style blends dark fantasy and surrealism, featuring strange creatures, expressive characters, and biomechanical textures. My characters seem to have wandered out of a forgotten myth. If your project requires unique artwork, we'll probably be a good fit. I take creative direction seriously and treat every commission as one piece — not a template. Before you order, message me with your idea. If my style fits your project, we'll make something memorable.
