by Henrik Larsen 48 views

Hey everyone! I'm excited to announce that my commissions are officially OPEN! If you're looking for some awesome artwork, you've come to the right place. I'm really passionate about bringing your ideas to life, and I pour my heart and soul into every piece I create. Whether you have a specific character in mind, a scene you've been dreaming of, or just a cool concept you want to explore, I'm here to help make it a reality.

What I Offer

I offer a wide range of commission types to suit your needs and preferences. From detailed character illustrations to dynamic action scenes, I'm comfortable working in various styles and genres. Here's a breakdown of some of the things I can do:

  • Character Illustrations: Bring your original characters, fan favorites, or even yourself to life in stunning detail. I can work from written descriptions, reference images, or a combination of both to create a character that truly captures your vision.
  • Concept Art: Need help visualizing a character, creature, or environment for your project? I can create concept art that explores different ideas and helps you nail down the perfect design.
  • Fan Art: Got a favorite character from a game, movie, or book? I'd love to create a piece of fan art that celebrates your passion. Just let me know who or what you have in mind!
  • Backgrounds and Environments: Set the scene with a beautifully rendered background or environment. Whether it's a lush forest, a bustling city, or a surreal landscape, I can create a backdrop that adds depth and atmosphere to your artwork.
  • Custom Designs: Have something unique in mind? I'm always up for a challenge! Let's chat about your ideas, and I'll do my best to bring them to life.

I'm proficient in a variety of digital art techniques, including line art, coloring, shading, and special effects. I use industry-standard software and equipment to ensure that your commission is of the highest quality. I'm also committed to clear communication throughout the process, so you'll always be in the loop on the progress of your artwork.

How to Commission Me

If you're interested in commissioning me, the process is simple! Just send me a direct message (DM) with the following information:

  1. A brief description of your commission: Tell me what you have in mind! The more details you provide, the better I can understand your vision. Be sure to include things like character descriptions, poses, background details, and overall mood.
  2. Reference images (if applicable): If you have any reference images that can help me understand your vision, please include them in your message. This could include character designs, poses, color palettes, or anything else that you think would be helpful.
  3. The type of commission you're interested in: Let me know which of the commission types listed above (or something else entirely!) you're interested in.
  4. Your budget: Please let me know your budget so I can tailor the commission to fit your needs. Prices will vary depending on the complexity of the artwork.

Once I've received your message, I'll review your request and get back to you as soon as possible. We can discuss your ideas in more detail, talk about pricing, and work out a timeline for your commission. I'm always happy to answer any questions you may have.

Let's Talk Details and Pricing

When it comes to pricing, it's important to remember that the cost of a commission will depend on several factors. The complexity of the piece, the level of detail required, the number of characters involved, and the overall size and scope of the artwork all play a role in determining the final price. I strive to offer fair and competitive rates while ensuring that I'm compensated for my time and effort. I believe in transparency, so I'll always provide you with a clear and detailed price quote before we move forward with your commission.

Here's a general idea of how I approach pricing:

  • Complexity: A simple character portrait will generally be less expensive than a full-body illustration with a detailed background. The more elements involved in the artwork, the more time and effort it will take to complete, and the price will reflect that.
  • Detail: The level of detail in your commission also affects the price. A highly detailed piece with intricate linework, complex shading, and numerous small elements will cost more than a more stylized or simplified piece.
  • Number of Characters: If you'd like multiple characters in your commission, the price will increase accordingly. Each additional character requires additional time and effort to draw and render.
  • Size and Scope: The overall size and scope of your commission can also influence the price. A larger piece, or one that requires a significant amount of time to complete, will generally cost more than a smaller, simpler piece.

To give you a more specific idea of pricing, let's break down some examples:

  • Simple Character Portrait: A headshot or bust of a single character with minimal background could range from $50 to $100, depending on the level of detail.
  • Full-Body Character Illustration: A full-body illustration of a single character with a simple background could range from $100 to $200, depending on the complexity and detail.
  • Detailed Illustration with Background: A more complex illustration with a detailed background and multiple characters could range from $200 to $500 or more, depending on the scope of the project.

These are just examples, of course, and the actual price of your commission may vary. The best way to get an accurate price quote is to send me a DM with a detailed description of your project. I'll be happy to discuss your needs and provide you with a personalized quote.

I understand that budget is an important consideration, and I'm always willing to work with you to find a solution that fits your needs. We can discuss different options, such as simplifying the design or breaking the commission into smaller stages, to help make your vision a reality within your budget. I also offer payment plans for larger commissions, which can make the process more manageable.

The Creative Process: From Idea to Masterpiece

Now, let's talk a bit about the creative process. When you commission a piece of art from me, you're not just buying a product; you're investing in a collaborative journey. I believe that the best artwork comes from a strong partnership between the artist and the client, and I'm committed to making the process as enjoyable and rewarding as possible for you.

The first step in the process is communication. As I mentioned earlier, the more details you can provide about your vision, the better I can understand what you're looking for. This includes things like character descriptions, poses, background details, color palettes, and overall mood. Reference images can be incredibly helpful in this stage, as they allow me to see exactly what you have in mind. Don't be afraid to share your ideas, no matter how big or small. Even seemingly minor details can make a big difference in the final result.

Once I have a good understanding of your vision, I'll start working on a sketch. This is a rough draft of the artwork that allows us to explore different compositions, poses, and layouts. I'll send you the sketch for your feedback, and we can make any necessary adjustments before moving on to the next stage. This is a crucial step in the process, as it ensures that we're both on the same page and that the final artwork will meet your expectations.

After the sketch is approved, I'll move on to the line art. This is where I create the clean, detailed outlines of the characters and other elements in the artwork. I pay close attention to anatomy, perspective, and other technical aspects to ensure that the linework is solid and professional. I'll also send you the line art for your review, and we can make any final adjustments before proceeding to coloring.

The coloring stage is where the artwork really starts to come to life. I use a variety of techniques to create vibrant, eye-catching colors that enhance the overall mood and atmosphere of the piece. I can work in a variety of styles, from realistic shading to more stylized, painterly techniques. I'll send you progress updates throughout the coloring stage, so you can see how the artwork is developing and provide feedback along the way.

Finally, I'll add any finishing touches, such as special effects, lighting adjustments, and other details that will help to polish the artwork and make it shine. Once I'm satisfied with the final result, I'll send you the completed artwork in a high-resolution format that's suitable for printing or sharing online.

Throughout the entire process, I'm committed to clear and open communication. I'll keep you updated on my progress, respond to your questions promptly, and be receptive to your feedback. I want you to feel like you're an active participant in the creation of your artwork, and I'll do everything I can to make the experience a positive one.

Why Choose Me? Passion, Dedication, and a Love for Art

So, why should you choose me for your next commission? Well, there are a few things that I think set me apart. First and foremost, I'm incredibly passionate about art. I've been drawing and creating for as long as I can remember, and it's something that I truly love. When you commission me, you're not just hiring an artist; you're hiring someone who is genuinely excited about bringing your vision to life. I pour my heart and soul into every piece I create, and I'm committed to delivering artwork that you'll cherish for years to come.

I'm also dedicated to providing the highest quality service possible. I believe in clear communication, attention to detail, and a commitment to exceeding your expectations. I'll work closely with you throughout the entire process to ensure that you're happy with the results, and I'm always willing to go the extra mile to make your vision a reality.

But perhaps the most important thing is that I truly love what I do. Art is more than just a job for me; it's a passion, a calling, and a way of life. I believe that this love shines through in my work, and I'm confident that you'll be able to see the difference.

So, if you're looking for an artist who is passionate, dedicated, and truly loves what they do, I encourage you to send me a DM. I'd love to hear about your ideas and discuss how I can help you bring them to life. Let's create something amazing together!
