our impact
Freelance illustrator specializing in character design and editorial spot work - I post full process breakdowns, not just polished final panels, down to the silhouette decisions that took three tries to nail on a recent commission. Sketchbook supporters get warmup sketches and works-in-progress; Full Res Access gets the layered PSD itself, source layers intact, so you can see the actual construction instead of a flattened export. I close new commission slots periodically to protect that pace - full-res files and process are never rushed to squeeze in more clients.

Closing new commission slots for two weeks
Closing new commission slots for about two weeks to clear a backlog and finally get to personal work that keeps sliding to the bottom of the list. Anyone with a commission already open isn't affected - this is only about not opening new ones for a bit, same pace, same process, once slots reopen.

Full process breakdown: three silhouettes before the right one
Posted the full breakdown for this week's character commission - rough thumbnails all the way through final line work. Took longer than usual because the client wanted three completely different silhouette directions on the table before committing to one, which is exactly the kind of decision that never survives into the finished panel but shapes everything about it.
