Any questions?
Do you accept custom commissions, and how does the process work?
Absolutely! I specialize in custom commissions and corporate projects, tailoring each piece to fit your brand’s narrative and vision. Whether it’s a traditional painting, a digital illustration, or a 2D/3D animation, I collaborate closely with clients to ensure the final product resonates with their target audience. The process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your objectives, brand identity, and creative vision. After that, I provide a detailed concept sketch or storyboard for your approval. Once finalized, I start the creation process, keeping you informed with progress updates and incorporating feedback to ensure the final result aligns with your expectations and brand standards.
What mediums and techniques do you use to achieve your semi-realistic, imaginative style?
I work across a variety of traditional and digital mediums, including painting, digital illustration, and 2D/3D animation. My semi-realistic, imaginative style is achieved through a combination of layered color techniques, fine detailing, and dynamic compositions. For traditional paintings, I use acrylics and mixed media to create vibrant, textured visuals. In digital illustration and animation, I utilize advanced software like Adobe Creative Suite and Blender to bring intricate concepts to life with fluid motion and impactful storytelling. This versatility allows me to adapt my style to fit both creative and corporate projects, ensuring a unique yet professional aesthetic.
How long does it typically take to complete a piece, and can I request progress updates?
The timeline depends on the complexity and type of project. For traditional paintings and digital illustrations, the timeframe generally ranges from 2-6 weeks. For 2D and 3D animations, it can vary from 4-12 weeks, depending on the length and level of detail required. I understand the importance of meeting corporate deadlines, so I provide a detailed timeline at the start of the project. Regular progress updates are part of my workflow, including milestone reviews and feedback sessions, to ensure the project aligns with your vision and timeline.
What are your pricing options for originals, prints, and custom work, and do you offer payment plans?
Pricing is customized based on the scope and requirements of each project. For traditional paintings and digital illustrations, prices start at $275, with corporate commissions and animation projects quoted based on complexity, duration, and deliverables. I provide a transparent pricing structure and detailed proposals for all corporate projects, ensuring clarity and alignment with budget expectations. For larger projects, including animations and extensive brand campaigns, I offer flexible payment plans and retainer options to accommodate corporate budgeting needs. Feel free to reach out for a customized quote tailored to your project’s objectives.
Do you offer certificates of authenticity or any special packaging for your artwork?
Yes, I provide certificates of authenticity for traditional artworks to guarantee their originality and value. For digital pieces, I offer high-resolution files with licensing agreements that outline usage rights, ensuring your brand’s exclusivity and protection. For corporate projects, I deliver professional packaging and branding options, including customized presentations, branded USBs, and secure digital delivery methods. I also offer white-labeling options to seamlessly integrate the artwork or animation into your brand’s identity. If you require special packaging for corporate gifting or branded merchandise, I’m happy to accommodate your needs.
