The Process

Hello, you must seen a post saying that I’m available for hire, or just found out about my links in one of my profile. Neither ways, Thank you for your interest visiting my site!

1. Reach me out

Below, are the possible ways to reach me out. Please state your intention and expect me to respond within the day or as soon as possible.

The Process

2. Let’s Talk!

DETAILS, is all we need at first to visualize and plan things out. The more information is, the more accurate the work can be. I made a list of necessary information that should be discussed:

1. Canvas size (pixels or aspect ratio of the image) only if there’s size needed, if theres none, ill just pick one that suit the best.

2. REFERENCES
-frontal view of the character is enough if the task is also frontal view, but additional back view will help, and even side view if there is, will be perfect!
-reference of weapon if there’s weapon or any accessories included
-reference of the idea itself if you thinking of one, like poses, a scene, a background, a setting, mood etc.
-if you dont have a photo reference, describing it through words will do! (ex. A red glowing long sword with black hilt)

3. Any additional note I should know like you can say whats the character’s personality so it can be portrayed accurately in the design, (like we can easily distinguish a good or bad person through how they pose) its Background, race, etc. is optional but could help.

The Process

3. Rough Sketch

To make sure that our initial plan is solid and I understand things right, I’ll draw a rough sketch that will help the further sketch whether its about the pose, inventing a design or the whole composition. Check out images below for examples.

(Above are rough Sketches planning about the character’s pose)

(Above are rough Sketches about invention of a character’s design)

(Above are rough Sketches about the whole composition or concept of a piece)

Once it’s done, I’ll submit it for consultation if it’s right, if there’s things to add or fix for the
continuation of the Final sketch.

The Process

4. Final Sketch

A cleaner and more detailed version of the rough one, a sketch that is ready to proceed into linework to rendering to the final furnishing and detailing. It shows the glimpse of how the finish piece may look like.

I’ll submit a sketch once again and we’ll discuss whether it has to be revised or it’s now approved for the process of completion.

Once the final sketch is approved, a half payment (50% of the total rate) should be done for security purposes from scam and cancellation of a finish piece.

The Process

5. Work on progress

This is where you give the artist time to work on finishing the project, this may take about 3 days to 2 weeks depending on the project’s complexion and artist’s current situation.

most clients prefer to just surprise them with the final output, However, you may also request to see the progress.

The Process

6. Project Done!

We did it! It’s complete and now ready to use, or… to be revised if there’s something wrong lol.

You will recieve a lower resolution and watermarked version of the piece for checking. Once the full payment has been made, I will send the original file through Gdrive link or into your preferred email address. (Check out my paypal ID at Contacts)
