About it

Character illustrations, with simple backgrounds or detailed settings, portraits, half or full body busts. I work only and exclusively with original and characters you own the copyright of: no fanart, celebrities or other copyrighted material. The style is what you see in the pictures.

Creative process

Before you can book the service and pay the deposit, I would like to know about your idea, if you have any special requests, moodboards to make me understand certain elements, preferences and so on.

Once the bureaucracy is put aside, I will start working for you. I will provide you with constant updates on progress and send you, in order of time: a draft of the pose, the sketched lineart, the clean lineart and the final drawing in low resolution. You will receive the final one in high resolution upon payment of the balance.

What do I need from you

To draw your illustrations I need several things:

  • your idea;
  • cosa ti serve: puoi scegliere tra ritratto, mezzo busto, corpo completo, con uno o più personaggi;
  • detailed description on characters to be drawn or settings, also extracts from the book;
  • indications of particular positions or actions to be staged;
  • indications of the colour palette you would like to use;
  • final dimension of the image;
  • indication on use (whether only digital or also in physical copy).

Terms of use

  • Only for non-commercial use, unless there are agreements to that effect. If you want to use my illustrations for commercial purposes (e.g. for the cover of a book or for gadgets to be sold), you must ask for my consent first, so that we can agree on the copyright and the right remuneration.
  • You may not claim the illustrations as your own, nor share them without due credit.
  • It is forbidden to remove the signature and credits.
  • It is forbidden to modify the image in any way (my brand is at stake).
  • As an artist, I can publish your commission in low resolution on my social networks and on my website.
