Sheets & bases

Reference sheet - starting at $100

A good reference sheet introduces your character's design in a specific way: the main goal is to keep all the information about your character in one place, from the base colours to design details and accessories. Personally, I find it super important to preserve the base colours of the character/gear as simple as possible, thinking of future artists who will use this sheet to see and sample all the information your character has. Also, a reference sheet can feature who your character is, and it can be simple and minimalistic or can be a piece of art itself, with a fully painted background.The base price contains:- a full body drawing of your character (unshaded)
- simple background
- a colour palette
- a headshot or chibi (client's pick)The final image is high resolution, working on big canvas in 300 dpi, so you can enjoy every detail.Anything more complex - like an example image: several headshot, painted background, complex character - is up to negotiation! For tricky anatomy and/or extras, like multiplied head design, armour, jewellery, extra pages are possible to show all the information in details.

Custom Base - starting at $150

A good base is super useful for ARPG breeds - closed or open. It also serves designers well, who create adoptables. A custom base definitely highlights the uniqueness of a breed or can highlight a designer's work, using something else than the pre-made bases.The base price contains:- a full body drawing of your character (unshaded)
- 3 mane types
- 3 tail types
- simple background
- a colour palette
- a headshot or chibi (client's pick)The final image is high resolution, working on a big canvas in 300 dpi, so you can enjoy every detail.Anything more complex - shading, complex background, additional elements to the base, etc - is up to negotiation!

Comic pages

Both are also possible, but will have additional fees.Please note that I am an artist and not a writer. You have to write the story. I happily draw the story for you :)Base price contains:- 4 panels
