Commissions

My illustrations are primarily semi-realistic humanoids, but I can easily lean into monsters, cartoons/anime, or full realism. I am also quite adept at graphical vector and logo work. Having references and a clear idea prepared helps me to create the perfect piece :)

I do not draw nsfw, political, or otherwise illegal content. Most gore is fine. If you are unsure about your commission or would like a quote, feel free to ask! The easiest way to contact me is through my email: [email protected]

Prices of commissions may change depending on the level of detail or amount of figures. If going through email, all payments are processed through Paypal. Alternatively, you can go through Artistree (bird button) for more commission and payment options.

Prices are negotiable depending on what you're looking for.


I hope to hear from you! :D

Layout Templates

Some general template references to help you plan your stickers!I work with 8.5"x11" pages that require additional borders and registry marks for precise and clean cutting. Below you can see some examples of sizes/shapes you can set up without encroaching on any of these requirements. The cut area (outer red rectangle) comes in about 0.5" from the edge, and the three registry corners take up an additional 0.5" of space. The green inner rectangle (another 0.06") represents the cut line if you'd like to set up "Easy-Peel" borders.

About Borders

Default
Every sticker will be given a cut border of 0.06". Please make sure you keep in mind that there should be at least 0.15" between each cut, not artwork. I do not go any smaller than 0.06" borders, but I can absolutely thicken the border upon request.Easy-Peel Borders
To make it extra fancy, I suggest adding an additional 0.06" border of backing paper to each sticker to help make it easier for people to peel. This would be done by kiss cutting the sticker portion, then die cutting an extra portion of just the backing. See my Etsy shop for examples! (Not meant for sticker sheets, but will do if requested)Inset Borders
I highly recommend doing inset borders for stickers sheets to create a clean looking cut with no white edges. How it works: instead of setting up a border on the outside of the image, I set it up inside the image. This also means that part of your image will be cut off, so be sure to allocate enough bleed for these borders (0.06" will do).Note
By default all borders will follow the natural edge of the artwork provided (why it needs to be transparent!). If you would like a specific shape (square, star, extra lump/space somewhere) please let me know and please provide a second version of your artwork with a sketch of your desired border.

Other Notes

Holographic Laminate:
The holographic laminate is ever so slightly thinner than the regular laminate, however both are still sturdy stickers. Holographic is also in limited supply, depending on the size of your order or availability of the pattern I might not be able to offer it. Let me know if you are interested and I will see what I can do!Manufacturing Note
I am a solo creator so I don't quite have the same capacity or speed as larger manufacturers. However, I make this up in providing great quality as seen on my Etsy page reviews. Please give it a look for further review or inspiration!This is also a service between friends and is not an official extension of my existing shop!

Submit a sticker request here!Before submitting please make sure:
- Your image is a transparent PNG (jpeg is fine if you are okay with a square shape)
- Your color profile is CYMK (if not, then please expect some color variance)
- You can provide a second version of your image with any specific details/border adjustments you would like to be made (optional)Process
I will reply to your request via email regarding any of my own questions about your order to make sure I understand your intent. From there you can send me your sticker image(s) via email and I will create a proof for you to review. Once your proof is approved I will begin the manufacturing process. Afterwards I will calculate the shipping price (price changes depending on weight/size) and send you a PayPal request before sending the order to it's final destination :)Payment and Potential Fees
Payments will be handled through PayPal (or Stripe if requested). I require that the buyer covers any transaction fees. An extra fee is added for images that are not properly set up (example: a border that needs to hug the artwork but it is a flattened square jpeg). Fees may also be added if the goal of the sticker(s) are unusually complex. I will inform you of any fees that may incur to give you a chance to fix or consider your options (should not be too high, some edits I likely won't charge for).Please Take Note
- You can pay at any point during the creation process, but I will delay shipping until the final payment is completed.
- You do not need to worry about formatting cut lines, I just need your image (ideally a transparent png for custom edges). If you have specific borders in mind, please provide a sketch on a secondary image.
- If I find that your requested sizes are not working out, I will let you know along with a suggestion as to what I would do to resolve it.
- Cuts may have a variance of 1-2mm even with registration marks, please expect a tiny amount of cut variance.
- Due to differences in monitors and machines, especially if switching from RGB to CYMK, please expect some color variance from what you see on your screen vs the final printed product.

Kotatsu DIY

Snippets of my DIY journey to build an authentic kotatsu in Alaska.

Trying to import a kotatsu is expensive, especially if you live in my state and don't have a ton of money to spend.Online DIY solutions aren't too great either. In my search they were either cheap-looking or a genuine fire hazard. The best DIY I found was an IKEA hack, but IKEA doesn't ship to Alaska! It's as my old peepaw said, if you want something done right you gotta do it yourself. And I wanted to be warm this winter.I went onto Ebay and imported a 29x29cm Metro kotatsu heater and a 80x80cm futon/mat set from Japan. Collectively they cost me about $240. At this point, I decided I was going all in.

While I waited for my items, I went online and hyperfixated on every reference I could get my hands on. My plan was to build the table itself from scratch using my family's workshop. I looked up Kotatsu, Kotatsu DIY, Kotatsu table, frame, blueprint, こたつ, こたつDIY everywhere I could. I saved images, videos, product information- anything I could get my hands on for reference and measurements. I found out in my Japanese searches that literally anything can be a kotatsu. However, I wanted to try to match that classic and familiar low-table look. Fun fact: the metro heater comes with a manual that gives amazing visuals for measurements, use, and installation that help immensely with mocking up the table- no Japanese needed.In the end, I came up with this layout.
NOTE: There were some small errors but for the most part this serviced me very, very well.

This is exclusively the table. You still need to buy the heater and provide some sort of blanketing element. It does not include cable storage or management, since I plan to add that as I go. To preserve accuracy I measured everything in centimeters.At this stage, I asked my father for workshop assistance. The first thing we did was look for a wood type. There were a lot of interesting options in town, like Zebrawood and Purpleheart, however I decided to use the leftover Walnut we had at the shop. It's the perfect darkness, and matches the calm, natural vibe of the futon/mat.

DND Christmas 2023

Gallery of all the stuff I made for my DND friends for Christmas 2023 (^u^ )/

I collaborated with a friend to put together a big, custom, one-of-a-kind Christmas gift for our DND group featuring our multiple campaigns. Without their financial support, this would not have been possible. Every single item is original in its design and illustration. The manufacturer we used was Vograce. We started this project early October and finished mid January.

Breakdown

LEATHERETTE NOTEBOOK

A5(210*132mm) / Blank pagesThis book took the longest to make as I had to come up with two full illustrations. It took 1-2 months to finish as I had worked on it on and off while moving to a new place. I drew it under the generic CYMK color profile in Clip Studio expecting the colors to be more muted in print, but was surprised how vibrant and almost oversaturated the actual print was. Definitely something I'll be keeping in mind for future projects.Regardless, it came out great! The manufacturer altered the alignment of the back illustration to the left which made it look off-center. The print quality is nice, the cover is hard, and the texture is satisfying to the touch. The spine portion was, if not near, perfectly aligned on every book which was something I was really worried about.I picked the Reflective Shores for the notebook because it was the first campaign we started as a group, and wanted to honor it.

STICKER SHEET

200*115mm / VinylThe sticker are second in line in terms of time-consumption. The Fable of the Wrath King took about 3-4 days to make. The Silver Lining stickers took 2-3. I ordered waterproof vinyls and they came out fantastic. Stickers and acrylics from Vograce usually have superb print quality and durability. I went for two different styles for these sheets and am pretty satisfied with how they came out.Coming up with poses and memes was super fun. We had a ton of ideas. The real challenge was trying to puzzle piece in all the content together while still being sizable. I put Wynrieth on my MUNBYN :)

PENCIL CASE

20*12cm / Oxford cloth / black zipperA pencil case for the Silver Lining. The idea behind this was that most SL players are more artistic, so a pencil case would be more relevant to this group. In this campaign, we had a character die. So on the back, Nihilus (warforged warlock), is replaced with Tabriel (short Tabaxi Bard). Both of whom I've posted art of.For the material I picked oxford for durability and ease of cleanliness, with a black zipper to match. One thing I would change is asking the manufacturing to stop moving illustrations to the left ;-;. It also seems like this fabric, or maybe this dye, doesn't get that dark. It's something I'll have to watch for in the future. Other than that, everything looks and feels great.

AIKO EMPLOYEE ID

7*10cm / Glossy / Long holeWe discovered that we could make these by chance, and decided to dedicate a series of employee IDs to an in-game foundation that a player character started in Fable of the Wrath King. We really had to think on how to brand it, and in the end we came up with this. There's a space on the front for players to write their names. On the back is a list of the people involved in the campaign, as well as a glimpse of the world map.I made this one exclusively through Adobe Illustrator. The colors on these plastic PVC IDs are a little muted, like the pencil cases. You can barely see the maples leaves. Just another thing to keep in mind if you ever order these. Like acrylic charms, they come with a protective film you can peel off. Overall, they feel very durable.

CORE RAINBOW ACRYLIC CHARM

2.5" (63.5mm) / Double sidedSince each campaign had two items, I wanted to think of something else I could do for Reflective Shores. A core component of Reflective Shores is, well, the cores. There are several cores each consisting of a different element. I thought a great way to try and do every core in one was to make a rainbow holographic acrylic charm that changes color depending on the angle.This one took the least amount of time to finish. I made sure to check with the DM to get an understanding of the core design without spoiling the gift. I really love how you can get the whole color spectrum on a single charm. I'll probably use this finish again.

Packaging

When the stuff finally came in we took a day to dedicate to packaging. We divided everything up evenly between all people. Counted, weighed, evaluated cost for international shipping, etc. Books, stickers, and pencil cases we wrapped together. The AIKO Employee IDs we stored in small envelopes that I stamped individually. And the rest, like the acrylic charm, lanyards, and chocolate coins, were stored in these burlap bags.

I ordered both the bags and plasic leaves off amazon and hand-sewed them together for a really pretty aesthetic.

We wrote a letter, which I won't share here, that we had signed and stored in envelopes. To personalize each letter, I asked everyone what their favorite color was and recreated it as a wax stamp. I always finish my wax stamps off with a gold paint marker. Really wanted to bring home that immersive DND feel.The wax took a couple tries to finesse the colors. I discovered that my black wax far overpowers my white wax, and so on. Experimentation was required.

Here is everything wrapped and all together. I made sure the envelope elements were safely tucked underneath the jute cord. Two are missing because they were already handed out in person.

For international gifts that were sent in the same box I needed to create some differentiation. I cut some tags using my Silhouette Cameo 4 to attach names to each of the bags and covered everything else once more in wrapping paper to apply naming stickers (and also preserve the surprise). The extra little squares there are some Tundra playing cards. Gotta spread some Alaskan influence.

Aaaaand shipped off!A couple friends wanted to collab on shipping gifts so some boxes are way bigger than the rest. Also threw in some other knick-knacks myself. I used my MUNBYN to create the labels and arrow stickers on the packages.Overall, it was a lot of fun creating custom Christmas gifts for my DND friends. I personally love wrapping and packaging. There was so much at one point that I did get lost in the details, but it all worked out and my fellow collaborator did a great job making sure everything was divided accurately. To give you an idea, I have a google doc that's 33 pages long from developing the ideas, working out the finances, handling the inventory, and finally shipping. This is also one of the biggest Christmas projects I've ever done. Not sure if I'll go this hard again, but I will probably do something like this once more in the future.

Delivered

Breakdown

DND CHARACTER STICKERSChibi DND stickers! Some several months prior I asked each player (who had multiple characters) which one was their favorite across campaigns. I used this to determine the characters to illustrate. My inspiration was actually an artwork I came across at work that transformed Pokemon into adorably simplified stuffed toys. I put my own spin on that, creating a new style to turn people's characters into little bite-sized chibis somewhat resembling a cookie. It's personalized, cute, and easy to translate to multiple mediums as you will see below!

DND CHARACTER MAGNETSUsing the same artwork above, I added an extra step (and a leap of faith) to turn those same stickers into magnets. It was difficult to figure out and required additional tools/materials I did not have on me... and a bit of testing at the near-death of my printer (never use printable magnet sheets, adhesive only).

MagnetsUltimately I decided on an adhesive magnetic backing, which cut pretty well on my silhouette machine (3mm kraft blade). I also learned how to use kraft blade, it is quirkier than I had anticipated. It is unable to turn automatically and requires additional cuts to angle to blade manually. Paradoxically, due to this complex shapes cut the most accurately because it forces the machine to constantly reangle the blade before continuing, whereas a continuous circle will appear oblong because it never needed to reangle. If you do this yourself, be sure to allocate enough room for these extra cuts to be made and understand that you only have one chance to send the cuts because the registry marks will be completely assaulted afterwards (learned this the hard way).

DND Character Sticker SheetsTo make sure that every recipient gets a sample of everything, I put together these sticker sheets featuring all their goobers on one page. I thought it would be adorable to serve up the stickers on a Christmas-themed baking sheet. It was a ton of fun to illustrate! Since I had some extra space, I also included an extra Among Us cookie sticker as a little treat. I did an inset die cut to make sure the edges were clean, and used the same kiss-cut technique as my other stickers for the rest.

DND CHARACTER PLAYMATS & MOUSEPADS

^{24"x14" Sublimated Playmat 2.5mm Thickness
9.25"x7.626" Sublimated Mousepad 2.5mm Thickness
Manufactured at Custom Mousepads}Before having to step away from my previous job (unforeseen health issues), I wanted to take advantage of the unique opportunity I had there and placed a future order for custom playmats and mousepads that would bear fruit months later.I used the chibi character art from the stickers to create a fleshed out design that felt fun and suitable for a mat format. The design went through multiple iterations that aren't all included here (the first ones looked so rough lol), and I am incredibly happy with the final result! I think it's very playful and helps reinforce that warm cookie feel. What helped the most was setting it up the order to give myself enough time to ruminate on the design/feel instead of just rushing through it all. I made sure that everything was at a quality that I couldn't wait to have myself.

JT Wedding Photo

^{6"x4" Glossy Photo Paper}At the end of our long-running FotWK campaign, we took an in-universe group photo during the wedding ceremony of Joshua and Tana featuring most of the main characters. To further celebrate the completed campaign and wrap it up in a nice bow I wanted to illustrate that moment! I did make some adjustments to ensure everyone's character(s) were present (i.e. the bird and sleigh in the sky). I also wanted it to have a tactile feel so I leaned heavily into watercolor brushes to render the piece. The sepia colors felt fitting for the technological level of the setting, and for nostalgia-maxxing.I printed and cut the illustration on photo paper to reinforce the simulated authenticity of the moment. Unfortunately, my printer is such a stinker when it comes to warm tones, so 50 sheets later (not exaggerating) with several layers of adjustments what you see is the best result I could get.NOTE TO SELF: FIX JAINA'S LEGS

I did not create the chistmas sticker design, only modified it. Unfortunately, I do not remember where/who I got it from (thankfully it's just for personal use).
