Art Services

I’m a South African illustrator with both local and International clients. I’m available for Illustration commissions and contracts of all kinds, but I’m particularly keen to do bookcovers, card art, splash art, and fantasy portraits/avatars.

Book Cover Illustration & Design

I’m an illustrator and a fully qualified graphic designer with 20+ years experience, so I can not only illustrate your book cover, but also design the cover, including typography.

Fantasy Illustration & Concept Art

I can create polished illustrations for use in card art, table top game magazines, and splash art for PC or mobile games. I’m comfortable doing full fantasy scenes and landscapes. I can illustrate established mythological/fantasy creatures, or reimagined versions…but I’m also just as comfortable creating original creature concept art from scratch or from brief. This portfolio showcases my skill in those areas.

Other Digital Art

As an illustrator and qualified graphic designer with 20+ years experience, whatever art or graphics project you have in mind, I can probably do it, and would love to. Whether you need me touch up a photograph, design your corporate identity, or do a full painting to hang on your office wall, I’m keen.

Illustration & Concept Art

If you need something conceptualized or illustrated, I can draw and paint in a variety of styles.

I can work from reference photos, or I can also conceptualize creatures/environments from your descriptions.

Type of Illustration Work I offer

The type of artwork I’m typically commissioned to create is fantasy art, scifi art, gaming art, and portraits, including illustrated face logos and mascots. I’m also fairly skilled with photo manipulation, so I could potentially be hired for digital matte painting or photobashing. I’ve occasionally done educational drawings too.

How I deliver your Illustration job

I’m a digital artist, so the files I provide you will be digital files. You’ll get a high res version suitable for print work, and a low res version suitable for digital/social media.

In terms of copyright, you can use these files for personal use (example wall art), or commercial use (example book cover art). Unless part of the contract, the artwork does not include resale or distribution rights (example reselling on stock sites).

My Illustration Tools

My main drawing tool is a Huion Inspiroy 1060p graphics tablet, and my main canvas is Paintstorm Studio, though I’m comfortable with, and frequently do use other professional painting applications, such as Corel Painter, Clip Studio Paint, and Rebelle Pro. I also have a second-hand ipad for gratuitous drawing in bed using Procreate.

No AI

I do NOT use Generative AI to create artwork, and I do NOT consent to having my artwork used to train AI. If you are on the fence with this topic, I strongly urge you to watch my YouTube video about the Impact of AI Art on the Creative Industry:

How I Charge for Illustration Jobs

I’m open for private illustration commissions of almost any scope.

For direct illustration commissions for my overseas clients, I offer PayPal or direct Forex transfer options. For local South African clients, I additionally accept EFTs in ZAR.
I also accept illustration commissions via Upwork, and Artistr.ee.
