FANTASY ILLUSTRATION AND CONCEPTS

My name is Kiyujara, I create fantasy-focused TCG and TTRPG illustrations. I enjoy reading historical fiction with a good cup of black coffee.

Commission Status

Commissions will reopen soon.
I'm open to working on freelance contract for TCG and TTRPG game illustration. Please contact me through e-mail!

Commission Info

As every illustration is different in one way or another, the commission length and time will vary according to the complexity required for a certain piece.Feel free to ask me questions, smaller details are negotiable.

The Commission Process

  • Make your request by filling out the Kiyujara Commissions Form linked above.

  • Accepted requests — You will receive an email from me with an estimated completion date, as well as the final quote for your request. If you've asked questions in the form, I will also answer them at this stage.

  • Declined requests — Happen typically due to last-minute day job demands / schedule changes. I do my best with what is within or slightly beyond my skillset, but if I don't think I can successfully meet a request, I will decline this.

  • To start commission, a 50% initial upfront payment will be requested once we have agreed on the details, and you are ready to go for it! 🙂

  • Upon receipt of initial payment, your piece will be added to the queue. I shall inform you once I've started, and will keep you updated as I go.

  • Once the illustration has been completed, I will send you a watermarked copy of the final version. High-resolution image file will only be sent once the remaining balance has been settled.

 
The Art Process

  1. Concepts – I will draft up (3) colored sketches that I will send over to you for notes, feedback and design clarification. These will be based off of the references and description provided.

  2. Revisions – Your requested changes will be resolved in this phase.

  3. Final commission sketch – Once you've approved the revisions, a final commission sketch will be created and sent over to you for final approval before we lock in on rendering.

  4. Rendering – I will start tightening up designs, and proceeding with rendering the illustration. There will be no cancellation at this point. You will be receiving WIPs and updates from me as your work is being completed.

  5. Final – You will receive the final pieces digitally signed in JPG / PNG format.

Payment

Payment schedules are flexible at a 50-25-25 split.I currently still work a day job at a design agency, so I will typically take about a week or two, for a complete illustrated piece, and about a week for a bust portrait.

Payment Process

  • All payments are in USD. I will not accept virtual coin / bitcoin / similar. Payment method will be through Paypal.

  • Initial 50% payment, to start work on the piece. Concept and Ideation – This stage will have sketches, color thumbs, concepts.

  • Remaining 25% payment, final piece is completed, signed, and prepared. Final high-resolution images will be sent once payment has been received.

  • Payments on every stage will be acknowledged through e-mail, and will serve as approval to move to the next stage. 🙂

Footnotes

* Glaze is not a watermark. It is a defensive layer added to preserve digital images from disruptive style mimicry. This will appear to have a texture-like effect onto the piece but DOES NOT alter the overall visual composition, lighting, color, or design of the piece. Learn more about Glaze here.

I look forward to painting your fantasy character!
