Introduction
[Introduction]
Hi! I'm Szell (he/they, adult), an autistic artist from Washington state, USA. I specialize in fantasy worldbuilding and designs, with the occasional dip into sci-fi and other things along those lines. I have been drawing people nearly every day since Kindergarten, and drawing digitally since 2018. I'm unemployed and living with family, and art is currently my only income. I hope to one day be able to get into college to work towards becoming either a professional character/costume designer, or a deep space astronomer, though that may be a while.
Szell's Commission Info
[Szell's Commission Info]
These are my terms and conditions, please read through carefully before reaching out to me.
Never use my art to train AI. No exceptions.
Be kind. I will not work with you if you are acting against me, my friends, or my communities.
Don't expect any hard turnaround date. I will let you know if something happens that may delay the work.
Be patient with me. The biggest risks are overwhelm and burnout, which I can't control.
Expect lots of check-ins and confirmations that what I'm doing is exactly what you want. I won't be offended if you ask for something to be changed.
Feel free to ask how progress is at any time, but don't ask every hour how close I am to being done.
It's okay to be human! Be silly, make jokes, you don't have to be professional, but I will match your level of seriousness. It will not affect the quality of the art.
You may ask to see more examples closer to what you're looking for if the ones I've provided aren't enough.
Pay half in advance. Worst case scenario, I can't complete your piece, and you will be refunded.
I will not do free art for you "for exposure" or any other reason, though art trades MIGHT be accepted.
Don't try to persuade me into lowering prices as these prices are already well below minimum wage where I live.
I have the right to say no for any reason I deem fit.
