Cel-shaded Portrait

Digital cel-shaded portrait

A custom cel-shaded portrait of your pet, favorite animal or OC, either as bust or as fullbody.

Cel-shaded means that colors are used flatly, which usually results in a less detailed portrait compared to paintings. Color gradients can be used. The portrait can be with or without shadows and with or without lineart.

For pets I need one or several good photos of each pet that clearly shows all of its individual features like colors, eyes, nose, muzzle, etc. and that ideally shows your pet(s) how you'd like to remember them. Feel free to send as many pictures as you like, the more I can reference the better your portrait will be!

For wildlife animals you can either send me some of your own pictures from the zoo or we can select from my own library, licence free images and from similar legal sources.

For OCs I need a character sheet and/ or existing artwork for reference, as well as a short description of each OC's personality and/ or the mood you want to be conveyed.

After I've received your order I'll get back to you via email to discuss the details of your commission. At that point, feel free to send over any additional images if you'd like to send more than the order form has space for.

The painting will be a .JPG file and have 300dpi and between 3000-6000 pixels in size minimum. You will receive an un-watermarked .jpg copy via email.
Your painting will usually be completed within 2-6 weeks once I've started. I'll show you progress shots so you can always see how far your painting has progressed!

Important:

The delivery time of custom painted works will naturally be much longer than that of independent works. Depending on order situation and complexities of the orders it can take several weeks or even months to complete your portrait. Please keep that in mind especially if you're purchasing commissioned artwork as a gift.
