Professional Character Design + Customs

Posted 4 years, 10 months ago (Edited 4 months, 20 days ago) by WhiskeyWorks

Howdy! Welcome to my reconstructed commissions thread! A lot in my life has changed over the past few years, but my love of creating and designing unique and dynamic characters across a broad range of genres has not. This page has been fully revamped from its original stylings to include new and more relevant content as I embark on the next leg of my ongoing artistic journey. While this page contains plenty of pertinent samples, you can view my full portfolio, below.

Just an awesome pre-production dude with a B.F.A. in Animation, a B.A. in Equestrian Studies, and a passion for character design.

PLEASE NOTE: I am only taking custom character designs, redesigns, and storyboard commissions at this time.

I excel at:
Developing expressions
Conveying personality through pose
Human, animal, and anthro characters
Dungeons & Dragons PCs/NPCs!

Prices vary depending on character complexity and commission type.

For more information or a personalized quote, please send a private message through TH, or find me on discord at SexBomb.

Character Design/Redesign/Customs: $120+ USD || Storyboard Panels: $60+ || Commercial Projects: +30%

Turnaround time varies, and I will do my best to provide an accurate estimate during our initial conversation.

Character Design ($120+ USD): A broad selection of character designs, both personal and professional. Designs are full-body with the option for supplementary poses, headshots, expressions, outfits, etc., for an additional charge. Focus is on exhibiting personality through pose, expression, and colour palette while maintaining a good view of the character for future artistic reference. Weapons, magical effects, props, companions, and advanced outfits/designs are reflected in a personal quote. No species or genre is off-limits... I can draw it all!

Storyboard Panels ($60+ USD): Replicating the look of a classic animation storyboard panel (with a little extra oomph), these are generally formatted in a 16:9 resolution, and feature a desaturated colour wash. The linework and shading tend to be a bit messier, with clear construction lines and sketch work. Dialogue bubbles are an option for a more comic panel styling. Additional characters and complicated scenes will be reflected in a personal quote. Storyboard commissions can include pre-designed characters, and are priced per panel.

Prices for waist/thigh-up start at $30 and go up based on character complexity. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you're interested in discussing the details more in-depth. Thanks for the interest!

do you take custom character designs with mostly description and (some) reference pictures? :0c

Absolutely!!

Edit: That's actually my favourite way to work.

I'd love two separate headshots from you, if that's alright! One of this character and this character. If you only have time for one though, you can just pick the one that looks more interesting to you.

I'd be happy to work with you, but I do have a bit of a list going right now. If you're willing to wait a week or two, I'd be happy to draw both headshots for $30 a piece, or $60 total. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you're still interested and we can hash out the details. Cheers!

With your character design work would you do outfit design for existing characters? I have one gal in particular who needs a bit of a revamp soon when she changes warlock patrons lol

I'd be happy to design a new outfit for a pre-designed character... I'm actually working on one of those right now! Thanks for asking!

How much would a ref sheet be? The character doesn’t have any physical refs yet, but exists in description
