The Conversation
Every project starts with a conversation. You tell me what you're thinking — subject matter, placement, size, any references or themes that resonate with you. Don't worry if your idea isn't fully formed yet. Some of the best pieces start with just a feeling or a loose concept.
I'll ask questions to understand what matters to you and what you're hoping to achieve. This is where collaboration begins.
Exploring Ideas
For larger pieces, I start with thumbnail sketches — quick, rough explorations of different compositions and approaches. This is where I figure out how the design will flow with your body, what poses or arrangements work best, and how all the elements fit together.
These early sketches aren't about detail — they're about finding the strongest foundation for the final piece.
Refining the Design
Once we've landed on a direction, I develop the sketch further — working out anatomy, structure, and detail. At this stage you'll see the design taking shape and we can make adjustments together.
Collaboration doesn't stop when drawing begins. Your feedback shapes the final piece, and I want you to feel invested in every decision we make.
Final Artwork
The finished design is fully rendered — colour, tone, and all the details locked in. For some pieces this means a complete digital painting; for others, a refined line drawing that leaves room for decisions made on the day.
By this point, you know exactly what you're getting. The design is yours alone — it won't exist on anyone else's body.
