Art by Co
Illustrations and Design
Hey, thanks for visiting my website! I'm an illustrator who specializes in multiple anime styles, with experience working on projects big and small for clients all over the world. Take a look at my gallery and contact me to get your own custom art made!
Retro Anime
Styles of the 80's and 90's
These examples of my artwork are inspired by shows from the 80's and 90's, especially Sunrise shows (Gundam, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Outlaw Star, Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho). I can make screenshots, posters, album covers - you name it!
Other Styles
Concepts and styles from various series
This gallery features my examples of modern anime, splash art and concept work, and fanart from video games and tv shows. I can study and replicate a variety of styles - just ask!
Character Reference Sheets
Character Designs and Concepts
I love seeing production art and reference sheets from different series and try to capture that feeling for your characters too. Whether it's expression headshots, character turnarounds, multiple outfits or accessories, I can provide concept sketches and colored lineart for your characters. Finished pictures are also large enough to print!Take a look at the gallery below for examples of different characters and styles I have made.
Chibi Art
Miniature Caricatures
These are examples of my chibi caricatures. Chibi is a Japanese slang word describing something small or miniature, and also refers to art styles that shrink characters into tiny, toy-like proportions.
Commission Options
Illustration Price Guide
Interested in a custom picture? I offer multiple commission options to fit many price ranges or budgets - if you have any questions, just ask! I primarily draw retro anime, but can approximate some other series and styles by request. Prices are subject to change based on level of complexity or time involved. I may be unable to take on all requests and will decline those that I can't fulfill due to other commitments, time, subject, or any reason stated or otherwise - nothing personal. Examples include NSFW / sexual content, gore, mecha, controversial subjects or content I'm uncomfortable depicting or endorsing (political ideology, social movements, etc). Please click and view my Terms of Service if you have questions - every commission will adhere to these terms.
-Listed prices are for personal-use works; commercial-use prices vary for rights or licenses.
-All finished pictures (excl. icons) will be at least 8.5x11 inches in dimension at 300dpi.
-Lineart and Transparencies are available with finished pictures free of charge!
Icons
$40
If you want to add some new flare to your social media profile, or maybe need some minimal art for a character biography, my icons are a budget-friendly option for customization.
Half Body
$75+
Half body artwork is a great option to show off more of your character, try out new outfits, or convey the extra gestures and expressions used in support conversations and visual novels.
Full Body
$120+
Full body artwork is best for showing off finalized designs, concepts and poses that help to tell everyone about your characters - the sort of art you would see in a game manual or production works.
Scenes & Screenshots
$150+
I can make scenes and "screenshots" featuring your characters in different situations or adventures you would see in a tv show. Base price includes one half-body, background and screen effects (subtitles, camera time, etc.)
Character Sheets
$200+
Character reference sheets or "settei" are used in the art and animation industry as complete worksheets to help artists consistently draw character expressions, hairstyles, outfits, accessories and more. Base price includes two colored full body views (neutral poses) and one expression sketch, and scales with extra items or complexity.
Posters & Cover Art
$200+
Posters or Cover Art are designed as standalone or promotional pieces and typically feature extra elements, backgrounds and graphic design. These are drawn at higher resolutions on a larger canvas with printing in mind.
Group Pictures
$250+
Projects with multiple characters can overlap with other commission options to offer a slight discount based on the amount of characters and scene.
Chibi
$60
Chibis are another budget-friendly option for a custom gift, to make printable stickers, or just to see a bite-sized version of your characters!
Looking for something else? Ask me! I can add extra outfits, accessories and recolors, and I have graphic design experience making banners, wallpapers, stickers, t-shirts, flyers, tickets, brochures and more. Even if it's something I haven't done before, we can go over the specifics to figure out the right price.
About Me
Christian, Illustrator, Designer
I grew up watching cartoons and anime, reading comics, and playing video games; they were all a blast, but I had even more fun coming up with my own characters and stories. As far back as elementary school, I started to draw my favorite characters and try a variety of art styles and mediums. As an adult I continued to draw as a hobby, and one day someone asked if I took commissions! I never really considered that those shows and games I loved had artists working behind the scenes to make them a reality - so I took a chance and dedicated myself to illustrating. Art is one of my greatest passions, and I consider it my calling to use my art skills to serve others and bring their ideas to life.
Terms of service
Commission Agreement
I made this Terms of Service agreement as an extra level of protection for both you (as a client) and me (as the artist) - if you have any questions feel free to ask! I typically invoice payments through my PayPal business, and estimate about a week to complete your commission (on average); larger or more complex projects may take longer, but will always include progress updates.
I believe you deserve work in a timely manner, and as such I will not accept your payment until I can start your project - likewise, if I can't complete your commission for some reason, I will let you know immediately and issue a refund.
1. Prices are subject to change according to the complexity, difficulty, size and time involved of each individual piece. I also will not handle depiction of, nor should my work be associated with: illegal activities, religious, political (left and right) or controversial content, social movements, groups and ideology, activism, adult/NSFW/sexual or fetish content (including yaoi/yuri/loli/etc), body horror, and hateful images; neither should any works be used to promote or detract said subjects. Likewise, I will also refrain from using your characters, ideas and art in similar matters. Otherwise questionable material will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The Artist reserves the right to reject any commission for any reason, as certain subjects or requests may conflict with my personal morals, opinions or beliefs. 2. Clear and concise visual references and/or description of a commission idea must be provided by the Client. A preliminary quote will then be provided by the Artist. 3. The Client will not receive the original paint/drawing or un-watermarked digital image of the commission until final payments are made. Payments should be made before or at the sketch stage (exceptions may be made at the Artist’s discretion). 4. Sketch corrections for commissions above $50 are welcome to ensure the best result. Commissions under said price are considered as small works, and thus time revising sketches is not factored into the price. 5. The Artist reserves the right to reject critique and redline pertaining to artistic skill or style preference (i.e. anatomy, coloring style, etc.) if said critique reduces the artistic quality of the piece. 6. If the Client wishes to cancel their commission during the sketch stage they will be refunded 50% of what they paid. 7. If the Client wishes to cancel their commission during or after the coloring stage they will not be issued a refund. 8. Both the price of work and personal information of both parties are considered confidential and may not be disclosed to anyone without permission of both parties. 9. The Artist reserves the right to issue a refund and cancel a commission due to poor communication, inappropriate behavior, inability to effectively communicate, or if circumstances prevent the commission's completion. 10. The Artist ensures the Client will receive updates on commission when necessary. Clients are encouraged to check in when they feel it’s necessary for updates, assurance or reminders. 11. The Artist retains the right to display all commissioned work on any personal website, gallery, or journal. If the commissioned work is a time-sensitive gift the Artist may delay public showcase at the request of the Client. 12. The Artist retains ALL rights to the commissioned artwork, including the right to make prints and merchandise, unless otherwise stated for commercial commissions. 13. The Client retains all rights to their respective characters. This does not allow them rights to the commissioned image. 14. The Client may not profit from the artwork beyond the resale of a physical original painting or drawing (traditional media, not digital). This includes the sale of the digital files, or rights to the image. 15. The Client should not alter the artwork itself without expressed permission or use it for commercial purposes without expressed permission from the Artist. No art may be used as NFTs (non-fungible tokens). 16. The Artist may recycle sketches and preparatory works that were rejected by the Commissioner for other commissions or personal works. 17. The Client must read, understand and agree to all the above terms before entering into an agreement with the Artist. By sending payment, the Client agrees to the above terms.
