    Hey there! I'm Kati, a professional freelance Illustrator from New York. I have spent the past 10 years building my skills and reputation with my client base and am always looking to develop new work relationships! I value strong communication skills, swift, professional work, and overall client satisfaction. My work is 100% my own, and I do not support using stolen work/AI generated images. Please value and respect my time - my rate is clearly stated and non-negotiable. If your project needs to be rushed, additional fees will apply. I have worked with a multitude of commissioned work not limited to, but including: TCG Illustration Character Sheets/Concept Work Graphic Novels and Comics Key Art/Promotional Posters Storyboards Children's Books Officially Licensed Anime Work Patents Image Manipulation Informational Imagery Logos Business Cards Editorial flyers Book Covers/Full wraps Graphic Design/Editing Magazine Covers Beer/Wine/Liquor Labels General one-off commissions, especially focused on fantasy genre Strengths include: Photoshop Illustrator InDesign *Please note - 1.) I do not offer free samples of any kind. We may initiate a sample phase for a fee based on the level of detail you're interested in. 2.) Flat rate commissions do - not - include unlimited revisions. 3.) When sending out proposals - please include details! Timeline, desired style, things of this nature. It's alright if some things can't be shared until the artist is chosen, but general information is a MUST. I typically automatically decline if there is little to no information pertaining to the project. 4.) REPEAT: My current hourly rate is clearly stated and non-negotiable. If your project needs to be rushed, additional fees will apply. REGARDING GENERAL ILLUSTRATION SAMPLES: A full illustration from sketch, to color rendering + editing is NOT a sample. That is a fully finished piece, and will be treated as such for payment. I offer paid test runs of varying degrees, depending on the project/what needs to be demonstrated. Please feel free to inquire.

    I have a Master degree in animation from the Academy of Fine Arts of Zagreb (Europe) and more than 10 years of work experience in the field of animation. See more of my works on instagram @antemuralis_pekmez😊 You can get video game assets and animations, character design, music viedeo, logo design, stroyboard, animatic, commercial, explainer, festival animation, documentary, pretty much anything that needs movement :P This is what I can do for you: 1. Briefing: You tell me ‘hey Marta I would like a logo animation, an intro/outro, gif, explainer, whiteboard, stop-motion, music/lyric video, app web animation, game animation or asset, character design, background, book trailer, commercial, documentary, comic, etc.,… 2. Preparing the elements for the animation: I see your references, what style you like and provide everything that is needed for the animation. Model lists, turnaround of the characters (if needed we design them), height comparison charts, palette, backgrounds, assets, brush charts and so on. 3. Storyboard and animatic This usually goes for longer animations. I plan each scene of the animation as a comic book - the camera angle is set for each cut and a description is given to what does happen. Then each scene from the storyboard is timed. We exactly see how many seconds each cut takes. It's the first preview of the animation flow. We can already see if some scenes may need to change order, look longer, shorter, switch order, add or delete, because many times when something looks good as a static drawing it does not look good in a scene sequence. 4. Animation: key poses, phasing, clean – up and colouring After we're set on each scene I proceed to draw the key poses of every movement in each scene. Drawings are added in-between the key poses to crate smooth movements. Each drawing is cleaned and made as the final version. I colour each drawing. About me: I’m communicative, positive, hard working, passionate about animations, look up to Disney and Ghibli, would like to open my own animation studio. I hope to have a relaxed, fun and open minded atmosphere where you feel free to suggest ideas and enjoy your working time with me. My experience is that in such an environment the best creativity flows out. My work experience: I've studied animation for 5 years at the Academy of Fine Arts of Zagreb and have a Master degree in animation. I have more than 10 years of work experience in the field of animation. I've worked for 6 years at the HRT (the main television house of my country) on various shows providing regular monthly animated content. Outside of that regular job I made animations for many different institutions (universities, conferences etc.), had art exhibitions, performances and installations. For the past 2 years I've started freelancing thus entering the gaming industry (see sofl game on insta as ex.), doing commercials for different brands and ordinations, videos for different purposes (explainer, book trailer, theatre play, history museum shorts), app animation, logo design and animation, character design and animation, storyboarding and animatic, e - mail signatures, intro and outros, comics, costume design,... with people all around the world (US, Australia, Canada, Israel,...). I specialise in traditional animation or classical animation, cel animation, hand-drawn animation, also known as 2D animation: is an animation technique in which each frame is drawn by hand. I also do stop – motion, whiteboard, video editing, illustration, character design, storyboarding, rotoscoping, adding animation to already existing footage. My main programs are Procreate, Photoshop, Premiere and Soundbooh. Feel free to contact me and ask questions, wish you a lovely day M. A. Marta J.

    I am a Berlin-based freelance artist. For the recent 3 years, I helped my clients from all around the world to communicate the spirit of magic and adventure to their audience. As a game dev professional, I like to focus on creating illustrations, keyframes, concept paintings, and character designs with a strong storytelling aspect.

    Hello! My name is Mary, and I have been illustrating children's books since 2014. I work both traditionally (hand-drawn illustrations: like pencils/paints/etc) and digitally. I have skills in ink, gouache, colored pencils, graphite, watercolor, and digital artwork. All of my hand-drawn work is done and then scanned into digital files for delivery. I also do interior book design and layout for printing purposes as well as cover art and design. Check out my portfolio for some of my work. I am also willing to provide other examples upon request. I have illustrated over thirty books for self-published authors and traditionally published books. My illustrated books are for sale on Amazon and other self-publishing platforms. Unless specifically requested, I do retain the copyright for all of the work I create.
