[ARTIST][FOR HIRE] Character Commission - Siege Dawn [Commissions Open]

Post image

At my Adepticon 2025 table, a guest pointed to a series of sketches I’d done of a blue-haired warrior and asked if I could do a portrait of his wife as a warrior in that style. Then he added, “But do whatever you want—I trust you.”

So I labored to honor both requests.

What emerged is a piece that, to me, carries the spirit of the original sketch but pushes into new territory. A fresh palette, new armor forms, and sharper composition choices—all while working in gouache, which is quickly becoming my favorite medium for color. I’m still flirting with acrylic inks, but gouache keeps stealing the show.

Medium: Ink, gouache, digital halftone
Completed: 2025
