You know them intimately – the hesitant hero, the cunning sorceress, the world-weary warrior. They live in your mind, drive your plot, and whisper their lines as you write.

That's a kind of magic we can create together.

What Fellow Authors Are Saying
Love and appreciation are not enough for how I feel about this artwork turned out. I am an indie writer and to see my beloved main character come to life in such a way means the world to me. She was perfectly brought to life. I look forward to coming back for more character work. Do I recommend? A thousand times over, yes!
Blown away with how incredible Jan's art is & how she managed to bring to life a character from my friend's book based only on the written descriptions. Will definitely be coming back & Jan is just so lovely to communicate with! So incredibly happy!
I am stunned with how these came out! I loved them so much I got three variations of my FMC and she's exactly what I pictured when I wrote her! Jan is patient and knew exactly how to translate my ramblings. The process was seamless and quick!! Already got another one in the works.
Artist gets the vision like no one else and makes what you want happen! So beautiful, such incredible, thoughtful work. Care to detail is immense, responsive to messages and quick to make edits you request.
I loved this! they communicated very well and captured everything i wanted! It was amazing to see my OC come to life, ill for sure be coming back!
He did it again! Definitely delivered my MMC from my upcoming debut novel Miracle of the Phoenix! He showcased my characters more friendly side and battle ready side in two variations! Everytime there is art commissioned, I always leave wanting to commission more.
Jan was absolutely wonderful to work with and did a great job taking my description of my character and bringing life to them in two separate variations that both captured different stages of the character's journey!
My very first commission experience couldn't have gone smoother, I'm SO incredibly happy with the piece - thank you, Jan! Definitely recommend this artist to anyone considering commissioning character art!
The quality is top notch, her customer service was legit the best I have ever had going above and beyond to capture my vision. It turned out even better then I could ever imagined
Repeat customer and I was as impressed this time as I was the first. Aside from the obvious top notch artwork, her customer service is something that puts dedicated customer service groups to shame. I will be coming around for a third time, and so should you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a commission?
To ensure each author's character receives the focused creative attention it deserves, I manage commissions through a request system rather than instant purchase.
This allows me to understand your vision first. Please start by clicking the "Request Commission" button on this page and filling out the form with details about your character.
What happens after I submit the request form?
I personally review every request, usually within 24 hours. I'll then email you directly. We might discuss your vision further, clarify details via email, or if your concept is a great fit , I'll confirm acceptance!
Once accepted, I'll provide the next steps, including instructions on how to finalize your purchase.
Can you illustrate multiple characters from my story together?
Yes! Creating scenes featuring several characters from your novel or series interacting is definitely possible.
Please indicate the number of characters when you fill out the request form, as the scope, timeline, and pricing will be adjusted for group pieces.
How long does it take to create the character art?
Once we've finalized the commission details and the process officially begins, the digital artwork itself typically takes about 2 weeks to complete.
The complexity of the character and scene will influence the exact timing, which I'll estimate for you when we confirm the commission.
What if I only have a written description, no existing visual references?
That's perfectly fine and very common! A detailed written description focusing on appearance, personality, attire, and key items is often the most valuable starting point.
Part of my service involves interpreting your text and creating initial visual concepts based on your description.
What rights do I have to use the commissioned artwork?
Once the final portrait is completed, you have full rights to use the artwork in any commercial manner you see fit.
I understand the importance of having complete freedom over your commissioned piece, whether it's for personal branding, merchandising, or any other commercial use.
To ensure you're fully covered, I am more than willing to assist and sign any necessary documents that confirm your ownership and rights to the artwork.
