ABOUT ME

Born and raised in South Texas since my birth in the good ol' spring of 2003, I'm someone who knows all about the recent sweltering summer heat.
The exact moment I knew I was dedicating my life to art was at a $5 cinema screening of 2012's How to Train Your Dragon, when the violin in Romantic Flight started playing.

Welcome to my all-about commission page! Here you can find the specifics of commission pieces in galleries with a brief description of each piece. And if you have any questions, you can either contact me on [email protected] or come by https://ko-fi.com/southesthern_co for further specifics.


I offer 6 different lineworks! Please pick the one you would like me to work with (starting from the left):
1. Mechanical Pencil: used to amplify softness; shading is a mixture of linework and subtle shades
2. Dip Pen: clean lines with thin ends; includes the most hatching and minimal color shading
3. Ink Pen: directly interprets traditional sketches, includes history marks from the sketch
4. Lineless: artwork is shaped majorly by colors; any linework serves as complementary detailing
5. Graphite: the default medium with the most detailed and realistic style; drawn with fine lines
6. Ink: contains the most experimental shading and thickest lines, typically paired with flat colors
P.S TRADITIONAL MATERIALS are scanned and colored in digitally. Digital canvases may include remnants of original paper; those can be removed or kept at the client's request.P.P.S. Due to the nature of Ink, the final sketch must be approved by the client before inking starts, as linework WILL NOT be altered digitally once transferred to a digital canvas.
