Send me a note if you're interested!

-I draw and paint original and fandom-related characters and scenes from Fantasy and popular genres (i.e. Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, Middle Earth, The Witcher, Warhammer, Sherlock, Dr. Who and more!).
-I also design characters based on a written description, as well as creating semi-poseable Clay+Cloth dolls!
-As I work in traditional mediums- pen, pencil, watercolour- you'll get a high res. photo file to use in any non-commercial way, though I do ask for you to give me credit and link my dA page.
-For the 'action dolls', I'll be shipping from the USA, (shipping rates not included in prices).

-Payment via PayPal or Western Union.


And here's the good stuff:

Character Study:
Ink only. $17. Ink/Pencil and Watercolour. $17. (single character, high detail. Add $7 per character after 1.)

   

Mature Content

   

Comic/Scene:
Ink/Pencil and Watercolour. (Single panel comics/scenes are $20. Add $7 per panel. Add $5 per character after 2 in Scene picture)

    

 

Mature Content

 

**For comics, depending on the level of detail and complication of the piece, the price may vary.
*** Comic strips are a lot of work to plan, so please serious inquiries only.


Fantasy Dolls:
Depending on your character, these dolls stand between 4 1/2" and 6" (11 & 15cm) tall. I use polymer clay for the fully detailed faces, hands and feet, with felt and leather bodies- once again, depending on your character. They're semi-poseable and quite sturdy.

More cloth, less clay: $25 (not incl. shipping)

More clay, less cloth: $35 (not incl. shipping)

**Shipping is usually around $6 or $7 in the USA. Elsewhere is between $14 to $17.

   

And the ALL NEW Plushies!: Plushy doll: $38
Once again, depending on the character, height will vary, but the average size is about 12 inches, (30cm). Made with felt, stuffing, and sometimes leather, my plushies are quite durable as I hand-sew every single stitch, yet soft and irresistibly cuddleable. No detail is spared and each one is completely unique and different. They take quite a lot of effort and time to design and make, thus they’re a little more expensive than the clay-cloth dolls.

**Shipping will be similar to the clay-cloth dolls depending on your location.

I tailored the interview just slightly, mostly adding more from the interviewer, to make it flow more smoothly in the context I chose.
First time I’ve played at this- hope you enjoy!


"During my research for my highly anticipated book "Tamriel's Blooded", I came upon a rumour of an 'incurable vampire'. While most of the characters I interviewed over the course of a century were celebrities, famous and infamous, and all too glad to have their name in a bestseller-to-be, it took me years to track down this rare specimen, (all the way to the frigid wastes of Skyrim!), and even longer to 'pin him down' for an interview. Reclusive, like most of his kind, he was altogether quite different than any vampire I've heretofore met. His manners were pristine, his appearance cleanly and well-kept, and the apologetic, sheepish way in which he answered my questions were quite endearing- a refreshing change to the unnerving looks and overwhelming confidence of most of my interview candidates.
Without further adieu, I treat you to a piece of unedited source material not yet seen by public eye." 

1. Greetings, sera. Tell me your name?
(The fellow glances around with a nervous fire in his eyes, as if expecting to spring a trap by speaking.)
This isn't going to be published, right?
( I smile assuringly and he blushes- as far as I can tell- and answers with a mild stutter:) E-Earon, sera.

2. Thank you. Now relax. Think of this as like...therapy, yes?  How old are you, if you don't mind?
(He sighs and his lanky form crumples a little.)
Can I just say I don't know?
No.
(He refuses to meet my eye, and smooths back his silky white hair.) As you wish then. I may have to estimate....around 200 years? I look old, and feel old, but I am young enough for a Dunmer.
(I always get an odd feeling with this next question, especially around vampires, but I ask it anyways.)

3. What food tempts you?
(Surprisingly enough, he laughs, but there is sadness in his soft eyes. He counters with a question.)
I understand you are a scholar on all matters Vampiris Sanguinaris? (He sighs) Very well.  Blood, of course. Warm, running, flowing, throbbing. And that is why I am always hungry. I will not break my fast.
(His look seems far away now. I decide to change up my routine to bring him back.)

4. What about schooling? Did you attend anywhere in particular?
I...was schooled by my parents until my younger brother was 15...then they scrounged up enough coin to send me to the local Mages Guild for formal training. What dear, blessed people....I miss them....
(I clear my throat to politely remind him of the question.)
Forgive me. I studied Conjuration and Destruction magic from several Guilds across Morrowind mainland and Cyrodiil. Yes, I know...you're wondering how this pathetic bag of bones could manage any sort of spell, even less destroy anything with one-
I was thinking no such thing, sera.
(He only inclines his head politely with a sad smile.)

5. On an entirely different note, what animal are you, or are you most related to?
(His face falls again, and he bites his pale lips.) An odd question, milady. But I will try to answer. I have been called a 'beast', a 'mindless animal', and 'savage creature' many times. I do not feel, personally, like those names fit me...nor do they do any justice to our animal friends. If I must compare myself to one of them, I guess I would say...an elf owl? Is that too specific? They like to hide in holes, and they are tiny, and sleep during the day. Plus: elf. (He actually almost smiles again!)
I like that comparison, sera. They are quite cute....like you. (He blushes profusely at my flirting, but the smile grows, making the answer to my next question quite obvious.)

6. So, are you straight, gay, or what?
(His eyes widen and he gulps.)
-No, I am not coming on to you, sera.
(He laughs nervously, then says without hesitation:)
I am straight.

7. Simple enough. And...again, unrelated: Have you hurt anyone in any way?
(The traces of his smile vanish once again, and he lets his shoulders slope sadly.)
Who hasn't? I mean, I used to slap around my brother in play...that probably hurt a little. I'm sure I stepped on someone's toe once or twice...I'm clumsy like that. And...(he swallows hard.) And I've been...forced to use my magic as a means of defending myself... So, yes. I have.

8. Have you killed anyone before?
(He starts to chew on his short nails, and grow restless in his chair.)
Yes.
Anyone in particular? (I pry.)
Everyone is someone in particular to somebody.
(I shall have to be content with this answer. He is unwilling to detail.)

9. Well, moving on! What class are you? As in high class, medium, or low class?
Class? As in...classy? Well...I...would have said low, because, as you may have noticed my opinion of myself is at the bottom of the pit. But...my...first wife- (All of a sudden, he looks like he's about to burst into tears.) -would scold me... And my present wife would force me into a lovely, but stiff Radiant Raiment garment or two to emphasize the highness of my class. (He sighs and shakes his head, forcing yet another sad smile.) Medium. I'll say medium.

10. And strengths? Please don't say none.
(Again he surprises me with a genuine laugh.)
I am that predicable? Yes, I would've said none. But I will attempt to flatter myself and find some sort of..strength.
(He thinks hard for a moment, his glowing eyes bore into the table between us and his mouth moves in silence.)
I think Celeste would've said...I have the strength of being weak. I am soft, sensitive. I feel much. And it hurts. But even when my heart stopped beating, I still could love...? Does that count? I feel the pain of others? I'm sorry, I am the most boring person you could've chosen to interview.
11. No, sera, you're doing wonderfully. Just stay with me. This next one might hurt a little. Any family to speak of?
(He takes a deep inhale and breathes it out slowly. I can hear the tremor in the flow of his breath as he ponders his answer. Sensitive may have been an understatement.)
Yes. Family...lots...
Lots?
Ah, no. (He shakes off his distracted air.) No, not lots. Uhm...mama and da. They...passed a while ago. They weren't young when they had me and my brother, but they lived long and happy lives. Gods bless them. My brother- is it alright that I do not mention his name?
Quite.
He...I haven't seen or heard from him in over a century. I have no idea. I never knew any other relatives.
(Changing the order again, to lighten his mood:)

12. Any hobbies?
(He looks at me a little exasperated.)
Hobbies?
As in, things you do for entertainment? Fun?
No.
Oh come on!
(He scratches his arm, and loosens his neck with a muffled crack.)
You promised this won't be published, right?
Are you doubting my word?
No, no, of course not. I'm...sorry. Fine. Yes, I have...pastimes. I...like to whittle, uhm, figurines out of wood for the little folk around the town. She would probably kill me if she found out, but I made two for Lady Illari's twins. (He slaps his palm to his face.) I shouldn't have told you. But please, I swear I didn't talk to them. Just...set them out, and you know, they found them. I wouldn't dare talk to them.
(I am not sure how to reply to this, so I smile graciously, and move on.)

13. Got a crush?
That word. Crush. My...brother used to tease me with it.
(He sighs nostalgically.) I love my wife. Taarie.
But do you have a crush?
Does a crush have to be romantic?
Crush, hero-worship, bromance. It is all game.
I...uh...had a sort of crush on...someone I shall not name here. It was before I was taken in by Taarie, and it was nothing serious. I don't even think she knew.
You should name her. Please.
(That gulp sounded painful.) She went by Dunriel, back then. Please, don't publish this. And I...have a lot of admiration for the Nerevarine. They say he actually still lives, you know?
(His boyish enthusiasm made me chuckle, and he blushed again. Only to pale drastically at my next question.)

14. Thought about marriage or kids?
As I sketched earlier, I have been married once before, and I am currently married. Children....(He covered his eyes for almost an entire minute, and looks up with wet cheeks.) Let's not go there. If you don't mind.

15. Of course, sera. For the sake of my notes, I'll ask you: are you human, ghost, werewolf?
As a scholar of the condition, I won't explain to you how vampirism is incompatible with the beast-blood. I am Dunmer, like you, milady- I don't mean like you actually- you are much too lovely, and gracious, and wise to be compared to an undead vagabond like me...
You're quite the gentleman. (I smile encouragingly.)
Well...thank you. (He looks away awkwardly, but a smile playing at the edge of his mouth.)

16. Any pet peeves?
My lack of a backbone? Not literally, obviously-(he breathes a soft chuckle.)- but I'm little better than a doormat for most people. Or so I've been told.

17. Ahh, well I'm sure, other than your strength in sensitivity, you have some special abilities?
Abilities... Hmm. Celeste taught me how to print books. Taarie and her sister have taught me how to make clothes. And an heroic acquaintance, whose name I am not allowed to speak, taught me how to fistfight. (He shrugs frustrated.) These don't answer the question do they?

18. They'll do just fine, sera. Thank you. Now. Any nicknames?
Well....my name- Earon- means 'ocean' in a form of ancient Elvish. The ocean is cold, pale, ever restless, and never sleeping. My brother used to call me 'Chub', in sarcasm. My heroic acquaintance likes to call me 'Boss', again in sarcasm. Does 'darling' count as a nickname?

19. Heh. Not really. But your answer is good. Do you have any birth defects that you are comfortable speaking of?
I wish I had something interesting to say, like one leg is longer than the other, or I have a hunchback and a bad arm and yet I still excel in the magic field. I don't. I would say I am one big birth defect, but first of all, I am not big, and secondly that would be insulting to my lovely, incomparable parents.
Did I catch a reference to a Wayrest play?
Perhaps.
You are well read then!
My first wife...(He swallows again.)...ran a book store and printing press.
Ah, yes. How lovely.
Aye. She was.
(Before he can break down again, I hurry with my next question.)

20. Do you have any pets? Sidekicks? Or a partner of any kind?
I do better on my own. Less likely to blow someone up or nick them with clumsy weapon wielding. I have been known to...tag along with folks before. Again, I am not permitted to give a name.

21. How mysterious! Now I am quite curious about this nameless heroic acquaintance. We shall have to talk after the interview. Do you have a picture of you? Other than the one you gave me for my notes?
I'm sorry, I do not. I don't know how she got the one I gave you painted, and how it is so realistic! But, looking at it, you understand why I avoid mirrors, yes?
Other than the fact that you’re a vampire?
Good point.
Well, you're plenty good looking in my book.
(He chuckles.) And what book might that be? I'd love to read it.

22. We're almost through, sera. How about this one. Someone stole your sweetroll?
This is figurative, right?
Something like that. Just going for a reaction.
Ah, I see. My sweetroll. Oh. As in literally, if I had a sweetroll? (He looks a little embarrassed by my insistent nodding.) I'm not overly fond of them, so I don't think I'd mind too much. All that sugar, you know? Gives me sugar-blues.  

23. On a less sweet note, who or what faction is your archnemesis?
(He sighs deeply.)
I could try to be clever and say archenemies don't exist in the real world, but I know from experience that they do. I'd rather be on good terms with everyone, though I wouldn't expect to be liked by all. But...if I must name one? The Dawnguard. Isran especially. I do not hate him, but my every breath has been hunted and haunted by that man and his blind desire to wipe the slate clean of every Blooded being, regardless of their beliefs. I used to think his cause was just- yes, even in my current state- but too many harmless creatures have died under his hammer, and he would see them burn even as they sought desperately for a cure. Am I getting too carried away?
No! Please don't stop.
(He sighs again. The fire in his eyes grows calmer.) I do not think it is my place to criticize, but...all creatures deserve to be measured individually. Not as a handful. Thus...I bear no hate for the Dawnguard. There are good members. And...I hear rumour of a vampire living in their midst unchecked?

24. I shall have to look into this rumour! Thank you for mentioning it. Three more questions , sera. One: Where did you grow up?
On a small farm in Deshaan, mainland Morrowind.

25. Ah, wonderful! I come from Mournhold. And...(I hesitate for reasons obvious.)...Any tragedies you would like to speak of?
(He bites his tongue and stares at me, seemingly debating whether to burst into tears or to run. At last he speaks chokingly a single word:)
Celeste.

Last but not least, sera, (I quickly intervene.), if you were offered the chance, would you be cured of Vampirism?
(His eyes are still full to the brim with brine, but he looks soulfully at me.)
I can't be cured.
But what if?
Then yes. Gods! Yes!!!
