From Karolina, you get professionalism & experience
I have been drawing and painting for over 20 years, starting self-taught from a young age. I am also academically educated at NSCAD University and through continuous learning online, workshops, and visiting museums. When you order an art commission from me, you are ordering from an experienced and educated artist.
I use professional grade materials across many different subject matter and styles to create lively and elegant custom artworks. My previous art commissions include animal and people portraits, book illustration, album art, artwork movie props, character design and landscapes. I have a plentiful history working with clients since I have been providing my illustration services since I started practicing art. Throughout a project, I am great at communicating and being available for any questions, progress pics, and deliver work in a timely manner. You can expect to receiving preliminary sketches, color studies, and updates, as applicable to your project.

Get matching prints with your art commssion!
When your painting is finished, I will scan it in very high-resolution, which can be used to make prints. Simply add to cart:
With your permission, I will probably work on your art commission on my stream or your project will be edited into a time lapse, so you might even be able to even sit back and watch!
Art Commission Policy and Disclaimers
- The above pricing is for private commissions. All commercial commissions, especially requiring copyright transfer or licensing, need to be discussed separately. Otherwise, artist retains copyright and you may not reproduce my work for profit.
- Artwork under $500USD must be paid in full upfront, otherwise 50% of the total for the art commission must be paid upfront to start the project. The remainder will be due upon finish before delivery. No artwork will be sent out without full payment.
- No refunds are accepted after the project is started, unless the project is cancelled by the artist. The artist retains the right to refuse to work with a client. If a client is disrespectful and difficult and the project has to be cancelled, the artist will keep all sums paid up to that point.
- Artist is not responsible for uninsured, untracked packages that are damaged or lost.
- All portraits require well-lit, clear photographs. Please try take your photos in natural light and all flash photography will be rejected as reference material.
- Artist will send a sketch and progress pics of the piece throughout the process because the permanent nature of watercolor painting makes revisions near impossible without starting over. I strongly prefer critiques and changes be made at each stage of the project rather than alterations at the end when I can no longer make changes. Unreasonable requests at the end of the project will not be made.
- All deadlines such as Christmas, birthdays, weddings, or any other reason must be clearly stated or artist is not responsible for meeting said deadlines. Minimum expected work time is 3 days + shipping time for small projects, unless we agree on urgent delivery.
- Subject matter not accepted by the artist: newborns, babies covered in food, goofy caricatures, nudity in children of any kind, fursonas, portraits of cars (because I’m very bad at it), logos, book layouts (that’s graphic design), obscure fanart (fanart must provide references as if it were a photo commission), superheros. If you would like to discussion a different project, please contact me.
- By placing a order and paying the 50% deposit, the client agrees to these terms.
Quick FAQ
I can’t afford to pay the full service right now, what can I do? I understand completely and I try make my art as financially accessible as possible. There are several options. If over $500 USD, we can split the cost of the art commission into as many payments as necessary or we can do the art commission in stages and pay when each stage is finished over weeks or months. For any price, you can also checkout with AfterPay. Lastly, you can subscribe to the art commission tier in the Patreon – in which case, your art commission will be started when the first payment processes.
Where can I order an oil painting? For now, please contact me. I have not standardized my prices for oil yet partly because of studio space & because oil paintings dry very slow / are harder to ship.
Do you accept fantasy art / sci-fi illustrations or music album art? Yes and I love doing them! Since these are so specific and extremely custom and/or include licensing, they must be price individually. Please contact me.
Do you accept collabs? Technically no, but if you’re really keen on working with me than you must submit a project treatment with a portfolio and how you see the project work being divided. It’s flattering and I appreciate it, however I only take very serious requests for collabs.
