Lyra came back better than I could have pictured. Every revision sharpened the piece. This isn't a transaction — it's a collaboration.

Eight NPCs for Curse of Strahd, all in matching style, delivered on a schedule I could plan sessions around. Worth every dollar.

A wedding party portrait for my brother and his fiancée. They cried. I cried. The piece hangs above their mantel now.

I'd commissioned three artists for my drow ranger over five years. This is the one that finally got him. The patience and care show in every brushstroke.

VTT tokens for my whole party. Roll20-ready, perfect at every zoom. Players actually got excited when they saw them on the map.

My indie game's cover. We went through three artists before finding the right fit. Theo got it on the second sketch. The book sold out the print run.

Communication was thoughtful. The painting was better than my reference board. And it arrived a day early.

Anniversary gift for my partner's wedding-themed campaign. Five player characters in one frame, all consistent. Made his year.

First commission I've ever gotten where the artist actually asked good questions. Felt like a real conversation, not a transaction.

Twenty NPCs for our homebrew world. The style sheet they delivered up front saved us hours of guesswork. Each portrait feels like the same hand.

Surprise birthday gift for my partner. The brief was a single voice memo. They asked smart questions, then nailed it on the first pass.

Half-orc barbarian, scarred and tired. Other artists make my character look like a stock hero. This one looks like a person.
