How do I work?

TLDR: I provide an agreed sketch → Full payment → Updates and opportunities for changes → Finish drawingI'm very active with the feedback process and will send you updates and sketches via DM so you're never in the dark about what I'm up to. I'll answer any questions you have and review adjustments you want to make to the best of my ability (Unreasonable or big adjustments incurs in extra fees. Small adjustments are free). I will respond to your messages promptly and let you know if the process is delayed.I really do value customer service and experience, and if that's something that's important to you, you've come to the right place!

Do's and Don't's

Note: With the exception of the don't's, I am open to, within reason, drawing new things I have never tried before and/or have little experience in. However, expect delays and additional costs. Results are not guaranteed.

About me

I'm Howard (20+, he/him), just some guy from Middle Earth New Zealand procrastinating. I am a self-taught drawing hobbyist and am passionate about creating illustrations. My areas of interest include drawing characters and tarot cards.Aside from illustrating, I like Asian food/desserts, travelling and videogaming. I'm into third-person, story-rich RPGs such as FFXIV (find me on ravana!), Dragon Age, Baldur's gate 3 and Witcher 3.At the moment I am pursuing a Master's degree in healthcare and I hope to one day get a job that pays enough to get by but also allows time for me to continue drawing.

Reviews from clients

Here I collected some reviews from my previous Twitter clients regarding their experience working with me, for your reference.
༺_༻

"Working with Crow is an absolutely amazing experience. First of all, the quality of his art speaks for itself; it is consistently breath-takingly beautiful, with such an eye for flow and composition, a thousand small details adding up to a resonant work of art. Every piece is gorgeous, and worthy of extended viewing. And he is fantastic to work with as an artist. He’s extremely easy to communicate with, easily understanding any corrections I had and making absolutely perfect suggestions to elevate the piece I was hoping to see to something truly amazing. I was so, SO excited to commission from Crow, and can’t recommend him highly enough." - @gynedroid"Working with Crow was an absolute pleasure. Every piece of the process was handled with professionalism and he was not only extremely communicative but accommodating to every request and question. Each step was met with consistent check ins and I felt very secure with asking for changes. Additionally, he made sure to be clear on what I wanted before he moved forward and the final delivered product was completed so quickly it blew my mind. Truly a 10/10 experience for an exceptional artist and an overall enjoyable person. Wholeheartedly recommend!" ***- @cannibalanders ***"Crow's art speaks for itself - his work is beautiful, painterly and atmospheric. I went to him with a request that involved challenging lighting and Crow blew me away with how well he captured every detail of my commission request. He was also super communicative throughout the whole process, receptive to all my feedback, and worked extremely quickly. I'm very happy with my commission and would 100% recommend him!" -@amaranthined"Crow is an absolute treasure! The quality of his art is phenomenal, you can clearly see the time, thought, dedication and skill in his work. The atmospheres, blending of colours and details are mind-blowing. It’s as if there is nothing, he isn’t capable of. Not only that but communicating with Crow is so easy and flows effortlessly, he is very professional and made sure I was satisfied with the end result. He has gained a loyal client from me! Absolute honor to have been able to work with him." -@CabooseWaffles"Crow has been very attentive to all of the details needed for my commissions and reverted back to us consistently with updates to get our feedback. I accidentally missed out certain details the first time I sent him the requirements, but he was extremely accommodating to my changes and assured me that he takes his clients' requests seriously - and he does! I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and cannot recommend him enough. I would love to come back to him again in the future for more pieces. If you need someone who does amazing, beautiful pieces with a great personality, please do commission him!" -@GoudaMorganing"It has been a great pleasure working with Crow. The communication was very frequent and Crow helped me capture the true essence/feeling of the commission I wanted. Crow was very patient with me. The rough sketch and steps to achieve my commission was very helpful. Working with Crow was truly an amazing experience. Will I come back for his service, DEFINITELY YES." - @LumiLierin"Commissioning Crow was an extremely pleasant experience--Very meticulous with the finer bits of my request and super polite, professional and cordial while he was at it. This thorough nature shone through in his work as well, with each specified detail captured beautifully in the final work. I was contacted regularly throughout the process as well, knowing exactly the direction the piece was going. Given the chance, I would definitely commission him again, and highly recommend others looking for commissions to do so as well!" - @rishorishu"Crow is hella nice and flexible when it comes to getting what you want down on paper! They were patient with some my late responsive! Cant wait to be able to commission them again!" - @Rrvenat"I absolutely loved working with you, there wasn’t a single point in the process where I felt I couldn’t speak my mind or I felt like things weren’t going the way I was hoping. Conversation was easy. You were so kind, professional, and on time, and you met my requests to the best of your ability while also exceeding my expectations! The artwork itself came out lovely and wonderful, it was an honor to get to work with you!" - @BlueCoco"Really efficient and professional artist to work with <3 it was such an easy breezy process and a delight to work with an artist willing to do changes and little bits here and there! Thank you so much again!" - @HimboRetainer"Throughout the entire commissioning process, Crow was very communicative and receptive. He provides frequent updates with the commission to ensure that it's heading in the direction you want, and even things like delays due to feeling unwell. He's extremely professional each step of the way, while still maintaining a friendly attitude! He works fast and his painting skills are amazing! It was a pleasure working with Crow, I would highly recommend commissioning him, 10/10!" - @SharkTuna

What to provide for your commission

If in doubt about anything, don't be afraid to DM me and I will answer all your questions.For those new to art commissions, unfamiliar with the process or simply can't be bothered to come up with a list, here are the things you should provide me with before or after contacting me on Twitter as I need them to estimate a quote. If you refuse to organize the references in a cogent manner, I WILL charge an extra $20 service fee.You can compile these into a single email, Google Doc, Imgur, Pinterest board etc. as it'll be more accessible to me than giving me loose pictures or multiple links. (I personally prefer Google Doc or Imgur).Notes, descriptions and annotations along with reference pictures are also required:
The following list is for reference only, only use subjects that are applicable to your piece. If I require more information I will let you know.

Aside to finding references, provide a simple composition. A sketch with detailed annotation is great even if you cannot draw. Here is an absolutely scuffed example I made in microsoft paint but that's really all I need to work with.

If you wish for me to dictate composition or others I'll happily do so for an additional fee. I will provide many work in progress sketches to make sure what I am drawing is exactly what you want.

Tarot card notes.

If you are ordering a tarot card and wish for me to come up with a composition, these are some prompts you can provide me (beside the general list mentioned above). They are NOT all required, nor is the list exhaustive.I will provide multiple concepts (at least 3) for you to choose from for a tarot card. I will only come up with a quote after a selection is made, as the complexity of designs will vary. If you need more assistance, we can discuss over composition more over DM.
