01 · WHAT I MAKE
Four ways to hire me.
Fixed quotes, weekly check-ins, and source files you own. Most projects mix two or three of these.
COVERS · KEY ART · EDITORIAL
Illustration
Key art, book and album covers and editorial pieces that work at 1:1 on a phone and scaled up on a billboard.
From $1,200 per piece
TILESETS · ISOMETRIC SCENES
Game environments
Tilesets that don’t look like tiles, isometric towns and interiors, and lighting for every hour.
From $45 per tile · day rate $520
SPRITES · TURNAROUNDS · PORTRAITS
Characters & animation
Characters that read from their silhouette, with turnarounds, walks, idles and dialogue portraits.
From $180 per character
VERTICAL SLICES · GAME JAMS
Indie dev & prototypes
Playable prototypes and vertical slices in Godot, built with the art from day one, not bolted on at the end.
From $3,800 per slice

Courier Club

Read from the silhouette.
Seven couriers from Courier Club, each built to be recognised at 24 pixels tall. Pick one, change the frame rate, swap the palette.
Drag to see the work underneath.
Clients see all three stages. Most of the decisions are made in the grey one.
One scene, five palettes.
Seasons, moods and whole game updates are palette swaps: the same drawing re-mapped colour by colour. Click a swatch to copy its hex.
08 · HOW IT WORKS
Four steps, no surprises.
Every project follows the same path, whether it’s one cover or a whole game. You always know what’s next and what it costs.

Brief & references
2 days
A 30-minute call, a shared board of references and a one-page brief we both sign off. You get a fixed quote before anything else happens.
Blockout
3–5 days
Grey shapes, no colour. This is where silhouettes, scale and camera get decided, and where changes cost almost nothing.
Colour & light
1–4 weeks
Flat colour, then lighting keys, then polish. Weekly check-ins with work-in-progress you can drop straight into the engine.
Ship
2 days
Engine-ready exports, layered source files and a short handover doc. Small fixes are free for 30 days after launch.
