Hi! I'm Untamed Draws, a painterly fantasy and horror illustrator and concept artist (working professionally since 2015, with studio experience using Unity and version control). Everything I make is 100% hand-painted, with no AI at any stage.

What I do

• Main-menu / key art and Steam capsule sets (layered PSDs, ready to animate)
• Character portraits, character concepts and turnarounds
• Creatures, environments and mood pieces
• Card art (TCG / tabletop) and book or module covers

Rates (USD, starting points)

• Character portrait / card art: from $80
• Full character with background: from $200
• Layered key art / main menu: $450–650
• Steam capsule set: from $400
• Book or module cover: from $300

Packages for multi-piece projects, sized to your budget. 50% upfront, 50% on delivery (PayPal / Payoneer / Wise invoice).

Process: 2–3 thumbnails within 48 hours, then a colour comp, then the layered final, with 2 revision rounds.

These are of course just a few. There are many more. But these are perhaps the most comprehensive and put together.

Hi! This brief is right in my wheelhouse. Painterly, grimy, candlelit dark fantasy is what I paint. See my published cover Who Endures: The Pain Children, a stormy night scene lit only by candle and window glow, and The Bloodmonger cover in my portfolio.

For your main menu I'd paint at 3840x2160 or larger with fully separated layers (background / figure / table / candles and flames, plus a separate flame-glow and smoke pass) so it's ready to animate, in your bone, rust and dark-red palette. 100% hand-painted, no AI at any stage.

Process: 2-3 thumbnail compositions within 48 hours, then a colour comp, then the layered final PSD. Rate for the layered key art: $450-650 depending on figure count and detail, 50% upfront. Happy to quote the Steam capsule set and the character portraits as a package too.

Hi Brendan! I paint dark and horror illustration (published horror cover: Who Endures: The Pain Children), so a set of horror card art is right up my street.

I can paint your ~10 card sprites in one consistent, unsettling painted style at around $40 per card, and I can quote the short loop animations per card once I know which ones need them. You'd get the first card's sketch within 48 hours so you can lock in the look before I do the rest. 100% hand-painted, no AI.
