Stories from the Other Side

Blown away with how incredible Jan's art is & how she managed to bring to life a character from my friend's book based only on the written descriptions. Will definitely be coming back & Jan is just so lovely to communicate with! So incredibly happy!

Love and appreciation are not enough for how I feel about this artwork turned out. I am an indie writer and to see my beloved main character come to life in such a way means the world to me. She was perfectly brought to life. Do I recommend? A thousand times over, yes!

Danielle N.

Artist gets the vision like no one else and makes what you want happen! So beautiful, such incredible, thoughtful work. Care to detail is immense, responsive to messages and quick to make edits you request. Amazing service, amazing art, and I will be so happy to get more art in the future! :)

Kate S.

AMAZING!!! I cannot express how wonderful they were to work with! Very fast and easy to communicate with. Made art for my sisters book she just released and brought her vision to life. I can’t wait to work with them again!!!!!!! Beautiful work 20/10

Jenny F.

This is my second time working with this artist, and once again she delivered beyond anything I imagined. She has an incredible eye for detail and a real talent for capturing characters exactly as I imagine them. I highly recommend this artist and will be working with them in the future.

Miranda D.

This was my first time commissioning art so I was a little nervous at first about what to expect. But Jan made the process super easy, and the character blueprint sheet was a big help! Jan was incredible to work with, and the detail really shows. I cannot recommend him enough.

Connor C.

I am stunned with how these came out! I loved them so much I got three variations of my FMC and she's exactly what I pictured when I wrote her! Jan is patient and knew exactly how to translate my ramblings. The process was seamless and quick!! Already got another one in the works.

Emily K.

Absolutely incredible communication, very sweet, and the work really speaks for itself! Was done very quickly and WELL worth the cost! I will absolutely be a repeat customer whenever i have the funds!

Daytona F.

He did it again! Definitely delivered my MMC from my upcoming debut novel! He showcased my characters more friendly side and battle ready side in two variations! Everytime there is art commissioned, I always leave wanting to commission more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?

It's easier than rolling initiative:

1. Click "Secure My Slot" and check out, you'll instantly receive my Ultimate Character Blueprint after you checkout.

2. Fill it out Your way - Add as much or as little detail as you want. Some clients write novels, others just a few lines. Both work perfectly! Include reference images or let me create entirely from your description - many players love seeing their character through fresh eyes.

3. I review everything carefully - If anything's unclear, I'll reach out with quick questions to make sure I nail your vision. (I accept all commissions except NSFW or heavy gore - and in the rare case I can't take yours, you get a same-day 100% refund)

4. See your character in 2 weeks - Most clients are thrilled with the first concept and just request minor tweaks. But you get unlimited revisions until it's perfect - that's my promise.

5. Living Motion - If you ordered this upgrade, you'll receive your breathing portrait 3-5 days after the final art. Watch your character actually come alive!

The best part? There's zero risk. Love it or your money back. But honestly? In 500+ commissions, players usually say their only regret is not doing this sooner.

Your character has waited long enough. Let's bring them to life today.

I want a scene with two characters. How do I order that?

Just purchase two separate portrait commissions of the same size (e.g., two Thigh-Ups).

Ordering them together is actually a benefit for you: it streamlines the process, so we can usually finish the pair in 3 weeks (instead of the usual 4).

Once your order is in, I'll email you to figure out the "custom" stuff: like how they are interacting, if this is for a cover, or if you need a specific background. We’ll make sure the layout fits your vision perfectly.

How do I describe my character?

I'll guide you through the commission process step-by-step. Many of my clients are first-time commissioners, so you're in good company.

If you'd like to be extra prepared, you're welcome to grab the free Character Blueprint and fill that out with as much or as little detail as you feel comfortable with.

Otherwise, you can simply make a purchase, and I'll personally walk you through everything from there. My goal is to make this easy and enjoyable for you!

What is the Heroic Money‑Back Guarantee?

After I deliver your polished concept (in around 2 weeks), you will have 3 days to decide if the art feels right. If not, just email me, I'll refund you in full.

Once I start revisions, the guarantee ends. Simple, risk‑free, and there so you can commission with confidence. (See the full Refund Policy for the fine print.)

I truly believe every story teller deserves to see their characters come to life. This guarantee is just my way of making sure you feel safe jumping in.

What if I don't have visual references?

That's perfectly fine! While visuals like Pinterest screenshots or sketches help, a detailed written description is enough for me to get started.

What if my commission isn’t something you can do?

If your brief turns out to be something I don’t take on (NSFW, heavy gore, or full‑mech designs), I’ll tell you right away and issue a 100 % refund the same day.

So there’s zero risk—you either receive the portrait you envision, or every penny back.
