FAQ
What is your illustration style?
My primary style is monochrome (black and white) Dark Art using highly detailed hatching and sketching techniques. This creates a classic, intense, and textured look that is perfect for tattoo designs, metal artwork, and gothic themes.
Can you add color to the illustration?
My expertise is in black and white. While I can sometimes add minimal spot color (e.g., red or gold highlights), the core illustration will remain in the monochromatic sketch style.
What resolution and file formats do I receive?
You will receive the final artwork as high-resolution images (300 DPI) in both PNG (with transparent background, ideal for printing/t-shirts) and JPG formats. For any other format or specific detail, please contact me.
Can I use the design for a tattoo?
Absolutely. My style is ideal for tattooing. The high-resolution PNG file with a transparent background is perfectly suited for a tattoo artist to use as a stencil and reference.
What kind of references or ideas should I provide?
Please provide a clear description of the subject's mood, any specific elements (like a Roman helmet, flowers, chains, etc.), and the overall feeling you are going for. Reference photos of specific skulls or objects are always helpful!
Can you draw more than just skulls?
Yes. You can check my other gigs or portofolio.
Can I request a large-scale piece, like a full tattoo sleeve design?
Yes. For large, complex projects like a full sleeve element or a detailed background scene, please message me first. We can create a custom offer tailored to the size and detail required.
How long will the illustration take?
The delivery time is specified in each package. My Standard and Premium packages take longer due to the extensive manual detail required for the hatching and shading work.
Can I see a sketch before you finalize the design?
Yes, definitely. I always provide a preliminary rough sketch for your approval. This ensures we are aligned on the composition and main concept before I invest time in the detailed shading and hatching. Also, before the final details for additional changes or revisions.
Can I use the artwork for a logo?
You can use the illustration as a main element for your brand or logo, provided you purchase the package that includes Commercial Use Rights. However, if you need a true, simple, and vector-based logo, please clarify the requirements before ordering.
