Working method: Digital artist  

I’m an illustrator and comic artist specialising in the field of digital art. My interests and influences come from digital painting, concept art, fantasy, fashion as well as manga. I believe in creating beautiful artwork for the betterment of mankind, and am always looking forward to learning new things.


Experience
My first graphic novel Murphy’s Law was published in 2008 by Sweatdrop Studios. I have experience conducting workshops, writing tutorials as well as producing artwork to specific briefs. I’ve done work as a colourist for Comic Book Tattoo Tales Inspired by Tori Amos and Applied Materials, Inc. “Bright Futures Card Game”. I’m currently working on a graphic novel adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice for SelfMadeHero.

Commission Details
For bespoke illustrations, I charge an hourly rate of £30 which includes full license to reproduction and derivatives, £70 per hour if client wishes to purchase copyright. In both cases I would retain the right to use the artwork for portfolio purposes. 

For large-scale projects, I offer discounts according to royalties and future earnings. All work and payment would have to be laid out contractually. 

This website offers a good idea of the range of work and styles I can do. Other than digital work, I also offer individual commissions for artwork created with pencils, black & white inks and colour/ water colour pencils on a case-by-case basis. 

I treat all commissions with utmost professionalism, and aim to adapt the art to best suit the project. For further enquiries and commissions, feel free to contact me at faye_yong@yahoo.com.
