Products of passion, intention and time, destined to tell stories.Although each artwork I make is highly personalised and unique, has a separate workflow and technique of execution, my basic process revolves around the following order:
concept drawing (aka words turned flesh!) --> sketch --> lineart/grayscale painting --> colors --> details and polishing.
These steps and a routine created around them allow me to maintain a distinguishing, consistent style, at the same time giving me space for freedom of expression and never ending experimentation, as in my artistic journey, I shall be like a scientist kept on the verge of discovery, I believe, pursuing it madly, yet never actually reaching it.

The world of stories enchanted in just few lines…When designing symbols, tattoos or logos during my private and professional work, I aim to truly grasp the depth of the concept and pay attention to every detail. The meaning, colors, shapes and even the unexplainable feeling given by the abstract image must all be in agreement in order to provide clear intention and evoke deeper contemplation. After all it’s more than just an icon, it’s a message.

It always starts with a need to capture more than just life, it begs to capture living.My comics has always been presented in shorter forms, as I indulge in the beauty of moments, their small ways to convey big feelings and their challenges to build connections between characters and readers based on impact, not time.
Below is my most recent comic for a private project. With the reader being put into the middle of a conversation without context, my upmost priority was to maintain one, clear topic through the whole story, together with calm, slow tempo, yet at the same time keep the mysterious, uneasy tone alive.

How seeing changes hearing, yet hearing changes seeing…!With this media I connect storytelling and drawing with music’s own imagery. I reach to each sound to mirror it on the canvas accordingly, though not always obviously…All of the videos below are my private projects in which I have explored animatics, frame and puppet tool animation. My process begins with storyboards (mainly in traditional sketching) and rough animatics to lineart, color and finally editing.
While drawings were made and prepared for further work in either Procreate or Photoshop, using the softwares' timeline panels, the assembling and polishing took place in Adobe After Effects.

In 2023 I collaborated with ForceFit, the organizing company for the first edition of European Stick Fighting Championships, to develop a comprehensive visual identity across multiple media.
The design's objective was to capture the origins and dynamic nature of the sport, as well as to recognize the hosting country and city.
Final designs were produced in two languages, Polish and English, and using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop they were tailored accordingly in dimensions, resolution and color mode to suit the destined platform and be printed both on large and small formats.

I. GENERAL TERMS
• I will not draw: furries, mecha, NSFW, inappropriate ideas
• Please provide me visual references or detailed descriptions of the character before I start drawing. You can also tell me a little bit about your character’s personality so I can capture them better!
• You can change the character, the idea, the outfit, upgrade the type of commission or add another character if I haven’t started working on your order yet.
• Any mean, disrespectful, toxic behavior will not be tolerated and your commission will be canceled if it occurs (refund depends on the stage of the artwork) So please be nice and understanding 🥺
• While I’m working on your order I will be needing your swift feedback and green-light before moving to the next stages. So if anything happens - if you’re having a hard time, private issues, need space, won’t be able to quickly respond to my messages, instead of leaving me on read or without any replies for days - PLEASE BE HONEST! Otherwise I may be stuck in the process, without your response I cannot continue the commission. I need to know if I should switch to a different order and give you some time. I really don’t bite lmao, you can count on me! 😭
• I will do everything I can to make you satisfied with the service ❤️ So don't be afraid to make your own suggestions, give ideas, ask for changes etc.! Your smile is my upmost priority!
• If you have requests for a specific canvas size let me know before I start working on your commission! If not I mostly work on 3000x3000 px (or something around), 350 DPIII. PAYMENT
• I take payment through PayPal or Ko-fi
• You can ask me first how much would your drawing cost! Don’t be afraid, it’s absolutely ok to decide you cannot afford it or just change your mind afterwards! Also don’t be afraid to tell me that directly! I would appreciate that ❤️
• Full price must be paid upfront before I start working OR you can pay me half of the price upfront and the rest after seeing the first sketch.
• If you do not have a specific reference for clothes, weapons, tattoos etc. and I will need to design them myself, please be aware that I will additionally charge you for that. I am unfortunately not a fashion/weapon designer and It gives me much more work and brain damage lmao
• Any additions to the character like flowers, plants, animals, weapons, objects, wings, complicated ornaments/jewellery or just a complex outfit/design are done at an extra cost. Price depends on the complexity of the addition.
• Any great changes in the finished artwork will come with an extra charge, such as an outfit change, outfit addition or subtraction, background change or anything that makes me have to redraw it or basically gives me way more work. So make sure to be clear in your order and specify every significant detail! Only small changes such as colouring/marking mistakes are made for free.III. PROCESS
• For approval I will send you: the first, rough sketch of a pose and then more detailed sketch/lineart.
Further Work In Progress will be given if you personally ask for it or I, the artist, wonder something about the commission (like colors etc.)
• The time for your commission to be completed can be usually up to 3 months (counting from the day I start working on it) or longer depending on many factors such as;
health, family issues, order of commission, complexity, work.
If any of the things stated above occur and waiting time would significantly lengthen you will be notified. I will try my best to finish your artwork asap tho!
• If there is a deadline for an order such information must be specified and agreed upon before payment is accepted. Be aware that there is an additional fee for rushed orders.
• The order in which I process commissions is displayed on my Trello board, along with the queue. Most of the time I start with whomever has successfully processed their payment first and has been waiting the longest.IV. COPYRIGHT / USAGE POLICY
