Nope, I work full-time in the corporate world. I paint during my free time, mostly on evenings and weekends, although I do try to keep at least one day a week free to rest.

Not really, I do practice sketching sometimes with pencil and paper but that’s about it (and yes, I keep double tapping the paper whenever I want to erase something).

I could have, but I didn't trust my art enough to even give it a try. So, I ended up going to business school instead :/

A couple of years ago, though, I had this realization that I needed to give myself and my dreams a real shot. Since that moment, I've been learning art through online resources, like Domestika courses and YouTube videos, practicing as often as I possibly can.

Still, I'd like to go to art school someday. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed figuring things out on my own, but I also yearn for the structure that art school offers. More specifically, I'm eager to learn about 3D art in this way.

My commercial commissions are currently closed, but they'll be opening again soon. If you want to stay updated, you can check my Instagram. I always post commission updates there!

As for personal ones, I've had to put them on hold indefinitely due to time constraints.

If you have any questions about commissions, feel free to send me an email, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

A personal commission is one that you'll enjoy without making any money out of it. For example:

• You'd like a print of your FMC next to you as you write her epic tale.

• You want to have your favorite bat boy displayed in your bookshelf to kiss him good morning every day.

• You're dying to bring your craziest headcanon to life and share it with your Instagram followers.

A commercial commission, on the other hand, is one you'll be making money from and/or one that you're including alongside a product that you're making money from. For example:

• You'd like to sell a standee of your handsome MMC in Etsy.

• You'd like to use the piece as the cover illustration for your epic book.

• You'd like to make prints of the commissioned art for an upcoming Fantasy convention.

Do keep in mind that, in the case of commercial commissions, if you don't hold the copyright (e.g., it's fanart from a character created by Sarah J. Maas), you must reach out to the person in charge of licensing to legally sell the products.

My love for painting is deeply intertwined with my love for books. After all, what inspired me to become a digital artist was the incredible fanart of book characters and scenes I found online. That is not to say that I don’t find other art subjects fascinating, because trust me I do. But in the end, what truly makes me happy is bringing words on a page (or screen) to life as visual experiences. Whether it's fanart or commissioned art for an author's book, I wholeheartedly enjoy it. So, for now, the answer is yes!

I’m cool with that! However, I do ask that you give me credit and tag me @heyvossie. I also ask you not to modify/crop the art, which of course means that my signature should never be removed from a piece.

Yes! I sell officially licensed fanarts through Fox & Mage’s Etsy.

I always use my 2021 iPad Pro alongside Procreate to paint. Whenever I’m painting, I also use a glove so my hand slides smoothly on the screen and a Sketchboard Pro for ergonomics.

No. I wholeheartedly believe that using AI generated images and calling it art is a disservice to all the hardworking and amazing artists out there. It is theft: AI generated images are currently scraping art without consent, and I refuse to be a part of that.
