I’m a digital illustrator with a Master’s degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, specializing in painterly fantasy illustration and character design.
Your project immediately caught my attention, as I work comfortably within dark fantasy aesthetics, focusing on mood, lighting, and strong character presence. I have experience creating both human and non-human characters, including creatures with exaggerated anatomy and unique visual traits.
You can see examples of my work here:
https://www.artstation.com/annaosieckaart

Turnaround time:

My workflow includes a sketch approval stage before rendering, which helps ensure alignment and reduces the need for major revisions later.

Anna Osiecka

561 2 days57 USDHi Daria, I am very interested in creating the character portraits for your fantasy game. I specialize in painterly digital illustrations and have a strong background in stylized realism, which is a perfect match for your dark fantasy aesthetic. I am comfortable working with exaggerated anatomy, tusks, and unique skin tones to bring your orcs and goblins to life.
I can easily deliver high-quality 1024×1024 transparent PNGs that follow your specific composition and color rules. While I have worked on web projects for brands like The Yetee and Artisaire, my portfolio includes a wide range of custom artwork and 3D modeling, ensuring I can capture the "heavy" and detailed feel you are looking for.
Price per portrait: Let’s discuss the volume, but I am flexible within your budget.
Turnaround: Usually 2 to 3 days per piece, depending on the complexity of the design.
I am online right now and ready to check out your full technical brief. I look forward to showing you what I can do for your battle screens!

Best regards,
Asif Iqbal A.

I work with characters and creature art, in the style of stylized realism + painterly, focusing on game presentation and readability in battle UI.
Dark fantasy, races, distinctive faces, skin textures, and materials are exactly my direction.
I can create portraits with an emphasis on the character's personality and a clean, understandable form tailored to your format.
There are relevant works in my profile, and I can show more examples specifically for similar tasks if needed.
I work in stages (sketch → approval → final render) to immediately get into the style and avoid unnecessary revisions.
Before starting, I would like to clarify a few points:
the approximate number of characters
the level of detail (closer to Blizzard / simpler)
… if there are clear guidelines on style and color
if this is one faction or different races
I will be able to specify the cost and timeline after discussing the technical specifications.
