ABOUT MY WORK

1. Tools for digital art

Software: Most of my digital work is done in Photoshop. I’ve been using it since version 4, and while it has its flaws it is my go to tool for everything digital art related.

2. Tools for traditional art

I paint with acrylics, For my alters I use Golden Fluids Acrylic paints and for my canvases I use a mix of Amsterdam and Ara Artists’ Acrylics. I also often use a glazing and/or slow drying medium.
For drawing and sketching I use mechanical pencils for the precise work and soft pencils (B2 or up) when I want to add shade/depth.

Permissions / copyright

1. Personal use

If you want to use my art as your avatar, profile or on your blog/website that’s OK as long as you properly credit me as the artist and link to my website or one of my socials.

Please don’t use my work for tattoo designs without permission. If you aren’t sure, please contact me before using my work.

2. Commercial use

For commercial or licensing please contact me with the appropriate information. I am not interested in creating NFTs nor can any of my work be minted as NFT.

Shop

1. Shipping

I currently only ship out original work, which I will package and ship with care. Please allow 2-5 business days for me to send the package. If applicable I will contact you with tracking information.

2. Returns/Refunds

For products sold through third party shops (Altersleeves, Imprnt, UCB) the returns/refund rules of those shops apply. 

For original work sold troughs my own shop,  i’m following EU regulations. Within 14 days you can decide return your purchase. Costs of shipping are for the buyer. The work needs to be returned in original packaging (or similar) and I will refund after I’ve received the work in good condition.

3. Original alters

My original alters are carefully packaged and shipped in a toploader so they arrive in perfect condition.
I put great care in making alters that are clean and thin so the weight and feel of the card doesn’t change significantly, but always check a judge about tournament legality of altered cards.

4. Altersleeves

My custom sleeves are printed and shipped by Altersleeves. They are printed on Dragon sleeve skin tights, so reliable quality. Since there’s variation in WOTC’s printing I can’t guarantee a perfect color match on the sleeves but Altersleeves customer support is very solid, so it’s worth a shot!  I use quite a few of these sleeves myself and I’ve never felt disappointed in their quality.

2 Social media

Instagram | Facebook | Moxfield 

I also have a Discord server which originated from my Spindrift fanbase, but these days it is a friendly and inclusive space for anyone who is into fantasy/art/comics or games.

3 Education

I’ve finished a graphic design school (Cibap), a bachelor in design (Utrecht School of Arts, Design) and I have a masters in art (Utrecht School of Arts, animation). Am I happy that I went through traditional art education? Yes. Would I recommend aspiring artists to go into debt to get an education in art? No. There are many fantastic and reputable courses and coaching programs made for artists out there nowadays that I would recommend over the traditional route.
