wandering in a world between beauty and darkness - I'm Jule, an artist based in Germany. My style is classical-inspired, with a sensual and melancholic atmosphere, blending elegance with vulnerability, with a growing appreciation of the human body's beauty.I'm currently focusing on deepening my art style, while working on personal projects and client work.

What I will draw
original characters, fanart
examples of things I like a lot: gothic / dark fantasy / witchy / bloodborne-/darksouls-esque, dragon age, baldurs gate 3, etc characters
simple architecture like ruins, houses, medieval
-
tasteful nudity
I love to draw the body so I really don't mind if the character is more lightly dressed; includes all genders and body types; can be sfw & nsfw, but I won't draw any genitals
-
interesting design - I'm not a fan of regular, all-day clothing, so either fantasy or historic is fine, nothing too modern; give me a character in a piece of fabric and 10 tons of jewelry and I will be happy
-
everything you see me postingWhat I won't draw
- explicit sexual content
- too much gore
- robots, sci-fi

Payment & process

If you don't find the answer you were looking for feel free to write me a DM on my linked social media or an e-mail at
[email protected]

Preferred way of communication for first contact is via e-mail, after that we can keep it through e-mail or switch to discord.

ProcessAfter you have sent me an e-mail with all the information I will get back to you with the final quote and a rough timeframe of when you can expect your sketch and roughly estimated final. Keep in mind that this can change throughout the process for various reasons, but I will stay and contact and let you know.I will then make several sketches (except for commission types through ko-fi) from which you can choose. Please let me know if you want any major changes in this stage, because I won't be able to make big changes after starting to work.After we settled for a sketch, I will send you an invoice. As soon as the payment arrived, I will start to work on the commission.Throughout the process I will send you several progress shots to keep you up to date with it while giving you the chance to request small changes. I only accept major changes in the sketch phase, so please make sure to communicate everything that you're not happy with there, because I will only accept minor changes afterwards.

PaymentAll payments are sent via PayPal.I prefer it to be paid at once, but if you'd like to pay in two parts, I will have to add an additional fee due to PayPal taking transactions fees for each payment! Please let me know how you'd like to pay before I send you the invoice.
