Frequently Asked Questions

 

How did you develop your style? It's so detailed and colourful!

By accident/playing around. You can see my digital journey documented on DeviantArt. Starting with this artwork published on Mar 27, 2013:  https://sylviaritter.deviantart.com/art/study-no-80-361827667. Click on "all" upper left and you get a good overview.

Mostly Krita, the best painting tool in the galaxy. I also like to work with Blender, Inkscape and Gimp (for final color corrections).

Every commission/project is different. If you are interested in working with me please send me an email with more information (e.g. publisher's/musicians's name/alias, desired usage rights, project details).

 

Can I get a tattoo with one of your designs?

First of all, I am very honored, but please contact me before you get a tattoo with my art. For a fair fee, this is possible. You might ask why.

The tattoo artist gets paid for tattooing my artwork, so she/he can do her/his job and I would love to continue making art, too.

I also do tattoo commissions if you are looking for something special.
