He destroyed careers, he destroyed peoples’ livelihoods. I hope he sleeps well with his golden parachute knowing he’s had a major hand in turning the US animation industry into the desert it is today.

If you're proud of going after a queer indie production and being part of a bully-mob online to get it taken down, don't be surprised when the same group turns to you to go after another queer indie production. And another. And another. Cuz hate mobs are never satisfied with one victim.

ALSO for the small amount of you who have been following my pilot series announcement, things are going AMAZING still. We just moved into the storyboard process this past weekend! I recently picked up a full-time job as a 3D designer and animator, so my time has been MEGA crunched lately!

👇 In reference to that SDCC Avatar Aang slide everyone is talking about. It was a page from an artbook, and the reference to Chat GPT was likely injected by the person who put the book together. Actual artists like Kat who worked on the film have no idea why it says that.

it's hard seeing young artists (23 years or younger) still supported by their families getting hired at fairly large studios when a majority of current industry folks are 26-30 years+ old without work for months to years trying to live adult lives and make ends meet.

what we're seeing isn't just the rise of youtubers, the dominance of horror, or some indie groundswell, it's because hollywood's 20 year reliance on franchises no one under 40 gives a shit about has finally come home to roost

Please no more creative figures expressing surprise at backlash for supporting Gen AI. We’ve already seen over and over that your peers are not okay with it. And despite some mad hope that you’ll be the creator whose work is so ‘beloved’ that the AI will be overlooked, it won’t be.

Big artists like Jorge playing with AI normalizes it in a way that dumb techbros can’t. You hurt your entire industry by doing this because it emboldens companies to 1. Use AI more, and 2. In that pursuit, incentivizing them to layoff many artists. Some truly turncoat behavior.

Even if we pretend for a moment that Generative AI isn’t destroying our environment, poisoning the water supply of rural Americans, or is built entirely off of stolen labor- Jorge HAS to understand, as an industry veteran, that AI is actively replacing working artists. Gen AI is shortening deadlines

Gonna be real folks, there's so many ads out there on all streaming platforms, socials, etc peddling AI. This is not due to popular demand or interest, these companies are desperate. The bubble is popping, and they're just pulling at any strings they can find. We're close to winning this.

Throughout the story, we'll come across many characters (good, bad, and beyond) who are renown for their exceptional skills, their profound legacy, or even their dastardly deeds. This mighty attribute can be defined as Legendary. Bee Bee is quite the legendary thief after all! #oc #indie

DOM @domanastasi.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

I took this opportunity to add in a (very) important detail to Bee Bee's character sheet. Having the Legendary status is super important in Tales of the Merchants Grey. It means whether you're good, bad, or somewhere inbetween, folks know who you are!

Are my commission prices too high? I've always struggled to price my art and the lack of inquiries shows, I guess pan-tastique.com/commissions

Illustrations – Cartoony
My “default” art style, which comes in two “flavours”.

-Fully coloured illustrations with bold, black linework, and optional cel shading. Detailed backgrounds are available at an extra charge. Base price includes 1 revision.

Alternatively:

-Coloured or uncoloured sketches with loose, flowing lines – cel shading is also optional. Detailed backgrounds are not available for this option. Base price includes 1 revision.

Scroll through the carousel to view examples.

Fully coloured – price per character:

Bust: €30 – Half: €40 – Full: €60 – Background: €30

Sketch – price per character:

Bust: €20 – Half: €25 – Full: €35

Example images of my character James kneeling in the rain, looking at his reflection in a puddle as the rain falls around him and distorts the reflection. He has a look of defeat in his eyes and his face is bloodied and bruised.

Painterly example of Ahsoka Tano as seen in Rebels, posed from behind with her lightsabers in reverse grip behind her back - I gifted this piece to Ashley Eckstein at SWC London 2023.

Storyboards
I charge storyboards per hour or per minute of screentime.

The amount of drawings needed per minute for storyboards differ greatly based on the script’s needs, so take this as a general estimate. I consider 1 minute of screentime one page of script. Visit the storyboards section of my portfolio for more examples. Access to the NDA page can be provided upon request. Hourly includes unlimited revisions.

Hourly: €35 per hour

Action-heavy: €200 per minute

Dialogue-heavy: €150 per minute

Animation
I charge animation per hour or per second of screentime.

The example shows an example of my rough animation skills, but I am available for cleanup and colouring as well. Pricing is regardless of department.

The example was produced in TVPaint Professional 11. Projects done in Harmony or other software must come with licenses provided, otherwise the license cost will be billed for the duration of the project. Hourly includes unlimited revisions.

Hourly: €35 per hour

Action-heavy: €25 per second

Dialogue-heavy: €20 per second

Visual development / concept art

Character design
Character design is a part of visual development I greatly enjoy! Prices vary greatly on the project’s need, so take the below as a guideline.

Visit the character design section of my portfolio for more examples. Access to the NDA page can be provided upon request.

Turnarounds: Starting from €75 (front/back/sides)

Pose sheets: Starting from €90 (4 poses)

Other: Please inquire.

Video examples of my indie animated series, particularly the music video "Swift Spark's the Name" in storyboarded and rough animated form. Not the bext example because my personal examples notoriously tend to lack backgrounds.

Visdev example is my character James's turnaround in his Swift Spark suit, featuring a full 360 turn including diagonals.
