A year on a waitlist and then finding out they've closed commissions, that timing stings. If you're starting over, VTuber model art is right in our lane: nextmars.com. Character illustration since 2017, so expressions and all the usual layers come as standard.

Celtic knotwork reads well at sprite size, good setting for a cast. Game art outsourcing studio here, 2D sprites and characters: nextmars.com. Fast, reliable and cost-effective, always up for long-term collaboration, or drop us a mail at info@nextmars.com if that's easier.

More art of the same sona is always the right call - it's wild how much a character shifts depending on who's drawing them. We're a digital art studio doing character illustration commissions: nextmars.com

Getting the cast drawn is usually what makes a pitch click, since plenty of ideas only show their weak spots once they're on paper. We do character design and concept art for games and comics. Samples are up at nextmars.com if you want to browse while it's still cooking.

Bold of you to make "appropriately awesome" the brief - icons are sneaky hard when the whole character still has to read at avatar size. We do character art and icons over at nextmars.com if you're still collecting options.

Costume swaps are trickier than they look — those red and black stripes have to drape like the original, not just match the colour. We've delivered 400+ illustration projects for games, films and books since 2017. Portfolio: nextmars.com

Two characters sharing one frame lives or dies on the posing — that's the fun part of a ship piece. We're a digital art studio taking character illustration commissions; portfolio's at nextmars.com if you want to see how we handle pairs.

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
A D'ni cavern with modern explorers in it is a great brief - that scale contrast is the whole picture. We're a freelance illustration studio doing cover art at print spec, so full colour or line art for in-house colouring both work: nextmars.com. Happy to send a proposal through the form.

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Thumbnails are brutal - the whole image has to land in about a second at tiny size. Key art and character illustration is what we paint at our game art outsourcing studio, nextmars.com, if you are still weighing options.

Clockwork King as Ice King is inspired casting. We do cartoon-style character illustration - quick, reliable and cost-effective - and would happily draw the pair together in one scene; if you are still weighing options, we are illustrators for hire at nextmars.com.

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
A pet in full Victorian getup is a genuinely fun brief. We are a human-only digital art studio, no AI anywhere in the pipeline, and portrait-style illustration is well within what we paint - nextmars.com if you want a look, or just drop us a mail at info@nextmars.com if that is easier.

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Food and hands is a brutally specific ask — and a smart one, that's where covers usually fall apart. We're a human-only 2D art studio, all hand-painted: if you're still looking for an illustrator for the Dose/AoN cover, nextmars.com - happy to work from a clear brief like yours.

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Umamusume OCs are a fun challenge - uniform, ears and tail all have to read right at once. Character illustration is most of what we do at our small 2D studio, and we work fine from a ref sheet or just a description: nextmars.com
000
NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
This is genuinely the best commissioning tip on here - a rough Paint collage tells us more than a page of adjectives, and beats prompting too. We're a small 2D art studio that takes commissions and honestly prefer this kind of brief. nextmars.com if you ever want another artist in your rotation.

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Too many good options is a nicer problem than none, but the 'favorites are booked forever' part is rough. We're a small 2D studio doing commission portraits and avatar art, so if you want someone who isn't on a waitlist: nextmars.com
000
NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
honestly a full illustration of that fit would go hard. We're a 2D digital art studio and character illustration is most of what we do - nextmars.com if you want to eyeball styles before you pick.

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Happy to throw our hat in - small indie teams are who we usually draw for: characters, game assets, promo art. We do 2D game development outsourcing at nextmars.com, so have a look and see if the style fits.

Both are in our wheelhouse - reusable show posters for Maraoke, plus promo art for a retro-future vector racer. Human-only studio, 400+ projects for games and books since 2017; we do game art outsourcing on modest budgets. nextmars.com, or mail info@nextmars.com for rates.

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Ha, dropping the word 'commission' does seem to summon every bot on the app. If tracking down the original artist doesn't pan out, we do commission art for game-style character pieces and could paint a new one in the same spirit: nextmars.com

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
A 'Grrr' emote for gamer rage is a great bit - and with your model sheet handy, matching the expression is easy. We're a digital art studio doing this kind of character art (emotes, badges, overlays) with quick turnaround, and can keep the whole set consistent if you add more: nextmars.com

A blood-soaked potato warrior kneeling under a bear pelt needs someone who can stage a whole scene, not just draw a figure - that's the kind of character art we do every day. If you're still hunting for the right style match, we can rough out Spudz before you commit: nextmars.com

Abbi sounds fun to draw. If you would like her done as a proper paid commission rather than waiting on a free request, character art is what our illustrators do all day - portfolio is at nextmars.com.

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
A whole batch of Tara AUs at once is a fun brief - same face, completely different mood and wardrobe in each one. Character design is what our team draws day in, day out, so if you're still short on names, we're at nextmars.com
000
NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Silhouette-first fantasy landscapes live or die on the negative space, so that is a brief worth doing properly. Environment concept art is a big slice of what our team draws, all human-made, and a low-to-mid three-figure budget is well within range: nextmars.com

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
If the band wants the logo hand-drawn rather than set in a font, that is squarely our lane - we are a digital art studio, and illustrated lettering and emblem work is part of what we put out. Happy to send samples and a quote: nextmars.com

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Not a mutual, but happy to be an option - we take on single-character commission pieces like this for clients all the time, and a Pokemon illustration is a quick, fun brief for us. Your friend can check our work at nextmars.com and DM the references over whenever.

NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
A whole team sprinting through the sewers with a wall of pursuers behind them is a fun composition problem - depth and silhouette do most of the work there. Character design and full-scene illustration are our studio's core, so happy to throw our hat in: nextmars.com
000
NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
The Scott Pask look is a strong north star for an audio drama - with no set on stage, the backgrounds have to carry all the worldbuilding. We're a digital art studio doing 2D background and illustration work for stage, film and games, and would happily send samples over: nextmars.com/portfolio
000
NextMars.com @smallbigcat.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
