β˜”ABOUT MEο½‘α―“β˜…Β°β€§

Hello everynyans I'm khaae [kay]!!

I'm an 20↑ artist from Hong Kong, who's also a uni student in Australia. What once started art as a hobby now turned something I want to take more seriously!I've always loved drawing not only things I like and a fan of, but also illustrations for projects here and there.
Someday I wish to draw for fanzines/zines, games, promotional work- maybe even make my own merchandise... But for now I'll draw as much as I can to further improve my skill!
I hope my artwork can inspire you through its vibrant colors. Thank you for sticking around!! ✩

βŒ— LANGUAGES
english only; i can't write/read chinese...

ΛšπŸ–‡οΈOTHER_FAQ!

1. Do you do character sheets, emotes, + more...

I have done character sheets, sprites, pixel art, etc. in the past- but for now I want to focus on making more general artwork for my skills before diving into niches for my commissions. (Excluding freelance work!)I'll most likely expand on more specfic types of commissions in the future like ones mentioned in the Q.

`

2. Any side projects you're working on?

On and off my studies I experimented a lot on building on Roblox using their studio. I learned a lot about PVC textures and a tiny bit of coding (not that much) trying to recreate places from Reverse:1999 and Honkai Star Rail (can be found in my interests page in ABOUT ME)!I'm also currently working on illustrating for a friend's novel series, as well as hoping to finish an animatic I wasn't able to finish a while back. Also want to make some OCs and storylines... wow... I want to do so much....

α―“WORK_FAQ β˜…Β°β€§

β˜” HOW DO I COMMISSION?

The current commission sites I have available are kirke.social and vgen!
Please send commissions through kirke for now (the best way) as I have no artist code for vgen to use its features yet.

Other commission methods/work inquires may be through Emails and DMs in Discord, and Instagram. Keep in mind I tend to be slow to reply/miss on a few messages on CMs...Payments to my commissions are by Paypal and Stripe, depending on your needs. Please read TOS before you start commissioning!

`

β˜” ARE YOU OPEN FOR
── FREELANCE WORK?

I want to try freelancing and I'm learning how to go about it... Email [email protected] if interested, since I'm free and willing to learn anything!

`

β˜” ARE ART TRADES OR
── COLLABS OPEN?

Unfortunately, I don't do them as of now. They're only open to close friends and mutuals.

`

β˜” WHAT DO YOU USE?

I mainly use procreate and their standard brushes. Feel free to check out my other tools:
