About the artist
I'm AJ, I'm a 22 year old self-taught animal artist from the United States. As a child, I used to doodle stick animals on the inside cover of my coloring books. I continued to draw as I grew older, from horses inspired by the movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, to wolves, and eventually graduating to animals of all kinds.I started drawing seriously between around 9-10 years old, where I drew "wolf characters" habitually on my only available medium, pencil and paper. At age 12, I asked my parents for a drawing tablet. I have been working digitally since then.I am an animal lover and advocate, having owned several species of animals throughout my life. I now own 14 rats, 7 rabbits, and a cat, and have volunteered for a rabbit rescue since 2013. I take every opportunity that arises to educate others on proper animal care. My love for animals is the reason that they are my chosen subject for my artwork.Current tools: Paint Tool SAI, Photoshop CS6 (editing and effects), Huion Inspiroy H950p

You may not, under any circumstances, remove or request to remove my signature.- I reserve the right to decline or cancel a commission for any reason. I will notify you of this decision.- My turn-around time varies wildly depending on both my schedule at the time and the complexity of the piece, but as a general rule you can expect to receive your order within 1-12 weeks.- If you have a deadline, you must notify me before you order. If said deadline does not allow me enough time to finish your work, I will decline the commission.- With the exception of custom made characters, I require visual reference for the subject of your order. Insufficient references will result in the cancellation of your order. If references provided are not detailed, I am not held responsible for any mistakes made due to this.- If you are ordering a custom character, I require a detailed description. You must be patient and communicative. For better or worse, I cannot read minds, and I can only do as much as you describe.- My queue is first come first serve with the exception of a deadline.- I will not accept orders requesting to replicate a certain art style.
Payment & Refunds

This is regardless of whether I or the client elects to cancel. Partial refunds will be offered depending on how much of the work has been completed.
