D'Artsy

Illustration by Michael D'Arcy

D'Artsy is the name under which I work as an artist, illustrator, cartoonist and photo restorer. I am a freelance/commission artist that can illustrate, colour/shade and line. I also do photo restoration. I restore old family photos that have degraded with age or have been damaged. I can also perform photo manipulation such as the removal or adding of objects from photos, recolouring, ETC. I can also do very basic animation if required.

As I work to commission I can range from early prelim sketches, character design and render, through to finished pieces. My strengths are in people and portraits, though able to expand on that as needed.

Prices for work will depend on a number of factors, difficulty, time spent, number of images, size, how much client input involved, ETC. Prices and "contract" will also vary based on if the work is for personal or professional purposes. If the work is commercial then the rights to the image will have to be bought as I retain the rights to all original works. Details can be worked out as to whether it is preferred as a one time payment or a royalty based plan. (choice will probably depend on your current project budget.)

​​

If you require me to work with copyrighted material, you will need to provide evidence before work is undertaken that you have the rights to copy or use the work as instructed. If you do not have the rights to copy, manipulate, reproduce, edit, distribute an image then I will not carry out work with that image. (this includes photos)

​

If you are interested in hiring me either on a freelance or commission based project then please contact me via email or Twitter, both are available on the website.

​

Due to my work being digital it may be required that payment for work is taken in advance, in both personal and commercial work I retain all rights to any original work unless otherwise agreed by me. (this does not include photo restoration)
