about the wizard

(original photo taken by esrapawz on instagram)Hank Wizard (that's me!) is a multimedia artist and writer based out of North Carolina.My general focus is messy, experimental media influenced by my favorite works and my own experiences as a queer, autistic person from the south.Honestly, writing these bios can be very difficult for me- I just like making shit! Whether I'm editing posters for events, drafting up worldbuilding documents, designing fursonas, writing newsletters, coding interactive fiction, or even animating sprites- well, I just hope this list grows over time, and that my audience is just as excited as I am.

BIG influences:

the wizard's current projects

I'm going to level with you- I will never commit to one project or medium ever. I make a lot of stuff! I also work on a lot of projects simultaneously that I bounce back-n-forth from like a bouncy ball. Below is a list of my (main, public) projects.

Game dev + Self published fiction

I use Itch.io to self publish short stories and interactive fiction! Check me out.

published work

My work has appeared in the following publications:

  • WI-FI SAVES (My poem about complicated grief, HORSE MADNESS)

commission the wizard

I do multiple different forms of commission with different price scaling and T.O.S!If what you're interested in doesn't fit neatly into these categories, feel free to ask!

character design [CLOSED]

Do you play tabletops and want a design of your character? Have you always wanted a fursona or persona but don't have the art capability? Does your business need a mascot for advertising?I do custom character reference sheets (re-designing OCs, designing them from scratch, etc!). I primarily focus on kemono-inspired furry characters and human/humanoid characters! These characters belong to the commissioner entirely upon completion, which means that I also offer my services to those needing designs for paid use (like a videogame).

contact the wizard

For business inquiries only, my telegram is Hankwizard! My DMs are also open on both of my public instagrams.

character design [CLOSED]

"What are character design commissions? What do you do?"Glad you asked! This is a specialized commission slot I sell where I create (either redesign, adapt pre-existing designs, or create from the ground-up) references of your OCs, mascots, tabletop characters, and personas for personal/commercial use!These designs are not normal illustrations, they’re reference material. They won't be doing any fancy posing or tricks, instead the focus will be on diagram-like drawings to clearly detail what a character looks like for future use.My primary focus is human, humanoid, and anthropomorphic characters!

Examples

PRICING

All references will be, at minimum, a simple rendered full-body. I will provide a clothed and naked variant upon request (see T.O.S further down for details).

  • BASE PRICE: $50. This is non negotiable

  • Doing a front-and-back turnaround is a $10 extra charge.

  • I do not currently offer side-profiles to most customers because I am not confident in my ability to draw them, but this will change in the future

  • Each added outfit variant (after the first, which is included obviously) is an added $20. This bumps up to $25 after three alternative outfits (so if you want four alternative outfits, the first three will be +$20 each, and the fourth will be +25)

  • Extra details (Like smaller references for detailed items, different expressions, etc) may have me add an extra charge or might be no issue and cost no extra money. Just let me know! I decide based off of what takes extra time for me, which can vary.

  • Tips are NOT required nor expected, but are always lovely.

PRICING EXAMPLE

This character has a turnaround and an extra flourish (an upscaled bust in the center). She would be $70 (Base price $50 + turnaround $10 + the extra bust in the center $10)

This character is very simple! He's just a character with no turnaround, and the little flourishes are something that can be done pretty fast, so I wouldn't charge extra. This is an example of a character that I would charge the base price of $50 for.

WHAT I LOVE TO DRAW

Listed below are the kinds of things I have the most experience in/LOVE to draw. I like to experiment, so I’m very flexible and am 1000% down to draw stuff I haven’t before, but here’s what I’m most comfortable drawing:

  • Alternative fashion

  • Gender nonconforming characters

  • Transgender characters

  • Long hair of many textures

  • Humans/humanoids

  • Furries/Scalies/etc (Specifically kemono inspired.)
