ABOUT & FAQ

✦ ABOUT ME ✦

Hey there, my name is Devana and I’m a freelance illustrator based in Romania, with a Master’s degree in Visual Arts from the West University of Timisoara, Faculty of Arts and Design.With over 5 years of experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with both independent authors and established publishers to bring their stories to life. My projects range from book covers and endpapers to interior illustrations and character art. With a focus on storytelling and atmosphere, I love creating art that resonates with readers around the world. ♡My work is often inspired by whatever creative obsession I'm currently exploring - lately, that means bringing bookish characters to life. I’m especially drawn to themes of fantasy, magic, dystopia, and romance, which are my favorite to illustrate.When I'm not drawing, you’ll usually find me reading, attempting to play the piano, or taking long walks in the park - mostly to admire every passing dog and resist the urge to get one myself.

✦ FAQ - COMMISSIONS ✦

• Do you accept personal commissions?

Personal commissions are currently closed indefinitely, since my primary focus is now commercial projects. If they reopen in the future, I'll announce it publicly and update the status accordingly.

• Do you have a waitlist?

I generally schedule projects on a first-come, first-served basis, and each one needs to have a set deadline. A project is considered booked once the scope, payment and contract have been discussed and confirmed.Since I typically book projects back to back, there’s very little room to squeeze in additional/urgent work, but feel free to reach out and check my availability - exceptions are possible!

• Do you offer discounts?

I may occasionally offer a discount depending on the scope and overall budget (especially for larger projects or long-term collaborations), but as a general rule, I stick to the rates in my pricing guide. Illustration is my full-time job, and my prices reflect the time, experience and care I put into each project. ♡

• Do I really need a contract/license?

Yes, any commercial project will require a signed contract. Whether the illustration is intended for marketing use, a book cover, or other promotional materials, the agreement will outline your specific licensing terms, including usage rights, duration, exclusivity, and any additional details relevant to your project.All licenses can be updated or extended at any time. New licensing terms and fees will be discussed and tailored to your needs.

• Need more information?

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or uncertainties. I’ll gladly provide any additional information you need to help determine whether we’re a good match for your project. ♡

✦ FAQ - TOOLS ✦

• What tools and software do you use for drawing?

Software: I'm using the Procreate app on the iPad Pro 13" 2024.Brushes: I'm using my own custom brushes from the Velvet Set (Clean Softie is my go-to for everything) in combination with some of Procreate's default brushes, such as the Hard Brush or the Flat Brush. You can find my brush sets here & support my work at the same time. ♡Canvas size: 3540 x 4350px generally, but anything above 3000px and 300DPI works fine.
