About Me

Hi, I’m Caroline Hamblin! Born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I’ve been passionate about art for as long as I can remember. Drawing and creating has always been a part of my life, and over the years, I’ve developed a love for digital illustration as a way to bring my ideas—and the worlds of others—to life.

I’m endlessly inspired by fantasy, science fiction, horror, and romance, and I love weaving elements from these genres into my work. Whether it’s crafting intricate characters, designing immersive environments, or capturing small, meaningful details, I aim to create artwork that resonates emotionally and visually.

When I’m not at my tablet, you’ll often find me reading (always something fantastical!), spending time with my two dogs or exploring new inspirations for future projects. I love connecting with fellow creatives and art lovers, and I strive to make the commission process as enjoyable and collaborative as possible.

Every piece I create is made with care, attention to detail, and a desire to bring your vision to life—because art, for me, is about storytelling, imagination, and the joy of creating something truly unique.

Pricing Information

  • All pricing is based on the complexity of the piece. Elements such as intricate armor, dynamic poses, detailed environments, and multiple characters can influence the final cost. By completing the commission form, I can provide an accurate quote tailored to your project. I can also send my pricing sheet upon request, though please note it is subject to change as my workload and rates evolve. Discounts are occasionally available as well.

  • I offer flexible payment plans to make the process as comfortable as possible. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your commission. For larger, multi-piece orders of higher value, I can accept a 35% deposit instead.
    The remaining balance is typically due upon delivery of the final artwork—unless we’ve discussed and arranged a payment plan in advance. If you prefer to pay month by month rather than all at once, I am more than happy to accommodate that.

  • I accept Apple Pay, Venmo, and PayPal. You’re welcome to choose whichever method works best for you.

FAQ

  • Turnaround time depends on whether my commission schedule is currently full. Art takes time, and I always aim to deliver high-quality work—so I truly appreciate your patience.
    Authors with deadlines do receive priority, but I promise to work as efficiently as I can while maintaining quality.

  • Yes, I do. However, I recommend starting with a personal-use commission. If you later decide to use the artwork for commercial purposes, we can upgrade your license anytime.
    There’s no need to purchase a commercial license if you don’t end up using the piece commercially.

  • All final artworks are delivered via email as high-quality PNG or JPG files. TIFF upon request.

  • I work in sRGB by default.
    If you need CMYK for printing purposes, I can convert the final piece—or create it in CMYK from the beginning if you prefer. Just let me know in advance!

  • Yes. Minor revisions such as color adjustments, small detail changes, or expression tweaks are included.
    Larger changes (new poses, different backgrounds, added characters, etc.) may require an additional fee depending on complexity.

  • Upon request
    Feedback welcomed at any point.

  • You may cancel at anytime. The deposit is non refundable.

  • Yes. I can accommodate mature themes.

  • Only with a commercial license.
    Personal commissions cannot be used for profit or resold.
    If you're planning to use the artwork on covers, prints, ads, or merch, I’ll quote you a commercial rate.

  • Sometimes, yes—unless you request privacy.
    If you prefer your piece kept confidential (especially for book covers), please let me know and I’ll happily honor that.

  • Yes, please! Character sheets, Pinterest boards, mood boards, or photos all help ensure your vision is captured accurately.

  • Yes, invoices are available upon request. Just let me know, and I’ll be happy to provide one for your records.

  • Reference pictures and mood boards are visual guides that help me clearly understand your character, setting, or overall tone. These can include photos, artwork, color palettes, Pinterest boards, clothing styles, or anything that captures the mood you’re aiming for.
    The more visual clarity you provide, the easier it is for me to bring your vision to life accurately.

  • No—absolutely no AI is used at any point in my creative process. Every piece is drawn and painted entirely by hand (digitally). I also kindly ask that you do not upload my artwork to any AI training, editing, or generation sites.
