I'm an LGBTQ+ illustrator, creating visuals driven by emotion of everyday life and vibrant colours inspired by painting and pastel! No AI.

Overview

I'm an LGBTQ+ illustrator, creating visuals driven by emotion of everyday life and vibrant colours inspired by traditional medium such as painting and pastel!


My graphic style is suitable for projects for teenager, young adults about LGBTQ+ topics, but also for children's books. I work mainly in the MM category including : Gay romance, Boy's Love, erotic gay stories, etc.


I like to create images that transport the viewer into his or her memories or into a warm and gentle feeling. In my work, I try to touch the viewer's deepest feelings by creating scenes that capture the emotion of the moment! That's why my style is perfectly suited to slice of life, romance and comedy, but also to children's stories!


◆ WHAT SERVICES DO I OFFER AND HOW DOES IT WORK ? ◆

As a graphic illustrator, we can work together to create your covers and illustrations for your printed book or ebook, and can also offer you hand typography services for your title to make your dream design possible!

If you are enchanted by my style, how will we work together?


➤ First of all, we will discuss the graphic needs of your project: how many illustrations do you want? What moods do you want? What do you want to emphasize the most? This step will allow us to better understand what is important and may even give you some ideas.

• After this stage, I will send you a quote that you can then validate. The transfer of copyright relating to the results of our collaboration is tacit, and you will be free to enjoy them as you see fit without having to account to me. If you would like a formal copyright transfer contract, please let me know so that I can prepare one.


• I recommend payment in one (1) instalment because it's much easier to manage for both the customer and me, and you'll get a 2% discount. But if the sum is too large for you, I can offer you payment in several instalments to help you recoup your investment in your project.

Please let me know so that I can take it into account!


➤ And if you validate the project and the quote, the work takes place in 3 stages:

• THE SKETCH: I will submit the sketches to you in order to validate with you the global composition. You can ask for modifications as long as the sketch is not validated


• COLOURING: Once the sketch is validated, I will start colouring in order to give you a global ambiance of your project. You can still ask to change small details in the sketch as well as in the colours.


• FINALIZATION: I will submit the almost finished work to you. You will be able to ask for colour adjustments as well as to change small details.


I hope that our collaboration will be successful and interesting for both of us!

This was my first time doing a book cover. He was professional and incredibly patient. Best of all--he guided me on the cover design. Other artists I'd approached had just asked my idea for a cover and seemed willing to produce that, no questions asked. He was the only one who, before we even agr...

Harrold-Vincent creates a very professional, clean final product. They are going above and beyond to provide me with special versions of the files I need and requested. Revisions were done promptly. There were gaps in communication due to various trips Harrold had but they were of no consequence ...
