Hi there, I'm Budder! I'm a self taught artist who dabbles in all sorts of hobbies, talents and interests!

A bit about my work:

A lot of my work is often inspired by anime and manga, cartoons and video games. I produce a lot of fanart, as well as original characters for my own works. I'm currently working on a few graphic novels and shorter comics in my free time.

My work tends to lean towards darker genres, such as horror, psychological horror, thriller, dark fantasy or sci-fi. While my strengths lie in abysmal horror, I can also produce work that's on the other end of the spectrum; wholesome, light hearted themes. I love romance, comedy, adventure and fantasy! So long as there's a compelling plot, I can get into just about any story.

A bit about me:

I'm Australian (GMT+8), I love pizza, ramen and the colour green. Thought I'd mention that in case my signature green branding is a bit overwhelming!

I've been an artist for a long time, but only in the past few years did I start sharing my stuff online. I run a YouTube channel and casually manage several social media accounts. I'm also a creator in Cafe Dot; an up-and-coming Discord server dedicated to creating a welcoming community for artists and viewers to share.

I'm heavily inspired by all things Japan. I love manga and anime, and it's inspired me to be the artist I am today. I'm also a big gamer, which is why I also want to get into game development. I have a deep respect for people who make games.

What am I looking for?

I'm looking for paid work, like all artists are these days. I have quite a lot to offer and I would like to share my talents with the game development community. I can work on commission, per piece for art and graphic designs. I can also work an hourly rate or per word for script writing and programming. I'm a very flexible and reasonable person, so I'm willing to discuss and negotiate pricing for my commercial work/s. I'm also looking for fun and interesting stories, ideas and characters to work with. And that's where you folks come in; I'd love to help you take a step closer to your dream game or help you into the direction of achieving your game dev goals!
