Process
How It Works
Five clear stages, from first message to final files, so you always know what happens next.
- 01
Enquiry
Send your request with references, character details, and the mood you want. I confirm availability, timeline, and a final quote.
- 02
Sketch
I produce a rough sketch of the pose and composition for your feedback. This is the best stage for changes to layout and posing.
- 03
Payment
Once the sketch is approved, payment is made in full (or 50% up front for larger illustrations) before rendering begins.
- 04
Rendering
Line work, colour, lighting, and detail. I share progress updates so nothing arrives as a surprise.
- 05
Delivery
You receive high-resolution files, plus a web-sized version. Typical turnaround is 1–3 weeks depending on scope and queue.

About the Artist
Joshua Easter
I’m the artist and creator behind Emerald Outcast. Art has been a major part of my life for years, and I’ve continued developing my skills through independent practice and formal studies in graphic design and game art.
My work is primarily character-focused illustration with an emphasis on semi-realism, expressive poses, and strong visual storytelling — fan art, original characters, portraits, and pieces inspired by fantasy, comics, anime, games, and film.
What sets my work apart is that I don’t want a piece to feel like it was drawn simply to fill a commission slot. I want each one to capture something about the character, person, or story behind it. I enjoy learning what a client envisions and translating that into artwork that feels personal to them.
Emerald Outcast also represents something personal: embracing creativity, individuality, and the parts of ourselves that don’t always fit neatly into what others expect. My long-term goal is to build it into a professional creative business while developing my own original stories and characters.
Art Collaboration
Working With Other Artists
I’m open to collaborating with other artists, writers, and creators on projects — shared illustrations, character design for original stories, comic and game concepts, collabs, and art trades. If you’re building something and think my style fits, tell me about it.
FAQ
Questions
My primary style is semi-realistic character illustration — expressive faces, believable anatomy, and atmospheric lighting, with influence from fantasy, comics, anime, games, and film.
