Hey #PortfolioDay
I'm Aled and I'm a UK based illustrator and storyboard artist who's recently just made the jump to freelance. Open for commission at the moment.

1. No I don't get any of the shipping fees, and I totally get they can be ridiculously high for some people!

2. Of course you'd be welcome to print it off yourself for personal use, feel free to pay what you can afford on ko-fi - You should be able to download high quality jpegs from there too :D

I've been waiting all year to repost this 🎃

A pumpkin patch in a variety of shapes and colours, some with carved faces with different expressions. Between the pumpkins are black and white cats, crows, frogs, bushes, twigs and mushrooms.

Yeah that's a good point, I think the green was the original but I ended up shifting it to blue at some point - I also think I prefer the blue

Thank you too! There's also a second post with the concept sketch and a 2025 update for supporters too if you haven't seen it 😁
