Hello!

I'm Eva, an illustrator and designer with love for telling stories through illustration. I enjoy character-focused work, especially those leaning towards the fantastical. Right now, I'm finding my niche creating book covers for indie authors, with the occasional foray into hand-lettered typography (sometimes both at the same time).

Call me Eva

She/Her

I'm a South Asian artist, writer, and designer who clearly has too many interests for her own good. When I'm not learning yet another skill, you can find me reading several books at the same time or playing video games. I often make fan art for media I enjoy!I am usually open for commercial work and individual projects on a case by case basis. I'm interested in doing work in character illustration, and book cover art and design (I can do either or both). I currently work with indie authors for book cover projects, and am available for work from the third quarter of 2026.Want to discuss further?


General Commission Info

  • Please email me for a specific quotation based on what you have in mind, as prices may vary based on the complexity of the intended work. You may lead with your budget if you wish.

  • I generally price commercial work higher than personal ones. If you'd like to license a personal commission for commercial use, please reach out to discuss a separate licensing fee.

  • I primarily accept payments through Buy Me A Coffee and split the payment, taking half up front and half upon completion.

  • Please send your references (both written and visual) in a single document, like a PowerPoint or PDF. And just like how you might have comp titles for your story, please try to include comp covers (existing covers that are stylistically similar to what you have in mind). Feel free to get fun with it! Make it a pitch deck. Put memes in it. Stick figures and sticky notes!

  • I value clear and honest feedback throughout the process. Major changes at a later stage are charged an extra 5% on the base quotation, as they require additional work.

  • I retain the right to display my work in my portfolio and social media, though I will only do so when the work is complete and has been approved by the client.

  • Both parties agree to protect any sensitive information that might be disclosed.

  • Clients may not use my work for the sale of NFTs or for the generation of AI "art".

  • I do not endorse hate speech and bigotry against marginalised groups. In light of the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, I would specifically like to note that I do not tolerate anti-Palestinian sentiment. I trust that clients approach me in good faith, but I am entitled to backing out if such concerns arise.

  • Please credit my work if you're sharing it! You may either tag me on social media platforms or link my portfolio.

  • If there are any paid assets that you'd like me to use (a licensed font, for example), I ask that my client pay for the cost of licensing it. If this is not an option, I will prioritise my own assets or open-source assets and fonts, to avoid incurring additional costs.

Scroll ahead to learn more about my available brush sets:


Painter Brush Set

These are the brushes I use for colouring and rendering.

  • Liner: what it says on the tin. I use this for outlining and fine edges, usually while doing a line-less, more painterly style.

  • Dry round: a round brush with a dry texture. Nice for building up textures in a painting.

  • Dry: a square brush with a dry texture. Same as the previous, but especially suited for painting over larger areas.

  • Scratchy blend: a blending brush with a bit of texture. I use this for painting and smudging.

  • Scratchy round: textured round brush with a scratchy feel; I used it for the background in the featured image!

  • Round textured: lightly textured round brush, good for painting.

  • Round blend: an all-purpose round blending brush. I use this quite often regardless of the art style I am using. I use this for painting and smudging.

  • Square blend: an all-purpose square blending brush. I use this quite often regardless of the art style I am using. I use this for painting and smudging.

  • Swipe: textured hard brush that is best used in horizontal swipes. This one is pretty niche in terms of usage, but it's pretty nice for covering large areas with solid paint.


Brush Pens

These brush pens for line-art and sketching, inspired by the look and feel of traditional brush pens. There are two of them: a normal brush pen, and a slightly distressed brush pen, the latter of which is slightly rougher around the edges than the first one.


Speedpaint Brush Set

This is a set of nine Procreate brush pens for speedpainting and concept art. The first row of brushes are good for foliage, while the second row of brushes are nice for creating textures over large areas, such as the ground. The last row are for blocking in large shapes.


Calligraphy Brush Set

This brush set, inspired by The Art of Calligraphy by David Harris, features four brushes: Uncial, Textura Quadrata, Insular Majuscule, and a monoline brush for adding flourishes.


Stars Brush Set

A set of three stamp brushes for the drawing of a night sky. Includes a realistic version, a more stylised one, and a final brush that combines both.
