about cryptide
Hello, I'm Cryptide! I'm a Detroit-area illustrator and concept artist specializing in character art, prop art, ref sheets and atmospheric scenes.
I'm deeply interested in the continuum between horror, fantasy and science fiction; much of the subject matter of my work stems from this fascination, and if you look at my hobbies, it's not hard to see why. I'm an avid reader of fiction, especially classic sci-fi; I'm a player of video games and D&D, and my YouTube history is full of educational dissection videos and clips from deep-sea nature documentaries.
Stylistically I'm a bit of a chameleon, and I enjoy working in a variety of both digital and traditional media -- but when in doubt I always gravitate back to my comfortable favorite: sketchbook and mechanical pencils.
I am currenty open for commissions!
For detailed information on what I offer, how much it costs and how long it takes, please see my price list and FAQ; but in general, you should expect standard orders to be completed within 2 weeks and rush orders within 24 hours.
Please familiarize yourself with my Terms of Service before filling out a commission form -- it'll save us both a lot of time!
