HUMAN ART, DIGITAL ILLUSTRATION & VARIOUS CREATIONS
Drawn before 2022, but artworks that I'm still proud of.
Some contain my old pseudonym Nerinea.
ARISH NEA
(They/Them)
I am a queer, non-binary, trans, neurodivergent, and disabled digital artist with a scientific background, from and based in the Balkans, after living for 5 years in the United Kingdom.Women and queer motifs are most commonly found in my art, where
I love processing life through fictional and fantasy references. Mostly focused on character illustration and fanart, my art is both a celebration of the beauty I admire and a respite from the reality that angers me.I specialize in semi-realistic and anime-style depictions of humanoids, inspired by anime and paintings with bold colors and high contrast. You can also find me practicing the so-called "cell-shaded" coloring style, drawing chibi humanoids, and enthusiastically using dynamic-width lineart. I use absolutely no AI in my creation process and am opposed to AI "art" and NFTs.Apart from illustration, I have experience in art merch designing and production, as well as organizing and coordinating collaborative fanthology art projects with 30-60 artists and writers on the team. The most notable and successful projects include Academy Emblem (a Fire Emblem crossover fanthology), two volumes of Heroine Impact (a Genshin Impact fanthology), and You (a Beiguang fanthology).I am very passionate and enthusiastic about collaborative art projects, so please don't hesitate to contact me if you have something on your mind. Let's create Together![email protected]
You can contact me in both English and Bosnian-Serbian-Croatian.

TERMS & CONDITIONS
GENERAL
I reserve the right to not accept a commission. I reserve the right to cancel the commission at any time due to changes in personal circumstances or client misconduct. In this case, a full cancellation policy applies.I feel most comfortable drawing humans and humanoid fantasy species in anime or semi-realistic style. Although not as common in my art, I also feel comfortable drawing creatures, animals, and plants in a semi-realistic or stylized style. Commission me something outside of my comfort zone at your own risk.I will not draw mechas, heavy pornography (pin-ups and some interactions between nude characters are fine), fetish art, hateful content towards any protected characteristics, minority, or community, art intended to be sold as NFT, or be involved with anything related to Cryptocurrency, art intended to be used to train AI or promote AI art.
DUE DATES AND DELIVERY
I am only opening two commission slots every two weeks, and I am not opening new ones until I have finished them. My estimated delivery time is two weeks or less.
Delivery time will depend on our communication and revisions as well, with slower response time from the client's side and extra revisions prolonging delivery time. Time lost due to communication delays from the client does not count towards the due date.
Less time-intensive commissions like sketches or chibis can take less than a week with rapid communication and few revisions.
Elaborate paintings and character sheets have an estimated delivery time of two weeks from payment, but they might take longer depending on complexity. I will always inform you of the expected delivery time during job quotation, and will always inform you if delays happen during the job.
When you receive your quote, I will always inform you of the expected delivery time as well.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
I reserve full rights to the artwork and its distribution and use unless otherwise specified and unless exclusive rights have been purchased by the client. I reserve the right to display any commissioned artwork on any of my websites, or in my portfolio, and use it in marketing, publishing, and merchandise production.
All my artworks are protected by the Croatian Copyright and Related Rights Act and the EU Copyright Law
FAIR USE
The client must not claim the work as their own or edit/modify the work.
The client cannot use the commissioned art to train AI (artificial intelligence) or sell as NFTs.
Unless they have bought commercial rights, the client cannot use the commissioned artwork for profit, such as prints or merchandise, NFT/Blockchain etc.
Unless they have bought commercial rights, the client cannot use the commissioned artwork for promoting their business or personal brand, such as use for YouTube/Twitch/Podcast icons, thumbnails, video cards, etc.

The client may upload commissioned artwork on social media or to an online gallery, provided that I am also credited and the following link is always displayed with the commissioned work: linktr.ee/arishnea. If posting to social media that I have an account on, the client must also include my handle in credits (you can find a list of all social media accounts and handles on linktr.ee/arishnea).
