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.Since 2024, I have begun transitioning to creating art that is also conscious of the environment and the finite resources of our Earth. Click here to learn how I make my art ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS.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.

ENVIRONMENTALLY-CONSCIOUS ART

Since 2024, I have begun transitioning to creating art that is also conscious of the environment and the finite resources of our Earth.The burden of responsibility is far from tiny artists making their art exist in a physical form, but my conscious also doesn't allow me to completely sideline these concerns. We might not be able to do much, but we should still try to do whatever we can.Every choice I make and every third-party company I use is carefully chosen in a way that contributes to sustainability.Here is how I do it:


REDUCE - REUSE - RECYCLE

I implement these practices in my home studio and aim to only work with other companies that are committed to such practices themselves.All packaging I use in my home studio to pack and ship your art pieces is REUSED. I save all the packaging I receive and collect it from my friends and family to reuse it and save our Earth's resources.This means that sometimes I will use plastic packaging, but this is only because it's reused. Whenever I have to get new packaging supplies, they are always PLASTIC-FREE.Whenever working with other fulfillment companies, I use those that are either using exclusively PLASTIC-FREE PACKAGING, or those that are reducing their plastic use and transitioning to plastic-free.I'm also sorting waste in my home studio and sending to recycling whatever I can't reuse. I also aim to work with companies that are doing the same in their operations.


POWERED BY RENEWABLE ENERGY

My studio, where I illustrate and otherwise work and prepare physical orders myself, is mostly solar-powered. I say mostly because the building has just moved its heating to electric and we're waiting on reports to see if all heating and electrical use on a yearly basis is covered by the energy produced by our solar panels. Hopefully, I can climb on the roof sometime soon and take some photos as proof. ^^When choosing companies to work with, the usage of renewable sources of energy is one of the most important factors I take into account.Here is a list of some of the companies I use powered by renewable energy:PayPal - 100% of their global data center energy from renewable sourcesCarrd - Carrd websites are hosted on Cloudfare, which reached zero emissions by renewable energy and offset purchasesEtsy - 100% powered by renewable electricityPrintful - began transitioning all their offices to renewable energy; actively seeks to work with labs that use renewable energy over standard grid electricityKo-Fi - TBA

CHOICE OF MATERIALS AND INK

I will move all my physical art to either responsibly sourced wood, recycled acrylic, or other recycled or sustainable materials.Here is a list of manufacturers I use with this in mind:PawPrint & Recycled Acrylic - they work with 100% pre- and post-consumer recycled plastics, Greencast recycled R-MMA acrylic, which is also made in Europe. By manufacturing with them, I make sure that my art is designed, raw materials sourced, items manufactured, and items packed and shipped to you, all within Europe. This lowers transport emissions significantlyPawPrint & Wood - their wood is sourced from nearby, well-managed forests and controlled PEFC- and FSC-certified suppliers. Wood is also biodegradable, so my art will not leave a permanent mark past its use to youPrints - my prints are printed on sustainably sourced paper or wood from sustainable forests, and are printed in water-based inksPlease note, my older pieces, which were produced before 2024, do not necessarily fit this requirement, but to reduce waste and usage of resources to produce them again, they're still in my catalogue while the stocks last.

LOCAL PRINTING AND FULFILLMENT

Whenever possible, I use Print on Demand, which will print and ship your art pieces from within your country. This not only saves time and import fees to you, but also saves on carbon emissions from transport.Prints - my prints are printed and fulfilled locally when ordered from the EU, UK, USA, Canada, and Australia. This massively reduces carbon emissionsStickers - my stickers are printed and fulfilled locally when ordered from the EU, and the UK. This massively reduces carbon emissions. They are also printed using inks with lower VOC content than normal solvent inks, which makes them significantly less hazardous


FINITE GROWTH

My only concern with the growth is to grow large enough so I can 100% support myself and my family with my art.My growth will be limited by time and resources available to one person (or two people tops).Infite growth is exploitative, immoral, and not sustainable on a planet with finite resources.


I have listed all companies and manufacturers for full transparency and to prevent gatekeeping these resources.
Please feel free to check their credentials yourself, keep me and them accountable, and if you're also an artist reading this, I encourage you to consider implementing these changes yourself.
If you have concerns or if you have an exciting manufacturer that also uses recycled and/or sustainable materials, and you'd like to share them, please feel free to get in touch.I would love nothing more than for artists to share and promote those who can help us make our art while being environmentally conscious!

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 bought and 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 use the commissioned art on social media for promotional purposes with no profit attached, such as private profile pictures, backgrounds, and screensavers, and use in personal spaces, such as printing and merchandise for personal use alone. Personal use includes gifts.
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).

CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY

Commission can only be cancelled within 48h of payment and ONLY if I haven't started working on it. In this case, If cancellation is evoked, a contract cancellation fee of 10% percent of the total price applies.Otherwise, I do not accept cancellations and refunds. My services and artwork produced fall under tailor-made, personalised items so they are exempt from the EU's Consumer Contracts Regulations.I do not accept refunds unless they were initiated from my side.The commissioner will not be refunded if they are unsatisfied with the final result of the commission, however, depending on the case I will be willing to negotiate additional revisions.I make sure to include you in every stage of the process and the price covers many revisions because I want to make sure you're completely satisfied with your commission.If I am unable or unwilling to finish a commission for whatever reason, the commissioner can choose to be refunded in full or to receive a partially finished art piece with a partial refund.Partial refund is calculated in the following way:
- Artwork in the rough sketch phase: 80% refund
- Artwork in the clean sketch phase: 60% refund
- Artwork in the flat colors phase: 40% refund
