My Comics
Assistant/Team Work
The Tree In My Garden Is Gone
A short comic about unexpected loss, and healing through community, created in January 2023.
Beyond the Lantern Light
When faced with grief, taxes, and a weird deer, old woman Marta does the only truly responsible thing: run away. Fleeing into the Unending Night, Marta doesn’t expect to get roped into a mission to figure out why it has expanded for the first time in living memory. But despite her intentions, she finds that there are many secrets to be discovered where the sun never rises.
Updates Thursdays.
You can read the comic for free here.
Space Boy
I worked as an assistant for Stephen McCranie's Space Boy from episodes 228-336 and 338-341. While I mostly inked backgrounds, I also frequently did flats and colors, and I trained other assistants throughout my time working on the project. The following pages are from episode 295, to show a sample of my contribution to the project.
You can read the comic for free on Webtoon.
Blue Skies and Forget Me Nots
Aro Ojeda has a normal life. Normal house, normal family, normal girlfriend... at least, that's what he thinks. One day, when he and Julia get sucked through a magical portal, they land in a place with unnaturally blue skies and unnaturally perfect people. As they fight to get home, Aro learns more about Julia's far-from-normal life. Both must choose what they value most: the lives they're used to, or their relationship?
Blue Skies and Forget-Me-Nots is a completed comic, created by a team of four people in 2020. I was in charge of the colors for the comic.
You can read the comic for free on Webtoon.
Pot of Gold
I assist on Natasha Berlin's Pot of Gold (episodes 1-3, 8-current) as a colorist, flatter, and background artist. The following pages are from episode 25, before gradient maps were added.

Illustrations
Adventure Critters Series
Twelve animal characters exploring the various roles a fantasy world might need, from the classic wizard to the humble newsboy.
Martian Studios
These are backgrounds I painted for Martian Studios, for the Doctrine and Covenants Stories series by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was given a sketch and a color key for each background.
You can view the project in its entirety here.
Short Film Backgrounds
These backgrounds were used for a variety of short films, either as part of the finished film or as pre-production concept work.

My favorite things to draw are fantasy characters, rich environments, and animals. I also enjoy creative "family portrait" style illustrations, anthro/furry characters, and simple sci-fi!
Full Body Character
110 USD for first character
+80 USD per additional character
+110 USD for background
Simple scene elements are free!
Due to the time-consuming nature of composing groups, a "group shot" fee of 10 USD per character will apply to commissions that contain 4+ characters.
Full Body Animal
70 USD for first animal
+55 USD per additional animal
+110 USD for background
Simple scene elements are free!
Due to the time-consuming nature of composing groups, a "group shot" fee of 5 USD per animal will apply to commissions that contain 4+ animals.
Portraits
25 USD for lineart
+20 USD for color
+15 USD for a prop/hand
This option is for those who want something fast and simple! They are great for profile pictures and D&D tokens.
Only one edit is included for this commission type.
Interested in commissioning me?
To request a commission, fill out this simple form, email me, or message me on social media. If you want a portrait, you can also use my Ko-fi (it doesn't require an account).
I will get back to you with any follow-up questions, a price quote/invoice, and a timeline of when you can expect to see the sketch, the lineart, and the colors. Once you pay at least part of the invoice, I will start drawing!
You may find more detailed TOS below.
If you have questions, or you want something different from what I have listed here, feel free to email me!
Terms and Conditions
Payment will be all or half up-front, unless otherwise agreed upon.
Payment will be through Venmo, PayPal Invoice, Ko-fi, or an alternative already agreed-upon method. No checks will be accepted.
No genAI images will be accepted as reference material.
Commissions are digital goods and will not be printed, unless otherwise agreed upon. The commissioner will receive one or more digital file(s) containing the drawing. The commissioner is allowed to print the drawing for personal use.
If the commission is canceled by either party before work has begun, the client will receive a full refund. A partial refund will be given for canceled commissions already in progress, according to what stage they are at, matching the price that a commission at that stage would have been. Example: A full-color, full-body character with no background (priced at $110) that is canceled at the inks stage will only be charged $65, as that is how much a no color, full-body character with no background would have cost.
A full-body character design commission (one with no visual reference of the character provided) will require an $85 USD design fee. This is to cover the additional time spent creating the design and communicating with the client regarding design choices.
The commissioner will not resell the drawing, print for sale, use as NFT, use the drawing to generate AI images, edit the drawing using AI, or claim the drawing as their own work. Elijah maintains ownership of the drawings created.
If the commissioner uses the drawing as an avatar, banner, or other graphic, visible credit must be given to Elijah (as either Elijahthemouse or Elijah L.).
Elijah has the right to refuse any commission for any reason.
The commissioner will not hire another artist to draw over the commission unless both Elijah and the other artist agree to it.
Elijah has the right to refuse large edits at the final stage of the completion (such as changing the character's pose or clothing), and you will still be required to pay the full price of the commission. If you still desire those edits, additional payment will be required.
You must be 18 years or older to commission Elijah.
By commissioning Elijah, you are agreeing to these terms.
