Hi! I'm Kate (keh) a self taught artist in the UK.
I use markers, paint markers and other traditional media (as well as digital) to create original artwork, cartoons, fanart + comics

Artwork

Recent Works

Marker + Mixed Media

The majority of my work is made using various paint markers, alcohol markers + other traditional media. Sometimes with a background/elements added digitally.I mostly draw my original characters + random made up fantasy girls.

Digital Artwork

My digital artwork is mostly made using Clip Studio Paint

Chibi / Cartoon Style

Most of the work below was produced to promote the Sketch Request tier on my Patreon or for my Patrons of their own character requests.

Sonic the Hedgehog Fanart

I grew up reading the UK's Sonic the Comic and enjoy making fanart of the characters + contributing to fancomics and projects in the various worlds of Sonic the Hedgehog.

personal commissions

COMMISSION STATUS = CLOSED

Sorry, I am not currently available for full personal use art commissions!

However, you can currently get monthly digital Sketch Requests like the examples above via my Patreon from £15+Note: These prices are much less than I would charge for full commissioned work of a similar quality because these are requests where I basically draw requested characters in my style with few specifics (eg: pose) or edits/revisions.⊹˚₊‧───────────‧₊˚⊹

  • I do requests in my manga/comic art style and also my chibi/cartoon style - as seen in the examples below - you can choose which you would like.

  • In this offer, manga/comic style are waist-up/busts and chibi/cartoon/Sonic-style characters are full body.

  • I can add some simple background elements such as a plant/tree/clouds

  • You will receive a hi-res 300dpi copy of the artwork as a private download - I often add simple background effects, sticker cut-out effect or a shaped frame, but will send a plain/flat BG copy too :)

  • You are welcome to use the artwork for your personal online profile/profile picture and share the artwork to your personal account as long as you don't take credit + include credit to me.

⊹˚₊‧───────────‧₊˚⊹
You can read all the information about these Sketch Requests here.

I am hoping to re-open full personal use art commissions soon.
When I do, my Patrons will be the first to get dibs on a slot + also get a commission discount.
You can join my Patreon here.

Otherwise, I will announce on my social media when they are open, please follow for announcements!:
