Hey I’m Leonie.
I love creating cute character illustrations!
I’m a 2D character illustrator and voxel games artist based in Victoria, Australia.
Currently I’m a part time Hipster Whale worker bee artist working on Crossy Road projects.
Please note that I do not specialise in UI art, environment design, environment art, 2D game art assets, creature designs, 3D art, animation, video editing, game development or graphic design. As one of the Crossy Road/Hipster Whale artists, I am not allowed to work on similar projects to Crossy Road, especially not using their established voxel art style (yes this did come up a few times).
I do not want to be nor my art to be involved in NFTs nor in any cryptocurrencies. I do not authorise nor consent for any person/business to include my artwork in genAI datasets or genAI art generators.
I am interested in projects that have a reasonable upfront budget, realistic/flexible deadlines & expectations, a comprehensive, clear brief with an art style moodboard & references plus good, understanding, communicative people to work with.
Your project may not be as small as you think if one considers revisions, iterations & how complex/detailed things can get! Art styles are not simple as assumed too! Please let me know which of my art styles (with image references) you’d like from me :0
Note that relatively simple art styles involves time to design/stylise and get right too!
I work best on cute, stylised character designs and character illustration!
Right now I am not open for freelance work…unless something fun with a good budget comes along.
I juggle learning, studying and making personal art in my spare time. I have tried and I don’t have a full time salary but I can’t regularly juggle, hustle, crunch and burn both ends of the candlestick doing freelance work on the side as well. Ideally I want to handle one project at a time with designated days, at my own slow pace, to do high quality work to the best of my ability! I will consider switching gears and doing a project during my off days from work for something fun and character focused!
I might be available to freelance remotely if the right, interesting, flexible, manageable 2D character illustration, design or marketing illustration project comes along and kindly considers my situation and my way of working!
Feel free to email me at business@leonieyue.com, especially if I can help you professionally!
