telling stories through digital art
and creative writing

personal projects

the cardigan express

a webcomic still in development.

the cardigan express is an action-fantasy pg-13 story with a vivid, colorful art style that can only be described as a mixture of "realistic" and "cartoony," blending fantasy and reality just like light and shadow.

the story centers around a realm of faeries parallel to our own, taking place during the late 1880s in "earth time." the cardigan express focuses on themes of trauma and healing from it, self-reflection, and found family—and most importantly, compassion and love of the self and of others. entirely designed, drawn, and written by myself.

the last stitch

a fan-webcomic based off of league of legends characters "viego" and "shaco," still in development. will be viewable on my twitter when completed.

about me

portrait of an original character, 2022

i'm flynn, and i'm a nineteen-year-old freelance digital artist and creative writer. i specialize in fantasy digital art, particularly on original characters and fan art of characters from established media such as video games and animated or live-action series. however, i love stylistic challenges and am open to tackling commissions of all different desired styles!

i strive to capture stories within my art through emotion and symbolism, particularly for my more fantasy-oriented pieces. outside of the fantasy genre, i have also painted stylized digital portraits of real-life people for them and their families.

currently i am pursuing my GED, and afterwards, a higher education in the arts. if you enjoy my work and wish to support me, you're supporting a young queer student!

i'm open for commissions 24-7!*

please contact me at flynnwelzbacher@gmail.com either using my contact form or through your own email if you have a commission inquiry or job offer. prospective clients seeking to commission me will be given a brief summary of my terms and conditions before the commission is accepted.

feel free to contact me if you have any questions, as well!

*commissions are subject to close at any time without warning. the amount of people i choose to accept commissions from at any given opening period can vary widely. all of my digital art is hand-drawn and not supplemented by the use of "A.I." algorithm technology. i reserve the right to politely refuse to do work with clients who have an interest in such interfaces.
