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
i'm flynn, and i'm a twenty-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 only have the resources to keep art a side hustle. however, if you enjoy my work and wish to support me, you're also supporting my dream of being an artist full-time!
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.
