What It Is

JSAMA ART is the personal portfolio and commission platform of freelance illustrator Javier S. (JSA). Based in Ecuador, the artist has been working in digital illustration since 2016, specializing in character art inspired by anime, Final Fantasy, and high fantasy styles, offering custom character illustration services to clients worldwide.

Core Dimension Analysis

• Tool/Service Type: Fully custom digital illustration commission service, not an automated design tool.
• Core Features: Offers illustrations for avatars, half-body, full-body, character reference sheets (three-view), and group scenes. The art style is divided into three tiers: Simple (flat colors), Shaded (with shading), and Painted (fully rendered), catering to different levels of detail.
• Licensing and Copyright: Base pricing is for personal use by default. Commercial licensing requires separate discussion and pricing via email.
• Collaboration Capabilities: The commission process is highly structured, including form submission, quotation, sketch review, progress updates, and final delivery. Clients are entitled to one revision during the sketch stage; major changes afterward may incur additional fees.
• Export and Compatibility: Final files are delivered as high-resolution PNGs at 11″ × 14″ and 300 dpi, suitable for both print and digital display.

Pricing

Pricing increases by format and level of detail: avatars range from $60–$160, half-body illustrations from $80–$200, full-body illustrations from $100–$400, complete character reference sheets are fixed at $400, and group scenes require a quote based on the number of characters and complexity. Orders over $200 support installment payments, and full payment is required to reserve a slot.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Detailed art style that strongly fits fantasy and anime-inspired aesthetics; transparent commission process with sketch review upfront to reduce communication costs; professional delivery specifications (300 dpi).
Cons: Limited availability, with typically only 3 open slots; turnaround time of 1–4 weeks; payment only supports PayPal/Xoom, which may be inconvenient for users without these payment methods; revisions become costly after sketch approval.

Who It’s For

D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) players, tabletop RPG game masters, fantasy novel authors, indie game developers, and anime-style fans with OCs (original characters).

Access in China

Unknown. As a personal website, it is usually likely to be directly accessible, but because payment only supports PayPal/Xoom, users in mainland China may face relatively high payment barriers.
