Just wanted to say I've been a fan of your site for about a year now-Β
The characters you create in your tales are wonderful-Β
The artist(s) that create them seem to really capture their personalities very well.

It is definitely nice to put a face to the characters you read about.
Since we learn about their personalities and minds in the stories being able to visualize their faces Β I thinkΒ
allows the readers to experience a more life-like quality to the story.
Β Do you know if the artist is or will be accepting other requests in the future?Β
Please continue writing- your works always brighten my day.

Thank you!
Mathia is booked well into 2015 and probably 2016. Β Mathia works almost exclusively for RR and then slots in other projects that are interesting (although Mathia ONLY does yaoi art covers for RR regardless). Β I would check Mathia's journal to see availability.

Mathia has blog posts as well as brushes if you look at the DA page. Β You can probably find out what you're looking for just by poking around.

Mathia's ability to capture details astounds me. Look at the leather jacket. Mathia even got the speckling that you see. It makes the books come to life.
