About Me
Hello! I'm the Autistic Baron, or Eric Bala. a seasoned artist who excels in both traditional / digital drawing and animation! I've opened commissions after many people share the emotional impact and unique style my work holds. I have autism and OCD, a strange yet great combination of the mind. lots of life is especially in my own thoughts, making all my pieces express some form of detailed feeling. I want to share that love with you guys!
Conveying your emotions
I'm here to write your imagination! with that comes the unique soft style that comes right off the tip of the mind. I make mementos- emotional pieces that convey surface emotions, deep emotional connection, representation, or just things that aren't explainable. my styles go all the way from hard tone to soft cell shades, deep inking all the way to oil painting. I work with layers but can blend line work if you prefer that for a natural or light texture. My job as your artist is to be your vessel into the mind and help you seek out the things you wish you can express in a way more vibrant than ever before. the mind and heart are my domain, feel free to talk about that expression!
Sketch or styled
Deep ink, oil paint, sketch, full color, deep shade, or a custom style! if one size doesn't fit all then try them all! too much art is locked to a single style that expresses uniquely. to truly master art means understanding every page can have any type of line and stroke across it. a sketch can convey any style as long as you have a vision. and if you don't, we can find the vision together! don't be afraid to be dynamic.
Fanart / Original characters
Yes!! I will draw your OC or Fanart. You can describe scenarios or specific Lore bits to add to! I excel at imaginative portrayal of characters and creatures. Remember it's your piece, I'm your window to the soul. I may ask to even display your OC on my channel or page (with credit to the client and socials:). if you think your character can use fleshing out then you can always ask for original details and ideas to go around them! the franchise art style might also be a factor in the overall art process (example: Cuphead Fanart with a cartooning and static filter).
