About Me
Kel (they/he), or by their pen name, K.K. Lee, is a queer artist hailing from Southeast Asia. They make illustrations (sometimes fan work, sometimes original) and have a deep appreciation for all things art and history.
Kel also occasionally dabbles in music and writing. He really enjoys world-building and writing character profiles, whether it be for fantasy or more grounded (slice-of-life) worlds. Talk about multiple interests!
F.A.Q.
What art programs and brushes do you use?
For digital illustration, I use Clip Studio Paint and IbisPaint X, and sometimes Asperite for pixel art. I tend to stick to the default brushes for all these programs, with the exception of the Crm_γ©γ‘ε ₯γγγ³γ»γγV2+γγΎγ pen set which I use for digital painting.I'd also recommend using the Trisketched Ink Brushes! Very fun to sketch and line with!
Can I use your art as a profile picture or banner?
Sure! Just make sure to credit me as 'herbkilos' in your bio.
Can I repost your art?
Do refrain from doing so. Please don't repost my art, especially on platforms I don't use like TikTok or Pinterest. (I guess if you were to do such a thing, however, at least credit me? Don't pass my work off as your own.)
Do you take commissions?
Sometimes I do! Check here to see its status, or if you're feeling brave enough, message me on my social media and I'll let you know what I can do from there.
Is @alkhelmist (or any similar variant) also you?
...Yes.
