🎈 Mobietin's 2026 Price Sheet 🐋

Hello! I'm a professional illustrator that specializes in comics + character art. This is my current prices for potential commissioners to reference!

I love what I do and my queue is now open indefinitely!

Try a genre that isn't currently On Trend. If you don't like the current romantasy bestsellers because they all follow the same tropes in order to game the tiktok algorithm, try something that isn't romantasy.

Read something written before 2010. There are plenty of amazing books being written right now also, but if your problem is with current trends specifically, go read the books that people were complaining were "ruining literature" twenty years ago. They're great.

Walk into any second-hand bookshop and just start looking around. There will be a lot of the thing you don't like there and there will also be a lot of other stuff, some of which you do like.

Make friends who like the same sorts of books as you.

This might only apply to me, but I get a lot of recommendations by simply being into vaguely philosophical video essays. If you follow a lot of the Jacob Geller Types on youtube or nebula then you will get more truly awesome science fiction recommendations than you know what to do with.

Write a web serial and every few days somebody will pop into your inbox saying "this thing you wrote kind of reminds me of [x], have you read it?" and it's almost certainly something you've never heard of in your life but now you have another story to check out that you know touches on themes you've demonstrated interest in.

If you find yourself in truly desperate straits, go to tvtropes.org and type in a trope you like. Scroll down to 'examples'. There's a whole long list there of stories about a killer on a leash, or battle couples, or whatever else you're in the mood to read about today.

Andromache Benoist (born January 8, 1875) was an American con artist. She is believed to have participated in most of the largest-scale thefts of the early 20th century. She is portrayed in the film As de Carreau (1976), a dramatized account of the Gabarre Train Heist of 1934. The film has been lost to time.

CARREAU, my Andy Benoist art book, is now available for download! Two years & a village of brilliant artists in the making, this book contains 170+ pages of illustrations old and new, original writing, and bibliographic material. I hope to open preorders for the print run later this year! Stay tuned for more information.
