A Wee Bit About Little Ol' Me & My Work:

Greetings, friends. I'm Saige Levett, your friendly neighbourhood Goth and self-taught, autistic digital illustrator.

Whilst I am an illustrator, my heart has always lied in the narrative. I absolutely adore writing and pair that passion with my love of drawing by illustrating characters and the world that they live in. I've always written and sketched incessantly, and gaming has become my chief inspiration. Whether it be a fanart from a video game or a tale of my own creation, behind every character I draw is a detailed, rich history or narrative.

Having originally been an ink artist, I've always been drawn to the sharp lines, crunchy shapes and bold colours of graphic art, western comics and animation. However, as the years passed, the more I felt the limits of the medium and transitioned to become exclusively a digital artist.

I find that there are a lot of misconceptions with being a digital artist. Words pulled straight from science-fiction often come up in people's questions, such as generation, AI, or tracing, but my digital process does not differ all that much from my old, traditional one despite using a computer and tablet. All my art is entirely created from scratch and hand drawn by myself and myself alone. It starts with reference hunting, brainstorming, thumbnailing and, finally, proper sketching. Then I ink the piece just as I would with a pen, block in colour, airbrush the character for dimension as well as texture and add my signature, crunchy details. Many of my pieces take days to weeks to create, sometimes even a month or more, as I value every scrutinous detail, but in the end, it is always worth the struggle and emotional chaos. Upon seeing my work printed on paper, I feel a certain elation and fulfillment - that I created that - and that is the best feeling in the world.
