Moonstone Ghosts
About
My name is Jonathan D.W.S. Ross. I am a multidisciplinary artist living as a guest in the unceded traditional territories of the Lekwungen people of the Songhees nation, though I was born and raised among the Dane-zaa people and in their lands.Being a broad generalist and eclectic artist I find it hard to categorize myself and my art, but simply put I am an illustrator, photographer, and painter. Much of my work delves into traditional mediums like watercolour, gouache, pencil and ink drawing, and film photography, as well as more contemporary mediums such as digital illustration via Procreate and Photoshop, pixel art, digital cartography, digital photography, and digital manipulation.My main focus is typically character art and dark art though I love to branch out in various directions and explore areas such as album cover art, comics, portraits of people and pets, mixed media, and animation. I am an avid explorer of various styles of art and illustration.This life and world has far too much to offer a simple artist who is not content to sit and try only one of the myriad options available.

The client may either choose one sketch to be completed, select features of multiple sketches to be combined into a new sketch, or request a modification of an existing feature. The artist may waive the initial fee at their discretion.2) When the sketch has been completed to the satisfaction of the client 50% of the total fee is to be paid. Upon receipt of the payment work will begin on the final artwork. Progress updates will be provided at a minimum of two (2) intervals during the process, typically with the completion of the lineart and completion of colouring. The client may request minor to moderate changes at these points, however a major change may require renegotiation of the timeframe and fee and further alteration requests beyond these are subject to further fees of up to 25% of the total fee depending on the scale and scope of the requested changes.3) When work on the final artwork is complete a low resolution version will be e-mailed to the client for final approval.

Ownership of the copyright as well as the right to use the artwork for promotional purposes remains with the artist unless ownership transfer is agreed upon for use in commercial purposes. Any personal use artwork used in a commercial use manner is subject to the fines and fees laid out in the Terms of Service.5) All payments of fees are considered non-refundable.
