About Grim

male | 11/29 (Sagittarius) | INTP | Poland

I'm Grim (or Aleksander, outside of the internet) and I'm a manga/horror artist from Poland. I mostly draw in digital media. Main theme of my art are my own characters and stories, usually in fantasy setting. I also like to draw fanarts from my favourite games and anime from time to time. I'm an occasional writer — I write a lot in my native language (Polish) but started my journey with writing in English just recently.I love telling stories, especially those dark and unusual. I'm particularly interested in creating tales about demons, death, afterlife and questioning what makes us human. Both my art and writing may contain topics considered mature or triggering so please, view my content with caution. I believe in freedom of expression and curating own internet experience by blocking/muting instead of trying to push censorship on artists.Outside of art, I'm interested in psychology, biology and Slavic mythology, and I'm a huge enthusiast of horror and crime stories. My favourite writers are H.P. Lovecraft, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. From time to time I like to play games and among my favourites are Bloodborne, Alice Madness Returns and NieR Automata. I'm also addicted to mobile game SINoALICE. Gretel best ~~waifu~~ husbando.

Artist FAQ

✝ What do you use for drawing?
I mainly draw in Paint Tool SAI and edit my art in Clip Studio Paint or Adobe Photoshop CS6; sometimes I also use Procreate. For drawing I use a screen tablet Wacom Cintiq 13HD or iPad Pro 11" (2nd generation).✝ How long have you been drawing?
I liked drawing since childhood! However I started thinking about art more seriously (as something more than doodles in notebooks) around high school. I draw in digital media since 2017.✝ Do you accept art commissions/trades/requests?
Art commissions — Overall yes but my commissions aren't always open. You can check current status in Commissions info.
Art trades — Sometimes. Usually I ask on social media if anybody would want to do an art trade with me, so keep an eye on my posts!
Art requests — I'm sorry but no.✝ How can I contact you regarding commissions?
Here you can find a list of my social media sites and other ways to contact me! I most frequently check my Twitter, Discord and E-mail.✝ What are your inspirations for character designs?
To be honest, everything can be my inspiration — music, books, movies, games... Ideas for characters either come to me or I try to think of a design based on a certain theme (e.g. steampunk, pastel goth).✝ Can I draw your OC(s)?
Yes, I'll be more than happy! I absolutely love fanarts!! This goes for cosplay, fanfiction and literally all media as well. I'm also fine with NSFW fanarts however I'd prefer to be asked first if I'm comfortable with a certain scene featuring my characters.✝ Can I repost your art?
I don't mind but you MUST credit me. I'd also appreciate if you tell me first where my art will be displayed.✝ Is Kamala your persona?
No. Kamala is my main OC at the moment. They're one of my favourite designs and I enjoy drawing them often. Kamala is dear to me as a character but they're not a representation of myself. In general I don't like making personas.✝ Is Kamala a girl or a boy?
Kamala's gender is a secret. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
