Frequently Asked Questions

Do you two work together?

Partially, yes! We are twin sisters and we make artworks separatley and together as a duo named RaiffiesArt (RaidesArt & LeffiesArt).

Do you accept commissions?

We are open to commercial commissions (book covers, storyboards, etc). Feel free to contact us and ask for our availability. Commissions for private use are occassionally open and will be mentioned here.

Do you have a shop?

Yes, we have an online store where you can find all of our prints. You can also visit us at conventions and buy art prints there.

Which frames do you use?

You can find links to the frames we use at conventions in our frame overview.

Do you use ai in your work?

No, we are strictly against the idea of replacing a creative craft through something artificial. We became illustrators because it’s the act of drawing that we loved in the first place! What we can’t walk around of however, is the presence of AI-images when researching for inspiration online. We take note of things we find inspiring about a generated image, but will never use said image to replace the act of drawing (sometimes, it’s sadly hard to tell what’s generated or not).

What does your process look like?

We both use different techniques to achieve other textures in our works. You can find time-lapses on our YouTube channels where our process is sped-up:

Leffie’s time-lapses (YouTube)
Raide’s time-lapses (YouTube)

Additionally, Raide has an online Domestika Course where she explains her process in detail.

What program do you use?

We have mainly used ArtRage since we started digital art in 2010. There are free learning materials on our website where we explain our brushes / settings. You can try a demo version of the program for free.

How did you start digitial art?

We drew with a mouse for the first 3 years until we received drawing tablets in 2013. 7 years later we moved on to display tablets, which are monitors that you can directly draw on.

Do you accept requests?

We cannot accept requests anymore. Sometimes we may accept little ones on our Instagram stories – keep out a look for those!

What do you use to animate?

Leffie currently uses TV Paint 11.5 Professional. However, she started with a free alternative by using her regular drawing program and a GIF maker to create short animations.

May I repost your work?

We prefer people to not repost on sites we are on ourselves – like Instagram, Twitter or Tumblr. Please use share features to reblog our work instead! We know people will repost regardless, so we kindly ask everyone to at the least provide credit. If you have a special inquiry on reposts feel free to leave us a message.
