Anna Christenson
Artist | Professional | Digital Art
United States
Anna Christenson is an Illustrator and Concept Artist from Rochester, NY. She has works primarily in the hobby game and video game industries. Anna's work is often influenced by story, and the idea that in developing a fictional character's environment, motivations, and history, we are also forced to explore our own.

If you are interested in commissioning me for illustration or concept art work, please email me at achris.art@gmail.com
Interests
I think with the DD ([link]) it may be time for me to update the journal.  A HUGE thank you to `CreativeJenn for suggesting it, and `WillowXD for featuring it!  I really appreciate it you guys!  It's a great thing to wake up to, especially today when I was feeling extra unmotivated.

Also, thank you to everyone who leaves a comment, who favs my work, or watches me!  I'll try my best to answer any questions you may have.  If I'm unable to say thank you to each of you, please know that I really do appreciate that you for took the time to stop by my page and view my work.

Some news as well since my last post.

I recently was hired on as a temp Concept Artist for WB Games.  I'll be working from home with their Turbine studio, doing concept art for their games.  I've been there about a month so far and I love it.  Because I have a steady 8hr a day job at the moment, I'm planning on spending a lot of my time in the future doing some personal work and studies, and cutting back on the freelance work.

What does that means for potential clients? I'd still like to encourage you to contact me.  If I'm unavailable, I know a ton of other artists who I'd be happy to recommend you to.
edit: I've been giving this a lot of thought, and I've decided that for the next few months I will not be taking on work for any new clients.  I need to take the time to rediscover my own personal drive for making art (sounds corny, but it's true), and I have a lot of things I should practice that I keep putting off.

Also, my first published D&D work came out!  It's in the Book of Vile Darkness (the Player's Book part).  I am so excited to be part of it- it's like a childhood dream come true.  I've probably looked through it a million times.   There is a lot of great art in there.  It's probably worth buying for the art alone (though I wish I had more time to play D&D).

Lastly, I had my painting "Honeyhands" published in Exotique 7!  [link] You can check out their site here: [link]


I think this has been a good year for me.  I feel like my art has improved a ton, and I can only hope it does more so next year.  I hesitate to make a bunch of goals for the new year other than studying my butt off and improving my concept art portfolio, because I'm so unsure where this year will take me!

Best of wishes and have a Happy New Year!

I love your work! What is your stance on allowing people to use your art for personal use? I have a website for my gaming group, and I'd love to use some of your art on it. I don't make any money off the site, and I would obviously credit anything I use.

Thanks so much!

It's kind of a touchy issue- a lot of my work is for other clients, who in the contract only allow me to use work in my portfolio. So if you use that work it could potentially get you and me into trouble. I don't really mind the work being highlighted in a blog-like fashion (ie.. I found this work and its from X Game, or I like it and wanted to share), but I can't really condone its use for banners, illustrations, etc, as people make their money off of doing those things.
