I first hired María Jesús Gormaz in August 2017. For the past 14 months she worked on the character art for my project, almost daily, creating a total of 30+ sprites for 19 characters, several alternate costumes, and dozens of expressions. She came up with inspired character designs for new characters and faithfully reproduced the ones that had already been designed. I don't think I could have had a chance at finishing such an ambitious cast without her.

I cannot stress enough how professional and dedicated she is, often finishing sprites faster than I could draft commission outlines. Even though her turn around is fast, she cares about the quality of her work and takes pride in it. She was quick to respond to emails and had clear communication. She worked equally well with full creative control as she did when following highly specific instructions.

There is always a great deal of uncertainty for VN creators when it comes to finding that ideal artist that is high quality, fast, easy to work with, and reliable enough to see a long term project through. After a year of working with her, I can attest that she is indeed all of those things. I certainly look forward to working with her again in the future.
Thank you so much for your beautiful review! For me it was a delight to work in your project ^^ I'm really looking forward to see it finished soon!

María did a couple of sprites for me and I couldn't be happier with the result.
She did fast, high quality work, always kept me updated and was overall a pleasure to work with.
I'm looking forward to work with María again in the future.
