Will you accept rush commissions?
Unfortunately no. My job is pretty busy and it introduces quite a lot of uncertainty in my schedule and I wouldn't know my avaibility in any given moment.

T&Cs

I only accept commissions through my mail, Discord or Twitter. Nowhere else.
This is to make sure that all requests go to one place and I can check all of them at once without missing any commissions. It's also easier for me to stay in contact with the client.

Payment can be done in full or half of the base price upfont.
This helps avoid the situation of the clients not paying for my work after I hand them in, and also helps avoid the situation of me taking the money and run away with it. If you chose to pay half upfront, the remaining half will be paid once I have handed in the final work to the client.

The payment will NOT be refunded if the order is cancelled before completion.Payments are to be made using ONLY PayPal or Touch 'n Go E-Wallet (for Malaysia clients).

I remain the rights to reject any commissions if I don't feel comfortable working with it.
This is to ensure my integrity as a designer, and also help maintain the quality of my design handed out to my clients.
This applies to any NSFW media or works that may include explicit content/media such as nudity, violence and blood/gore etc.
I remain the rights to share the work on my portfolio and social media unless the client has made mutual agreements to not share the work publicly. I could be signing an NDA if required,

!! MOST IMPORTANTLY !!
DO NOT USE ANY OF MY WORK FOR AI TRAINING, AND YOU ARE IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM SUPPORT AI GENERATED ARTWORKS. If you do, please do not ever contact me for anything graphic related, you will not be entertained.
I will also have the rights to immediately terminate any works on hand and pull out any work that I've done for said project if I found out you use my work for any form of training or alteration through generative AI.

about me

Zeth Lim // 傑 (they/he, nonbinary)
"be inspired, and be the one who inspires."
I am a game development graduate in APU, and a (mostly) self-taught graphic generalist, with knowledge in primarily graphic design, but also dabbles in 3D and motion graphics. I have previously worked on numerous graphic design projects, with strengths in poster / album cover design. Professionally, I am a designer within a marketing agency, specializing in social media design that generates leads and awareness for brands. With my passion rooted in anything visual, my aspiration is to create visuals that would inspire others in the future. Oh, and I enjoys coffee a lot.My works are an amalgamation of 2000s graphic design styles (vectorheart/metalheart) and Japanese graphic design culture, specifically rhythm games and independent music circles.Some of my notable works include:
- Various design for osu! World Cups, an internationally recognized rhythm game that hosts large-scale tournaments and collaborates with musicians from around the world to produce original songs and accompanying visual content
- Various digital/physical album design, including releases on platforms such as Spotify, Soundcloud, and physical media such as CD jewel cases. Physical albums have been sold on Japanese online doujin music platforms such as Diverse Direct and TANO*C Store, as well as physical store such as AKIBA HOBBY.
More details of my work in the past can be seen in here.
TOOLS
- Adobe Photoshop - main workhouse, both raster and vector
- Adobe After Effects - main motion graphics tool
- Adobe Premiere Pro - assist in motion graphics
- Blender - main 3D software, assist in motion graphics
