Allow me to introduce myself

Hi! I'm Tessa Geniets, also known as Elysian by Night. Tez Art & Design evolved out of my passion for art and design. When I was young I used to draw a lot, I was a nightmare at school as any notebooks would be filled with my artworks. Although I been chasing many different careers, it was art I came back to time and time again. This resulted in following a graphic design education followed by many art-courses through different channels.

Tez Art & Design

Tez Art & Design is my official registered company name, but it covers three different projects:

• Commissions of any animal, creature, and character design.
• WaCD, known as Wildlife and Creature Design, a Facebook-based wildlife and creature design group, specifically meant to teach people more about wildlife and creatures.
• Elysian by Night, where I practice my artistic freedom on Patreon with character designs, creature designs, and (classy) NSFW work.

Of course, they all overlap with each other, if you like to learn more about these projects; read on!

Wildlife and Creature Design
This group is meant to educate anyone who's interested in wildlife and creature design in an effort to help everyone in the group improve their art and their knowledge about pets, wildlife, hybrids, and creature designs. Feel free to join, it's even interesting if you don't practice art!

Elysian by Night
EbN is an oddball, it's completely Patreon based, so will only work through a subscription. As mentioned before, I always take commissions, both character, and creature designs, but also classy NSFW is no problem for me either.  So don't think you need to subscribe to Patreon to commission me. Patreon is an outlet for me where I have almost 100% artistic freedom. There is little influence from my patrons, other than that they can vote on what subject will be drawn next. So if you like to support me and you like to receive cheap character and creature designs, this is your go-to, and I will be forever thankful for the artistic freedom your support would give me.
Some tiers are 100% SFW, others are mildly NSFW, expect to receive lineart for you to color yourself, process files, a human and creature/character version of said woman and more depending on what tier you choose.

The history of Tez Art & Design
In 2014 I started traditional art, which was triggered by the birth of my nephew. I meant to make an artwork with pro markers, but these lose their color quickly even though they are a premium product and were not well-suited for a big project like the Winnie the pooh scene I meant to make. This is when I picked up traditional painting with acrylics. In a matter of years, I made many artworks which I could exhibit in several companies.

In 2017 it was time for the next step, digital art and design were included. I would start making menus for restaurants, make company-presentations, billing documents, advertisements, and so on. This was also the year I started with digital art. It wasn't only fun to do, but it was also very practical for someone with limited time and space.
When I developed my skills in photoshop my personal slogan started to ring true: "The only things that have no place in imagination, are boundaries". A completely new world opened up to me, i was 32 and i finally knew what i wanted to do! And Tez Art & Design was born!
