Original Illustrations
Illustration has been hit harder by image generators than almost any other field, which makes a hand-made original matter more. The pieces here are physical artworks, made by illustrators who have been verified, and they exist in exactly one copy.

Illustrators are storytellers first. You'll see that in the way a whole situation gets packed into a single frame, in invented worlds, and in characters you feel you've met. Open any listing for its size, materials and the artist's notes. Payment is held in escrow until the piece reaches you.
Questions, answered
- Are these digital illustrations?
- Listings on PaintedByUs are physical, original pieces. You receive the actual artwork, not a file.
- How do you keep AI-generated work out?
- Every artist is verified before they can sell, and every listing is reviewed by a person before it goes live. AI-generated work isn't allowed on the site.
- Can I commission an illustrator?
- Some artists take commissions. Visit their profile or message them to ask.
