Comicartist and Illustrator from Berlin - she/her | I draw the comics Teen-Caro wanted to read. I'm also super normal about DnD and tieflings. https://vom-anfang.de https://choosecomic.de https://www.carolin-reich.de

Last minute shoutout - I'll attend the Animagic this very weekend! You can find me all three days downstairs in the Variohall - booth number 30. This will be my last big con (and the second to last overall) for quite a while - So I'll make it count and will bring most of my stuff!

June 2026 marks my ten year anniversary of being a self-employed artist - now I give up. Seriously. Today sucked big time. The car being just the cherry on top. I know there will come better times and I'll do everything in my power to turn the tides but I'd really could use some help now.

Textpost: Hi, I need your help.
I struggle to find the right words and I really hesitated to make this post, but long story short. I’m currently financial wise in a very dire situation. Today I got hit by a heavy bill I cannot pay on my own (car repairs and I do need the car for upcoming conventions in August) Also there soon will come up other expenses, I do not have the funds for anymore. 

Doddles of two cats in the bottom "The expenses Krümel... and Muffin"Textpost: How did this happen?
Lately conventions and sales didn’t work out as well, as I was used to (if I even got into) I lost a long term project at the beginning of the year, one day before it should actually start - which messed up my planning completely and I couldn’t replace it since then.
On top of that I have been on and off sick since early 2025 - making me unable to work fulltime … and draining my savings. Because next to being exhausting and hindering me to do my job, the now known reason was bad and needed treatment, but not that bad that you’d die off from - so… you pay everything by yourself :D At least I feel much better already - hurray. 
Textpost: What now?
I am in the process of retiring (or at least significantly shrinking down) my freelancing and am looking for an employed job, which can support me and my comic making. Something I do not want and can never give up.

However… It will be still until September before I have wrapped up all my current obligations and can make the switch and with these new bills I am so, so scared to pile up debts I don’t know how to get rid of again. It really terrifies me. (And regularly puts me in a panic freeze, making me unable to work again - doesn’t help either)

Textpost: 
So I am turning to you asking.
If you have the means to help and ever enjoyed my art or a story of mine. Can you help me?
Buy something in my Shop or Commission me. 
Maybe join my Patreon for longer time support to help stabilize me, until I figured out this situation.
If you can not - and I really do understand! I’d love a share. Everything helps.
Thank you.
Caro

Coverillustration of the webcomic "Choose - The Agony of Choice" by Carolin Reich.
A red tiefling, holding a bloody dagger looking astonished. Lizards crawling over him. Two dark hands coming from behind and resting on his shoulders. An eerie big eye flows behind him.
It has a overall very dark and eerie vibe. Muted colors.

Hey #portfolioday I'm Caro - Comicartist and Illustrator from Berlin. I am open for any comicrelated work: pencils, ink, color. But actually I'd love to do some covers or characterart for the book market. Check my portfolio at: www.carolin-reich.de/portfolio Let's chat: kontakt@carolin-reich.de

Coverillustration of "Choose - Die Qual der Wahl" www.choosecomic.de

A tiefling holding a bloody dagger, two different hands on his shoulders. A gloomy eye in the background. A lot of lizards squirming over his hands, neck and behind him.Characterart of a female warrior with a big sword standing on crystal.2000er inspired Fantasyillustration.
The cast of Vom Anfang heroically arranged around a crystal mountain.Characterart of a male couple. Tattooed tiefling lovely holding a pale man with long wavy hair from behind. Both smile.

Patreons saw it first. I am getting ready to lock in to continue VA7 - so I wanted to draw the girls and try out some things and this happened. Not much thought behind, just draw and suddenly there was a finished piece. Haha. Enjoyed it a lot and like the result. Hope you too! <3

Nocturne and Cosima from the Comic "Vom Anfang" standing back to back.
Both look a little sad, while Nocturne seems to just accept the situation, Cosima looks up still searchng for a way forward. 
A golden halo is behind them.
