Fundamental “x hair and y” archetypes:

Blue hair and pronouns

Purple hair and intimacy issues

Green hair and unfathomable violence

✦ opening up art commissions ✦

vvv details below vvv

so here's me, putting myself out there. let's see how this goes.

Since I'm just starting down this path, my list of things I'll do will be short (for now). Here's what I'm cool with and not cool with:

Full color bust portraits of characters (portions of the chest, shoulders and up) is pretty much all I'm comfortable doing for other people at this point.

OCs are totally fine! I love them!

Not yet super comfortable doing crazy complex facial expressions or wild backgrounds

Nothing with a lot of fur (scales are okay I think...?)

I've pretty much just done star wars art but I'm open to fantasy type stuff like Baldur's Gate too

Honestly just message me if you have questions, there's so many different kinds of characters out there with a wide variety of appearances

Starting things out at $10.00, one flat rate since it's all going to be headshots with color.

For now, it's just PayPal. However, I'm willing to look into other means of payment if people end up wanting it.

Before payment, I will first send you an undetailed screenshot with no highlights or shadows but with enough features that you can say yay or nay. If you like it, then we proceed. If not, no worries at all :)

At the end of the day, it is at my discretion if I choose to do a piece or not (no crying!)

So yeah. Tell your friends?

Here's some more of my pieces and a link to my side blog where I reblog my art. The posts over there are not in chronological order, so some things may be a bit old and my style has since changed. Everything below is pretty recent.

(lastly, if you're still here, the first three people to comment on the original post get a free (public) commission, if they want it. just another way to practice and get a feel for how this stuff works)

OKAY SO, my game finally updated-- it took more than an hour which is frankly, forever, with the internet speeds I've been accustomed to in the most recent years but that's beside the point. but new update, usually I don't pay much attention beyond checking if my bugs got fixed and reading through the patch notes-- I read that they are planning to update Hutta to match the new areas but-- I didn't expect THIS

this is just base game locations. LOOK AT THEM. it's not chock-full of yellow clouds anymore, polluted true but GODDAMN. also look at that comparison shot from the starting BH cutscene--

do i need to say more? if this is what Broadsword is going to do with locations we know and love? i am so on board.

[swtorcompanionsgoofin]

Au on the 2nd one but that's how long I draw his hair now anyways so djsjsjdjdd.

process of drawing an OC: - you design them - you get attached to them - their hair gets bigger without you realizing it

Good Traits Gone Bad

Exploring good traits gone bad in a novel can add depth and complexity to your characters. Here are a few examples of good traits that can take a negative turn:

1. Empathy turning into manipulation: A character with a strong sense of empathy may use it to manipulate others' emotions and gain an advantage.

2. Confidence becoming arrogance: Excessive confidence can lead to arrogance, where a character belittles others and dismisses their opinions.

3. Ambition turning into obsession: A character's ambition can transform into an unhealthy obsession, causing them to prioritize success at any cost, including sacrificing relationships and moral values.

4. Loyalty becoming blind devotion: Initially loyal, a character may become blindly devoted to a cause or person, disregarding their own well-being and critical thinking.

5. Courage turning into recklessness: A character's courage can morph into reckless behavior, endangering themselves and others due to an overestimation of their abilities.

6. Determination becoming stubbornness: Excessive determination can lead to stubbornness, where a character refuses to consider alternative perspectives or change their course of action, even when it's detrimental.

7. Optimism becoming naivety: Unwavering optimism can transform into naivety, causing a character to overlook dangers or be easily deceived.

8. Protectiveness turning into possessiveness: A character's protective nature can evolve into possessiveness, where they become overly controlling and jealous in relationships.

9. Altruism becoming self-neglect: A character's selflessness may lead to neglecting their own needs and well-being, to the point of self-sacrifice and burnout.

10. Honesty becoming brutal bluntness: A character's commitment to honesty can turn into brutal bluntness, hurting others with harsh and tactless remarks.

These examples demonstrate how even admirable traits can have negative consequences when taken to extremes or used improperly. By exploring the complexities of these traits, you can create compelling and multi-dimensional characters in your novel.

Happy writing!

I am bringing a humble offering of Z in his new armor, he got it a while back after I agonized over dyeing it for several days, and then promptly forgot him to do other things. He needs more attention.

[swtorcompanionsgoofin]

LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT HOW FUCKING PRETTY HE IS. A H. I SCREAM. I SCREAM SO SO MUCH I LOVE HIM AND I LOVE WHAT YOU'VE DONE AND A AA A A A A A A 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I FULL OF HAPPY LOVE TEARS AHHHH.

I was SWTOR-ing with @elaphaemourra and they put the Lando Calrissian bell bottoms on their toon, and Disco Skaia was born.

so naturally I was seized by an immediate and compelling need to draw Disco Skaia. It was an adventure trying to find a middle ground between 70s aesthetics and Skaia's decidedly un-70s color scheme but I prevailed, more or less.

Some of my favorite magic side effects:

-Nosebleeds. Never gets old.

-Coughing up blood. The good ol’ “cough into your hand and pull it back to see blood” also never gets old.

-Headaches. You keep fighting as your head pounds, desperately telling you to take a break. At first they fade within minutes when you stop using magic, but overtime, they become chronic.

-Fatigue. After a big battle, you stand triumphant, and then just fall asleep on the spot.

-In a similar vein, overuse causing you to straight up faint rather than just fall asleep. Darkness begins to overtake your vision in the middle of battle, unconsciousness abruptly looming over you.

-Any of the side effects happening to another person. Maybe two close characters are connected, and whatever side effects character A would normally endure are transferred to character B. When A uses a blast of magic B screams loudly because holy shit that hurt.

-Magic gradually deteriorating your mind. Using it too much eventually caused hallucinations and an inability to retain memories, or even larger scale memory loss. 

Feel free to add more, I’m looking for some to steal
