Commission for Reefwalker on Discord!

[buttercuparry]

Siraj's campaign is stagnating!! At $25,435 CAD and with the collection of only $280 CAD in 10 hours we are far behind the schedule if we want to collect 30k within this week!

Siraj does not have time. Yes, it is true that he is not evacuating but you do realize that, this puts him in more of a danger right?? Anything can happen to him at any moment! In fact let this be a reminder that he can only get online after travelling 3km everyday to reach an Internet point, where he can access a hotspot connection in exchange of exorbitant amount of money.

His daily route puts him in the way of scrutiny of occupation forces. And Siraj has said that there already have been shellings and death on that route.

This fundraiser has been set up, so that Siraj can start rebuilding his home. This is his dream, and in Gaza where we all know that there is no safety, the peace of a steady campaign is all Siraj has!

Once again I remind you that being in Gaza is dangerous! Gazans cannot afford endless time. Anyone can be targeted at any moment. Every second during which a campaign stagnates, it pushes the end goal farther away and anything can happen in this the time!! What use an unfinished campaign will be for Siraj, if something happens to him? Who will fulfill his promise to his family?

Siraj's son is currently sick. He cannot campaign like he has been for past however many months. Everyday is a struggle for Siraj- everyday life in Gaza is becoming more and more expensive due to an engineered scarcity! Everyday Siraj tries his best to race against time to collect the funds that would help him rebuild.

Siraj does not want to leave Gaza. He wants to survive and rebuild! Please do not let this campaign stagnate anymore than it already has!!

If it is incentive you want, then I can tell you there are 2 art commissions going on for Siraj.

1. @sheplaysbassdotmp3 is doing art commissions for every $10 CAD donated to Siraj. Any character/ship sketches of your choice- barring nsfw. Please check out her pinned for more details.

If you are into music, then she also has her beautiful drawings of artists like Chappell Roan!

2. @imjustheretotrytohelp also has opened art commissions for Siraj. You will get half body sketches if you donate $15 and bust sketches for $9. Characters, OC, fanarts- barring nsfw. Check out her pin for more details, about the commissions.

Both of these artists are trying their best to help! Please do your part too. Boost and Donate! There has been very very little donations as compared to the posts going around for Siraj. This cannot happen!! We need to reach 30k by this week!!

[titan-god-helios]

hello all !!!

i'm happy to announce that i'll be doing commissions for palestine in the same way that lots of other creators have !! you donate the minimum amount detailed below to a palestinian fundraiser (either individual or an organisation like unrwa) for the type of art you want, provide proof of donation to me, and i'll draw for you !!

please note that the art will be limited to bust shots of characters, as i am pricing it lower than i would a regular commission to ensure as many people as possible are able to donate for some art.

if you aren't able to donate the minimum amounts i've listed under my art after the "keep reading", you're free to donate however much you want, still providing proof of donation to me, and i can doodle something for you (same detail as the little guy in the image above).

if you can't donate, please reblog this post !!! it would help lots :3

WHAT I WILL DRAW: - furries - artistic nudity (nothing sexual however. i am a minor. keep that in mind please) - slight gore - fanart - pretty much anything apart from what i won't draw tbh

WHAT I WON'T DRAW: - mecha - backgrounds beyond geometric shapes and colours - sexual nsfw or very gory art - guns (unless provided with a reference of what you want) - actual animals

please note that i reserve all rights to post and share any art i make, although commissioners of that art will not be named if i post the piece.

again, note that the donations must be made and proved before i start work on the art. for pieces where i keep some of the proceeds (explained below the keep reading), half of the overall payment must be given upfront before i start work.

for pieces with lineart and colours i will send progress pictures of the sketches to you for approval, or to make any changes necessary, before i move forward with the piece.

i will not accept any commissions with a deadline of less than a month (for bigger pieces with either lineart, colours and shading or more than one character, i will need at least a period of 2 months due to schoolwork and other commitments of mine taking up time), i will accept a maximum of 5 commissions per month, and i reserve the right to refuse commissions if i am not comfortable with completing them.

rough sketch - £10

lineart - £15

lineart and flat colours - £25

---

if you want a piece with more detail or that is full body, i will be keeping part of the proceeds, but will still donate half of the overall payment to a palestinian fundraiser, which i will provide proof of for you. my prices for these are:

rough sketch (same quality as the sketches above, albeit full body and/or with two characters) - £20

lineart (again with full body and/or two characters) - £30

lineart and flat colours (full body and/or two characters) - £50

lineart, coloured WITH shading (full body, one character (examples below) - £70

please note that for every character added after what is specified above, £15 will be added to the base price.

i'll have my commission slot status in my bio !!

have a lovely day, free palestine !!!!!

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST

EMERGENCY COMMISIONS || PLEASE CONSIDER HELPING ME

PLEASE DONT SCROLL

This is me - Carl or Ray! And I REALLY need to move out of my place of residence as soon as possible. The reason of the emergency is that I need to get out of a toxic environment ASAP The big problem is my mother, who is NOT mentally stable. She treats me very ambivalently: at first good, then suddenly horrible. She threatens me with violence, and plays on my emotions and mental health. She is often transphobic towards me, doesn't value my opinion at all, and if I don't agree with her, she starts a scandal and threatens me.

She doesn't care that I'm haunted by suicidal thoughts, saying that it's my own fault and that I would finally LEAVE THE WORLD, and then she abruptly changes her position, deceiving me with words, saying that:

"I just ACCIDENTALLY said it, it wasn't what I meant"

And then again it loops in a circle: scandals, threats and, that I just misunderstood it all and that it was my own fault. She is trying her best to keep me in her house, telling me I can't go anywhere because I'm not capable of doing anything.

My mom said herself that despite the psychologist's recommendation to go to sessions too, she says she doesn't have time and she's old, she just has such nerves and it's NOT a bad thing.

She's not a very b*stard. I live in a warm place and have everything, but her mentally is not stable. Accusations, threats of violence that she will start the same way she did when she was a child and verbal abuse towards me. All her negativity towards me, I am not going to take it anymore, I have enough frayed nerves and tears as it is. I don't feel safe in this house. I don't want it to continue..

…. It hurts to be around her anymore, so I need your help to move out of this place.

So, I open commissions to get enough money so I can pay for tickets, luggage and move out! And also, to have enough money to get by.

‼️‼️HELP A HOMELESS ARTIST (EMERGENCY COMMS OPEN)‼️‼️

Reblogs are also greatly appreciated!! :)

Making a new post since things are getting really bad again and we're in desperate need of help at the moment. For those who don't know me, you can call me Link (he/him), I'm a homeless artist and since November 2021 my family and I (father and younger sibling) have been homeless and living out of a motel. Since we don't have any family or friend support, or a way to get a job at the moment, I've been doing commissions to try and keep us fed and housed until something changes. I'll put some receipts below.

Ever since the rents been raised here, it's been a bit troublesome trying to cover things day by day, which we rarely can do. Even food is something that we can't afford sometimes. Right now, we're in that sort of state. So far, we haven't been able to cover the room for two days and getting food has been very difficult for us due to the lack of work. We owe 200$ for the room tomorrow (rent is 65$ a day). While the people here are nice and give us extensions with time and such, we were told if we can't pay tomorrow then we would be kicked out. We have nowhere to go if that happens, no family or friends we can stay with.

So, I'm opening commissions to try and stop that from happening. I'll put some examples and prices below. I mainly draw fantasy oriented stuff such as DnD, Dragon Age, Baldurs Gate, etc. but I can do OCS of any genre/variety. My turn around time is varied depending on the commission and our living situation since it's very unpredictable. For smaller commissions, I take around two weeks. And for bigger ones it could take up to two weeks to a month. Again that could vary. I don't do heavy gore, anything weird or NSFW (I've never drawn it so I'm not confident in selling it). Also, refunds cannot be given. If there's anything that needs to be changed about a commission, I will do it free of charge but refunds are something we can't do due to us needing to use the funds immediately. Either for food or the room.

Please, if anyone could share this or help us out, my family and I would very much appreciate it. Thank you. :")

[frodo-with-glasses]

COMMISSIONS OPEN!!

Heya! Wanna throw money at me to make me draw something?? Well, for just $20 an hour, now you can!

Read below for price estimates and FAQs, and if you’re interested, please email me at FigTreeIllustrationsLLC@gmail.com to get started!

PRICING INFO

Because I’m too lazy to come up with complicated price structures, I’ll just be charging a flat rate of $20/hour for any work I do on the art piece. The clock starts when I pick up the pencil or digital stylus and ends when I put it down.

This does mean that prices will vary, depending on how time-consuming each art piece is, but I can give you some rough estimates.

Upper Body Sketch: Approx. 30 min = $10 for one

It takes me about half an hour to draw a bust or upper body sketch. This time can be shortened if I’m already familiar with the character design, or lengthened if I’m drawing an unfamiliar character or doing some weird perspective stuff.

Every additional figure would probably take another half an hour, adding about $10 each.

Full-Body Sketch: Approx. 1 hour = $20 for one

Drawing an entire figure is a little harder than just drawing the upper body, so this one might take longer. Again, this time can be shortened or lengthened depending on my familiarity with the character, how complex the design is, and whether I’m doing any complicated posing or perspective.

Adding additional figures can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour, adding $10-$20 each.

Animals: Approx. 1.5 hrs = $30 for one

Animals are not my strong suit, though I have gotten better at drawing them over time! However, the extra time studying reference photos and trying to get the anatomy correct can stack up quickly, so you’ll want to be aware of that if you’re commissioning something with an animal involved.

Posters: Minumum 3 hrs = approx. $60

Posters take a little extra time—and usually some trial and error—to plan the layout in a dynamic way. They also take up an entire sketchbook page and tend to include multiple people and some extreme perspective to add visual appeal. You can expect a poster to take about three hours minimum to complete.

Multi-Panel Comics: Minimum 4 hrs a page = $80

Drawing a comic big enough to cover an entire sketchbook page can take me anywhere from 4 to 6 hours of work. If drawing a long-form comic, I will probably divide the work over several days. Brainstorming will happen on the first day, when I’ll plan out how many panels I’ll need for the comic, and then I’ll get in contact with you to tell you an estimated price before I proceed.

Digital Coloring: Minimum 1.5 hrs = add approx. $30

Coloring things digitally takes about double the time it would to sketch; I’ve noticed it takes around two hours to color a simple image, with another hour added for each figure involved. This first image took me about an hour and a half to outline and color, while the second took about five hours.

Add to Redbubble Shop: Subject to Redbubble Pricing

If your commissioned artwork is Lord of the Rings-related, I can put it into my Redbubble shop, where you can have it printed on stickers, t-shirts, journals, mugs, and lots of other products! I won’t charge any extra fee, but you will have to pay whatever price Redbubble asks. Full disclosure: I receive only 10% of the profit from Redbubble sales; the rest goes to the website to cover manufacturing and shipping costs.

ok so a few days back I accidentally stumbled into a twt thread where someone was talking about how their whole static commissioned this artist who was advertising in game to "draw any character as a shrimp" and it was like 1AM and they were very affordable commissions and I had a stressful week so obviously I clicked that buy button and now I have this incredible masterpiece, 10/10 would do again in a heartbeat.

Artist: @art_wana | https://shrimpification.carrd.co/

[olympeparpaing]

Making a post because god is she pissing me off but i would highly suggest you stay clear of this person

This is loana. Ive hung out with her for about 10 months and shes genuinely weird. Keeps asking for people to draw her « waifus and husbanos » (literally harassing a few people because of that) and resorts to commissioning as many « cheap » artists as possible when that didn’t work. She also has a habit of guilt tripping people (sent a video of herself bleeding after a car crash to a bunch of people that she was already bothering with her art requests) and ranting about the same « drama » over and over again.

She was also weird to me. She drew one of her ocs sexually harassing one of mine (sounds insane i know) multiple times back around may and is now mentioning that incident over and over again to show that she feels bad about what she did. I honestly don’t trust her and anything that she does id highly recommend block her and NOT taking requests/art trades/commissions from her

WHAT R UR FAVORITE HEADCANONS FOR THE TURTLESSS

OHMYGOD im gonna be yapping 1.-Autistic Raph : I rlly like this headcanon, it might not be as popular as the donnie/Leo autism headcanons, but I like it! since autism it's a whole spectrum and donnie is the one with that types of headcanon's specifically , in 2012 for example, I feel like raph would be a strangely raw and nice representation (IM NOT AUTISTIC! don't take my word as someone who has gone through it) like, he doesn't like his space being invaded, he get's mad at people crossing his boundaries, and it's overall nice! tottmnt raph makes the autism headcanon more seen and I LOVE IT 2.-Trans masc Rise Leo: im not a huge Rise Leo fan , but I sure do like these head canons >_< 3.- tottmnt donnie's gacha life phase : I SAW THIS ONE AT ONE OF MY MUTUAL'S REBLOGS AND UGHHHH I LOVE IT (Raph voice acting the alpha wolfs is so real) 4.- raph being artistically gifted is so real (Except 2018 probably..) 5.-LEO (2012) SNEAKS OUT AND STAR GAZES ..IT'S REAL PLS TRUST ME 6.- Mikey forgetting he's allergic to things and eating them anyway 7.- the turtles all chose their own birthdays! no matter the iteration, they all tried getting a special day for themselves besides the mutation day 8.- DONNIE AND RAPH ARE TWINS!!! I feel like they give off this middle child energy that cause chaos and destruction, raph does the actions, donnie the planning 9.-back 2 don n Raph, since they r twins, I feel like they share their birthday day, like..Donnie's "birthday" is the whole morning till 2 PM and Raph's birthday starts from 2 PM till night, they split their day so they both can celebrate separately (my personal headcanon!!) 10.-Mikey likes having background noise ALL THE TIME, from white noise, to some random YouTube video, like kitchen nightmares or something 11.- mikey is the only one legally allowed to touch the oven 12.- 2012 Raph takes commissions on the interned to give his brother's money n get them gifts (the amount of furry/art commission's he's gotten is insane, and he's proud of that fact) 13.-Leo say's the name of every single brother, BUT the one he's actually trying to talk to/yell to 14.-Donnie calls the X-treme straps "Gay bacon" 15.- which are actually Mikey's favortie candy.. 16.-they do the turtle pile at least once a month, just cuz..why not? 17.- Raph is a BIG fa of anything art related, show him an animation/art piece/ song, and he will overanalyze it as if he was the ultimate art master!

18.- they all wake up to play Minecraft in the middle of the night 19.- Raph listens to scenemo music, Leo likes Dana del Rey/more chill music, donnie listens to some underground artist OR 0 music at all, mikey likes pop/hip hop music! 20.- they r always fighting and changing the music whenever they go on the turtle van/whatever the cars called...first mikey puts something on..Leo changes it, raph changes it again out of spite for Leo, and donnie just sits there, asking why he was obligated to go through such tortures

thank u so much for the ask anon!!!!!

[roleplayhonestybox]

Just had the weirdest experience ever of my RPing career.

Dude I’ve been writing with for a long time, probably the better part of half-a-year, just sent me a zip file. Inside of it, it contained one document and then a folder. The document said READMEFIRST, so I did. He also reiterated when he sent it to me to read the doc first.

Let me preface that this guy has been nothing but a gentleman for the entire half year I’ve known him. We’ve vibed together since day one. We’ve never shared photos of one another. He’s literally been my best friend and best RP partner for the span of time. Our writing styles work so well together and I just. I really thought he was awesome. And now, I’m just sort of broken and at a loss as to what I should do.

The document I opened started with a single-typed page. He essentially went into detail saying this was a half-year anniversary gift. I couldn’t remember for the life of me the day that we met, but he remembered, which I thought was shocking. He said that he’d been collecting these for a long time as sort of like a memento/gift of our time together, which I thought was so super cute. I literally thought this man was rizzing me.

He went on about how he loves how open I am, how we mesh, great partner, blah blah blah. All the usual stuff. Says how excited he is for the next six months, and hopes I enjoy.

I open the next folder, and it contains another document and 134 images.

I have my settings to where my image icons are set to small so I just see the file and the name, so I didn’t see the images immediately, but they were numbered 1-134. So, I go to open the document. My brain was on overdrive by this point. I thought he somehow was commissioning people for artwork of our characters (he told me he’s loaded prior and loves to support artists), and I was just so excited.

Open the document. And it’s just. Pages and pages and pages of detailed descriptions of him LITERALLY. GETTING OFF.

It would be, like: “[date it happened] 1. [roleplay excerpt of mine]” and then it would go into gratuitous detail of how his orgasm felt, what he was thinking of, and imagining me as my OC in that instance, and then rate it out of 10.

I only skimmed, but I caught sight of him sometimes going back to previous passages that he denoted as his “favourites”. So he’d go into detail about how different or better it felt.

I thanked the good Lord above that I had my image files small because that meant that I had over 100 unsolicited dick pics (including…him finishing) sent to me immediately. I didn’t open a single file to check and see if it’s not just an elaborate prank because this happened probably an hour ago and I don’t know what to do.

He messaged me about 20 minutes after I said I was unzipping the file and basically said: “Well, what do you think?”

I honestly don’t know what to think. I haven’t said anything back to him, and he hasn’t messaged me, again. I don’t know what to do, either. I really love what we have and our characters. If he would have told me he liked me, I may have felt flattered and maybe beige flags but still, like…he has never once said or done anything out of line. He’s been so patient and great and just. I am literally sitting here in shock.

I even cried a little bit because I just feel?? Extremely violated?? And it’s just so out there and strange and I don’t know what to do. I just needed somewhere to vent. I feel like I have to block him, but now I’m wondering it he’s capable of anything else? I use a VPN and haven’t given him any information that could dox me. And, also thank God that I use a separate account to RP with.

Should I just ghost him? Should I confront him? Should I just block? Should I change my RP account completely? Has this happened to anyone else before? 😭 If anyone has any advice, I will surely take it…

BLOCK HIM. REPORT HIM.

I wouldn’t confront. I would remove yourself entirely from that situation and prioritise your safety.

Please anybody add advice. The mods here are more than happy to try and help the anon if they want to contact us in DMs.

[flam-kish]

We're reaching a point where Anti-AI people are becoming more annoying than the Pro-AI bros. Personally, I'd rather draw something than use AI, but some people just see the word "AI" and pretense of being a decent human being leaves their body.

AI is only a product of the real issue, capitalism and how since forever, automation and the idea of removing human workers for the sake of expediency has always been a thing. That's the real problem here. Going after a person because they used AI for a thumbnail, a comic, or made some Family Guy AI song doesn't achieve anything except making you look like an asshole. You want to protect artists? Go to companies and organizations and make an actual effort to make sure AI trained compositions are ethical. Why not do something to make sure that voice actors are paid and/or compensated if they consent to their voices being used? Why not try to encourage more people to draw without it turning into something rude and giving useful advice? The answer is they won't do any of this, because it's all reactionary. The real reason the everyman uses AI is because it's convenient, not because they hate artists or want to replace them. I'm sure there are outliers like that, but people like that exist in everything. The price of living is getting higher and people are broke. Why would someone commission a $50 dollar drawing or sub to a Patreon when they can get an AI composition for $10 maximum? I get it, artists have to eat too, but the issue with AI is rooted deeply into our society and how much we rely on products being cheaper/convenient to use.

The unfortunate truth is that society does not value artists very much, despite how many we have. Animators are infamously underpaid. Being an artist isn't sustainable, and banning AI won't make it so, because again, the issue is with society, mainly capitalistic ones itself. Making copyright stricter doesn't help the average man, but companies like Disney. If you want to quit art because you feel discouraged by AI, maybe the issue is a lack of internal motivation. Society doesn't give art meaning, you do. It's okay to walk away from things for a bit, or even to quit.

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

WIBTA for not wanting to work with an artist again after they refused to fix their own mistake and also if I break their terms of service because of this?

I (32nb)have an original character who is a pretty simple girl. She has long brown hair, blue eyes nothing overly detailed. The only thing that makes her stand out at all is a single marking on her cheek of a single short blue line, and a second right beside it.

I commissioned an artist (older than me nb) to draw her. I paid 35 united states dollars for a bust and an extra 16 dollar fee for the art to not be posted to the artists socialis. I also tipped 30% and was patient with the long queue. (I waited about 10 weeks for the piece)

They did not send me a wip after the pose sketch and when I received the finished piece they had forgotten the marking on her cheek which is clearly marked on her reference image. Due to the artists style (simple and toony) and the lack of shading in the piece all the artist would have to do is add the line on top of the layers.

When I asked the artist to correct their error they refused, and lied saying that they had already finished and exported the piece so they couldn't go back and edit it.

I am also considering adding the lines myself because I dumped over fifty dollars on it for it to not even be what I paid for, the problem is that their TOS forbids editing their work. I'm not worried about being blacklisted since I don't want to work with them it's more the concern of morality.

What are these acronyms?
