#Game Artist

[merrycrisis-if]

Update: Submissions/Applications closed

Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out. I'm really heartened by the level of support and enthusiasm (and talent!)

I am currently in the process contacting, discussing terms, and finalising artists that have been shortlisted based on samples and rates. If I have not gotten back to you, I will soon send you a message.

Submissions are now closed, and I am no longer looking through fresh applicants, unless you think there's something burning/transformative/super unique about your style / rates / terms that I should definitely look at.

Thank you!

Concept from 2021 canceled project

[painthorseblues]

Hi everyone!! I’m opening emergency commissions to help me continue to care for my disabled mother, myself, and our 3 dogs who are relying on me to make an income until I find stable work! If you do not wish to commission, please reblog so I can find a wider audience! Thank you! OFFERING: - $10 Doodles - $20 Quick-fire sketches - $40 Lined (Price may change based on if it's portrait/bust/full-body) - $60 Character designs (Anthro/furry welcome!) - $70 Pet portraits - $70 Full-fledged character illustrations

I need enough to get dog food and drinkable water plus some simple ramen to hold us over a few weeks! We are completely out of almost everything (completely out of drinkable water and dog food!!!) and due to a postal service mishap our foodstamp benefits were discontinued which has left us in a Very Bad Predicament. Anything helps, and I’d be very grateful for any commission sent my way! I’ll cap at 5 slots filled until completed and be working on these full-time until they’re done! Above are primary examples of my work, and below are examples of the tiers listed in order!

If interested in my work, please add me on Discord "painthorseblues", email me at painthorseblues@gmail.com or send me an ask/message on Tumblr! Thank you so much for reading and checking out my work! Any reblogs are heavily appreciated, my mom (+our dogs) and I thank you!
