— a/n ┊ANON U ARE SOOOOAURRE SMART. i loved this ask a little TEWWWW much that i decided 2 make a small fic out of it >:) THANK U 4 SENDING ME THIS… YUMMERS. (also… it’s been so long so i’m sorry 4 the VERY late response this is insane)

it’s no doubt that you were blade’s favourite customer, of course! you were his girlfriend! but yet, it shows in his works and the way he treats you. he can’t help it, really.. who wouldn’t be fond of someone as pretty as you? your body was delicate—it was worth worshipping in his eyes, it’s safe to say that it’s hard for him not to lose control. your perfect body was a sight to behold, blessing his eyes with newfound lust and pride. as he leaned in, his hands released your thighs as he dropped to his knees before you, his dark gaze burning with desire as he yanked your sundress up, baring you completely. blade admired his past work, absorbing the beauty of the tattoo on your breast, his initials over your womb, and his name over your thigh. “hmph. take those panties off and lift your skirt up more. i can't be doing this with your clothes on.” blade instructed, his brows furrowed as he pulled you towards his face. “don’t be shy now. it’ll be better to mark you as mine this way.” he bowed his head forward, his tongue flicking against your clit, the sensation sending shockwaves through your body.

"bladie!” you cried out in pleasure, hands fisting in his long dark hair. your boyfriend lapped at your drenched cunt, sparing no mercy as he drove you to the edge.. your back arching off the chair. the scent of his dominance and need fills the air, the heat between you both was thick and palpable. blade’s hand drifts to the side of your thigh, his thumb brushing over your skin through your dress. he growled against your pussy, the sound low and demanding. your face scrunched at the sounds of slurping and sucking from below; your hips arching to meet his tongue. “good.. so good.” blade suckled on your swollen folds like a starved man, feeling it pulse beneath his lips. he could sense the heat radiating from your core, making his own desire grow even stronger. his wet muscle flicked and circled, your moans growing louder and more desperate with each stroke.. it would be unfortunate if another customer walked in on this.

“pretty." he whispered, a wicked expression spreading across his face. and with that, he dove back in, his tongue plunging deep within you. his thumb toyed with your bud, the sensitive nub pulsing in response to his touch. letting out a rough guttural moan, his hands released your thigh to caress the tattoo on your womb, admiring his work once more as the ache in his groin grew more intense with each passing second. “mine.. mine.” sweat glistened on your bodies as you moved together, the room filled with the sounds of your sounds of pleasure. blade was determined to make you feel every ounce of ecstasy and pride he had in his body. he wanted this, he wanted to claim you.. show just how—proud he is of his work.

“.. can you take my fingers?” he asked you suddenly, his voice muffled against your cunt. “these fingers that have worked tirelessly to show everyone you belong to me.” his words are a mix of semi-praise and tease, his fingers spreading your lips open, watching as the slickness coats his digits. he’s enjoying this, the control he has over your body, the way you respond to his touch. “these tattoos.. are staying here forever.” his finger slid inside, stretching you completely wide. he loved this part, making you helplessly needy for his touch. blade knew he could take your body to the edge and back, control you completely.. a slow, sensual invasion meant to calm your nerves and ground you in the here and now. his eyes locked on your face, gauging your reactions and facial expressions. fuck, he knew you hated this combination. you hated that stupid combination of his fingers and his tongue, knowing it’ll make you cum quicker than usual.

blade couldn't get enough of you. no matter how many times he’d touch you, draw tattoos on you, kissed you, it was never enough for him. he wanted more, and he demanded for more. he could cover your entire body up with tattoos for all he cares! his talented tongue delved deeper, flicking and teasing your heat mercilessly. blade absolutely delighted in making you squirm, taking pleasure in your moans and whimpers… you were overwhelmed with everything, especially when blade’s fingers slipped in and out so easily like this. it was almost impressive. he hummed appreciatively at your wetness, a testament to how much you craved his touch.

“so wet.” blade muttered against your pussy, his voice thick with lust. "every touch, every kiss, every orgasm, it all belongs to me. no one else gets to enjoy your sweet body like this.”

…

“especially with my name signed on your womb.”

Inked Doodles

Summary: Joost loves to draw on you, you love to surprise him.

WC: 1210

A/N: this was caused by this video lmao

Joost loved drawing, it became one of his favorite hobbies. It helped him calm down and relax whenever he was stressed.

He also had a tendency to use you as his canvas. Picking up a small habit of leaving little doodles on your skin.

If you were next to him and he had a pen or marker in his hand, you were at risk of a small doodle being left on your arm, hand, or even your legs sometimes.

The marks ranged from stars and smiley faces to full drawings. Dogs, cats, flowers music notes, a little figure of you or him. Anything he was thinking of at the moment.

It was cuter when he’d leave a small J right under the doodle, watermarking it as his.

Sitting on the couch, body opposite from his with your legs draped over his lap as you read a book. Joost pulled a sharpie out of thin air, you had no idea where he got it from.

You felt the cool drag of the marker along your lower leg. You peeked up from behind your book, seeing him focused as he drew a new figure, the tip of his tongue sticking out the corner of his mouth.

“Joost, you’re gonna give me ink poisoning.” You joked, moving away your leg, accidentally having him draw a line on your leg.

“Aw man now it’s messed up.” He groaned, dramatically pouting.

“It’s fine I can just wash it off later.”

“I wish you wouldn’t wash them off.” He leaned his head back on the couch.

“You know I don’t usually, I love your doodles, but I don’t want a random stripe of sharpie left on my leg.” You giggled, then going back to your book.

Soon however, Joosts last thing he said rung in your mind.

I wish you wouldn’t wash them off.

So what if you didn’t? What if you couldn’t wash one off?

That’s when you began your plan, the next appropriate spot on your arm or leg Joost would draw on, whatever he doodled. You’d go to the tattoo parlor as soon as possible, not telling him about it.

The next time he drew on you was when he was writing down song lyrics for a song he hadn’t named yet, he had to go over to the studio in a few hours.

You laid against him your arms wrapped around his torso while he had one wrapped around your shoulder and the other wrote down lyrics in a spiral notebook.

Soon you watched him stop, removing the marker from the paper and moving it to your arm. Drawing a cartoonish but cute looking dog head with its tongue sticking out on your upper arm. Thankfully not in an awkward spot. The placement was perfect.

“Schweinhund.” You smiled and mumbled when you saw the doodle. He looked at you and you saw how his eyes lit up and the gears start turning in his head.

He crossed a line through the question marks he put as the title above the lyrics, writing schweinhund right next to it.

“There we go, that will be the song title! Thanks liefje.” He pressed a grateful kiss to the top of your head.

You were excited to see how amazed he would get at the sight of the dog being tattooed onto you. You knew he wouldn’t be opposed to it. He loves dogs and tattoos, his arms being littered with silly patchwork tattoos.

Once he left for the studio, you made sure he was nowhere near your shared apartment before you left to go to a local trusted tattoo parlor.

You explained your idea and plan to the tattoo artist and they thought it was adorable. They cleaned up and made the line work a bit more neater on the drawing. You kept the tattoo uncolored, just keeping the simple outline on your skin.

The process didn’t take long and once you saw the finished product in the mirror, you were grinning ear to ear. It looked perfect, just like how Joost drew it, just the way you wanted it to.

Nearly skipping down the street in eagerness as you went back to your apartment, hoping Joost would be home soon.

You were a bundle of nervous yet excited nerves as you waited for Joost to come back. You tried to occupy yourself and your mind.

You watched TV, scrolled on your phone, even washed some of the dishes, doing anything to pass the time.

It was 7PM and you were scrolling through instagram on the couch by the time Joost got home, immediately you sat up once you heard the lock on the door click.

The anticipation began again even though you were seconds away from seeing him.

He opened and walked through the door, eyes looking a bit tired and giving you a lazy smile once he saw you.

You waited anxiously on the couch for him to kick off his shoes and walk over.

Soon as he sunk down into the spot next to you, wrapping his arms around your waist and laying his head on your shoulder.

“Mmm, studio was so tiring today.” He mumbled tiredly. Placing his chin on your shoulder to look at your face, a confused small smile took over his face at your expression.

“What’s got you so excited looking?” He sat up, arms still around you.

“I got a tattoo.” You smiled and bit down on your bottom lip.

“Really? You never told me you were planning to get one in the past, let me see!” He said happily, straightening up.

You turned a bit, revealing the doodle he made that was now inked permanently into your skin and covered by clingwrap.

His jaw dropped slightly, your expression faltered and you became worried.

Oh no, he doesn’t like it?

He brought a hand up to hold your arm, careful to not apply to much pressure.

“You got my drawing from this morning tattooed?” He looked at you with starry eyes, you nodded.

“You actually got my silly doodle tattooed?” He asked again after darting his eyes between your face and the tattoo. You nodded at his question once again, biting the inside of your cheek.

“Yeah, you said you wished I would never wash off your doodles.” You laughed nervously, “So, do you like it?” You spoke softly, extremely nervous.

He quickly cupped his hands over the sides of your head, pulling you in to peck kisses all over your face. You scrunched your eyes shut as you giggled.

You had your answer now.

He stopped after placing one sweet passionate one on your lips. He moved his hands from the sides of your head to your cheeks.

“I love it! How could I not? Why didn’t you tell me about it?” He let out a breathy laugh.

“I wanted to surprise you.” You shrugged and looked away.

“Of course.” He said, pressing a kiss to your forehead. “You’re unpredictable.” He chuckled and shook his head as he looked at your arm again.

“Thank you, liefje. You’re amazing.” He whispered before bringing you in for another sweet kiss, then pulling away to speak again.

“I think it’s time for me to get one for you now.”

An anatomy and lighting practice that turned into Ichiji! 😊❤️🎇✨🔥 I’ve been really inspired by @dannymans66 lately so I’ve got #1 on the mind.

ALSO!!! I HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WIN A FREE COMMISSION BELOW (Check it out and see if you can win!)

So I jokingly shared the lineart for this piece with my friend and said that it looked like a page from a coloring book and the idea humored me so much that I decided to hold a competition. I’ll give you all TWO WEEKS (ending June 4th 2024 at 23:59 EST) to color this picture of Ichiji using the blanks provided below and submit your illustrations here on tumblr with the tag #ichijirecolor (and it’s probably best if you @ me as well @silkentine). I’ll judge all the submissions (with the help of my unbiased mom) and the one that I like the best* will receive a free commission from yours truly :) anything you want!!! Feel free to color outside the lines, add stuff to the illustration, use the “wrong” colors, print it out and color it traditionally, whatever floats your snail-boat! 🐌 The only requirement is that my original illustration is included in some way (it doesn’t even have to look like Ichiji at the end, I suppose!)

*If my first place winner declines the prize or fails to respond with a week of the announcement, I’ll move on to the second place and so on and so forth.

Below the Read More, I’ve provided two versions of the lineart with and without the tattoo. Also, they are all 1526x2048 pngs either with a white background or no background at all. To color using a white background, place it as your top layer and set it to a Multiply blending mode, then you can add colors on a layer below without having to fuss with the lineart or delete the background. I’m not going to check if you keep the original size or ratio of the images; I like to work really big, so feel free to compress it if necessary. Feel free to move the watermark around, and it would delight me so if you added yours alongside mine!

Thanks in advance to all who decide to participate!!! I’m so excited to see what you can create!!!

Also here’s my version without any shading, you could use this too if you wanted to but isn’t it more fun to start blank? Idk I just think this is fun to look at.

If you made it this far and you’re still not sure if you want to participate or not, let me sweeten the pot and let you know that I’m a very small creator and I’m not expecting to get many submissions, so your chances of winning could be much higher than usual with these kinds of things!!! I’m not someone who judges on technical skill either, it’s purely my own taste that will decide the winner, so don’t let your skill level hold you back! I love funny things and getting to know people in the One Piece community!!! This is all my selfish attempt at making some new friends hahaha!! Thanks for reading all of this 😋🥰 you mean the world to me.

[halfbreeddege]

God, my phone takes some crappy images. These are way, waaay bluer in person and the camera really makes them purple. Got my water Nya pics made as temporary tattoos as well (right). Got the stickers (left) as comparisons.

Been thinkin' would anyone be interested in purchasing stickers of some of my recent Ninjago headshots like below?

I don't have any prices figured out yet, I'm just seeing if there's any interest. I'm thinking of going with maybe 3" x 3" (7.62cm x 7.62cm) sizes.

OR

Would anyone be interested if I got some more of those sticky notes printed out? Also, 3" x 3" (7.62cm x 7.62cm)

I even got some lanyard ideas in the works.

Sorry for the ugly watermarks, but just playin' it safe. I just got the main group + Morrow here, but I got other characters available too. If you guys want to see someone else, please drop me a note or add a comment below. Don't be shy!

I don't have ANY of the new Dragons Rising characters drawn out yet, but they're in the works.

Opening 3 commission slots to afford furniture and other basics!

The pricing for sketches and TOS can be found below the cut. Lineart will be +100% of the prices below.

You may reach me via DM on here, via Dis//cord alba_canta or albacanta@yahoo.com. I look forward to your ideas!

TOS:

General Procedures

-I reserve the right to deny or turn down any commission request I do not feel comfortable with, be it due to skill or topics I do not agree with.

-Commissions are for personal use only. I do not allow my art to be fed to any kind of A//I engines, nor for any kind of commercial use; there will be additional fees for commercial use.

-I reserve the right to post my art on social media unless requested otherwise. Regardless of this, all art will be put in my art portfolio.

-I accept requests to change only during the rough sketching phase. If you can't settle for a design and keep changing your mind, I reserve the right to deny continuing on your piece. After the sketching phase, I only allow 3-4 minor changes that don't drastically change the final piece. Any changes beyond that will increase the price of the commission.

-In order to start on your commission, I need as many details as possible: be it in written form, ref sheets, previous commissions, and so on. The more things you make clear are important for you in the beginning, the easier it will be for me to make your vision a reality.

-Please understand that excessive detail or complexity (such as intricate tattoos, clothing, or patterns) may increase the base price shown above.

Payment

-Payments are solely via Pay//Pal. Once we agree on a price and I put together the first sketch, I expect 50% of the full price to be forwarded in advance. I will forward the final product only after the full payment has gone through. All payments are final, I do not accept refunds.

-Once the finalized artwork is finished and accepted, I will send you full-res files of the work and watermarked versions for social media. No physical product will be delivered.

Other specifics

-Please be patient and allow me up to 3 months for your piece. I put a lot of care into quality and detail and that takes time. I will make sure to update you on my process, but you may also ask for them in moderation. Pestering me won't make me want to work for you any faster. Rushed art is only available for additional fees.

-You are allowed to share my art on your social media, but please make sure to only use the watermarked versions and tag me @albacanta-art. Please use a link to this blog for other social media.

-Be kind. Any and all inappropriate, pushy, or aggressive/rude behaviour towards me will result in a cancellation of your commission.

-Please keep in mind that I can not be available 24/7 for your messages and might need a day or two to answer during the week.

By commissioning me, you confirm that you have read my terms of service and agree to them.

Thank you for your interest!

Examples:

Rough Sketch: Quick and dirty, with or without faded first sketch lines underneath and minimal shading/detailing (Different line colours are optional, the norm is black)

Clean sketch: Carefully cleaned up lines and punctual highlighting / details

Greyscale sketch: Varying degrees of shading and lighting, including a simple background unless a detailed background is specifically requested (as was the case for this commission)

Full-colour sketch: Complete colouring and shading on a clean sketch with or without a simplistic background unless a detailed background is specifically requested.

Character Sheet Bundle: Includes a colour palette and 3-5 detail drawings depending on the pieces you choose to include besides the two full-body sketches (I will charge an additional fee for any more details you wish to include). I will provide a censored and uncensored version upon completion, but request that only the censored version is shared on social media. The character sheet will be flat colours only for the sake of being a reference sheet, e.g. for future commissions.

[literallylancelot]

YOUR CHARACTER HERE COMMISSIONS!!

Hello! I am doing a YCH commission to save money up for food, my dog’s food/medicine, and to stay afloat.

This YCH starts at $10 with very few possible extra bonuses.

I have four examples for the YCH to show you what I can do. I can draw all body types including larger bodies and masculine bodies. I can also skillfully render all skin colors, including alien skin tones! Lol - this is a restrained YCH in caution tape or tentacles (tentacles costs $5 more because they are a lot of work and I draw them uniquely for each YCH with them).

The steps:

Step 1: contact me, give me your character refs, and I will tell you the cost. It will most likely be $10

Step 2: I start the sketch, and when I finish it I send it to you

Step 3: after I send the sketch and show that I am committed to your comm, you will send either half or full payment.

Step 4: after I receive the half/full payment, I will finish your comm!

Step 5: comm is finished! If you sent full payment I will send it with my watermark in a non-obstructive spot. If you sent half payment, I will send it to you with the watermark in an obstructive area until full payment is received, which is when you will be given the non-obstructive watermarked image and the comm will be done! c:

Payment

I accept Venmo, Cashapp

Paypal… although truth be told paypal is a last resort because they take such a large cut…

DETAILS

Each YCH will vary, as I am not using a base. I am drawing this by hand, and I am using the same pose however I change placement of restraints depending on character and specification.

Let me know if you want the tape in a specific placement 😌 as you can see, drawing nipples is not out of the realm for me!

COMPLEX CHARACTER DESIGNS WILL COST EXTRA

what do I mean by complex? Well here are some examples…

-tedious hairstyles such as but not limited to an entire head of drill-like curls (like Teto’s twin drills, but a whole head of them). I will let you know up front if the hairstyle is deemed tedious by my standards and how much extra I will charge

-wings are a $3 extra charge

-multiple boobs… I will do, but I’m gonna have to charge you like… $2 extra lol

-many tattoos and piercings I get it, I am covered in tattoos and piercings myself. But I will have to charge you a little extra if I think the amount of detail will take extra care.

A few tattoos and piercings are fine. Consult me and I’ll let you know where I stand with your character

-Mechas, I will do mechas but they will cost extra

I will most likely not charge extra. Rule of thumb is if you know your character is a bit extra, I MIGHT charge extra. But then again I might not. Just ask 🥰

Unlimited spots as of now, but that may change depending on order volume.

This is designed to be a halloween YCH, but after halloween this YCH will still be available I will just raise the price. So right not it is on sale lol

My only “will not’s” are childlike characters as this is a mature YCH. Mechas cost extra as I consider them complex characters.

[daphnedauphinoise]

What do you think about sending nudes ? I don't know what to do and I would like some Daphne advice

I just won't do it. I do have a streak of being a prude but even objectively I would not do it, or at least without some safety precautions. There is a bajillion reasons why, but they all boil down to personal safety and reputation. If your pictures ever get out, you will lose a lot. You never know if the photos have been saved, how many people have seen it and you don't know when they will come back to haunt you. Revenge porn is sadly incredibly common and its devasting to think that someone you have trusted could do something like that but it is reality and something you have to consider. It hurts to think that someone you love could even do that to you but you just never know how people will act out with their hurt and pain. And maybe it won't be them, it could be someone they shared the photos with.

However if you were to send and share; remember no face, no case. This is literally the basics but crop your face out or just don't show it.

Cover up any noticable things like birthmarks and tattoos. Make sure there isn't anything identifiable in the background. Including (but not limited to) photos, uniforms of any kind and home decor.

Also keep a track of the photos that you sharing. You can do this by adding a small watermark somewhere. I advise keeping a list of who got sent what photo with which watermark so if worst comes to worse, you can take it to the police. It doesn't take too long and actually I think no matter how long something takes, if it is regarding your safety, it is worth everything to be dilligent. When watermarking, make it small but obivious to you. I think it is best to change the watermark for every different person you send but I have friends who did for everytime they send one, irrespective of how many times they sent nudes to the same person.

This might seem silly but I would also make sure that you write in text that they (the recipient) cannot share these pictures with anyone. I know it is assumed when sending nudes but if they were to get out and you had explicitly stated that they could not be shared, I think it is better.

These were the things I could think of, off the top of my head but this article has much more information which I think everyone should read regardless of if you take nudes or not. The article has great information on how to turn off photo details ( its crazy how much you can tell about the person's information from a photo) and how to store nudes safely.

Stay sexy but stay safe, Daphne

Idk what your art says about you but you feel like one of the people who started using the pencil brush really early and have barely if ever used anything other than it for line work

That’s so funny because early on when I was making digital art I actually almost exclusively only used clean/smooth linework

I think it wasn’t until I bought procreate that I finally started experimenting with more textured brushes

And even then in the beginning I still stuck to nontextured brushes for a while until I decided to mix it up and try out different brushes

Nowadays I go absolutely bonkers over textured brushes and yes, that pencil/sketch brush you usually see me using is indeed one of my favorites. I often use it for lineart because I like the way it handles when I use it. Strangely enough, that brush comes from a random free brushpack I downloaded

[IMAGE ID: A screenshot of a brush set on Procreate titled “Anime” (The title is not shown within the screenshot). The first brush is called “Sketch Brush💕1” and is circled in red. Written next to it is a note saying “I love this stupid brush <3”. /END ID.]

Right now I usually either use the sketch brush for lineart or a felt marker-like brush interchangeably, for a request I got I’m actually using this brush… which is from another free brushpack, simply called “Texture.”

[IMAGE ID: A screenshot of a procreate canvas showing how the brush handles. There is a large, thick squiggly line on the left and several smaller, thin lines next to it. The thick brushstroke shows more of the brush’s soft edges, while the thinner brushstrokes look more sharp and less fuzzy. Both have a taper to the end on both sides of the brushstroke. There is a doodle of the cat face emoticon using thick lines and a doodle beneath it of my character Saul, using medium lines. All the brushstrokes are blue. /END ID.]

For coloring, I usually use a brush that doesn’t screw with the bucket tool to fill things in and then for shading and details I go crazy and do whatever feels right

This turned into a whole ramble haha

(Old art under the cut. Now you too can see just how my art looked wayyyy back when)

September 2020

[IMAGE ID: A drawing of an anthropomorphic lion. It is brown and has a golden mane. It is standing and waving. It has golden jewelry and red, orange, and yellow tattoos on its tail. The linework is smooth and the colors used are shown on the side. /END ID.]

October 2020

[IMAGE ID: A drawing of a humanoid/anthropomorphic vampire squid. It is a reddish/brown color and has light green accents. Its arms are tentacles and its hair is chin-length, webbed and fin-like. A less detailed doodle next to it shows that its tentacles do not have fingers. Another doodle of it, in a smaller chibi version, shows it floating with a tiny shadow beneath it, with the note “Floats above ground”. The linework is smooth. /END ID.]

January 2021

[IMAGE ID: A drawing of a humanoid demon with orange skin and orange hair. It has a dark brown tail, a long tongue, dark brown horns, pointed ears, and a third eye that is yellow. It wears a cloth around its waist and wears lots of jewelry, holding more jewelry and valuable items in its hands. The linework is smooth. /END ID.]

July 2021

IMAGE ID: A drawing of Arthur Kingsmen from Mystery Skulls Animated. He is drawn from the side view and is looking at his hand, which is glowing, bloody, and green.

spartas guide to ordering a commission

as a preface, this is all stuff that i personally appreciate when being commissioned, other artists may or may not also appreciate these things!

i personally find commissioning people a little intimidating, and to me it seems like people who commission me feel a little intimidated or unsure of what is or isnt helpful, so i thought i would make a 'small', non exhaustive guide of tips and things that i appreciate in a customer :3

pre commission information i need:

size (bust/half body/full body/reference sheet/etc) level of completion (sketch/lined/flat/full shade) references for the character (more on this below!) a pose idea, reference, or a quick rundown on the characters personality (if you dont have a pose in mind, knowing their personality will help me pose them in a way that fits them!) background, if applicable (if you dont specify a background i will assume you dont want one)

regarding references:

i LOVE references. please please please do not feel like you have too many references, this includes photos of clothing, poses, tattoos, accessories, facial features, hair styles, anything that you feel like would be communicated easier with an image, please feel free to find one and include it as a reference drawn reference sheets or other art of fictional characters are preferred, but not mandatory. reference sheets make it easier for drawing pre existing fictional characters, but again, a good collection of photos will do the trick i will not copy another artists work 1:1, but i can take inspiration if theres a drawing that you think captures the idea/vibe youre looking for please be responsive with feedback, especially if im drawing a character from scratch based off of a collection of photos! i want to be sure im drawing what youre looking for! (more on this below!)

regarding feedback:

typically i try to send an update for feedback after every step of the commission, which means i will send you the sketch for approval, then i send you the lineart, then the flats, then the shading, before sending a link to a high quality version of the commission. please let me know if you would rather i dont wait for your approval between each step, otherwise i WILL wait for you to give me the go ahead before continuing any further. please please do not be afraid to ask me to change something. the sooner you tell me you want something changed, the easier it is for me to change it! i wont be offended or annoyed, YOU are paying me, so i want the commission to be what youre looking for! that being said, please be reasonable with changes. this just means, please dont ask me to change the entire pose around once im halfway through coloring it, any alterations to the pose or large additions like entire props or huge outfit changes ideally should be made during the lineart stage at the latest. past the lineart stage i am still happy to make smaller edits, like changing the expression or altering clothes in small ways, but i will not redraw entire portions of the character, thats the reason i send updates between steps. if you really want something large changed later in the commission, i can change it for an additional fee

and finally post commission:

please feel free to repost your commission anywhere you want and use it for any purpose! crop it for icons, use it on a blog theme, post it to every social media known to man, all i ask is that you dont remove my watermark and link back to my tumblr if youre reposting it! if you commissioned me for a sketch or lineart, feel free to line it and/or color it yourself like a coloring book! i can do this for reference sheets as well, with blank turn arounds that i can send over transparents of for you to color in! just make sure to credit me for the original sketch/lineart i can also remove any backgrounds or crop your commission for an icon free of charge! i can also put a flag or flat color in the background of a cropped icon if you so desire! and finally, you are totally welcome to edit and draw over any commission i do for you as well, or contact me again and i might still have the original files to do some edits for you for free or, depending on complexity, a low price! this could be anything such as adding accessories, tattoos, outfit changes, or removing/editing things like cutting hair shorter, removing piercings, or alterations to expressions.

i may edit this to add things as i remember them, but this generally has the information i feel like will be most helpful.

.......so check out my commissions if youre interested!

[cephiwyrm]

please please please share all of your ocs!!

HELLO YES I WILL??? there was one i was specifically vague posting about in the one reblog which i will NOT but i will share something funny abt him

my ex made a cardboard cut out of him, hated him so much they STABBED HIM and then mailed me the arm, and of course i still own it. ANYWAYS! pulling these from my main toyhouse (i have an ugly watermark i am so sorry) let the rambling begin (extremely long i am so sorry LMAO)

(cutely pulls up a piece of art) alright this is my cherry pop story! they are 3 cryptid / unnatural monster type hunters in a universe that is pretty much exactly like earth 1:1 except it was cats and dogs that became the main dominant species. the main character (aka just the one we see through her POV theyre all main characters to me.sniff) is Annie! she is a quiet and get it done type of character, besides working the 9 to 5 monster hunting job, she really likes games (this takes place in the 2000s btw) and is interested in how mechanical stuff works! also she is a trans icon :)

next is Peyton! shes she nerdy, figure it out type. probably the one in the group the most interested in what they're actually being paid to do; also one of the first ones to notice what is actually going on. she mainly enjoys going out and fucking around with her skateboard and shes a little sillay gal

last but not least in cherry pop is Micah! hes the brawns and usually helps with doing physical objectives, and also just catching the monsters in general if need be. first one to come to conclusions, even if they are SEVERELY wrong. he is captain of the swim team and wishes to go to a bigger college one day (they are in a small town)

OK NEXT !! AFTER PARTY they are some of my oldest ocs (not OLDEST oldest but def. there) and their story is a little all over the place since its with me and my friends and we havent gotten into it recently (its basically a masquerade type kill scenario) all their art is a little old but this is Okano! at a very young age, her father died and she was able to take over a very well off company. Well she doesn't make huge decisions by herself at the moment, she shows great opportunity in the future. she is very distrusting because of it though, and takes a while to warm up to people.

next is kaga! (one next to peyton) shes a little silly gal, shes very reckless and kind of doesn't care about danger shes in it for the thrill. absolutelu kills it being a roller blader, but also just likes walking around with no shoes on. also ! she works in a tattoo shop :)))

now realizing i have a lot of. trio characters huh. anyways! heres kiki. no ur not getting a genuine image bebcause she iisss so baby...... anyways; she is a french vlogger! she loves exploring the world and showing it to her growing number of people. also has a small AU inside of stardew valley :) shes obsessed with seagulls as well

ok realizing i have too many ocs and i dont want this to be like two million word post (30+ on my main and more not even on TH) so ill end off with my TTRPG charas :) this is Milo my druid aarakocra for DnD! on like the second session he got struck by lightining and got a god that way. When he was just a litol baby he wandered off from his home and into a forest where his brother, an elf named Leo, went up to his soon to be mentor/father figure Crechir like CAN WE PLEASE KEEP HIM PELASEEEEEE and may or may not have lied about his entire home burning to the ground later on he found a little gold dragon which when touching different objects changed colour; and was named skittle. little funny thing about skittle was everytime a gold coin was fed, he would grow just a little bit. even more later on, he was sent an ominous message about his birth home about how his mother had died and he was the next chieftan and so he had to go do some special trials in order to become one! he also went to the hell casino and since crechir gave him chips he was able to get an amulet that lets him shift between his two forms, treefolk and birdfolk

and finally, this is Ash for MOTW! she is a twin in a small town in canamerica (canada and america fused because our irl party is in both) due to being a twin, she was born with some spooky (haha her class) powers, and will send her twin Ali memes via telapathy. unfortunately being a teen with powers, she is also kind of very angsty and prone to some bursts of outrage. besides that, she has a very strong interest in wood carving, while her twin loves to hunt crytids, due to the strangeness of their town they have to deal with it every once in a while! they have a pet snake belovingly named banana (or boenana. shes a boa constrictor) and is honestly a teen that is addicated to her phone

ty for reading if you did!! i fucking LOVE MY OCS. SO MUCH. I WILL GO ON AND ON ABOUT THEM UNTIL I RUN OUT OF THEIR ACTUAL STORY

Okay, I want to go into more detail on this post. On last week's episode, I hooked RPG Maker's character generator onto a post about generators to use other than Midjourney and pals. This is about making sprites like these-

Note that these were all edited (some more than others- I only made light edits to Jovie (the middle one) today, so he's most along the lines of what you're getting if you don't edit).

Though RPG Maker has a generator that does a lot of the work for you, I highly recommend editing the sprites. They have colored eye highlights and other symptoms of strangeness. Plus it lets you do more with the character design! But if you just want to generate characters, here's a quick and dirty guide.

First of all- this is for RPG Maker MV and MZ. They work pretty much the same. VX Ace only lets you generate faces, which look like this-

MV and its sequel MZ allow for more customization options. I used VX Ace years ago, but its generator was nowhere near as good as these two. It's also super old and might not run correctly, so don't bother.

Faces are updated automatically with the rest of your sprite sheet, so I wouldn't worry too much about them.

Another thing to note is that those fancy sprites come in a 9x6 grid that looks like this (watermarked so it can't be used in someone else's game)-

This sheet contains 54 sprites for three-stage animations. Unless you're making a game, you don't need all this shit. The sprite in the top left should do. Although you can use any single sprite you want.

Whether you are using MV or MZ is irrelevant, as the generators work the same. Make a new game project (you don't need to put anything in it), then click the person's head in the toolbar. There are male and female adult/teen options, along with kids (the sheet above is a kid sheet).

When you save- first click "Save Settings". This creates a json file, which you can put wherever. By clicking "Load Settings", your character will appear in the male, female, or kid tab with all your settings intact. You need to click "Battler" to get the type of sprite I use. There's also "Face Image" (if you want a face), Walking Character (for smaller sprites- a 3x4 grid) and Damaged Character (for if your character is knocked out- useful for RPG Maker cutscenes and nothing else).

The side menu has all this shit on it-

In order of appearance-

Face: Adjusts the shape of the face. Only works on the face image. You can also change skin color from here, but the options are shitty (I'll talk more about that later).

Front Hair/Rear Hair: Hair comes in two parts. If you have both of these set to empty, the character will be bald. Eyebrows will be the same color as the hair, and attempting to change eyebrow color will change hair color.

Beard- Gives your character a beard if you want. Only on the male tab. Like eyebrows, the beard color is linked to the base hair color.

Ears- For elf ears and the like.

Eyes- Changes eye color and eye shape in the Face sprite.

Eyebrows/Nose/Mouth- Effects the face sprite only. This is pretty self-explanatory, with each function changing the body part it describes.

Facial Mark- Allows you to put things like tattoos and scars on your character's face.

Beast Ears/Tail/Wing- For non-humans. Beast Ears gives your character kemonomimi ears (catgirls and catboys). Tail and Wing give your character exactly those. You can change the color of any of them.

Clothing/Cloak/Accessory Tabs/Glasses- Everything your character wears. You can choose one accessory form the 1 and 2 tabs, and also change the color of all these things. A word of caution- the clothes tend to get muddy when you alter their color. Clothes have multiple tiers of color, so it might take some trial and error until you find the color you want. Some accessories (coughhatscough) clip weirdly. If you give your character no clothing, they'll be Barbie doll nude (MV) or have only undies on (MZ).

Once you finish and export, the sprite sheet is like any other png, and you can edit to your heart's content. You can just clean up pixel trash, alter expressions, change any color, or completely change everything. You can use any program, too. I use Krita, but if you prefer a different program like pirated Photoshop, then use that instead.

Here's a comparison of Generic Shonen Boy 13 and my character Jonas.

You can also add custom parts to the generator! These can easily be found online. Some parts have terms of use that ask for creator credit, but you don't have to worry about that unless you plan to post the character (in which case just mention the person's name). There's parts that let you make anything, including furry characters.

Now, RPG Maker's generator does have some huge problems, namely-

Price- RPG Maker MZ is $80 on Steam. Watch for Steam sales which drastically decrease the price. Official DLC that upgrades the generator will also set you back 10-15 bucks a pack. If you have MV, it's basically required to buy DLC just to make kid characters (otherwise, you can only change the colors of the same girl). MZ is a lot less mean in this regard.

Generator Corruption- This happened to me in MZ, unfortunately. Adding parts wrong or trying to transplant from MV into MZ (or vise versa) may corrupt your generator. This means absolute wacky shit will happen- clumps of weird pixels, overlapping parts, missing pixels etc. etc. This is easily fixable in an outside program. But if you can't draw/sprite, then just stick to the default parts.

(As side note- here's what generator corruption looks like. Red hair is my OC Moira. Blond hair is the generator character I edited. Note the block of brown pixels between the legs, a transparent pixel on the jacket fur near her leg, and what appears to be an extra arm emerging from her back. I've even found sprites with missing/overlapping arms and hands or extra feet.)

Diversity- The big problem is race. There are a million skin tones that basically translate to "white". But there are only three dark skin tones in MZ, and only one doesn't look like rotting flesh. I had to edit one of my characters pretty heavily just to make him brown. Also, not all male and female parts are interchangeable. This- again- means going to an outside editor. Gender isn't as much of an issue for kids- all the parts are available for them regardless of gender.

And that's pretty much it! If you want to use RPG Maker as an alternative to AI, here's your starter guide. Sites like Reddit and RPG Maker Forums have more parts and can answer extra questions.
