#either we were discord pals/tumblr mutuals first so i felt/feel comfortable commissioning them

drop the trusted artist list?? 🥺🙏

oh hello :> i have commissioned a lot of art in recent years, and about 80% of the experiences were wonderful! so def take a look through my OC tags to see some of that work! i'm happy to privately talk about any experiences i've had if anyone's considering an artist i've commissioned in the past.

for more ambitious pieces, i tend to return to the same few folks

@rickety-goose - beloved friend with a gorgeous painting style! beautiful texture and i know i can like, ramble an idea out and ren's got me.

@fat-rolls-frictions - so so sweet and master of managing expectations?? line work and details for the gods. the way maggie adds warmth and depth to skin blows my mind.

@impossible-rat-babies - owen nails the vibe every time. the chalk-like texture and warm lighting in his work just gets me tbh.

@sunshinemage - have you SEEN these?? king (gn) of atmosphere and lighting. rory is so thoughtful about character details too.

@harumeau - hannah's style is so dynamic and they're really great at helping their commissioners tell a story. incredible linework, and the way she colors is so beautiful.

i don't think all these folks are open for work right now, but these are my go-to artists and the ones i recommend again and again! give them a follow so you can keep an eye on slots.
