#i cannot afford to get a singular day a month i just can't

[mermaus]

I cannot express how absolutely huge this is for me. I have spent the last five months being shot down, ghosted, and downright ignored by so many businesses in my area for one reason or another. 90% of the time being ghosted immediately after an interview that sounded very promising.

So to have received an offer less than 10 minutes after an interview ended makes me so happy I could legit cry.

Commissions

Note for everyone; even if you can't order a commission, I understand, but promoting this would mean the world to me. I'm struggling with finances due to issues I won't delve into, and I'm trying to afford the payments for my Cheer team + school fees. I already have a job to begin payment for it, but it's limited times and I'd prefer more help on it.

RULES

No Nsfw themes.

Try not to barter, please, I don't like wavering on prices.

Keep in mind that I may struggle with other people's styles (this applies to shows, I'm not doing it to a singular artist until I've gotten permission)

Feel free to remind me, but don't harass me over it. (You will get your money back in 2 months time after payment if I am unable to finish it.)

-----------------------------

I will have 15 slots open at a time and will make a reminder post when 2 are open.

(If you'd like to be @ ed or dmed when one is open, just let me know.)

-----------------------------

Examples of my work

(fairly recent or good examples of my skillset)

These are just a few

Sorry for the weird setup.

To summarize, I experiment with shading, posing, and backgrounds quite often.

I am willing to do

Furry art (I learned the anatomy and I'm fine with it as long as I have references and it is kept SFW, If you do not have a reference but have ideas and are willing to keep constant communication with me, then I am willing as well.)

DnD art (I can learn the anatomy of any creature and do any details you want)

Perspective backgrounds (I am fine with it)

Lyric art2

Complicated poses, if I cannot do it I will let you know and we can come up with something else.

Strange anatomy, as long as you have a reference I can do it

Design commissions

Fanwork of characters from a fandom

Feral characters

Humans

Anthro

I am less likely to do

Ship art (I can't draw kissing, but if it's not that then it's probably fine)

Demonic imagery

Insanely complicated designs (I can do it, just unsure if it'll be accurate enough to your liking.)

Geometric designs, they are very difficult for me but I can do it with some talking back and forth.

Art of real people (If you are fine with it being stylized, then I am willing)

There will be more added, this is still a WIP

Keep in mind I am a minor, so I cannot do this as a full time job. A piece can take anywhere from a day to a couple weeks to get done. I will keep you updated on the progress as I go along, I just may be slow to respond.

Simple background (Like eyes, something I have to draw) - 3$

Nature background - (Depends on complexity) 10-50$

These are examples, they will vary. References for what you'd like are preferred.

If you do or don't want me to post the drawing, let me know. Otherwise, I may or may not.

Let me know if you want the Krita file.

If you don't want to DM me on Tumblr, Deviantart works too.

Payment

I do have a Paypal that I will DM you if we get through the basic process.

I'll have half the price upfront, and the rest when the piece is finished.

Refunds are applied when

- I do not finish it.

- I have taken more than 2 months to work on it without stating that it would take that long, or letting you know of a pause beforehand.

If you back out, I will charge you according to how much has been done. If I have a sketch at that time, you will be charged 50% of the price of a normal sketch. I get slow payments, but I can't afford to spend time on things I won't get paid for. Again, you know this as you go into the process, I will let you know when I start it, and as I get through each phase of it.

Your satisfaction is entirely dependent on you, as I will be updating you throughout the process, and you can tell me to change whatever you want me to. You are hiring me for this work, and I intend to do it well and efficiently.

I will take breaks between taking commissions, as I am, again, a student in high school. I am in the midst of competitive sports and several studies so I understand if I am taking too long for you.

FAQ:

None yet, adding more as we go.

People fucking scare me.

So recently I was at my friend's place for 3 days. I invented new religion/cult, watched few films and met her stupid boyfriend. But one thing that bugged me is that her old roommate now moved with her boyfriend.

To me it just feels really really strange. Maybe it is my innate need for community or something else entirely but I would rather choke on my own foot than leave my friend(s) high and dry in a hellscape that is housing and adult life. Imagine earning enough to be capable of buying a house and instead of doing that and living in a house full of your loved ones, you dip to live with a cuck you met 4 months ago and you practice your relationship on a really rare reptile? Like girl, no matter what he says his dick is not good enough. (I might have personal beef with this girl in particular because, despite both of us being aces, we're clearly different kinds of ace and we do not see eye to eye on anything and there were few bickering where I don't really perceive her as human being deserving respect for some of the shit she believes. Like, if you're willing to take humanity away from somebody because they sleep around, I get to do the same to you you nitwit)

Like, given the space, I wouldn't mind living with 69 3rd wheels. I just care about my friends too much to be like "sorry I've got a boyfriend, have fun time not being able to pay rent or finding a roommate that won't knife you in your sleep!". Yeah, I can imagine being 3rd wheel isn't the nicest experience (and I lived in a dorm for 4 years, I know a thing or two about being 3rd wheel and PDAs and cockblocking and so forth) but you know what's worse experience? Being fucking homeless you absolute trashbag.

When I say I'd like a whole ass abbey for my (nonexistent) polycule, I'm only slightly exaggerating. Because life where I get to share my space and free time with people I care about (to be clear, even when we don't agree on everything, as I know for a fact; not all of my favourite cuteuals and me agree on everything. Though, at least we're not disagreeing on human rights) is valued more than having big, empty, white house to myself and my 1 (one) partner.

Underneath the wraps, I'm really social person and I crave social interactions on a daily basis in high numbers - as I do with my alone time. So living in a big ass abbey where we all can pick and choose how we spend our spare time and how we socialise and how we do things communally, is a fucking dream.

I cannot imagine a life where I get a singular spouse and I'm blinded to all of the other folk I love. You have to be really shitty roommate for me to kick you out and genuinely shitty human being to leave you for a pole. Like, honey, not a single dick in a galaxy is worth it.

And again. Imagine calling somebody a friend and fuck off when she's transparently telling you "hey, I can't live here without you, I can't afford it" and you're like "lol kthxbye".

I hate her. Get help. (Source? Me. Trust me bro.)

All of this tangent triggered by somebody placing their partner on the pedestal and *only* them. Imagine not having friends, family, other relationships. Just you and your fleshlight. I'd rather die, thanks bye.

I have not ventured into crossover writing. The idea is intriguing, though...and I'm in awe of those who do!

I have not, but know many who have. And it makes me sad and I actually pity the hateful person...because imagine the energy and effort fueling that vitriol. Like, isn't it exhausting?

Oh gosh! What a question! <I love them all> But I'd have to say (besides my anon fic which I'm super-excited about, y'all) Sun Stroke is my favorite, only because it's a fic that was pure joy to craft and a writing state of mind I often try to recapture (which I felt like I achieved with my anon fic. CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE.)

Tagging @mystickitten42, @iero0, @ladderofyears, @gnarf, @veelawings, @wheezykat, @vukovich
