ABOUT ME

Hi there! I'm @hybeana! I'm a disabled artist that could really use some help!

Without disclosing too much specific personal information: my disability is mild-to-moderate depending on the day, which means I struggle with IADLs such as grocery shopping, cooking, driving, and cleaning. I also sometimes (but not always!) struggle with walking due to pain. I also deal with regular sensory issues that make daily living a struggle in general. As you can imagine, this prevents me from working most jobs.

I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis a year or two ago. (That's doctor speak for "heel pain we don't know how to fix.") I am an ambulatory cane user. I'm very certain that I also have an unknown autoimmune disorder, long covid, or god forbid both. I cannot afford to see a doctor. I also need to save money for an autism diagnosis. My autism often prevents me from working due to sensory issues, and a diagnosis ensures that I am fully accommodated. Although, I am unsure if I will ever be able to work a full 9 to 5. My long-term goal is disability payments.

No matter any of that, I still need to keep up with rent. My partner gets income to cover most of it, but they are in school and cannot work full-time. We need to earn about $300 USD minimum more than what they currently make per month to stay in our current apartment until December/January when our lease ends. And that's not even including utilities!

We have basic groceries and most of our rent covered, but feeding 2 adults and 1 cat can be a struggle. My cat is old and requires some supplements that are a little expensive to stay happy and healthy.

You can support me and my family by commissioning some artwork from me! I mainly do digital artwork, but I can also do traditional. Since I get so few commissions in general, I have recently upped my prices. Even a small commission is better than nothing!

PRICES

Timed 15 Minute Sketch/Doodle: $20.00 USD

This is a timed, 15-minute doodle of one of my OCs, Ascii! This is the option I offer for folks who want to support me, but maybe don't have as much cash to drop on a thermonuclear fully-shaded, fully-lined piece.

---

Rough Lineart (No Color): $50.00 USD

This is a piece I did for my bestie @spearohero of her character Cecelia! The lineart is rough, but unfocused. If there is color, it is extremely minimal (if at all). I clean it up a little bit at the end so that it isn't a complete mess.

---

Rough Lineart + FLAT Coloring: $70.00 USD

This is another one of my OCs, Xenarthron! The style here is rough, not as focused lineart with no/minimal shading. I mostly do these for myself for fun, so I don't spend as much time and energy on them as smooth lineart and shading.

---

Smooth Lineart (No Color): $90.00 USD (THIS CAN GET ME GROCERIES FOR 1 WEEK!)

This piece was a gift for my dear friend @panther-os of his ATLA OC, Amaruq. I spent considerable time referencing real-life images, correcting anatomy, and focusing on line weight. You can see how differently it compares from the rough lineart in that everything is focused and purposeful.

---

Smooth Lineart + SHADED Coloring: $120.00 USD

These are doozies for me because it requires so much effort and work - and I hate shading! Working with lighting can be difficult, but it's worth it in the end to see such a full, emotional piece. I did this one for @/hodagagenda of her sona. Thanks again for your support!

What about complex backgrounds, multiple characters, busts, or other stuff not mentioned here?

CONTACT ME for pricing! I am 100% willing to haggle if it means the difference between making rent and... not making rent.

OTHER INFO

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Though I'm open to commissions, please don't ask me to draw anyone real. I feel like people who ignore the fact that I've mentioned on this account this I draw only OCS and characters people are choosing what they want to see, read, and hear.

I'm fine with people asking for anything but actual people, especially cause the last commission I did on a real person they didn't pay so I never gave them the full piece.

If you want a Commission please listen afollor the posts because they are basically rules. I have more on my main account at @arenabreadandbiscuits. If I have to make anymore post explaining and ESPECIALLY on this account I'm going to annoyed with you in DMS if you manage to be one of these people who can't read or follow my rules.

The account mentioned about is my main account, this account is a comic I'm working on, stop asking for commissions on here unless you have good funds cause they aren't cheap, you use my methods payment app, you understand I can do real people I just prefer not to and to do fictional characters and OCS more, then theres no reason for me to explain to you what your doing wrong with you ask and have none of this ready before doing so.

if you really are confused as to what I will draw the ask. I'm very picky on who I accept my money from. I only take Cashapp, Venmo, Chime, and One.

The next person who comes to me and asks me something on commissions that I never said was allowed or claimed I do is getting blocked. If you have questions ask them but most of my posts between both accounts have answered this over and over again and I'm tired of saying the same thing when the information is RIGHT THERE.

On another note since my last real life comm wasn't paid for by the person who called for it, no.. I wont draw your son, mother, father,dog.. if I can't confirm you'll pay I won't draw anything and payment is accepted before everything else so if you aren't capable of paying you're blocked. Plus I already stated here that I don't feel comfortable drawing real people so respect that and don't ask me to do so unless they have an oc of something that I can draw for them instead.

The whole point of commissions is for me to make money doing the things I can do. Realism isn't a big genre of mine so unless you want someone in my style then don't ask me for real people. I feel most comfortable this way and for me to even do your commission if you ask for one, I NEED to be comfortable or well both be upset. YOU because you didn't follow my rules, and ME because you didn't follow my rules.

I can of course work on anything but with everything I've been through the last two years alone. If you don't have the money immediately you're getting blocked. I'll try anything really but respect me if I turn down something. Don't make me tell you to find another artist more than one time. Also no one better DM me thinking IM the one looking for someone to commission.

I'm not, clearly I need money too digbat. Basically anyone who doesn't DM me like this is getting blocked:

"Hii, I'm looking for someone to draw my OC for me. Full lineart, full color, I'm willing to wait as you work, now rush and I at least have around 300$ on my with no background or home issues to worry about with my money so Merry Christmas OP! I can pay with Cash app/Chime/One/Venmo/Current." And that should be all... Something like that. It's not hard at all.

Thx.

Any questions ask, just make sure they are reasonable. Don't ask me something you wouldn't want anyone asking you. Like I said since this account was supposed to be for my comic idea don't ask for the commissions here but at my main account here: @arenabreadandbiscuits This is the final time I'll be making a post of commissions on this account, the other has all the information anyone could need. Please use it.

If you ask here I'll be ignoring you. Toodles!

Are you ever going to do custom items for people?? Like, you drawing a custom picture for someone and then making it into a charm or pin for them, or just selling it in your shop in general?

I’ve definitely considered opening custom charm commissions and its something I may do in the future! I would probably only sell the design in my shop if it were a fan art commission as selling other people’s oc’s feels kind of weird haha, but if it were ambiguous enough of a design I would consider it with the commissioner’s permission.In any case, that’s something I’ll have to figure out the terms and pricing of more in depth before opening! I can say my commissions wont be open any time this year.Also I’ve been getting quite a few messages about opening my comms so I just want to talk briefly about why I’ve had so much trouble opening them this past year under the cut:

The thing about commissions is that at this point, I’m a little wary on how to price them. At my old price points they just really don’t feel like I’m earning enough to justify taking time away from my shop and other art, and the stress and anxiety that befalls me from taking them on is just another factor that makes me hesitant to reopen them. I’m really not sure I can afford to spend time drawing a full body of someone else’s OC for $25 anymore because the time it would take me would be time I could use to create new merch that would benefit my job a whole lot more than a one time commission could. I’m a pretty slow artist and already have trouble dividing my personal and work art. I could raise my prices but I already feel an overwhelming pressure to create something really nice when people are paying me for my art, so charging even higher rates would probably cause that fear of the commissioner’s expectations to rise. I really don’t want to get into a situation where I take other people’s money and then can’t deliver what I promise. So if I ever open my comms again, it will probably be for small experimental stuff, or doodle comms ^^; Just felt like I should address this since I get questions about it every so often!
