Howdy Tumblr! Ur local auDHD nonbinary menace here, drowning in debt and now needing to make some major repairs on my car, so I'm opening a variety of commissions! let me design your next tattoo, spruce up your favorite magic card, or draw your OCs 🏵️ more details below the cut!

Tattoo designs: all tattoo designs are done traditionally in black and white ink and will be sent to you digitally. If you wish to have the physical version, a small shipping fee will be added. My work has been tattooed on many people at this point and most artists find my style to be very easy to translate to skin.

MTG Alters: more information on my magic alters can be found at altersbyn8.carrd.co

Characters: all character drawings are done traditionally with pencil, ink, and alcohol based markers. They will be scanned and sent to you digitally. if you wish to have the physical version, a small shipping fee will be added. I do have some experience with simple digital color and if you are interested in that style let me know! I will do any OCs, especially DND/ttrpg or tarnished/video games pcs!

I can accept payment thru PayPal, Venmo, and Cash app. You can choose to pay in full before I begin, otherwise a 50% deposit will be required before I begin, and the remaining 50% will be paid at the "sketch" stage (if you've commissioned just a sketch, it will be due upon completion. if you've commissioned an ink or colored piece, it will be due before I begin the final inking/coloring process).

You can contact me here via dm, my Instagram , or email me at n8.lessly@gmail.com !

more examples of my work can be found at my portfolio or my art tag . Thanks for reading and sharing!

My first alter. I learned a lot making it. I wonder if anyone here will get the reference.

Personally I've never been a fan of the "magic is a beast that needs to be tamed" metaphor. Magic is more like the ocean: powerful, terrifying, capable of unbridled force. But at the same time, it is gentle, warm, the lifeblood of millions of people. The folk who know the ocean know you cannot harness it's force, you must work within or around it, lest it destroy you. Similarly, magic is great and terrible and gentle and kind, all at once. And those who work with it need to work WITH it, not reign over it. Because the primordial forces have no rules about biting the hand that feeds you.

So I wanted an excuse to imagine the modern characters meeting baby Bill and to do impossible sci-fi things to Bill's brain in Theraprism. And throw in an amnesia plot just because.

Since escaping Theraprism didn't work, Bill's decided to cheat. Unfortunately the only official way a patient leaves Theraprism is via reincarnation, which means losing his memories. But he's found a way to trick them into releasing him, AND guarantee he'll get his memories back.

All he has to do is REMOVE his so-called "traumatic" memories (which TOTALLY didn't traumatize him, he SWEARS), get cleared to leave, and then reabsorb his memories later.

And he does this by... physically separating his various traumatic experiences into separate people. With magic.

Each removed facet of Bill's past only remembers their own portion of his memories, with only hazy memories of anything before their assigned era.

In effect this means Bill's memory clones work as if some time traveler had plucked a bunch of Bills from different points in his life out of the timeline: a baby Bill with baby memories, a child Bill with child memories, etc. And one modern Bill who doesn't remember much of anything anymore.

It's totally working, though! This is the most mentally healthy Bill's EVER BEEN. He's. He's SO mentally healthy, guys. Menetally healthy. Mealthy. he's f ine.

Please believe him.

He's gonna convince the therapists there's nothing wrong with him in NO time.

(The irony is that, lacking the baggage of a trillion years of medical trauma, fear of captivity, and distrust of authority, he might actually go "Whoa, I think something's wrong with me. Don't discharge me, I need help." Another flawless Bill plan backfires!)

Meanwhile, he's smuggled all his memory clones out of Theraprism and they're just running around somewhere. It's fine! He can find them when he's free! Bill can't think of any reason why a bunch of lost children who look exactly like Bill Cipher would run into any trouble! Especially since he can't remember doing anything that would make a lot of people hate him or anything like that!

they'll be fine don't worry about it
