ART COMMISSIONS [CLOSED]

hello! i’m having a situation and have to come up with some quick money (not a penny would be spent carelessly) so i thought to open art commissions for the first time. anything would help, even just a reblog.

keep in mind scarekat was my previous user.

CLEAN SKETCH — (0/4) $10. FLATS + COLORED — (1/4) $15. WITH SHADING — (3/4) $25.

all prices are usd.

i only draw from waist and up. as listed, i can draw ocs, ships, couples, fanart. i will not complex backgrounds as my style can vary. commissions can take up to 1-7 days and i would keep you updated on progress!

additional characters (limit is 3 each commission) are allowed, and please send references.

i will send progress pics to check if you are satisfied with the stages of your commission. small changes are allowed then. once we both confirm the sketch, we can move on and there will be no last minute changes. payment through kofi. accepting gift cards (that is a joke)

please keep in mind these take time and energy, your patience and understanding would be greatly appreciated. each piece will have my signature.

fill out this form!

Since it was mentioned and I need the help, I put together a quick commission sheet. (￣y▽,￣)╭  These are meant to be quick and simple and cute ! They are all lined and flat colored with a little simple shading. :BIG: includes half or most of the torso and arms. :SMALL: is shoulders up. Prices are for singles; if you wanted a matching pair/couple, :BIG: would be $35 and :SMALL: would be $25. Prices are all in USD. Turn around should be pretty fast (1-2 days each) on weekends. I work during the week and will only have the free time and energy to draw on weekends. There will be a sketch sent for approval; once it's approved, that's when payment will be due. Once payment is received, I will finish the art up and send it your way. Please message me here if you would like to commission me. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) Payment is through Kofi/Paypal.

-NEED HELP MOVING OUT-

Hi everyone! This one’s gonna be a long one but I hope I can implore you all to take a quick minute of your time to read this and hopefully share it with others TvT. I’ve really been taking my time procrastinating from writing this because I never liked talking much about my own personal situation and dumping that on people, but I’ve unfortunately reached a point where I'm a bit desperate for any kind of help If I am going to try and make this happen.  

Recently I’ve started a serious goal of saving up enough money in order to move out by early next summer. I have attempted to make plans to move from my family home many times in the past couple of years and unfortunately have never managed to get anywhere near to achieving that goal due to my financial situation. Things have gotten increasingly stressful and emotionally exhausting in my current situation and I’ve officially hit that point where I’m willing to ask for assistance online.  

As a freelance artist, even with my Etsy, Patreon, ko-fi, and commission work combined I barely manage to make enough for basic living essentials which doesn’t include any sort of insurance or homeowner/apt owner expenses. Currently I do my very best to pay for as much as I can on my own and even so I still require support from my parents by them allowing me to live with them and them providing internet etc. What I pay for out of pocket is limited to things I need personally such as food, clothes, basic living supplies, art/store supplies etc. I’ve also recently limited myself from buying anything that is not completely necessary for essential living like eating out, movies, buying gifts over a certain price limit for friends, as well as canceling any travel plans from here on out. 

At this point I feel like It’s important for me to explain why I am a freelance artist as opposed to having any other type of job that could potentially be easier and pay better. This may be a bit of a tl;dr but I feel like it should at least be mentioned because the impact it’s had. Several years ago (I wanna say 2013 ish?) I dropped out of my community college because of essentially having a breakdown. The entire experience had left such a negative impact on me that my mood had very noticeably 180’d from high school to 2nd year of college. It was probably the closest I've come to being any level of depressed, which is not a word I throw around lightly as it’s something I don’t think I've felt anywhere near the level of those who struggle with it. Overall those years were so incredibly demoralizing and difficult for me that I made the tough decision of leaving school, something I had never even considered doing in my past (I never even skipped class in high school up until last day of senior year lol). Deciding to leave when I did though was probably the right decision because to this day, I still feel the lasting negative effects those years had on me. After I left school, I picked up a retail job and worked there for about a year and half. It wasn’t something I was really eager to do but was necessary as I wasn’t going to school anymore. With no degree though a minimum wage job was my only real option. Unfortunately, my experiences working weren’t all that positive either (as something I'm sure many of you also experience). I struggled to maintain motivation and continued to feel incredibly negative. It got so bad that it effected my relationships with family and friends as it kept me in a very antisocial mood. I ended up quitting that job shortly after and decided to try and go full freelance. Ever Since then I've worked on building up my store, commissions and anything else I could to try and make money from my art. To this day I still struggle with building up my online presence to the point where I can make a living off of it, but one thing that drastically changed for the better was my mood. My mental health has always been an absolute priority for me and I make a conscious effort to never force myself into anything that I know will have a negative impact on my health, which is why I dropped out of college and quit that job. I knew that if I stayed there it would have absolutely gotten so bad that It would have left much deeper scars than it has. And Although working in Freelance is no easy task and comes with its own degrees of stress, I find it far more rewarding and worth managing that stress. 

But as a result of those years I’ve been afraid of going back to either school or a minimum wage job. I know if I return to a job like that it will pull me back into a mental space that I'm just not willing to sacrifice myself to, and as far as College goes, I simply can’t afford it. However, with deciding to become a freelance artist I've dedicated my time to trying to build myself back up with my art and create a presence online where I can simultaneously do what I know makes me happy while also earning a living off of it. My progress has been slow and over the years I've felt like I've hit a standstill which brings me to my overall goal of wanting to move out. As I mentioned before I had been making attempts to move since around the time I worked in retail. Things haven’t panned out since then as I am still struggling to try and build up my store/Patreon/overall customer basis online. Unfortunately, also within these past few years tensions have been at a pretty constant high in my household because of it. There’s an added weight of still being so reliant on my parents after all these years and it being used against me, that the stress I’ve accumulated from it has kept me from being as productive as I would like. Recently with some current events I’ve just about hit a breaking point and am willing to do anything I can in order to save up so I can officially move out. I’m incredibly tired emotionally from still being here and I’ve started to take serious steps to making this move happen. Luckily I’ve been able to find a friend I can move out with so I won’t be paying rent on my own and I’ve calculated how much I could potentially make a month if I stick to a packed workload schedule. It’s not ideal but I’ve committed to this freelance work and I’m willing to work as hard as I can to reach my goal, and if all goes well then by this time next year i’ll be able to move out.

In writing this I hope that I can ask for support in helping me raise enough so I can try and move out of an unhealthy situation into hopefully something better.  

And to be clear I'm not doing a kickstarter or gofund me. That’s just simply not something this warrants. I know have options and I know that all I need to do is to work much much harder than someone with a 9to5 in order to earn what I need. The only reason I decided to write this out is to share WHY your support is so incredibly important to me and why sharing my work to anyone you can is very essential to my livelihood. Right now, I am very far away from earning nearly enough on a monthly basis in order to move out within a year, but I'm hoping that can change for the better. I simply ask for those who support my work to continue to do so and for those who haven’t and are absolutely financially able to consider supporting my work and share it with anyone you know. Whether it’s commissions, store merch, Patreon rewards, ko-fi etc. Every tiny bit helps me so much!  

---------------------------- 

Here are the ways you can support me!

✪ Patreon: With the cheapest tier being 2$ a month you guys can get early access to all of my artwork a month in advance as well as other bonus content at the 2$ and above tier that is exclusive to patrons only. I have details about my rewards and goals on my Patreon that you don’t have to pay to view! Simply visit my homepage and browse through the rewards and bio to see if it interests you! 

✪ Ko-fi: I recently added a moving goal fund there which will show its progress with each kofi donation! The goal is ambitions and I don’t really expect to reach it but I wanted to just aim high and try and earn as much as I can. Also, I do sketch commissions there occasionally and may do other types of small commissions. So, if you’d like to support me while also getting something for yourself keep an eye out for my announcements on my twitter! 

✪ Commissions/adoptables: I’m going to officially be opening up my commissions soon but before that I wanted to try my hand at selling some adoptables! I’ll have more information about them after I finish up my current batch of commissions but I'm going to try and stick to those for now with some small YCH commissions sprinkled in between. After those though I’ll be opening up regular commissions again ^^ 

✪ Etsy:  I’m actually not sure If I'm going to keep my store up for much longer since I get charged a fee on each listing but before it closes you could help support me by buying merch from my store! 

-------------------------- 

And lastly, I want to thank everyone who took the time to read through this and for those who follow me/support me in any way that you can. Even your reblogs/retweets on my work mean so much to me and help me so much I could never fully express how much I’m thankful to have such an amazing and lovely following of people <3 Thank you for your time

Commissions and Job Hunting

And so the joy and ease of summer starts to draw to a close with the inexorable dwindling of my bank account. I'm down to my last $600, just enough to cover next month's rent and utilities, but I'm scrambling to get money together for everything else, including feeding myself and my cat and getting gas for my car. Job applications have been slow going due to me having to update my resume with practically every site, as job applications do, and the stop gap driving job would be wonderful if I had the time to actually do the driving part that makes me money. Great time to be out of town due to family get together that decide to double in length and get me temporarily blocked from the scheduling site. So much fun. Anyway, though I have never actually closed commissions, I'm going to be opening a specific sign up only series of commission slots so hopefully get together some quick-ish cash so I can buy food for my cat (I can live off ramen for a little longer). The details are as follows: +10 slots, $10 per slot. In my normal commission bracket, this would be a quick colored chibi or simple bit of handlettering up to three words, but I'm going to be expanding it for this to hopefully draw more attention. These slot commissions are going to be any full color bust portrait of up to two characters per slot, preferably but not required to be humanoid. The style of these slot commissions are going to be in the same vein as my CU artwork and my latest Good Omens piece. +Slots are open until 15 August 2019, no exceptions. Whether or not the slots are full, I will be closing them after roughly one week. I figure if no one wants to bother in a week, then they won't bother after that point. I need money and I need money now, not in three months. +All commissions must be paid upfront through PayPal or KoFi. My normal policy is half up front and half upon delivery, but I can't afford the wait right now. But, because of this policy shift- +All commissions will be completed by 20 August 2019. Or you will be compensated for your wait with an extra doodle or small character sketch. I'm not going to say that there won't be delays, since I'm expecting to hopefully getting a couple interviews in the interim and those will take time, but usually this art style doesn't take me incredibly long and roughly 2 completed pieces per day seems pretty feasible. Please note that I am still open for my general commissions and donations are ALWAYS welcome, so if you're interested in something quick and cheap, do feel free to check out my rates and drop me a note. Available Slots: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

quick change of plans

anyone who wants to donate to me to help put me through college, 50% of that money is going to my niece and nephew

the reason is is so that they can eat every week, because my mom doesn't understand that she doesn't have the money to make this huge meal for people that come over every couple of week and i just want my babes to be able to have food

so if you can donate, that'd be great. i'd use patreon if i actually understood how to use it, but you can always dm me for my paypal or donate to my ko-fi.

either of these would be greatly appreciated. thank you for considering this, and i'm sorry about askin yall to donate a lot.

i'll make a full list of things i can do for donaters in a little bit, but everyone who donates at least 3$ (minimum kofi donation) will get a halfbody sketch in my round style

Hello! As I’m always in need of money to help with basic things here at home, even small donations are welcome. So if you have any couple bucks to spare, here’s a link for small donations.

Works like this: you “buy me a coffee” on my Kofi page = $3 of donation. You can donate more by buying more coffees, but even one would be helpful.

I usually don’t put this link here (there’s already a permanent link on my blog), BUT For a little while if you put in the donation message a character from the list of shows/games I’ll put here, I’ll quickly sketch a bust of the character. It’s just a quick sketch though! So it won’t be in the way of my commissions. It’s just a fun little reward for whoever wanna donate to me! Here’s  the list of shows/games which I’ll draw characters from (after the cut):
