#recent finished commissions :)

[salamispots]

hmmm probs won't go with this style but we'll see

[sergle]

you talk about commissions and client work plenty but you don't really post any art. what's up with that

order of operations, sorted by importance: 1. you are a very unpleasant person and people don't like to talk to you if they can help it 2. people ask about this sometimes! I'm very neurotic about this actually, because I prefer to only post Finished Commissions when I'm open for NEW ones, and right now I'm really just trying to work through my queue. so, maybe 1 out of every 10 clients will ask that their commission be kept private, so I don't ever post those. THE REST I HOARD. anytime you post a finished commission, you're inherently promoting yourself as an artist who takes commissions, and I try not to do that until I've given myself enough room to take on a significant amount of work 3. I don't make a lot of non-work art (sticker art, promo art, commission art, etc) these days because I'm sick and twisted in the head, unmedicated, and also I have carpal tunnel

(ID in alt) I literally said I was gonna post this month's ago and then never had the wherewithal to describe it and so I didn't Lmao (said with pain). But since I'm thinking of opening my commissions I figured I should remind ppl that I. Yknow. Can draw.

Lots of Steph here (I had major art block making all of these and my brain worms for her kept me going) + some sprinkles of stephcass for Cass nation to enjoy!

to the next stage of our adventure! digimon survive week 2024 day 7: post-game / future personal thoughts under the cut - less about the artwork and more about shuuji and lopmon themselves. a long rambling containing major spoilers and heavy topics. will cause whiplash. proceed with caution.

other than the fact this may be boring and long-winded, cw and tw: there will be mentions of self-harm and suicide. if these topics make you uncomfortable, please step back. if you're sure, then alright. i'm aware this is a weird place to ramble about shuuji and lopmon considering the notorious highlight of their story would match the themes of day 5 (villains) and day 6 (dark & loss) better. unfortunately (ironically?) i never planned to feature them for those days, so... pretty sure i'm not the only one feeling this, but when i discovered that a good part of the fandom seems to loathe shuuji with utmost passion, even after they claimed to have completed the game, i was confused. the way his death happened and (understanding) the cause made me uncomfortable for a while, but never drove me to the point of hate... once i recovered from the initial shock, what i felt towards him was more pity, then respect (on truthful route). i feel shuuji should have been one of the most appreciated characters in survive. yet it was the opposite that happened. (between you and me though, knowing there was this discourse with the fact digimon survive is a visual novel, i'm not that surprised it turned out this way...) from my point of view, lopmon evolving into wendimon then killing shuuji symbolizes suicide, the act of taking one's own life. it was the climax of shuuji's mental breakdown, leading him to basically self-destruct, causing damage to everyone around him and ultimately himself. lopmon evolved, just like he hoped. but failed to do it like other kemonogami partners (maintaining control of themselves and fending off enemies). the next and final outcome was death, through his own partner actually eating him alive too. it reminds me how when someone thought they have prepared well for something important yet it failed spectacularly, the devastation and frustration would eat them in the same way from inside. and they probably would for one second think, "i'm better off dead". the more i pondered about it, the more it hit home, so of course, the last thing i could do is hate him, when his struggles sound similar to my own - having to rely on consistent achievements to prove your value, to feel you are worth living and not a waste of resources. the part where shuuji went all abusive on lopmon felt like the equivalent of pushing yourself to the extreme to reach your goal, to the point of neglecting your own needs. it's like a student so absorbed in their study, sacrificing food and sleep, until their body eventually snaps and shuts down for good (...this in fact happened to one of the students at my previous workplace. she was in her last year of high school. life was just about to truly start for her when her classmate informed us of her sudden death). even in truthful route where shuuji and lopmon survive that point, things aren't immediately nice and easy for him. you can see that he still has self-doubts, and what i think is impostor's syndrome. he could be making a great contribution to the team and still put himself down for having done "nothing". i have found it interesting that artists and writers tend to be especially fond of shuuji. so perhaps it's not just the matter of one's upbringing - whether you were raised in a harsh, competitive environment and/or with family with (unreasonably) high standards so you can relate more easily to him - but also whether one can see just what every struggle shuuji and lopmon went through symbolizes shuuji's mental state. out of all survive characters, i think shuuji and lopmon pulled off this thing called "surviving" the hardest, no joke. which is why i almost always gravitate to drawing them happy because that's what they deserve :') after all this, what i also would like to say is, it's okay if a character makes you uncomfortable. it's okay if you hate a character. but never, ever bring down the character to people who like them or even consider them their favorite or comfort character. if you must, do it in your own space and only with like-minded people.

The Hunt — commission for a family friend :) Pen, marker, and pencil

[mari-lair]

My plan is to do one commission, then one art for myself, and then repeat! Unless I get hit by the tiredness beam, then I will prioritize only doing commissions.

Commission from twitter !

Behold: an updated commission sheet with new pricing for the new year 💚

If you have any questions about my pricing or what subjects I’d be willing to draw, please don’t hesitate to send me a message! I have 3 slots available, but if my slots fill up and my commissions close again, please check back in in a few weeks to see if my availability has opened up, or send me a message to see if one will be opening up soon.

Some notes that wouldn’t fit on the sheet:

Please let me know if you need a project completed by a certain date right away; it usually takes me several months to complete a commission, so I’d like to know if there’s a deadline ahead of time so I can plan accordingly

I listed mecha and complex backgrounds as things I won’t do, but that’s not a hard rule! If you’d like to approach me with a more complex project, I’d love to work with you and see if it might be something I can do (possibly for an additional fee if necessary)

I usually take payment via PayPal invoice, but I also have Venmo and Ko-fi. I am also totally willing to work with you to set up a payment plan if that’s something that might interest you!

I offer a 30% discount for repeat customers! :) 💚 If you’ve ever commissioned me for anything in the past even if it’s been a while, this goes for you too xoxo
