Commission Info [x2 combo]!

Alright, let's take it from the top--

Hello! I'm Argie (pronounced "R.G."), also known as "Zo," and I am a digital artist and special needs tutor. I have degrees in Cognitive Science, Psychology, and Communication Disorders, as well as a certification in 2D animation. I can draw almost anything, buuuut I'm not a fan of drawing any sexual type stuff, so kindly don't ask me to draw that sort of thing.

I mostly do cartoony style artwork, and I pride myself on both quality and speed.

I generally charge about $30 an hour, not including basic discussion before the artwork begins. I only charge via the clock while I am actively drawing, and you may feel free to watch via screenshare and give commentary or corrections in real time to keep the time low. This is charged at the start of each hour, and I'll happily give you the image thus far at each hourly checkpoint. That said, this price is very negotiable if you're planning on using the art for commercial purposes, for a percentage of profits instead. Feel free to DM me to discuss details on that, but please be reasonable about it and remain cordial.

Below are some examples of my work in various styles, and since I charge on an hourly basis, how long each piece took me to draw.

I've actually been looking forward to this birthday for years. Why? Because I've been told over and over from all over that this is when things really start to get better in one's life. Stability! Love! Potential jobs taking you seriously! And more and more, I hear it from people whose twenties were a hellscape like mine, so my hope for the future only soars upward from here!

Make fun of me for being old all you like; I've had bad legs since I was eight and used a cane regularly since 22. I've had old lady joints since I was 12, and I've been using archaic vocabulary my whole life. I've been "kids these days"ing since college. I'll laugh at you for the attempt.

(Plus, people in my family seem to age incredibly slowly. I just stopped getting carded at R rated movies a couple years ago.)

I'm excited to turn thirty. For once, I revel in this birthday.

This is an Amazing Digital Circus sona.

Don't expect to see much more of her.

This is Valentin, pronounced "Valen-tin." She's very small, and baby-shaped, mostly based off of the Wowwee Robotics Robosapien V2 that I had as a kid.

I was inspired particularly by Caine's statement that all of the avatars in the circus were built by a program "perfectly encapsulating [the circus residents'] mind files," meaning that the avatar form is based entirely on idiosyncrasies of the individual it depicts. Below is an explanation of why mine looks like this, keeping that Caine quote in mind.

Mine is based very heavily on being very, very used to (and hating) other people seeing me as much younger and more immature as I am; I am the youngest of my entire extended family, still get called the "baby" of the family, got carded to see R rated movies when I was in my twenties, and people still assume I am in high school on a regular basis whenever I go to new places. (I am nearly 30 years old, so this is frankly ridiculous.) As such, I made her very baby-themed, but I also heavily based the design on aspects of Chibi Moon from Sailor Moon, as it was a show that my whole family watched practically religiously when I was a child, and I got outright "assigned" Chibi Moon as which character I would be.

The ankles are nonexistent; I actually have a partially collapsed skeletal structure in my lower legs that causes me to need AFO leg braces. Thus, the necessity for the character to waddle is doing double-duty on this one.

There are actually four ears; the heart ears, and the headphone holes. The idea is that this represents my auditory processing issues-- all four ears give too much sound, while just the headphones with the heart ears broken off is not enough sound.

The pink and purple is specifically due to my pretending to have the pink/purple color combination as a favorite when I was a kid, because I thought that that was what's "normal" for little girls when I was younger. I actually found it quite garish and annoying, leading to me hating a lot of my clothing and room decorations while pretending to like them. Being haunted by those colors sounds downright awful.

It is entirely intentionally unclear what animal this thing is supposed to be.

Throcky Doodle Dump #2

It's been some time, but my style's shifted a little bit. And in these, Throcky's a little older. Likely closer to 16-17, rather than 14-15.

His design hasn't really changed much, but some things have definitely solidified harder over time.

Hey, another one of these transformations! (Rich Prick hair gel included.) I think this one really shows off how much different he looks with practically no actual changes to his design. Boy can Clark Kent in plain sight.

It would be so funny to me for him to know etiquette and be super adamant about it when it comes up.

Forces Magic! Turn on that 360 night vision.

Throcky's from ~2008. What would he look like in 2025? I had a lot of fun with this.

He's explaining ectoplasm.

Throcky makes some of his own skateboards from scratch. Sometimes, like any artist, his mind can go blank on what to paint on the bottom of his latest board.

Hmmm….

Anyone feel like joining me in becoming madly obsessed with a sports anime that doesn’t exist?

Fictional sport anime???

Yes! Please tell me about DIVEBALL

What do you mean you dreamed the entire first season of a fictional sports anime

Why was the mafia involved

Sorry, Tumblr is anti sport. Even ones that are unisex 😔

The Mafia has a highschool girl who is basically a mission specialist and assassin. She has a group of highschool-drop-out-cronies that serve as her “team” (there’s like three of them) that go on missions with her.

One of the Main Team’s goalies accidentally gets caught up in her thing and is being targeted so the Main Team have to get together to save him through a complicated trap involving:

A: emptying 90% of the pool and filling it with mud

B: a truly ludicrous amount of mattresses

C: competitive style betting where one side becomes subservient to the other

And D: flat out cheating.

The Main Team wins and Mafia girl and cronies are forced to join the team.

(Side Note, she is tiny with a black bob cut and that is all I remember about her other than her being pretty enthusiastic about DIVEBALL once she got into it.)

Side side note: to be very clear. She is actively giving up her job of murdering people to play a sport in a shitty sport club.

Her Mafia father does not disapprove and actually gets the pool renovated after the whole mattress—swamp fight.

She is equally murderous about the shitty sport club as she is about mafia hits

[bubblegumbeech]

Okay character list as stands!!!

Captain: can’t really play the same anymore due to injury from a few years ago. He is 17 but looks almost 40 and has graying hair.

Mafia Girl: explained above. Comes with cronies

Prodigy: went to the HS before the original Diveball club was disbanded and changed schools when it did. Left a portrait of herself in the unused pool-room as a momento only for the Main Team to find it and try to convince her to come back to their shitty club away from the high end club/school she’s in now.

Goalie group: original members of the club, weren’t really into Diveball but got caught up in Captain’s enthusiasm and drive and are now stuck in the most difficult position on the team

Not-Barbie: pretty girl whose mother doesn’t approve of Diveball and would rather her just flirt and get a good boyfriend. She lies about Diveball to her mom as she gets muscled up and sneaks out to come to practice.

It’s very much a “DIVEBALL enthusiast at new Highschool starts club that was disbanded years ago for some reason and inspires other” style Shounen Anime.

Yes. This was literally ALL part of the one dream—-and there is more.

I'm having fun

I just want depictions of pristine Gwen being much more obviously sinister than broken Gwen, and broken Gwen being obviously much more human, rather than depictions of broken Gwen being scary and monstrous

Here's my sona (and IRL) for @pan-pizza 's Loki IRL. Designation Cyber Celestial would generally be called "Cyber" for short. I doubt I'd be anywhere near the best sketch fighter, but with how fast I can finish a sketch, I'm confident I'd be at least halfway decent!

If you haven't given Loki IRL a watch yet, I highly recommend it. It just bleeds passion and love for the medium, which I find incredibly inspiring. There's also an in-episode guide for making your own Loki IRL OC, which I followed to the best of my ability. 💕

I based Cyber not only on my usual robot-like sona Celeste (which I guess would make me a reasonable candidate for the Self Portrait House, lol), but also on things like WowWee Robotics products, Jenny from My Life as a Teenage Robot, Robotboy, and a couple of other sources. The legs were a combination of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Cartoon Cartoon series in general (but Him in particular for the heels), Megaman, and Astroboy. I also tried to take notes from Catrina's IRL in general body shape for mild style matching.

While the end result is more a mix of the show's style and mine, I had a lot of fun doing this, and I'll likely do more art of Loki IRL in the future.

Meet Trisha Shuwal.

Don't talk to her 'til she's had her coffee.

She's definitely a totally normal office worker in her thirties. Don't mind her. She also definitely isn't overworked and at the end of her rope.

I did this for fun.

An AU of an AU of my character Percy. Of sorts.
