In your message, please indicate either through the subject line or the opening line that you are inquiring about a commission. Please include the type of commission you want and all references you have for me (including previous art or small reference sketches). Anything beyond what I have on offer can be discussed, whether it’s a smaller/simpler piece or if it’s a full-blown illustration.

Design Fee: $50-90 (details below cut)
COMMISSION TERMS OF SERVICE & DETAILS BELOW
DESIGN FEE: If I’m only given a written description, or if the images supplied do not give me enough of a starting point to which I don’t have to do much for my own research, a design fee will be applied to the final price. This is to reflect the time and effort that is spent on research and design. To avoid the fee, please be as precise with what you want as possible. Having to look up a few small things is fine, but it’s harder to build a design based on a “vibe.”
DETAILED FEE: If a design is incredibly complicated (such as intricate patterns, an overabundance of props, added background detail beyond a solid color/simple pattern etc) an extra fee maybe added to be discussed before the commission takes place. If I get creative afterwards of my own volition and you think my addition looks cool (or even if you’d prefer I keep it simple) an extra charge won’t be added.
PAYMENT: Invoice will be sent at the start, and half of full payment must be sent before work can begin. Once the design is finalized by screenshot preview, the final half of payment must be sent before hi-res files are distributed. Tips are welcome but not required. (See cancellation policy below for more info)
PROCESS: At each stage of the drawing, I will send an update to ensure it is going smoothly. If there are a lot of big changes being made, especially at the later stages, I may charge an extra $10 per subsequent change to reflect the additional time and effort.
FILE TYPES: I am able to accommodate most file type requests. If a CMYK file is needed, I can easily send a printable version (for personal use only).
USAGE: This commission is for personal use only. YOU MAY NOT: pass off the image as your work, use it on merch, remove the signature, sell the work/design, use for NFTs/crypto/AI practices in any capacity. The image may be shared on other social media sites, but you must provide credit and/or a link back to me. I will ask permission before I post the commission on my twitter and my website.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Full refunds are only acceptable at the sketching stage. At the line art stage and beyond, only half refunds are available. Once the product is mostly finished, no refund is available. If the project is cancelled at the half-refund stage, I will still send you high quality versions of what has been completed.
not every mutual fits neatly into an archetypal medievalism but there are some mutuals that im like yeah addressing you as “my liege” would come strangely naturally
basically, i think the general rule of thumb is: if someone REALLY wants the blood that’s inside of your body, and they’re like… a vampire, or a dracula, or some sort of mansquito, then that’s probably okay. a dracula and a mansquito are made for removing things like blood and swords from inside your body. that’s basically fine.
if something wants to get at your blood, and they’re, say, some kind of murdersaurus, or maybe a really big frog, that’s where the problems start to arise. a really frog is not made for removing blood, and your blood knows this, which is why it is so vehement about wanting to stay IN your body instead of coming out.
unfortunately this will not deter a really big frog, because a really big frog is full of things like prizes, and value, and quite a lot of hatred, and it would REALLY rather like to replace any and all of those things with your blood, and basically by any means possible.
when i was a kid i was so mad all the time bc i thought someday i'd have to be somebody's wife i didn't know it was optional. is everybody reminding the young girls in their lives that it's optional.
is wanting to be a wife and mother a requirement for being a woman?
why might OP be annoyed with replies assuming that this post is about being aroace or transmasc if a woman doesn’t want to be a wife or mother?
are there reasons unrelated to sexuality and romantic interest that might make a woman not want to be a wife or mother?
are there reasons unrelated to gender identity and expression that might make a woman not want to be a wife and mother?
core concept: what is gender essentialism?
is it gender essentialism to imply that all women inherently want to be wives and mothers? could this be what OP is critiquing?
look at the notes OP responds to. is it gender essentialism to imply that being a wife and mother is so affixed to womanhood that to not want to be those things means you’re incapable of sexual/romantic feelings, or not a woman?
what trait are you perpetuating when you assume that women who do not want to be wives and mothers must be aroace or trans? is it gender essentialism?
incredibly pleased that everyone is following the instructions i forgot to give and reblogging to explain their choice in the tags 🙏 more of that please i want to know about your ocs and also i love you
First one is her jammies. Thin linen dress and big robe for comfort. Second is a more cold weather fit with a lazier braid, since she doesn't have a lot of energy when its cold. Third is actually her priestly garb as a devout follower of Maugra. (traditionally it would actually just be the jewelry, but these days people frown upon naked women walking around in public).
Background on Maugra and Safrax's relationship to her under the cut
Maugra is the virgin goddess of life, fertility, monsters, and numerous other things. She often is depicted as a giant black snake, hence the black snake leather in her garb. Safrax grew up in a very paganistic time, but she had a special connection to Maugra her whole life, and would have been sent to train to become a priestess in one of her temples if she hadn't been used as a human sacrifice. The piece of Maugra that was forcibly put inside her is still there, but the delineation between the two of them is incredibly blurred, so much so that Safrax decided they are no longer either of who they used to be, and gave this new merged being the name she uses to this day.
Safrax was only 15 when she came back to life. She came across a band of mercenaries, and they captured her when they caught her stealing their food. They were Starchafe like her, so they understood more than most how scared she must've been. Incredibly lucky for her. The one she trusted the most was Tom Charming, a man with some ulterior motives to his care for her, but who in the end, became a father figure in her life. He's the only one who knows everything about her.
Lore about dog people and Tom under the cut
In the world of Red Serpent, people are born with dog heads sometimes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ No rhyme or reason for it, and often these people are mistreated because werewolves are also a thing in this world (though they are VERY different beings). Sometimes it's just the head, sometimes they get the fur too, and even a tail, just kinda random. Safrax trusted Tom out of everyone in that group because her older brother had a dog head as well, though his was that of a wolfhound (and he didn't have the fur or tail).
Tom initially wanted to keep her around because she was the key to understanding more about the Blood Tower where she was found, something of an obsession of his. But his heart couldn't help grow soft for her over time. She's helped him with his research, and he's helped her get the lay of the land all these centuries in the future.
I think it could be cool to put together a board of the top Tumblristas in the world, that could see previews of what's coming up and advise on strategic direction. Who should be on it?
I am going to get this out of my system upfront so that I can explain everything that's wrong with this idea in a clearheaded way: This is a bad idea, it feels incredibly gross, and it reinforces my impression that you do not understand this website at all. It is indescribably frustrating and infuriating. It makes me want to vomit, and that's even before I get to "Tumblrista".
Now then.
A key takeaway from the massive amount of almost universally negative feedback to the reblog change should have been: Tumblr users do not, as a rule, care about clout. We do not want quantified "credit" for how good our addition to a post is, and we don't want influencers who are anointed as more important than everyone else because they are popular. That's not what we do here; it's never been what we do here. If we wanted that, we could get it from ANY other social media. The fact that we're here instead makes it pretty clear that clout is not important to us, and in fact is actively repulsive to us. Anointing particular Tumblr users as "top Tumblristas" and putting them on an "advisory board" that gets special access to new features and the opportunity to give feedback on them would constitute the exact type of hierarchy we despise.
Furthermore: When a corporate entity proposes an "advisory board of power users", what they're actually doing is trying to pre-empt wider user pushback against executive decisions, by creating the illusion of user buy-in while using social pressure to enforce decisions that have already been made. The actual reasoning behind selecting "top" users is because they are popular, which suggests they have influence over other users. The idea is, rather than convincing the community as a whole, you convince a smaller subset of influential people, and then they convince everyone else. Again, this depends on a kind of hierarchy and clout-based "influencer" system that we don't have and don't want.
As for the "top users" board themselves: By choosing someone and telling them "you're a Top User and you get to be on the special committee and have special privileges," you are giving them something (supposedly) desirable: social status, (the appearance of) influence and power, etc. And you can take it away. That means now you have power over them. If they don't want to lose their special status, they will avoid displeasing you. Which means they are less likely to give you significant pushback, and they are more willing to pressure others to go along with what you want to do. That makes them incredibly useful to corporate, but completely undermines their supposed role as a voice for the community. We see this already with influencers on every other platform, who become de facto spokespeople for corporations and brands and stop meaningfully criticizing them out of fear of losing the access that is critical to their status.
I'm not saying all this because I think it's news to the CEO of a tech company. I think you know all of that perfectly well already. I'm saying it because I think you assume we don't know it, and because some people might not. But I have played this game before and I know how it goes. It never benefits the community. It is always a way to control the community.
You do not need an advisory board to get feedback about site changes. The community is demonstrably perfectly able and willing to speak for themselves individually. If you really want to know what everyone thinks, you have to ask everyone, not a handpicked group of influencers who are under pressure to play along.
Wanted to do some doodles of some other NPCs. Drusin is the local lord that Safrax does work for, and she is also now a part of his court. They have a bit of a flirtationship, much to the irritation of his wife. he's a simp for milfs
Decimus is his captain of the guard, and is very nervous around Safrax. He's not really used to being around women, and Safrax is very terrifying. But unfortunately for him his friend and fellow guard Varo has entered a relationship with Safrax's ward Anneke and they both have...... concerns.

Throw yourself to the sword
Take what's mine, then I take two times more
All who were present during the rebellion remember the witch Safrax. A truly terrifying force to behold, a witch in her domain of War, launching spears of lightning into the enemy lines as her own blood poured down her body. Her enemies regard her with hatred, allies regard her with awe, but both deep down feel one thing: fear.
-- The child was born in our lands. It's life is ours. We will take care of it from here.
-- Of course. I wouldn't want to make a bad first impression.
-- Ohhh you couldn't. We knew you already. Safrax. Friend to the New Gods.
The monstrous noble that Anneke killed? She had a child. It was already fed human blood. Varro offered to drown it so to not bloody Safrax's hands, but she refused. This was important for her to do, and its too late for her anyway. The God of Iron, Arlum Harn, sent an emissary to take the child from her. It was born on their lands, after all. It belonged to them. Safrax did as she was asked, and placed the child in the maw of the iron crocodile, in a bouquet of human faces. Relief washed over her, one more reminder of her own past now gone to the depths of the river.
