My Commissions!

Updated prices + info, unless stated otherwise I’m always open for requests, so feel free to reach out!

Just trying to workshop what’s best to get people interested

A bunch of examples of my work provided under the cut, with prices in the alt text!

These are all pieces I did for myself, as I don’t have any commission examples to show, so the quality may differ for the art I give you! (As in, I’d put in a lot more effort for you than myself- I would rather die than give a half baked product to someone)

Redesigning my alien OC!!

I was feeling unhappy with how human his original design looked so I explored a less mammalian version

Xybil is from a species that are a splice of insects and reptiles. The unplated parts of their bodies are covered in soft scales.

They technically have both male and female characteristics, and therefore don’t have gendered pronouns like we do, but while Xybil was learning different Earth languages he chose to use he/him pronouns because he liked how they sounded.

He’s also humanity’s BIGGEST superfan. As the biologist of his crew, he grew a special interest for humans. Mayybe too much of an interest though… when his project suddenly was thrown under fire he jumped ship and fled to Earth, very quickly falling for a human man. He’s very much so considered a monster lover in the eyes of the rest of his kind, he’s weird and proud about it.

Some new angel OCs!!

Lore + close ups under the cut :3

AnGl_2013_42913 (his friends call him Angie) is a Cherubim class mechanical angel made by the tech god Logic.

It was created without a soul, but after a chance meeting with a human child, a friendship built, and their subsequent passing, Angie gained a soul of its own.

Despite Logic’s attempts, He has been unable to “fix” Angie, and has instead demoted him to the lower rank of Principality as to avoid dealing with his now human-like behavior.

Kasaiel the Flame Angel is a Cherubim class angel of the nature goddess Tera. Originally created as a Power, Kas possesses the ability to transform into animal form- hers inspiring the myths of phoenixes and the hō-ō.

Kas was promoted to the position of Cherubim as Tera’s forces waned, and gained a second set of wings as a reward.

Kas and Angie are best friends! They met after Angie’s demotion and have been inseparable since, Kas builds Angie into the more rebellious and laid-back person he is.

Working on the final Pelhai lore post for tiktok… idk if I cooked with this cover or not but I’m just glad it’s done because I’ve been putting off drawing it for TOO LONG lmao

Goddess of the MoonWings, Omah Lu

Some nude model studies from today

I haven’t done one of these in a while, never posted these kinds of drawings either, but I was really proud of how a few of these turned out!

I had gotten some new ballpoint pens today and wanted to do something fun with them, and I think they lend really well to practices like this so that I don’t get bogged down in editing mistakes :)

Mmm fimsh

ShoalWing cover, been struggling to get their lore out to tiktok for a variety of reasons (those reasons mostly being Baldur’s Gate and Stardew Valley…)

[borderlinezero]

Haven’t had much to post because I’ve been busy making maps for Pelhai, I have so so many to make… but here are three I’ve completed!

The Shimmering City- the capital of the MornWing kingdom. It’s split into three tiered rings: Ring Trove is mostly residential for middle class citizens, Ring Carat is mostly shops and businesses, and Ring Splendor is for nobility, high end shops, and the monastery.

The Evening District- the first level of the underground MoonWing capital, this is mostly neighborhoods with a handful of smaller general shops. All of the eggs of the lower levels are brought to the hatchery tower, and all of the pupating MoonWings are kept in the pupation tower for safety.

The Dusk District- the second level of the underground MoonWing capital. This level is much larger, and is mostly used for businesses- though many adults without dragonets make their homes here, and it has multiple apartment style buildings. It is also home to the kingdom’s largest shrine to their goddess, Omah Lu.

Blueberry Pancakes

Buckley takes the alien he found along with him to his diner and gives them their first human meal- fresh blueberry pancakes, his specialty.

FINALLY got the motivation to finish this scene, and I’m pretty happy with it all things considered :3

I need need need to write their story at some point… hopefully it’ll be a book someday if I can actually sit myself down and get it done
