Commissions Open, 1 Slot Left! + Patreon Launched!

Hey everybody! Lots of news this time around, hopefully I can keep it all organized!

Commissions Open

I'm opening up for commissions again, starting with 3 slots this time around! If you'd like to grab something, just take a look over at my price list and terms of service, then send me a note with all the info (refs and descriptions) that you've got! 

Slots Open: 1 1. aflockofseagulls 2. thunderkid92 3. --

Patreon Open

I'm also happy to announce that I'm launching a Patreon! It's going to be pretty bare-bones to start, but I'll be adding extra rewards and pledges as time goes on. Right now it's serving as a tip-jar and a place to grab high-res versions & .PSDs of all my work. Here's a quick summary of the current pledge rewards: $1.00 - Tip Jar! Nothing except my gratitude $2.00 - See my gallery uploads 1 week in advance! $3.00 - See my uploads 1 week early, in high-res! $5.00 - All of the above, plus you get the original .PSD files for each image at the end of the month If any of those catch your eye, head on over and take a look! I've got a couple of high res images up there already, and there'll be a new one every Friday from now on! 

Scheduled Streams & Uploads

I'll be uploading a new image to my Patreon every Friday, which will be posted to here on Tumblr (and over at my main galleries on DeviantArt and FurAffinity) a week later, at a smaller size. I'll also be streaming every Thursday at 4:00pm EST on my Picarto, with a break around 7:00pm for about 30 minutes to an hour.

Upload Backlog

If you noticed me uploading a huge amount of images (for me, at least) on my FurAffinity, that's just me taking care of my backlog! I've been doing some work here-and-there during my time as Porin's assistant/ manager, but I kept forgetting to post any of it to my galleries! That's being taken care of right now, so there's some vintage pics going up in my FA gallery!

Alright, I think that covers... as much as I can remember to cover, at least for the moment! If you've got any questions, leave a comment here or shoot me a note and I'll answer them as best as I can!

Change of Plans!

Hey everyone!

Porin and I have had a pretty long-running conversation going about how we’d like to handle/ grow our respective accounts, and after a lot of discussion we’ve decided to try something out! For the next little while I’ll be handling the administrative side of her account, while she handles the artistic side of things!

What that means for my own account is that (for the upcoming trial period) I’ll no longer be accepting new commissions. Anything that’s currently on my plate will still be finished up, but I’ll no longer be accepting new work (whether it’s a stand-alone image or part of a larger sequence), at least for the month of February!

This doesn’t mean I’m disappearing though! I’ll still be posting existing work as it’s completed, and the shift from being an actively commissioned artist will (ideally) mean that I have more time for shoring up my own art skills. There’s a couple areas that I’m a bit weak in right now, and as much as I enjoy doing this full-time, it also means I haven’t got quite as much sit-down-and-study time as I’d sometimes like! I’m still going to be taking on some smaller pieces here and there as well, although that won’t be until we’ve settled into our new routine a bit more.

Overall this is a pretty dramatic (and scary) change to make to the way we each approach work, but we think it’s worth a shot! How well this February goes will decide how long this goes on for, so wish us luck!

I don’t have any OCs, but there are a few things that I’d like to give some much-needed attention to! The next couple weeks are going to be a bit busy though, so I can't give any specifics quite yet!

Commission Update: Prices Lowered, Slots Full!

Hey everyone!

I'm opening up 3 2 1 slot for cel-shaded commissions, available immediately! For anyone that's interested, take a look over at my (newly updated) price-list, and send me a note with your info!

I've made a few changes to the way I structure my prices, with the aim of making things both easier to read and more affordable in certain areas!

Weight classes have been simplified from "A/ B/ C/ D" to the much more easily-understood "Mobile/ Barely Mobile/ Immobile" range

As a result, some larger weights (like the former "Class B") now fall under "Mobile", and cost significantly less than before!

Face panels are now officially available, starting at $25.00 USD!

Wing-it sketches can now be done as full-body images (previously only thigh-up was available)

I know its been a while, but are those updated Overwatch pictures in the works?

They’re (unfortunately) on hold for the moment! I’m in the middle of digging myself out of a bit of a financial hole in the ground, but the plan is to return to the pack once things have stabilized. 

That’ll mean finishing the upgrades that have been funded so far (D.Va & Zarya), and (hopefully) putting together some additional images for heroes who have been released in the interim (Ana & Sombra)!
