commissions OPEN!! FINALLY!! YAYYYYY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in three levels: SKETCH, BASIC, and RENDER. full terms, plaintext, and art examples under the cut!! more art examples on my page, but these ones are organized so it's easy for you to see what you'll get!

important: if you use PayPal or Cashapp, DO NOT WRITE COMMISSION AS THE REASON FOR PAYMENT. They've been known to hold or entirely revoke payment for commissioned artworks.

sketch plaintext and examples:

The actual "drawing" of the character with 1-3 colors of pencil to separate parts. $10 for a headshot, $12 for halfbody (hips/waist up, depending on the character), and $15 for full.

basic plaintext and examples:

The colors of the character only, with no or minimal shading. $20 for a headshot, $25 for halfbody, and $30 for full.

render plaintext and examples:

A "finished" piece with full shading. $30 for a headshot, $35 for halfbody, $40 for full.

terms plaintext and extended:

For two or more characters in a drawing, +50% price for each character. +50% price also for a detailed collage style background. No charge for gradients or pattern style background. DO NOT RESELL OR FEED TO AI. Post with credit wherever you like.

WILL DRAW: Furries (anthro or feral), humans, MLP.

WON'T DRAW: Real people (unless permission given), mech or detailed armor.

I can take payment through PayPal, Cashapp, or Ko-fi.

My ko-fi is here, but I'm not giving out my PayPal or Cashapp through tumblr. If you want to contact me for a commission, please do it through ko-fi, email me at [email protected], or message me on Discord at demi_dem0n. If you message me through Tumblr or reply to this post I WILL NOT SEE IT because my notifications have been broken for months.

In order to deter scams, you're gonna have to calculate payment yourself, because this is something I've noticed scambots are unable to do. Let's go through with an example because math is hard: You want a basic, halfbody commission. That's $25. You want me to draw two characters, so we do 25 + (25/2) to reach $37.5 at this stage. If you wanted any more, you would add an extra 25/2 for every extra character. You also want a detailed collage background. To make things simple, this means adding 25/2 again, NOT 37.5/2. So our total math is 25 + 2(25/2). That would make a total of $50. When requesting a commission, please say what it's going to cost in your message. If you don't, I'm gonna ask you to do the math yourself. It's alright to get it wrong, you just have to try, and if you message me asking how much commissions are, I will not draw you anything because I will assume you are a bot who is incapable of reading my post.

(btw, I'm open to nsfw commissions, but I haven't practiced drawing nsfw enough yet and don't feel comfortable enough in my skill to advertise it openly.. but if you want me to try, I'm game. No extra charge until I get confident enough in my skill to openly advertise myself as a nsfw artist.)

This is why aliens don’t want us in their Starfleet.

[carebewear]

Are you fucking kidding this is why aliens should be begging us to join their Starfleet. The precision?? The CONTROL?? The absolute mastery this driver has over their 20+ ton of steel is superhuman. This person could weave a mothership through an asteroid belt without making a single scratch on the hull. Foh “aliens don’t want us” aliens should be sucking our dicks.

tagging/content warning systems for media are often mocked outside of fanfic which is kind of too bad because i do think it'd be a really interesting vector of literary analysis to examine what the author or publisher thinks they should be informing their audience about vs. the actual content of the media in question

[valtsv]

tagging my work devoid of any explicit sexual content as "dubcon" and sitting back to watch people fight over what i could have meant by this like i'm a roman emperor watching gladiators being devoured by lions in the coliseum

legalize copyright infringement

to be clear this is a fully sincere political belief that I have. I am pro copyright infringement and in fact anti "asking for permission to make derivative art"

Have you experienced the Tetris Effect in any way?

The Tetris effect occurs when someone dedicates substantial time, effort, and concentration to an activity and thereby alters their thoughts, dreams, and other experiences not directly linked to said activity.

[calyxcurl]

More on this

People who have played Tetris for a prolonged amount of time can find themselves thinking about ways different shapes in the real world can fit together, such as the boxes on a supermarket shelf or the buildings on a street. They may see colored images of pieces falling into place on an invisible layout at the edges of their visual fields or when they close their eyes. They may see such colored, moving images while falling asleep, a form of hypnagogic imagery. For some, this creative urge to visually fit shapes together by organising and building shapes can be extremely addictive.

Those experiencing the effect may feel they cannot prevent the thoughts, images, or dreams from happening.

A more comprehensive understanding of the lingering effects of playing video games has been investigated empirically as game transfer phenomena (GTP).

Yes!! When I was at university I played so much Guitar Hero that I would see everything shifting vertically in the way that the notes come at you on the track.

"no one is owed anything, except for me who is owed your money"

[finalgirlianthe]

this might be a bit of a shock for american authors but your right to your intellectual property does not take precedence over our right to read whatever the fuck we want and your shit wouldn't be half as popular as it is if it weren't for piracy

[ssontag]

I don't know this author or her work & also this is going to get me crucified but she is 100% right. The idea that you should be able to use the fruits of someone's labor for free is entitlement. For some reason everyone on this "leftist" site forgets that if someone does not get to reap the (financial) rewards for their own work, that is a form of injustice and will lead to alienation.

Yes, you can make very valid arguments for pirating textbooks, medical texts or other books that are necessary for your survival or the betterment of your life. But as everyones derogatory comments in the notes already show, we all know Booktok books don't fall in that category. If you think you have a right to read because reading will make you more intelligent or empathetic, you still must admit that some books have no such effect. They're just entertainment, and thats fine, but it's also a luxury! It is not something you NEED, let alone something you have some unalienable right to. And honestly I don't even care that much if you pirate a book (some people really cant afford to buy it or have no other way to access it), but to act as if you deserve to read everything you want for free even though you could afford to buy it, is pure entitlement.

Someone being upset that you're significantly undermining their livelihood isnt ridiculous. If you can see why artists deserve to have high rates for their commissions (because they put a lot of skill and time and effort into their work), then why can't you apply that logic to writers? Even if you think their work is bad, they did put in the hours. And so did their editors, the cover illustrators, the marketing team and everyone else at the publishing house. Do none of these people deserve compensation for their work? Do you really believe that no one who pirates a book might otherwise have bought it, or could have borrowed it from a library? What is it about books that makes you feel like you're owed free access to them?

[kinavu]

If you want to talk about exploitation of writers (and their team's) labour here, i suggest you point fingers at the publishing houses that hardly allow these people to have a cut of the profits from book sales, rather than the people who are barred from being able to access knowledge around the world for one reason or another. If you are able and want to support the author financially you are better off finding their social media and checking if they have a patreon you can pledge yourself to, rather than expecting the publishing houses to share a decent cut with them.

Small booktok authors aiming their frustration with the capitalist system that exploits them at the people who are barred access from information is ridiculous, and frankly they only serve the global push right now to cut off our access to the repositories that have copies of ANY of these books, not just the booktok ones.

[hagiomoto]

The fruits of your labor are realized the moment your publisher prints your books and places them on bookstore shelves. That is the product of your work. At that point, your contractual obligation has been fulfilled, and you have been compensated according to the agreement you made with your publisher.

You are not entitled to perpetual "rent" from every person who encounters your work. It is unreasonable to demand payment from people who have no ability to pay. A right to be compensated for creating a work is not the same as a right to extract payment from every possible reader forever.

Once your books leave the publisher's printers, they become physical objects circulating in the world. You no longer have the authority to dictate every use of those objects. People may lend them to friends, donate them to libraries, resell them to used bookstores, or give them away. None of these actions requires additional payment to you because your compensation was tied to the creation and publication of the work, not to every subsequent transfer or use.

The same principle applies to digital copies. If someone uploads your book to the internet and it reaches people who would never have purchased it in the first place, that does not necessarily deprive you of income. Your payment came from the publishing agreement that enabled your work to be printed, distributed, and sold. The existence of a digital copy does not automatically create a new obligation for every recipient to pay you, particularly when they lack the means to do so.

The value created by your labor is the book that enters circulation through publication. That is the tangible product of your work and the basis on which you are compensated. Digital copies shared among people who cannot afford to buy the book do not generate additional value from which further payment can reasonably be demanded.

The fruits of your labor are the books that reach the marketplace through publication—not every digital copy that exists afterward.
