Meet Aiden, a white dragonborn bard from Baldurs Gate! He's trans and his pronouns are he/they/it, and mine are the same (he's sort of a sona)!
He's probably Chaotic Good, he does what he thinks is right and sticks up for the little guy. He loves to write music and stories as most bards do and if he sees a child in need he will attempt adopting them whether the game allows it or not.
It is married to Gale and they have a little library/bookstore in Waterdeep together mostly stocked with books Aiden stole burrowed during their adventure.
Some of this stuff may change- I beat the game with Aiden once but it went rather atrociously, so I'm doing his canon run now. We're in Baldur's Gate, only a few days away from our true ending.
Feel free to send asks and stuff about Aiden! I will probably answer most in text posts, at least until I've finished the game again. I also might redo his ref, he looks way slimmer than in game and I don't like it. Also don't be too afraid of spoilers, I've already seen how the game ends and I think I've seen a majority of it, though id prefer no durge spoilers as I haven't done a full durge run yet!
I'll post art here, maybe some tidbits of writing that I like, and other silly stuff as well as gaming ramblings and some opinions or headcanons along the way!

Introduction
Howdy, the name's Oopsie! I'm a self taught artist from a low-income household who's been drawing pretty much my whole life, though I only started taking it seriously and really trying to improve when I was about eleven. I started off drawing dragons, wolves, Pokémon and other creatures, then I eventually learned to draw people too. I started playing Flight Rising in 2018, I love the community, the dragon designs, and writing lore and it's been one of my favorite pastimes for a long while. Being able to fund my projects and things in the real world through my art would be wonderful for me.
I'm a queer artist, strictly anti-AI, and I put my best into every piece. If you have any questions feel free to send me a PM or ping me in this thread, but you can also reach me on my other socials (I'm the most active here, on tumblr, and on discord).

Wills & Wonts
I WILL draw dragons (flight rising or otherwise), gijinkas, human(oid)s, anthros and furries. I will also do custom designs for these things. I can do banners, buttons, headers, dividers, pixel art, minimally animated gifs, simple drawings, scenes, and reference sheets. I'll also draw apparel and skins, and I'll design custom skins/accents.
I WONT draw complicated robots, mechs, or armor simply because I'm not confident in my abilities in this area and I want to deliver quality artwork to my commissioners. If you're not sure a robotic design is too complicated, feel free to shoot me a PM.
If your type of character isn't listed or you're just not sure, ask away!
FAQ
How long will my commission take?
Commissions will be completed in the order I receive them, and they can take anywhere from one week to one month. If you haven't received a message letting you know I'm starting on your commission or an initial sketch and you're first in the queue, please reach out. If it's been a month since I confirmed I would be starting your commission, please reach out.
What payment method do you use?
I use PayPal, and Ko-Fi works too.
Do I pay upfront or after the commission is completed?
Half of the payment will be required upfront, and the rest when the artwork is finished. You can choose to pay in full upfront if you'd like.
Why do you take half before you start and the rest when you finish?
This method protects both myself and my commissioner. If the commissioner does not respond after the commission is completed, I can assure that I have been somewhat compensated for my time. The commissioner can also be reassured that I will not get all of the payment until the work is completed.
How would you like to be credited?
A link to this post or my blog.
I don't want you to post my commission anywhere. Is that okay?
Yep, just let me know when you're telling me what you'd like. I'm also incredibly forgetful, so it's not a bad idea to remind me when I've finished.
How many commissions will you take at once?
Four for now, but I may take more or less dependent on size and my stress level.
Your examples are shaded in different styles! How will you know what style I want?
If a specific example piece catches your eye, let me know while you're ordering your commission and I'll shade in that specific style. I'll also probably ask when you add shading to your order.
What do you mean by 'outfit layers?'
For references, I can design the body and clothes on different layers. This is customizable- the more clothing layers you have, the more customization options you'll have for that character's reference sheet. Commissions with many layers will also receive the .kra file, so they can hide and show layers as they see fit.
What's the difference between an Outfit & Clothing Layer?
An outfit layer is multiple articles of clothing on a separate layer from the base, but the clothing pieces that it consists of can't be mixed and matched. Clothing layers are accessories or clothes all on their own layers, so you can mix and match those.
Terms of Service
By commissioning me, you agree to the following:
Do not erase my signature or watermark, and do not claim my work as your own.
Do not trace my work.
Absolutely do NOT feed my work into ANY Generative AI program.
When using art or assets made by me in dragon bios or forum signatures, please credit me. You may also use the art as profile pictures off site, but credit is still requested.
I will not start a commission without at least half of the payment.
You will receive a watermarked version of the art until the final half of the transaction is complete. Once you've paid in full you will receive an unwatermarked image along with an imgur or filegarden link, including all versions of the artwork.
You will receive updates during the drawing process and most heavily during the sketching process. You may ask that I change, remove, or add things at any time to a reasonable degree.
Refunds must be requested before the final sketch is approved and the line art process begins. If you decide to terminate the commission after the lining process has begun you will not be refunded, but you will be given the finished sketch and whatever line art is present. If you paid upfront in full, you will receive a half refund.
The final piece will be posted on my Tumblr and this thread unless requested otherwise.
Banners, buttons, and dividers will be watermarked if I post them.
Commissioned buttons, banners, and dividers can only be used by the commissioner UNLESS they request to have the asset available for free use.
The commissioner may use the buttons, banners, and dividers wherever and however they'd like (ie. in dragon bios, forum sigs, tumblr posts, etc).
I always forget there are maga people on tumblr, this doesn’t feel like a website you’d find them on, so to keep them away:
Reblog if your blog is a maga free zone because if it wasn’t clear enough fuck ice, fuck maga, fuck Trump, Fuck Rowling, and fuck all the other bigots I missed
…do you think, during his year of isolation, that Tara ever sat on Gale's chest while he was asleep and purred to try to heal the orb because it's like an ingrained biological cat type behaviour?
I love thinking about how in the game, the player character is referred to as "The Hero of Baldur's Gate" even though it was absolutely a group effort.
Then imagining Gale as a Professor teaching his students and one of them in class one day is like "Mr. Dekarios! Is it true that you're married to the Hero of Baldur's Gate?"
And Gale just looks utterly flabbergasted like, "You do know that I am ALSO one of the Heroes of Baldur's Gate, right?"
