After some long thinking and setting everything back up to run smoothly, I am opening commissions again! Life is gonna change dramatically in a couple of months, and job hunting hasn't really been fruitful...so i hope opening these will help me stay afloat just for a bit more.
All info and more examples are in the link under 'My Site' on my page. Thank you guys for the support and liking my art! i hope to do good work for you all!
Alright y'all im going off net for the next 5 days because alskjfdhljk i gotta WAIT to play chapter 5 for stream *SOBS* enjoy deltarune tomorrow and please no spoilers ✌✨ have a doodle til then:
*Lorem - [Check] don't call them a dummy! They're highly qualified!
before chapter 5 drops!! i just wanted to throw my addisona-turned-OCish out there for the longest and wrapped up slapping colors on here and a semi-final design! Notes and background 👇
putting my graphic design degree to work lsajkhdf IT'S A LOT BUT LOREM HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS SINCE OCTOBER OUGH.
Lorem (They/she) is the personification of Lorem Ipsum or 'Dummy Text', placeholder text used often in design (print, web, and publishing). Mostly to see how text fix in a space and or showcase fonts. It's often left in behind the scenes or replaced with proper text in final presentation (unless you got a very lazy or overworked designer wheeze).
With this in mind! Lorem is like a design assistant who is constantly hard at work making sure things look professional / to their client's liking, but always in the background. Not quite seen, DEFINITELY never heard unless spoken to.
They were (conceptionally and plot wise) originally an Addison but definitely showed signs of failing at their purpose much like Spamton. Picture the art kid that got into graphic design/marketing when that is 500% NOT what they wanted to do. They have good visuals and some marketing luck but when it came to closing sales it just was never consistant (poor presentation execution, pitch was weak, low volume, etc).
Lorem eventually pivoted careers from sales to just strictly design and settled for a smaller and less front facing purpose. It's still kinda not what they wanted/soul sucking work but better than nothing.
Lorem's story intertwines with Spamton and Tenna (i'm having fun idc idc idc idc id--). Lorem was one of the rare few that would talk to Spamton back in his addison days (and let him be an on and off on again roomate -gasp-), they encouraged eachother during tough times. Eventually, Spamton made it big and that was an inspiration boost for Lorem to keep pursuing their goals. They join Tenna and TV world a bit towards the end of the big shot era, after coming highly reccommended by Spamton. Tenna and Lorem click, mostly due to the fact that Lorem enjoys the bright, funky, and loud aesthetic around TV Time and doesnt tell Tenna to 'tone it down'. Like Tenna, they took Spamton disappearing very hard but they were more lucid/melancholy about it vs Tenna's crashout (considering Lorem isn't from TV world and can go back to Cyber World?) but hurt regardless still.
From here the plot is more murky, im not sure if i want them to go back to cyber world and actually know spamton's fate? or be left in tv world as a secret secret mini boss in the Z room backrooms wheeze. *shrug* i just like my toys....thank...
Design bits:
They DO lose saturation as the years go on/she is fully settled in her career as a designer.
Post career, they take on more aspects from design programs (picture adobe illustrator/photoshop and word)
so her belt buckle is a text cursor indicator,
the seam of their pants are the marquee tool when you go to select things in photo editing
Their cowlick is actually the different modes of the select cursor in adobe programs! it's just a tell sign of when Lorem is being (white cursor) professional/masking and when they are being honest with their emotions/mask slipping (black cursor)
