hello pals! im formally opening for commissions because i cant find a job and gas is too expensive to do gig work!!! yippee! please share if you can!
id love to do cyberpunk characters as it's my current interest, but i am open to other fandoms and OCs as well!
kink-friendly, N/S/F/W ok and encouraged, any body type
all prices are USD, more commission options below the cut, but here is the least expensive option i am offering:
sketch commission
- $45 for single character
- $70 for two characters
examples:
some stipulations on this type of comm below cut
- for the sketch option, it is up to my discretion if it should be full or 3/4ish body, depending on the pose, and this does not change the price
- elements of this drawing may be unrefined for both composition reasons and time reasons, and requests for these things to be lined or more detailed will only be considered for an increased price
---
i will be reaching out to the couple people who are currently in my queue to discuss this price increase, but the standard commission options and the option for a comic page are listed below:
standard illustration commission
ranging from 3/4 to full body depending on what is needed to express the poses, at my discretion (may include minor props or bg elements as needed; complicated elements or clothing may increase price)
the difference between this and a sketch comm is the amount of detail and polish for the drawings, factored in with the time it takes to do so
1 character:
- $80 for no color
- $130 for full color (includes lighting/shading and partial rendering)
2 chars:
- $130 for no color
- $190 for full color
more chars welcome, additional $40 per addl character
- can be turned into a comic, $20 flat rate per extra panel, color or not
examples:
---
full comic page
- starting at $220, ranging up to $300 depending on complexity
example of ~$220:
Thank you for reading to the end!
i am also available to do full illustrations including environments and backgrounds, but these prices would vary, so if you would like something that's off-menu, just reach out and we can discuss it!
payment is via paypal
i will draw pretty much anything except scat or underage characters, but if you have a specific question please reach out!
Normalise fooling around with your friends, at a distance and irl, life's short, get off together, hump each other, suck each other off, cockwarm them, send them clips of you stroking it, send them moans, give them a dick pic, just dirty talk each other, send each other dirty posts, get off like true friends should
when two musicians sing into the same microphone and lean in very close to each other… like omg are you guys gonna kiss now to relieve the homoerotic tension?😳
Okay, but this is really important: Bruce Springsteen occupied this really weird place in music history. His songs were all from this pessimistic, nihilistic view of an America that had let him down:
Just like the anti-Vietnam War protest songs that we associate with the 1960s, or the early nihilism that spawned punk music in the 1970s. But he didn’t *sound* like a punk anarchist; he sounded like a country rock singer. When he released Born in the U.S.A. people completely misinterpreted (or possibly ignored) the lyrics in favor of the tone of the music.
Politicians used his music to promote their ‘Murica Yes! brand, and he had to literally explain that that was not what he was about. He’s over here asking when we’re going to have jobs and heathcare, not stanning the politicians who weren’t helping the people.
It was also kind of a big deal that he had an integrated band, because even as late as the 1980s music was still kind of segregated and MTV was straight up racist. They refused to play and promote black artists and then claimed that were no black artists in the first place. Michael Jackson’s record company had to threaten a boycott of their white artists to get MTV to play his Thriller video.
Plus, the first black/white interracial kiss on TV was in 1968 (OG Star Trek). Also it took us until the 70s to get sympathetic gay characters on screen, and the 90s to get gay characters to kiss onscreen. And all of those firsts were met with outrage.
So keep that in mind when you see Bruce Springsteen not just playing with an interracial band, but engaging in an interracial, gay kiss on stage repeatedly.
Passages from American Popular Music by Larry Starr and Christopher Waterman
I used to think that Bruce and Clarence kissing onstage was exuberance, showmanship, and telling racist homophobes to fuck off. Like, they picked up a certain kind of audience and went “Racist homophobes? Not in our house!” And started the kissing then but then I actually looked it up and
It was a story where… we remade the city. We remade the city, shaping it into the kind of place where our friendship and our love for one another wouldn’t have been such an exceptional thing. - Bruce Springsteen
It wasn’t about showmanship or rejecting bigots or anything it was just. Damn right that was one of the loves of his life and damn right he was going to kiss him onstage
It gets me a little that Bruce has had a divorce, that he’s been married twice, but he loved Clarence for the rest of Clarence’s life and will presumably love him the rest of his own
Clemons said in one interview. “Bruce and I looked at each other and didn’t say anything, we just knew. We knew we were the missing links in each other’s lives. He was what I’d been searching for.” In another version of the story, Clemons says “He looked at me, and I looked at him, and we fell in love.”
I’m having some emotions about it!
“He was elemental in my life,“ Springsteen adds, “and losing him was like losing the rain.”
Not just! I love you pure and deep and true but! I am going to love you like that in front of the whole damn world!
We have fewer narratives about taking risks and making statements for platonic love rather than romantic and supposedly it would be easier to downplay this onstage than romance and! They refused! They fucking refused! In front of hundreds of thousands of people, over the course of years! In the spotlight, in word and deed, I love you!
