So... y'all know I don't take commissions or typically do art trades. I love making gift art, but only when I can work at my own pace. The only exception I've made to this in the past was for Art Fight; I like to set aside July to really focus on drawing for others, and I would always prioritize revenging attacks.
But, I am not doing Art Fight this year.
There are a lot of reasons, but the main one is that I don't really have the bandwidth right now to draw for random people outside of the tickle community. I like doing general art sometimes, but I'm not a general artist. I'm a tickle artist. That's where my passion is, and I'd rather focus on drawing for people in my own community this July.
So, how can you get art from me next month? I am so glad you asked! Before we get to the submission process, let's talk about guidelines.
[[No minors, and DO NOT reblog this to non-tickle blogs, please! This is for the tickle community only. See more info under the cut!]]
Guidelines
If you would like art from me next month, please be sure to read and abide by these guidelines. If I receive submissions that go against these guidelines, they will be deleted.
I expect my followers to be 18+ and have an age in their bio. If I check your blog and this is not the case, your request will be deleted.
Requests should be sent using my ask box. Every request MUST have a blog name associated with it, no exceptions! You may submit requests anonymously, but you MUST sign the end of your ask with a blog name. This is to accommodate people whose tickle blog is a sideblog. Requests with no blog name will be deleted.
Requests are for YOUR OCS ONLY. That means you may not submit requests for fandom characters OR other people's OCs. You MAY submit OCs that are based on/exist within a fandom universe, as long as you accept that I may not be familiar with the source material. (It's very unlikely that I will have a problem with the source material, but if I do, I will just (politely) reach out and ask you for a different OC.)
Requests should include a reference image (or multiple, if you are submitting multiple characters.) I will accept a detailed description instead, but I would greatly prefer an image (even if it's not strictly a ref sheet.)
Requests must include a filled-out questionnaire. You may submit one questionnaire for all of your OCs if the same answers apply. If not, please submit separate questionnaires.
I will not be drawing nudity for this event. My opinion is that all nudity is inherently nonsexual, but Tumblr does not share this opinion. Please do not submit characters (of any gender) with exposed nipples, butts, or crotch (unclothed furries with fur covering their bodies are fine.)
Characters must BE and LOOK LIKE adults. I am fine with toony characters like Pokemon, Mr. Men show style, etc but please do not submit characters that look like human/humanoid children (even if they're a demigod who's 3000 years old, or whatever.)
I am very sensitive to horror and gore. Please do not submit characters who are horror themed. I am totally fine with characters who have scars on their bodies, missing limbs, etc, but please no open wounds or body horror. If you're really not sure, send me a message and we'll talk.
I may simplify complex clothing or complicated machinery (if your character is a mech.) I am not good with high-detail work, I'm sorry. If this is going to offend you, please don't submit a character with high detail.
No ferals, please. I'm not good at drawing animals and I'm not really comfortable drawing feral animals in tickle scenes, either. Anthros are fine, of course.
Requests will be open until the end of June. On July 1st, I will stop taking requests until I am done working on the queue. If I get them all done before the end of July, I may re-open, but do not count on this happening! Get your request in ASAP if you want to participate.
This is absolutely NOT required, but if you'd like to draw a tickle piece in response to the one I draw for you, you're welcome to!
By default, I will be posting your ask along with my artwork in response to it. If you would like me to post only the artwork and tag you instead of posting your ask, please say so!
Questionnaire
This questionnaire is to help me understand what you're comfortable with. My goal is to get to as many requests as possible, which is why these pieces will not be fully rendered, nor will I be accommodating complex scenarios. You are essentially giving me your character to draw in a tickle scene -- that's it. How much coloring and shading is done will depend on the complexity of the sketch; I plan to spend around the same amount of time on each piece.
You may submit as many characters as you want, but I will only be drawing ONE of them -- of my choosing. If you have a specific character you want me to draw, please only submit that character.
You have the option of choosing one of my characters to interact with yours, or I can do a ghost hand/feather/tool situation. Here are the characters of mine you can pick from: Casper, Avery, Finn, Silas, Serif, or Newton.
Questionnaire Template
Name: Mr. Scrungle
Height: 11ft
Is your character the lee or ler in the scene? Lee
If ler, who is the lee? N/A
If lee, who is the ler? Ghost hands and feathers
Spots you would like? Everywhere!
Any spots you are uncomfortable with? (private areas are automatically off the table.) Knees
What level of bondage would you like? You can choose free, pinning only, light bondage/cuffs, or heavy bondage: Pinning
Would you like written teasing? Yes
(If yes to written teasing) Are there any teases you do NOT like? (I will not do heavy degradation OR babytalk, this is more light/general teasing): No teasing about Mr. Scrungle enjoying being tickled.
Anything else I should know for your comfort? Mr. Scrungle hates the color red, please don't draw him wearing red!
That's it! If you have any questions, please send me an ask (so that if others also have your question, they can see the answer too.)
As a final note, please give me time to work on these requests; I am one person with a full-time job. I am doing things this way so that I can work at my own pace, so please just be patient. 💙
Listen. I have warned you all repeatedly to quit reading my nonsense. It only encourages me. Especially when people start praising my writing. That's kind of a ✨t h i n g✨ for me.
Unfortunately, a number of you were overly interested in this. So, I'll just have to complete this thought after all~
As I was saying, what if a Ler made you do that but with tools? Maybe you sassed too much or got too cocky. You definitely pushed them too far. Now you have to author your own demise....
You have to pick out the tool. You have to name which spot. And no, you can't just mumble and point. Use your words. Look them in the eyes and form a complete sentence. Name the tool and the spot. And you better trust that if it's not the most devastating choice, they will make your punishment SO. MUCH. WORSE.
Obviously, this would look different for everyone. Maybe it's grooming gloves to the feet. Maybe it's a feather to the ear. Maybe it's their tongue exploring your armpits.
But you were the one who misbehaved. You need to pay for your insolence.
So there's no begging allowed. The only words you're allowed to speak is when they pause for you to breathe.
And those words better be, "Thank you. Can I have another...?"

Dedicated to my sweet pal @guppygiggles. I told you to quit yelling at me~ 😹💜
I love learning more about your little guys! What are your OCs favourite flowers/plants?
-🌱
Oh this is so cute! I wanted to draw something for it, but I don’t really have the energy to learn how to draw a bunch of different kinds of plants right now (I did try, but it was harder than I expected 🫠) So here’s a list instead. 💙
He doesn’t often mention it, but the reason he didn’t finish college was to help take care of his many siblings. His mom is a Clodsire and his dad is a Quagsire, so some of his siblings have a combination of traits. Newton also had unique antennas as a Wooper.
This is a tickle blog after all so i guess I better start posting tickle art-
I was am still pretty shy about sharing this side of myself in general, let alone to the internet- but diving into this community head first is something I've always dreamed about, so I'm trying to be brave about it <3
I figured, as a cute little warm up, to draw my sona letting go of her coverings of shame and letting loose, giving and receiving sweet delicious tickles~ ÚwÙ
Consider it her way of saying hello to all her new buddies on this freaky side of the internet <3
Sorry this took so long! Newton is cold blooded, so he bundles up during cold weather (and at work, it’s cold in there!) but he loves to feel the sun on his skin when it’s warm.
Question for the request event! Would you prefer if an oc has multiple designs to send you a few so u can pick a favorite? Or just one design so as to not have to choose
If an OC has multiple designs and YOU don't have a preference for which one I draw, feel free to send all of them!
This is my first time ever opening commissions so I’m a little nervous XD But I love to draw characters so I will draw characters for YOU!!
Please DM me for drawing requests and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as possible so we can work something out! If you like, I can also send you free updates on the drawing as it’s being worked on!
Does a request need to come with a scenario (e.g. "I want [character] in an interrogation scene.")? Or can it be just a filled-out questionnaire in a "Here's my OC and my general likes/dislikes. Go nuts--you have carte blanche!" kinda way?
If it can be either, do you have a preference?
Signed, @mill-icious
Hey!
So, I would actually prefer the carte blanche option! The less specific the request is, the easier it will be for me to complete. However, I will accept requests to NOT do certain scenarios (if you didn’t like interrogation, for example.)
Would a submitted questionnaire be made visible/public once you respond to it? Like, when you fulfil a request, it'll be a direct response to the ask, or would you simply tag the attached blog?
Signed, @mill-icious
Yes, I will be posting the asks with the art in response by default! If you would like me to just post the art and tag you, please say so in your request!
Thank you for bringing this up, I will add something about it to the original post.
