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. š
Saw a post about a ler!fo, but I'm not sure I'm allowed to interact with that person, so here's my two cents:
Lee!fo who thinks they're hot shit and almost invincible, who need to get knocked down a peg
Lee!fo who thinks they're smart and suave and charming enough to get out of any situation. They cannot
Lee!fo who stretches around near you so you'll get the idea of tickling them
Lee!fo trying to make up excuses as to why you should tickle them. Not because they like it! Obviously no! They just like being touched by you!
Lee!fo who denies being a knismo whenever they can, whether that be because they're stoic and it doesn't fit their image, or because they're just flustered.
Or Lee!fo who is such an unashamed knismo, that they will send you teases throughout the day (pics of tummy, feet, teasing/bratty texts)
Lee!fo who has a knismo Tumblr blog where they share their secrets and you accidentally finding that blog
Showing lee!fo their posts before smugly asking them if that's really what they want
Shy lee!fo who wants tickles but can't even say the word. Imagine gently tickling them while praising them
Bratty lee!fo, who gets on your nerves until you give in and tickle the brattiness out of them
Lee!fo, who will love you forever and evermore when you tickle them
Art idea/scenario for the sake of seeing Newton tickledā¦
Newton gets captured by criminals. He's tied down to a table by his arms/wrists and legs/ankles and they torture him by tickling his foot with a feather until he tells them what they want to know (or rather, what they want to hear).
I reallyā¦ really liked this ask.
Check under the cut for some rendered Newton peets as a bonus.
Yes to this one too! Based on the fact that the 'sires can learn a few Psychic moves... and also because I think he would like it, and I would love to draw Newton doing yoga (though it would be very hard.)
I've actually been thinking about this a lot lately because I do yoga in real life; yoga is for everyone. There's like, a conception (at least in the west) that only a certain type of people (young, thin, strong, etc) can do yoga, but literally anyone can enjoy, be good at, and benefit from it. I would love to see more representation of different body types and ability levels in yoga.
Just for fun, but would Newton be interested in taking up a martial art like karate or taekwondo (also, he'd look quite adorable in a karate gi outfit X3)?
Putting a pin in this bc omg, he WOULD look cute in an outfit like that! Maybe even the one from Dragonball! š
I would say yes! Clodsire and Quagsire can both learn a handful of fighting moves. I don't think it would be a big part of his life tho, Newton is a pretty gentle guy, he doesn't like to fight (and bringing his spikes out would rip his clothes.) Maybe he just took a class for a little while (and maybe he made some friends there... I'll have to think about what fighting type pokemon I like now. š)
