Memories of a Time Gone Past

Keeta/Alix. 29. She/they. Hi! You can learn more about me in the 'about the mun' page, since this used to also be an RP blog. Currently trying to do commissions, requests are closed. Switch Friend Code: SW-3022-2121-4851

[im-captain-basch]

Hiyo! I'm currently unemployed and need to be able to make money to stay on top of certain bills until I can get a job. :0

Here are some examples of what you may get with each pricing under under the cut (UPDATED to include background/colored line style examples & pricing):

Sketch: $2

Lineart: $3

Color: $5

Shaded: $7

Background examples and pricing:

Simple blot of color or entire canvas colored (one or two colors): free

Blended mish-mash of colors: $0.25

Background w/ pattern: $0.25 (multi-color at no extra cost)

Semi-complex background: $0.50-$2 depending on the elements involved

Complex background: $3-$5 depending on the number of elements involved

(NOTE: final background example looks incomplete because it's the only complex background of this degree I have saved under a file with layers so I could easily save it to use as an example; characters take up the more blank parts of the canvas here)

Colored-line style (completely optional): Free-$0.50 depending on how much of the character(s) is (are) showing

Examples:

Made some updates to the examples and the like, and there is a few more things when it comes to the commissions that I didn’t think of until doing my first one, so let me put it here:

Especially if it's of your OCs, you hold the right to use the commission as you see fit EXCEPT for monetary gain or to claim as your own. If posted elsewhere, credit by name must be given, but a link back specifically to my pages is not required. However, if it DOES contain at least one OC of yours, I will always ask to post the piece.

When exactly payment is due can be discussed when contacted about a commission.

I acknowledge the low prices sound like a scam, but they are that low because I may encounter things I am unfamiliar with drawing but open to trying and just haven't done so yet, such as different body types. In this scenario, the prices are a safety net for me if you are unsatisfied with how it looks while also giving me a chance to get experience drawing things I may not be familiar with. Whatever quality you see in the examples is almost surely likely to be the quality you get, regardless of price!!

Do not feel bad about approaching me with something you may not have seen in my work!! I am willing to try to draw most things I am unfamiliar with, and will check to see if it's satisfactory with you before proceeding any further.

I can send the final piece+the .mdp (FireAlpaca) file through email or Discord, whichever is more convenient for you.

I can be contacted about a commission here through DMs, or through a message at deviantart.com/hislostshadow (if you happen to have it already, my Discord is also a viable option)

Please do not feel pressured into going with or without a background for a colored or shaded piece!! If you want a blank background or one of the options above, that is wholly your choice!!

While I do currently have a job, unlike when I first made this post, they've been cutting my hours significantly at work so I'm pushing comms once more.

[im-captain-basch]

Just got home from The Amazing Digital Circus in theaters and WOWIE was that worth it. Definitely going to have to rewatch when it comes out on YouTube. I was worried I would be in a theater with the more rowdy (read: crass) fans, but I am very glad everyone seemed to get along and have a great time together!

Without getting into spoilers, I do think some people online had the wrong idea of how things were going to end or be ordered based on previous statements made by Gooseworx and the cast. However, I genuinely cannot have come up with a better ending for the revelations made and it feels satisfying for the most part.

Although, to the person reading this who gave that trigger warning weeks ago on anon: I would very much like to talk to you off anon so I can understand what scene you were talking about. I have an idea of which one, but I'm not entirely sure we got the same vibes from it.

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times

[revizyonist]

"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you

[ancelineonline]

I have four kids. I’ve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.

This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.

I’m not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.

[bowditch]

i did know this before having kids (i have six). we have a kid that's needed multiple procedures requiring anesthesia. and every single time, i am asked multiple times if i'm sure he was not given any food or water after a certain point.

every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.

not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.

"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!

I do think it's really funny that the common things people complain about DK64 are the things me and my siblings love.

*looking at myself in the mirror*

Fanfiction is supposed to be cringy. You're allowed to write bad. You're allowed to be cringe. Fanfiction is supposed to be self indulgent. You're allowed to be cringe. Let yourself be cringe. Fanfiction is supposed to be fun. Stop putting arbitrary rules on yourself and be free.

If this game had a free camera, it'd be spinning in circles.

[gatesofminrathous]

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

hey staff what the fuck

[im-captain-basch]

YOU CANNOT SERIOUSLY TELL SOMEONE I "make a mean [insert food here]" IF I CONSTANTLY HAVE YOU TRYING TO SHOW ME WHY I'M WRONG FOR THE WAY I DO THINGS

The only reason---and I DO mean the ONLY reason---i am even needing this kitchen is because SOMEONE decided we had enough appliances that we didn't need an actual oven and our shitty little convection oven was fine for the two of us while conveniently forgetting WE ALSO DON'T HAVE AN ACTUAL STOVE

Something fun about the next chapter of Eternity: it contains perhaps the single longest scene with a direct appearance and dialogue exchange with a character from the actual main Pokemon games outside of another story in the same universe I haven't mentioned yet.

I've actually had a lot of fun writing them so far. However, I have had to have their quotes page pulled up to make sure I'm writing the way they talk correctly, especially considering I haven't played the game this character came from in a looong time.

HOLY SHIT NEW STARLIGHT BRIGADE CONTENT IN 2026?!??!!?

[lunarblazes]

REBLOGGING THIS AGAIN WITH CONTEXT SORRY I SHOULD HAVE ADDED THIS FIRST BUT.

legends of avantris (a pretty popular actual play show, you may recognize them from the animated shorts that shoocharu does for them, like this one of the gryla incident) came out with a kickstarter for a dnd 5.5e space opera expansion earlier this month called neon odyssey. they also released a music video by the same name to promote the expansion (which you can watch here). the visuals in the video were animated by doig & swift and the knights of the light table, who also worked on the starlight brigade music video for twrp back in 2019.

tonight, on an avantris stream, they revealed that the 15 million milestone for the neon odyssey kickstarter is an adventure module featuring the starlight brigade characters, with art done by doig and swift. neon odyssey is currently at about 11.8 million dollars as of the time of writing this, and there's only a few days until the kickstarter ends. back it here if you're interested and able because oh my god

i'm genuinely losing my FUCKING mind over this. i highly recommend hitting up this kickstarter if you have the money and any interest whatsoever. neon odyssey is fantastic and i literally just started a group to playtest the materials that are already out. holy fucking shit dude
