Joshuya Raidon

Just your typical amateur artist... Getting back into tumblr at the moment.

It's been a while since I did any fanart for MHA, so I decided to change that. After Mirko, Burnin was next on my list to make art of. She gives off a similar vibe to Mirko, so I guess that's why lol. Glad how it turned out overall although I initially had a different idea for a background.

Side note: Admittedly, I thought she had sharp fingernails. However, I looked at her official art more closely and…apparently she doesn't. Her fingers are just very pointy. xD

This is an AC (Amino Coin) portrait commission for Chaos of his OC Agora. She is a lemur faunus with a tail, although the tail is not visible here. I was thinking about showing some of the tail in this pic, but I felt it would be a bit forced to squeeze it in there. Anyway, this is what Chaos has to say about her:

"She's the daughter of a blacksmith with a love of weapons and an even greater love of using them. She dreams of mastering every blade, gun, and dust known to man, which led to the creation of Amalgate Bloc, a weapon comprised entirely of other weapons.

She's upbeat, passionate, and ever curious. No one can stop her once she's set her mind on something. Despite being a bit immature, her expertise is and always will be a valued asset of team ACUA."

This is a gift art for a friend of mine on Amino, KuroNeko, of their OC Nigelle. Nigelle is genderfluid but is being expressed as feminine in this pic. This is what Kuro has to say about Nigelle:

"Nigelle is the Vacuoan descendant of a Mistralian assassin family. Due to a dangerously low aura, they were thrown out as an assassin candidate and instead faced a life as a house wife. With a marriage to a distant cousin looming as only a teen, Nigelle fled their restrictive family to chase their dream of becoming a warrior, low aura be damned."

I haven't uploaded anything in a long while, so I'm long overdue lol. Anyway, this is an art request for Gale on Amino of their significant other Erik's OC, Otto. Erik's OC is part of a RWBY Alternate Universe (AU). This is what Gale has to say about Otto:

"Otto von Konrad is the best friend of Erik Meier (written by the Erik, lmao). Originally designed to be a side character intended to allow another character some development, he was loved by Erik’s rp community and he eventually received enough praise that he decided to make Otto a proper bio. While smaller than his friend, Otto is just as fearsome and known. He’s a wonderful character, designed by a wonderful person"

Commission Details

I apologize to those whom have expressed interest a while back as I have only gotten around to this just now. The point of my cheap commissions, which goes up to $5, is to simply create a barrier to entry as I get too many art requests as it is and it’s tough for me having to choose one over the other. Therefore, the expectation here is that my commissions are to be treated as art requests for the most part, but I will still have certain commitments to the commissioner. With that said, I will go over the details below:

PRICING AND PAYMENT

Each commission will be fully colored and shaded and will include a background by default. The pricing will be as follows:

$3 for one character regardless of the content.

$5 for two characters regardless of the content.

Payment is to be made via Paypal. I will provide you my Paypal info when I request for the full payment. I will only request for payment when the artwork is complete and I will send you a photo of the artwork as proof it is complete. I will send you the digital version of the image at its original resolution in png format once payment is received. You may request for a different resolution or image format if you like. I feel this is fair as I have nothing to gain from withholding the digital image from you after receiving payment.

RULES AND EXPECTATIONS

1. No intricate designs like really complex tattoos.

2. I will draw weapons but I will let you know if I feel they are too complicated.

3. I will probably not draw vehicles and things of that nature but it depends.

4. I will not include text in the image by default, but let me know if you want text or dialogue in the image.

5. Up to two characters only, no exceptions.

6. Let me know which character(s) you want me to draw and provide visual references. I prefer references that are drawings as they are easier for me to interpret. This part should naturally include what outfit and accessories the character(s) is going to be wearing.

7. Aside from letting me know which character(s) you want, the rest will be up to my discretion although I am open to suggestions. These include the following:

Half to full body. The character(s) will be drawn with around half of their body (upper body) within the canvas at minimum. This means that even if body parts are hidden due to factors like foreshortening, those body parts are still considered to be within the canvas. If you request for something less like a portrait, then I’m most likely willing to do it.

Pose. I will most likely ask for your input to get ideas, but please know that I will ultimately decide on a pose I want to draw.

Background. It will range from abstract to something closer to a landscape. I will not do complicated backgrounds in order to save time. I will always do abstract at minimum unless you request for a blank (white) or solid color background. Please keep these things in mind if you make a suggestion.

8. If you are looking for NSFW content then we should discuss on a different platform as I have limitations and there are certain things I will not do.

9. Please give me up to two months to finish your commission as I have other obligations.

10. I can cancel the commission at any time since I did not collect payment yet. However, I will try to give you advance warning and provide an explanation.

11. Should you cancel the commission at any point, please understand that I may opt to post the artwork as it is and probably add a big watermark. I will not name you as the commissioner and I will only stipulate that the commission is unfinished.

COMMITMENTS

Here are my commitments to you that I normally would not provide for an art request:

1. I will provide a photo as a progress shot for the linework phase, the coloring phase, the shading phase, and the complete artwork.

2. I am willing to do adjustments/corrections during each phase, especially during the linework phase. However, I do not expect there to be many requests to adjust/correct minor details (e.g. the hair bang is slightly too short, please make it reach the eyes). If I feel there has been too much back-and-forth then we will need to discuss further and determine if it is still worth it to proceed with the commission.

3. I will answer your requests for progress updates, although I would ask if you could please keep it to a weekly interval or longer.

THE END

Thank you for reading. Please message me if you are interested and I will let you know if there is a queue. I may also modify this post as I start working on commissions.

Do you take commissions or art requests? :)

Art requests, not right now. Commissions though, maybe? I'm leaning towards really cheap commissions. I'm talking like, $5 or less for fully colored artwork. Why? Because I get too many art requests, so I want something to sort of create a barrier to entry so-to-speak. At the same time, I don't want a full-on commission process either, so I'm trying to make it a hybrid where I retain most of the flexibility of art requests but still have commitments to the commissioner to some degree.

I'm still working out the details but I am open to having a discussion about what someone wants commissioned. Heck, I may start commissions with whoever approaches me first. Otherwise, I'll just have to figure things out and maybe make a blog post about it later.

[joshuya-raidon]

Finished. Yamato was very fun to draw, and I am tempted to make more art of her in the future. Heck, I may want to give her Human-Beast form a go because it looks so sick. Ah well, we shall see. It still feels daunting to pick up One Piece at this point though lol.

[joshuya-raidon]

And done. Overall satisfied with it, although admittedly I wanted to experiment with some things but got lazy. So why does Winter look annoyed and has her weapon drawn you ask? I wonder, maybe a certain avian is up to no good.

BNHA fanart of Rumi Usagiyama. My quest for beach fanart continues, and for some reason I turned this into an ad of some sort. I also did a bikini version because why not?

[joshuya-raidon]

A BNHA art request for someone’s OC. Her name is Asuka Sora and her quirk involves singing. Gotta admit, her hair style is lit.

[joshuya-raidon]

BNHA fanart of Rumi Usagiyama. Ever since Mirko showed up, I just had to do art of her. She is best bunny girl after all. Also, I imagine Endeavor going ham somewhere nearby.

[joshuya-raidon]

BNHA art request of someone’s OC. Her name is Liana Sugawara and her quirk involves snakes. Yes, the creator is a big fan of Bakugo.

[joshuya-raidon]

RWBY gift art of someone’s OC. Her name is Yan Liyue. Aspects of her design are inspired from Chinese culture I believe.

[joshuya-raidon]

Old RWBY commission of someone’s OC. Her name is Millaray Hiawatha. She has since been redesigned but she still retains aspects of her tribal inspirations.

[joshuya-raidon]

Old RWBY fanart of Arslan Altan. Ever since the Vytal Festival, I had wanted to draw her. By the time I got around to doing that, we were already heading to Volume 7. So, I took a few liberties in imagining how her appearance might have changed since, such as her growing out her hair. The outfit didn’t change though.

[joshuya-raidon]

Old RWBY art request of someone’s OC. Her name is Uila Requin and she is a shark faunus, although the fins on her forearms are kinda out of view here. Her weapons are pretty sick and it was fun drawing them.

[joshuya-raidon]

Old RWBY fanart of Neon Katt. Gonna be honest, I like her old hair style more than the current one, but as long as she’s still spunky. Also, that poor unfortunate soul.

Background source is indigodeep.
