Bethany Gabrielle Commissions

now with a new coat of paint

I’ve decided it’s time to reopen commissions, but updated. Some of what I’m offering/rules have changed, so please look over all information.

A few notes:

Payment will be done through either PayPal, Venmo, or Ko-Fi (if the price rounds off in thirds haha) and this information will be exchanged after I finish the commission (but it will not be sent until I receive payment).

I will not do anything NSFW. Themes of it are okay, but nothing hardcore.

No hateful art (ex. homophobia, racist, etc.)

No mecha (only because I’m not good at it)

I reserve the right to say no to an order if I am uncomfortable doing it but will try to be as respectful as possible about it.

I can be contacted either here on Tumblr via messenger, ask, or submission, or if you want something more reliable, I can be contacted at [email protected].

If you are uncomfortable with me publishing your commission, please say so! I will assume you are alright with me posting it online (includes possibility of any of these: Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and/or YouTube), but if you aren’t, I will respect your request. There is also a chance it will be published to my portfolio site.

It is recommended you provide me with at least one reference picture to make things easier, but I can still work with description. However, the overall quality may be reduced because of it and there will be an extra fee. I can also work with references of real people (including for the Schultz or Pop! commissions).

Full piece illustration prices start at $20 meaning it can increase depending on specifications of shading/background style, character amount, and complexity of the piece in general.

Thank you for reading and considering commissioning me!

"Aw, don't be embarrassed!" Ariel giggled. "I think it's romantical!"

"Come on, we'll go hang out in my room," Flynn smiled, leading his younger siblings back to his room.

The twins giggled softly to themselves, giving their godsister a knowing smile as they retreated. Though they were young, they were very wise for their age.

Flynn nodded. “Uh huh! My Grandma Primrose is like me! She can grow plants too an’ was teaching me how to do that!”

“She called what we are…” He tapped his chin. “Druids. An’ she grows plants that help people feel better when they’re sick.”

[beththeghost]

“She doesn’t sound so bad,” Beth gives a weak smile. “Maybe… maybe when everything dies down, you can ask your mom if you can go see her. Uh, that’s guessing if… she’s on hold terms with her. I really don’t know what things have been like for you and Dagan’s side of the family since all of this.”

[moirin-mcgillicuddy]

“I hope so,” Flynn smirked, crossing his arms. “Because she never liked Dad either. But she looooooooves Mommy and us! You’ll like her lots!”

“There you are!” Ariel chirped excitedly, running into the garden ahead of the twins. “We’ve been lookin’ everywhere!”

“Not really,” Emmett shrugged.

“This is the first place we checked,” Emily giggled softly.

[beththeghost]

“Well, we’re all together now,” Beth gives a small chuckle. “C’mon. We should, uh, get outta here. Find something else to do.”

[moirin-mcgillicuddy]

"Can Alex come over?" Ariel begged. "He's so cool!"

"We love it when he babysits us," Flynn grinned.

"Plus, you would-"

"-appreciate his company as well," said the twins.

“I know,” Flynn huffed, standing up and taking his godsister’s hand. “I miss my plants back home. But Mommy says it’s not safe enough to go home yet… Because of our Dad.”

He sighed. “I’m not dumb. I knew we weren’t here because Mommy needed to practice.”

[beththeghost]

Beth goes quiet as she hears him talk, and a look of sympathy crosses her face. The teenager stops guiding him out of the gardens and kneels down, holding his shoulders.

“Yeah,” Beth admits. No use in lying to him now. It’s not fair. “Yeah, you’re smart for knowing that. But… I need you to not tell your siblings. Flynn… you’re big enough to understand what’s going on. Maybe not everything, but a lot of it. So—so your mom and I, we need you to stay strong. To keep this a secret. We don’t want your sisters and brother to get scared.

“Can you promise me,” she continues softly, squeezing his shoulders, “that you won’t tell them? For me and your mom? You guys shouldn’t have to think about this sort of stuff, and I don’t want you to. Let… let’s let them think this is just a fun trip while your mom practices. It would be for the best. I know this is big to ask. But… can you do that for me? For them?”

[moirin-mcgillicuddy]

Flynn nodded, wiping his eyes. "I know... I promise."

"All I know is that Ariel misses her friend, Eric an' the twins miss their lessons with Aunt Makoto..."

He gave Beth a small smile. "I just with my Grandma was here to see how good I'm getting at plant growing. That's who I miss."

Flynn was in the gardens of Beth’s palace, kneeling in the grass by a small patch of dirt.

Shutting his eyes tightly, he held out his hands and concentrated.

A moment later, a tiny sprout popped through the soil, stretching the best it could for such a tiny one.

Even though he hadn’t been around his mentor in who knows how long, he was getting better.

He had to practice.

[beththeghost]

“Hey!” Beth calls with a smile, upon seeing Flynn in the grass. “Whatcha doin’ out here?”

The young princess makes her way over to her younger godbrother and sits in the grass beside him, “You come to check on the—?” She stops when she notices the sprout near her, looking surprised.

“Hey,” she begins again, “this wasn’t here before. Did—did you make this?”

[moirin-mcgillicuddy]

"Uh huh!" Flynn nodded, smiling proudly up at his godsister. "It's just a baby but I'm excited to see what it grows up to be."

He gently nudged the soil around the sprout. "I've been trying to practice, but all your flowers are..." He looked over his shoulders as if someone was listening before whispering into her ear.

"They're a bit snooty. Don't like just ANYONE taking care of them."

Who are you going to visit?

The only person in the UpSideDown I can trust besides my goddaughter and mother.

My ex-mother-in-law.

[moirin-mcgillicuddy]

Thespian-ler started following you!

Oh, goodness me! A movie star at my home and I've barely cleaned.

A pleasure to meet you, sir. Would you care for anything?

[moirin-mcgillicuddy]

It was almost safe for the children to come home.

Almost.

Moirin paced the living room, worried to no end.

Would everything be safe?

Would he be kept out?

Would she ever have peace of mind again?

She sighed softly, descending into the basement of the Red House to open a portal to the UpSideDown.

There was someone she needed to see.

Closed RP with Bosteau-and-Bosteau

Moirin sat on the porch, reading a book about pirates on daring adventures. She loved tales of the high seas and, even though she grew up during the Golden Age of Piracy, fantasized about it often.

Fergus was asleep beside her on the porch swing, but raised his head quickly when he heard footsteps on the stone pathway that led to the house.

That got Moirin's attention and she looked up as well, sighing in relief when she saw who it was.

"Come to keep me company?" she asked with a small smile.

[moirin-mcgillicuddy]

Moirin stood in the living room of her home, putting the finishing touches on a charm meant to keep away negative energy. Her people, the Wish-Granting Fae, had been using this charm for years.

Fergus purred comfortingly, knowing how miserable his mistress was without her children nearby. She missed them terribly, but until they could put better protection, better runes, around the house...

They'd have to stay with their godsister. Until it was safe.

"All it needs," Moirin muttered to herself, holding up the small ball of clovers, "is a little bit of love."

Pressing a gentle kiss to the clovers, she hung it in the doorway in hopes that it would bless those who came through the doors with positive energy.

Something she really needed.

[moirin-mcgillicuddy]

Hey, kids. What are your grandparents like?

Emmett: Which ones?

Emily: We do have two parents.

Ariel: I like our grandmas and grandpa! Mama's papa is a king an' her mama's a ghost!

Flynn: I don't think we've ever met our dad's dad... But I really like his mommy. She calls me her "little sprout"!

[moirin-mcgillicuddy]

“They won’t miss me for too long, sweetheart,” Moirin smiled, placing a comforting arm on her shoulder. “Everything’s fine for now.”

She giggled softly. “Besides, I had to come see five of my favorite people! I missed you!”

“Are you gonna beat everyone at the Race this year, Mama?”

“Of course!” Moirin grinned. “Haven’t lost once, and I don’t plan on starting a new trend.”

[beththeghost]

“I’m sure you won’t start one either,” Beth grins optimistically. “I’m glad to hear things are going great. We’ve been doing good here, too! Oh, the kids just met Sharp! And Drefan. Though, uh, I don’t think they liked socializing with the latter much.

“You’re more than welcome to join us,” she continues, “to the magic practice room. Believe it or not, I ought to get some practice in, too. It’ll be good for these li’l guys and me!”

[moirin-mcgillicuddy]

Moirin shook her head. "I can't stay for too long... But if we're going to be practicing our abilities, Ariel will need her propellor!"

She snapped her fingers, a propellor hat Ariel's size appearing in her hands. "There we are, sweetheart. If you start to drop a tiny bit, don't panic, just keep thinking 'fly'!"

"Yes, Mama!" Ariel nodded, putting on the hat and smiling when it buzzed to life.

"Thank you for taking such good care of them, Beth," Moirin smiled softly. "My 'training' should be done soon."
