Hey y’all, I’ve decided to be a little more structured about my commission prices. Please see below the cut for more details. Warning for some spicy art examples, but most everything is cropped in.
Colorful sketch portrait, 40-60$
A portrait of you, your friend, or a character.
These are done direct from reference.
If you want a portrait of you or a friend, you will need to provide reference with good lighting.
I can accommodate OC requests but it’s helpful if you have a face-claim in mind for them, in addition to your usual OC reference.
Similar requirement for unfamiliar cartoon or comic fandoms.
Price is for a single individual. If you want a family portrait or a portrait of two people, we can negotiate a price.
Spicy cropped-in ship art, 80-120$
These are done direct from reference.
I can provide my own reference, and run it by you, or you can provide it if you have something in mind. I actually prefer to work from grainy, terrible quality porn gifs for these.
Backgrounds are a simple color wash or color blocks.
Price is based on two figures. Threesomes and moresomes are extra.
+50$ if you want your OCs or characters I am not familiar with.
Partial-figure ship art, 120-150$
Can be spicy, non-spicy, more action-focused, etc.
Cropping tends to occur around waist or thigh level, but may go as high as torso depending on pose.
Poses are original, or reworked based on reference to change angle, lighting, etc.
Backgrounds a simple color wash or color blocks.
Price is based on two figures, threesomes and moresomes are extra.
+50$ if you want your OCs or characters I am not familiar with.
Full figure ship-art with background, 150-200$
Spicy may be extra, depending on pose
Poses are original, or reworked from reference to allow for change of camera angle, change of lighting, etc.
Backgrounds are original, but may require heavy reference if you want something specific.
Organic backgrounds are easiest — if you want something very specific for the background it may be extra, depending on how involved it is.
Price is based on two “main” figures, but less detailed background figures to flesh out the scene are okay. Threesomes or moresomes for the main figures are extra.
Main figures are generally fully visible but may be cropped depending on composition.
+50$ for OCs or characters I am not familiar with.
General:
These are rough price ranges, based on billing myself at ~20$/hr. I am pretty good at determining how long a piece will take within these categories, but if you have a complex or unfamiliar request, we may need to have ongoing conversations with respect to level of finish vs price.
I tend to work at 6x9inches 300 DPI by default, but if you’d like a larger size than that for printing just let me know up front. I can accommodate up to 11x17 inches 300 dpi.
I typically work in RGB, but can accommodate other color profiles on your request. Most print shops can accommodate RGB these days, but CMYK is the “safest” option for print. If you’re really in love with my colors though, you should be warned that RGB is probably more what you’re looking for.
I will send you the full size file at your request for printing/use as HD wallpapers, whatever.
Timeline will depend on your needs and what fandom events I have committed to. I like to plan out what I’m working on with 2-4 months of breathing room. If you need something sooner (inside a few weeks) I may be able to accommodate you, with a rush fee.
If you saw a piece of mine that doesn’t fit into one of these categories and would like something similar, let me know.
I will expect half payment up front.
After you have okay’d something (pose, lighting, bg, etc) changes may require an extra fee.
If you change your mind about commissioning me before I have presented you with a sketch (this may be a document with rough placement of figures, gestural drawings of backgrounds, etc), I will refund your half payment. If you change your mind after this stage, your half-payment is forfeit.

If you’re wondering what the whole drama regarding tieflings is in the Dungeons & Dragons fandom: basically, capitalism ruined tieflings, and for once that’s not even slightly a joke.
Tieflings were first introduced as a playable species in Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition, via the Planescape campaign in 1994. At the time, there were no particular rules regarding what a tiefling was supposed to look like. The text explicitly stated that their basic physiology could vary wildly depending on what their fiendish ancestor was, and one of the first major Planescape supplements even included a table for randomly generating your tiefling’s appearance, if you were into that sort of thing.
This continued to be the case up through the game’s Third Edition. However, when the Fourth Edition rolled around in 2008, the game’s text suddenly became very particular about insisting that all tieflings looked pretty much the same. Some campaign settings even provided iin-character explanations for why all tieflings now had a standardised appearance. Understandably, this made a lot of people very annoyed.
There was naturally a great deal of speculation concerning what had motivated this change. It was widely cited as “proof” that Dungeons & Dragons was trying to appeal to the World of Warcraft fanbase – which was nonsense, of course; nearly all of the Fourth Edition’s allegedly MMO-like features were things that popular MMOs had borrowed from Dungeons & Dragons in the first place, and to the extent that tieflings’ new look resembled a particular WoW race, it was in that they were both extraordinarily generic.
In reality, it was a change that had been lurking for some time. Though Dungeons & Dragons is directly published by Wizards of the Coast, Wizards of the Coast is in turn owned by Hasbro, and Hasbro has long regarded the D&D core rulebooks as a vehicle for promoting D&D-branded merch – in particular, licensed miniature figures.
This was a bugbear that had reared its head before. When the Third Edition received major revisions in 2003, Hasbro corporate had ordered the game’s editors to completely remove any discussion of how to improvise minifigs for large battles, and replace it with an advertisement for the then-current Dungeons & Dragons Heroes product line. Implying that purchasing licensed minis wasn’t 100% mandatory simply would not do.
If you’ve gotten this far, you’ve probably already guessed where this is going: tieflings having no standard appearance made it difficult to sell tiefling minifigs, as any given minifig design would only be suitable for a small subset of tiefling characters. In the brutally reductive logic of the corporate mind, Hasbro reasoned: well, if we tell tiefling players that all of their characters now look the same, we can sell them all the same minifigs. So that’s what the game did, going so far as to write justifications into several published settings for magically transforming all existing tiefling characters to fit the new mould!
This worked about as well as anyone who isn’t a corporate drone would naturally anticipate – and that’s the story of how capitalism ruined tieflings.
I already made a post talking about how varied Pathfinder allows/encourages Tieflings to be, but this seemed like a good excuse to just post a bunch of the official Tiefling art that really shows it off
Okay so I’m definitely not a fic writer, but that criminal!AU has been plaguing my brain and I gotta scream about it somewhere. Do note that all the concepts presented in my blog (all the AUs, witcher vampir lore etc) are free to be used! So if any of you guys want to do your own spin about this criminal!AU you’re more than welcomed to!
Do keep in mind this is 100% super self-indulgent crap and treat it as such! Also, I know some parts of this plotline need more work, but ehhhhh I wanna scream about it now and not later…
TLDR version: contract killer criminal asshole is sick and tired of his horrible life choices but doesn’t know how to change his life, until he gets in deep shit and is dragged out of it by a witcher, and ends up being kinda decent person under all the crap.
It’s definitely not just you. Regis’ features are very strong and clear, and OK, so are Geralt’s, but there’s a reason that all my Regises are like, “OK, render for six hours”
and all my Geralts are… uh…
(I think this was his face when I tried to squawk, “It’s an exercise in simplification, OK?!”)
Ki-jung – the facts are she’s the baby in the family, and she does sometimes come off as the most adventurous and progressive, but also very realistic out of the four Kim family members. But in reality, she’s very saddening, sometimes, and very heart-aching, because the amount of tests and exams, and the cuts that she didn’t make.
She seems like someone who’d never complain about it: Her only outlet was the little pouch that she hid on top of the toilet, with the cigarette case and the money. But she is definitely someone who would never talk to other people about her problems, and in that sense that’s why it was heartbreaking, because she felt that her only outlet was that cigarette box and nothing else.
But when Ki-jung starts going to the rich house, and takes on the role of Jessica, it was very cathartic as someone who was playing that role, because she was finally able to utilise every single skill that she had, and finally was able to use the tools that she’s been wanting to, but was never given the platform to do so.
