[platinumtulip]

greetings! my name is Tulip (they/them), and i'm a nonbinary artist. i mostly draw my own OCs, and i hope you enjoy them too.

things of note:

my art tags: tulip art, diana, rosemary, iris

i have a very strong fixation on Diana in particular and draw them a lot. comfort character...

i feel more comfortable with an 18+ audience, even though there is not really any nsfw content here. so please, adults only!

i have a website too! https://platinumtulip.garden/

if you like my work, consider tipping me on ko-fi!

commissions:

my commissions specialty is doing art in MS Paint + Kid Pix! i have a deep affection for retrocomputing and using obsolete or niche programs. if that sounds interesting to you, consider commissioning me! more info under the cut.

platinumtulip's Ko-fi Commissions

if you like my work, you can support me here! ☕💕

my current estimated TAT is around 7-10 days; hopefully it won't be that long, but sometimes my body is uncooperative and makes working difficult, so please be patient!

these are intentionally low-resolution images done in 90s drawing software. it's supposed to be fun and doodly!

WILL ✅: fanart and OCs welcome! i specialize in drawing human/humanoid characters, so please keep that in mind. i may need to simplify complex outfits slightly, however.

WON'T ❌: nsfw, anthro/furry characters, animals/creatures. it's just not what i specialize in, sorry!

additionally: i reserve the right to refuse a commission. if i do, i will issue a full refund. i will send your completed commission through ko-fi's messaging system, which sends an email to you.

“May I please draw your OC?”

Reblog this message if you encourage anyone that wants to draw your OC to do so.  No need to ask for permission in advance.

Go for it.  Draw my OC.  If you want, I’ll even give you reference posts.  Go to town on it.

You are welcome to draw my OC and surprise me with the result.  Seriously.  In fact, I encourage it.  I will proudly display whatever it is you submit to me regarding my OC.  There is a chance that I will squeal about it for several days.

Even if you feel you aren’t good at whatever artistic adventure it is you do, please feel free to submit it to me.  I want to see what you have done.

doing some studies of photos. i'm trying to remember how to do higher res paintings again

i did the second one with just one brush that i made myself, to try to replicate the feel of old oekaki brushes and some other older art programs. i was finally successful after so many failed attempts over the years

[platinumtulip]

i made my catsona in petz 4. they are so funny to watch and i love them so much. this was my first real hex attempt and while they may not be complicated, it is very fulfilling watching this little beast run around

some observations:

they are so picky. oh, so picky. they turn their nose up and ignore so many foods. they take after me <3 so proud

they love this satin pink pillow. loves to knead it and curl up on it and take a big ol snooze

one time they kneaded the ground for like a minute straight, meticulously preparing to get comfy, before flopping over dramatically and falling asleep immediately. i am so charmed

Bra Review?

Hello!

First off, your artwork is amazing, thank you for sharing Rosemary and Diana with us.

Someone over at r/trollxchromosomes posted what looks like maybe a twitter from your handle -- I'm not positive it's you, but I figured it was worth a shot.

We're wondering what bra you're talking about in this post... I think a lot of folx would like to look into maybe getting one, with such a great review. Do you remember at all what brand this was?

Thanks in advance,

--Haberdasherydoo

best guess is the TomboyX soft bras, which i'm pretty sure i had just learned about at the time, but i don't feel super great recommending them... the way they've treated trans models in the past put a really bad taste in my mouth. while i still own & wear several bras from them - they're still comfortable and made well - i don't usually jump to recommend them anymore

in their place, i have been recommending ARQ, but i don't know how much longer they're going to be around. they make really nice cotton bras, but due to Life Circumstances the owner of the brand was gonna wind down her business, which is a shame.

Hey Mavens has been also on my to-try list but i haven't gotten around to it yet

quick ms paint sketch of flying-type miku to destress
