Update! : Commissions Closed :< I will need a bit of a break after finishing for the current 3 clients I have, and want to re-vamp my current offerings to be more diverse in what you can ask for. Feel free to click the application form link still for full message ^^.
You'll find the commission application google form here.
My TOS and further details (this is also linked at the top of the application form).
do you guys remember the poll i ran for my 2026 shadowgast v-day picture? 'fluffy' won, so i HAD to take that opportunity to paint the second tarot card i associate with shadowgast. took me a while to finish it, but it's here 🌟
i think the line-up of The Devil, The Tower, and The Star really suits their story, and it warms my heart to see where these two have ended up : )
The Devil is here, and i may or may not draw The Tower one day :D
hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)
✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈
If you make a donation to a fundraiser to support Minnesota in their fight against ICE, dm me a screenshot and a doodle prompt and I will draw it!
We'll be focusing on rent relief this time! Fundraisers to choose from below 💕💕💕
Schools and Other Community Institutions (read why schools here):
Collectiva Bilingue is a collection of Spanish Immersion schools within Minneapolis. Roosevelt is the school that was tear gassed the same day Renee Good was murdered. Green Central is also heavily targeted, and three blocks from where Good was murdered.
South High is another one that is likely to need a lot of help in coming weeks. In South Minneapolis, serves an area that's been heavily impacted
Harrison Neighborhood Association serves a neighborhood in North where approximately 1 in 6 residents are foreign born and about 40% speak a language other than English in the home. (source: https://www.mncompass.org/profiles/city/minneapolis/harrison)
South Minneapolis Fundraisers:
A disproportionate amount of the reported activity has been in the Powderhorn, Whittier, and Phillips community areas within South Minneapolis. Renee Good was murdered in Greater Powderhorn Park (central neighborhood); Alex Pretti was murdered in Whittier (eat street).
https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-phillips-families-in-urgent-need - Of the three, Phillips is the poorest of the community areas, with half of the population speaking a language other than English in the home.
https://www.givemn.org/story/Renter-Support-Fund - Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association's rent fund, tax deductable
https://www.gofundme.com/f/critical-rent-assistance-for-central-neighborhood-families - Central Neighborhood (within the Powderhorn Community Area's) rent assistance.
Other Heavily Impacted Areas:
This includes areas in North Minneapolis (a poorer and more heavily PoC area, with members of City Council less reactive to their constituent's needs), first-ring suburbs that are heavily impacted but don't have access to the city's resources for aid, and St. Paul, which is a city in its own right, also being terrorized by ICE, and overshadowed by Minneapolis in the news.
https://www.gofundme.com/f/essential-aid-for-north-metro-families-slp-friday-heights - This includes the suburb where Liam Ramos (adorable 5 year-old) lives, is being run by a PTA.
https://my.cheddarup.com/c/support-our-st-paul-public-schools-community/items - St. Paul Public schools, also run by a neighborhood PTA.
https://venmo.com/u/NorthMplsMA - Mutual aid for North Minneapolis, currently focusing a lot on rent.
Many kisses to @operafloozy for the help gathering this information!

Some options if you don't have time to research:
UNIDOSMN, an immigrant-run organization getting things done on the ground
Immigrant Law Center of MN, who is providing assistance to hundreds of people with families detained by ICE
Immigrant Rapid Response Fund, a fund assembled by a coalition of Twin Cities Foundations committed to getting assistance out the door as quickly as possible.

This is meant to prompt action that hasn't already occurred, so on good faith please only send me asks with new donations!
finally finished a painting i've been cooking in my mind for a few years! shadowgast as The Devil, one of my favorite tarot cards and one of the three cards i associate with their relationship
i'm not much for divination but i love the story-telling aspect of tarot, and one of my favorite visual metaphors of The Devil is how loose the chains around the two figures' necks are. they're not kept bound. it's that possibility to choose that i find so significant, and so fitting for the story of these two wizards. to say you're not defined by your past is to say you're born with all the choices you make; but to say you are forever defined by it is to deny yourself the right to change. the chains around your neck might be very heavy, but the choice to shrug them off is always yours to take.
*draws cartoons like one of your live action movies*
i'm still and forever on that Kryn Drow Are Bug Elves train, so i absolutely had to redraw that beautiful shot with my version of kryn armor. totally headcanon that Essek is wearing one of his mama's suits by the way, specially enchanted to facilitate being used by squishy wizards i assume
