So, uh, this is not a proper announcement yet, I'll be doing that in the future, but I would really like some help at the moment.
I have 5 slots open to do sketch commissions for $10. I'm mainly tagging this for the tfc community because I am more known here. The sketches doesn't need to be tfc related, but I would love to make more art for tfc or your ocs.
‼️ If you're interested ‼️
1) I would like physical images of what your ocs look like and a proper description of what you want your sketch to look like. This will give you the best result
2) You can ask your requests in DMs. There I will communicate with you about payment and when you might receive your piece. It might take me 2 weeks or less to receive your sketch, as I am still an active student
3) There is no extra payment if you want to add another character. Face, bust and full body sketches also are the same amount. All sketches are just ten dollars right now
4) The payment method would be through PayPal. Once you are happy with your sketch, I'll send you the payment request through emails.
5) Don't ask for anything too gory or NSFW yet. That's my only limitation.
Available slots (will be edited throughout):

And I think that's it! If you have any other questions though, feel free to ask in my dms.
There’s an ao3 account posting smut of your oc, I just want to make sure if you consented or not?
(Sorry I haven’t read your pinned before sending this)
If you're talking about Servitaur/Azurphra, then I'm aware of it, because I was the one who requested it. I even reposted the tumblr version on my blog right here.
But if it's another person I'm not aware about, then hello?! Lemme see! (＞∀＜)
I'll say it now, if you want or had made fanwork of any of my ocs, please tag me so I can see what you made. And that includes NSFW stuff as well. I wanna reblog anything and everything. (〃´ω`〃)
During one of his usual performances, Jack was rudely thrown with a piece of his client’s birthday cake. Confused and afraid that he made a mistake, Ticket Taker took it upon himself to calm down the young monster.
Ticket Taker & Oc (Platonic)
––—–––☆♡☆–––––––
The sound of children cheering and their parents giving polite applause filled Jack’s ears as he pulled the last colourful piece of tied fabric from his box. He grinned, giving his delighted audience an exaggerated bow. The tip of his forehead touched the soft yellow fluffs of his red shoes.
“Thank you everyone! Thank you.” He gets upright, looking slightly amongst the audience till his blurry eyes spotted the hidden monster in his blue suit. His smile stretches a little farther. He couldn’t wait for this to be reported to the Jester! He did his show perfectly! Jester would be so proud of him.
“And that also brings us to the end of today’s show.”
The collective “awws” from the children made Jack chuckle. His gloved hand moved to cover his mouth. “Don’t fret, little firelights! Your loveable clown will return when it’s the next youngling’s birthday. So don’t lose those smiles! Go now and have some cake and play-”
Splat!
The sound was loud in the gathering hall. He didn’t see it coming. How could he?
He staggered back just as everyone gasped. Something sticky, sweet and crumbly struck the side of his face. It smelled of chocolate cake.
“Is this seriously what we resorted to?!”
A loud, booming voice dragged everyone’s head to the sound. Jack looked up. Did they throw the cake at him?
“We’re letting these freaks perform in front of our children now?”
“What is wrong with you?” A parent retorted, holding their child who started to cry.
“You’re not even invited!”
“Mind your own damn business, man!”
The perpetrator simply rudely huffed, grabbing at something from the table. “I will make it my business if these freaks continue to surround their filth around us! People are disappearing for hell sake!”
Another splat struck him between the eyes. His hands shot up, trying to get the cake off.
“Get out of here!”
It was chaos. Parents were confronting the intruder, restaurant staff were trying to deescalate the situation, children were crying and a balloon popped somewhere on his right.
What happened..?
Jack felt how the second chunk of cake slid off his cheek. It landed with a soft thud on the hard floor. The sounds drown away in his ears.
Did… I do something wrong? What was it? The performance? The acts? Did I smile too much?
Something wet started to ruin the paint on his already caked face.
What about Jester? He won’t be happy with the ruined performance once word gets to him. Will he even smile at me anymore?
“Alright! No need for this to get further out of hand.”
A shadow stood in front of him. Jack looked up. His watery eyes saw blue. Blue. Suit.
“We were finished anyway. Thank you for this opportunity.”
Ticket Taker bowed politely. A hand on his shoulder guided Jack aside, grabbing the box before they left. But Jack couldn’t look up at the one pulling him away. The tears were still flowing. His head felt too loud and too quiet all at once.
The ticket master tisked his tongue, his hand still on Jack’s back.
“The nerve of these humans. You would’ve thought they would hold themselves back in front of their young. But they just can’t seem to help themselves, can they?”
“Did I fail..?”
Ticket Taker stopped. His “human” face turned to the tearful clown’s face. He couldn’t even respond as Jack continued. His voice cracked as he spoke in breathy hiccups.
“I-I failed you all and n-now I put the circus in trouble. I- hic… Jester will be so m-mad at me. Hic- I just wanted to p-prove that I c-can be useful. I just w-wanted to bring joy and smiles. I d-don’t understand what I did w-wrong.”
He stopped when he was pulled down, his head held against Ticket Taker’s chest. Fingers slowly stroked his revealed blue hair.
“Jack. Shh-shh. It’s alright.” He swayed him from side to side with gentle ease. “You did nothing wrong.”
Jack sniffed. His arms held onto Ticket Taker’s back in a vice grip. Gloved claws dug into the suit.
“B-but… Jester-”
“Will not be angered with you about this,” Ticket Taker’s voice turned firm, silencing Jack’s worries and commanding the young monster to listen carefully.
“You are not in trouble. This,” he wiped leftover cake off Jack’s cheek. “Was not your fault. Jester won’t be cross with you. Neither will I.”
“Why..?”
“That’s just how humans are, Jack.” Ticket Taker sighed. His head rested on top of his own. The grip in his hair tightened. “They don’t need a reason to want to hurt us. There is a reason why they are just cattle to us.”
The words weren’t really as soothing as the other’s actions. Jack was still confused. Does seeing them in pain satisfy humans? Do their tears salvage their thirst?
Jack will never understand humans. Nor their pointless anger. They’ll be as much of a mystery for him as he will be to them.
But those children. Their cries. They didn’t deserve to feel such fear. To be subjected to those types of disgusting superior humans when they should live their lives through laughter and joy. He never wants to hear another child’s scared cries. Feel any sort of their tears soaking his gloves.
Humans like that don’t deserve to raise young of their own.
“Mister Ticket Taker…” The grip on the shorter monster tightened. His voice almost turned cruel as he murmured, “I think I know what we will have for dinner tonight…"

Arthur End Notes:
I wrote this a long while back but didn't post it due to being more shy with my writing than drawing. But I just thought, why not? I don't share much of Jack's lore anyway. ( ・ε・)
As for why I wrote this, I just wanted to show that Jack isn't immune to the assaults either and I wanted to explore what his reaction would be to said assaults. And just more Jack and TT stuff.
I will make that chart about their relationships eventually. I already started lol. But my brain has so much shit going on bro.
Anyway, hope my writing was good. Have a good day, fellow gremlins! (*つ▽`)っ
Just to note, I'm a little sad I missed Pierrot and Harlequin's birthdays. I would've loved to draw little gifts for them, but I was so busy with college assignments and was focused on commissions when I did have time to draw.
Maybe I can still do something for them as a belated bday instead, but I'll have to see...
Anyway, it's Daddy– I mean Ticket Taker's birthday next. So far, I'll just have to give him my birthday wishes through words instead.
Though, speaking of birthdays, I did realise that Jack's bday is a week before mine, and Doctor's birthday is right after mine. Well, I definitely want to draw something special for the three of us then.
I had to do it. I had to colour in this beautiful piece. I absolutely loved the sketch! Thanks again for the og idea @beththeartster. <3
And ofc, I want the awesome @ommiotta to see this too. (*/ω＼*)
As some of you have been aware my health has taken a nose dive, and I’ve been sadly unable to do a lot of things due to that fact.
But that doesn’t mean I’ve been sitting around uselessly and lazy, i have been working whenever I’ve been physically able to and even got into a new fandom! That’s right, i consider myself a „The Freak circus“ fan as well now (also known as tfc). This is essentially a post saying i might not limit myself to one singular fandom per account anymore and might allow myself to actually express my other interests. I am currently getting a commission done by the wonderful artist @sky-aries and have been making some doodles myself as well! (Please go support them their content is worth a little peak).
In general, i hope soon i am healthy enough to make art again, and hopefully post all of the fandoms i enjoy, and of course return to my EJ self shipping because i will never let him go lol- be prepared for ramblings and incoherent headcanons for now although, and in the meantime take my (very bad quality due to illness) fanart of An AU OC of another AU that i enjoy ✨ check out @ommiotta for the Hotel AU btws!
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much! This looks beautiful, omg! My baby! Your amazing, truly. Thank you for the support and just being genuinely awesome ♡(〃´ω`〃)♡
Just something I noticed recently people have been doing in the fandom is Pierrot and Harlequin's first discovery or just their dynamic before the circus even happened. It's honestly adorable seeing their little kid versions help feed each other and just having each other as company before they joined a bigger troupe.
Though, a little part in me gets melancholy when I remember how many times Neko said Pierrot and Harlequin used to be so close. If these backstories had any bit of canon truth to them, it makes it a lot deeper how much Harlequin valued his relationship with Pierrot. And to some extent, I understand, since I too used to feel these feelings with ex friends when I was a kid, only to a lesser degree. ( ・ε・)
Since it had just been them for as long as they could remember, of course Harlequin would seek Pierrot's attention. How could he not? He used to get it all the time. They were able to have light banter, share meals and just protect each other in their difficult world. And maybe that's all Harlequin felt that's what they needed. But then their troupe got bigger, but hey, no biggie! Pierrot is still his best friend and will always pay attention to him, like he always did–
After Columbina joined, Pierrot unintentionally left Harlequin in the dark. I'm not saying he did so maliciously as Pierrot was going through these feelings he probably never felt before and he wished to grow closer to the person he fell in love with. Jealousy for the company of your friends/family is a very real thing. Most of us have felt it at some point in our lives. From my point of view at the time, seeing my best friend laughing with someone else, hugging that other friend more than me and seemingly more consumed with the conversations happening the two of them left me confused, envious and lonely. Why wouldn't you look at me like that? Am I not fun anymore? Is the problem me? I just want things to go back to the way we used to be. Can't you see the pain I'm in? Please, don't stop looking at me. I don't want be alone again. Please, just look at ME...
I wonder if Harlequin went through similar feelings like I used to. If he ever wondered he was going to 'lose' his friend because of love. I won't deny that I sometimes still struggle with the concept of abandonment, something that I feel both Pierrot and Harlequin struggle with. That's why I don't want either of them to feel left out or alone... (*´～｀*)
This was just an opinion piece of mine, and I did put actual personal feelings into this. As much as jealousy is a normal feeling to feel and don't feel ashamed for feeling human, it's important to realise that you shouldn't let your jealousy blind your relationships. We can learn from Harlequin that he should've communicated his feelings to Pierrot. I don't know how much Pierrot knew on Harlequin's feelings at the time, we can only theorise so far, but he wouldn't have been perfect either. Both need to learn how to communicate with each other and we, MC, will be the mediator to help them. We will hopefully have the choice to help them heal and find comfort in each other again. And that leaves me very excited. (〃´ω`〃)
If you have any thoughts on the matter I'd love to read your opinions in the comments.
I've been a lot more busy this week, so art has been really slow. Sorry about that. For context, the chibi drawing is of Jack. I didn't like the colouring I did for his costume previously so I changed it again. This ons gives me more the clown vibe and a vanilla cake with sprinkles. Then just an added shy doodle.
This was a gift I gave to the creator @beauscreativecorner of the ship Lavenderplague, a ship between their oc Briar and the Doctor. I think these two are super cute and Beau's reactions to receiving gifts is nice <:3
I had to do it. I had to colour in this beautiful piece. I absolutely loved the sketch! Thanks again for the og idea @beththeartster. <3
And ofc, I want the awesome @ommiotta to see this too. (*/ω＼*)
Hold I have a question out of slight curiosity, and bc I’m kinda a sucker for Jack lol/silly
Anyways: for him in the hotel au, will his voice claim still be the same like the original one that’s voiced by darth(Vader)suki? (LOL SRRY I HAD TO ADD THAT-)
Soooo yee that’s all! Bye byeeee
Honestly, I'm happy you like Jack. The og and au version. :3
Yeah, I don't think his voice would really change. Tho, funny fact about me and him, whenever I voice him, I give him the most baby voice. Cuz it's funny and I couldn't help myself after someone among my friends called him a potato boy.
Here is Jack's updated design btw, in chibi form! The first drawing with him holding a flower was inspired by doodles my friend Kivi, @forest-of-delusions, had made. <3
These sketches were made by Kivi, and Scapin from my other drawing also belongs to her. Thank you for making my days with these bestie!
Wait- i might have a drawing idea if you’re mind is out of ideas! Just incase if you wanna use’em!
Hear me out- Jack (the hotel au one) Accidentally witnesses Harlequin and Pierrot fighting eachother with pans and rollers, idk why i just think it seems funny-
Anyways BAIIII
Thank you so much for the request! I had the perfect image in mind lol.
Their fights would make Jack very nervous. He'd try to get in between them to try and stop the fights or if they continue he goes to get Jester. Yeah, my son is a snitch, but only because he doesn't like conflict.
Thank you again for the request! You may give me more anytime.

Sky: I wouldn't say his box is cursed. Jack doesn't really see it that way either. He's happy to finally think for himself instead of letting HUNGER control every aspect of his life. The box is also a symbol that not all humans are bad, since it wasn’t always a music box either. That aspect came after meeting his human friend.
@wondernerd194
Jack: A cook? I mean… Pierrot is usually the one that makes the food, liebling. Just because you can cook doesn’t mean I'll change my mind about you! (Checks to see if Jester is around.)
(Whispers) Where can I find you for those meals though?
Jack: M-me?! But you have Pierrot's scent. Aren't you already his mate, liebling? I can't betray him in that way! He'll be crushed!
@forest-of-delusions
Jack: I like the smell of rain. It... gives me a chance to reminiscence on the past, where I could just stand under the falling water and let drops land on my face. I don't like the smell of gasoline all that much. Harlequin spilled a bit near the vehicles at a point and I couldn't stop sneezing.
Sky: Jack doesn't remember much of his time back then. HUNGER was always so prevalent that it made his brain foggy. He did however have a mother who raised him to a certain extent and then he was alone for a long time. But fate is a funny thing. As is magic.
He did have a human friend at some point, but she has met a gruesome and tragic end.
Sky: He is actually pretty young. Around near Harlequin’s age, maybe even younger. In human years he would be like 20 years old.
Sky: Oh! One question that no one asked him yet is how he got his name. Even when he was young, he didn't really have a name. He learned only much later how important names could be when he was able to think clearly. It was his human friend who actually gave him his name, since she owned a jack in the box. He kept that name since then.
Sky: When he could think clearly, he wore a potato sack for pants and a cloak for hide his face and antlers. (he started pulling them off to blend in better)
Then he also had a change of clothes when he saw a human performing for kids at a carnival. He wanted to hear more of their laughter, so he had a snack and took the guy's costume. He started learning how to perform since then.
Jack: It was Jester who found me. I was hungry, eating one of the fools when he stumbled upon me. After that, I remember that I was fed some more, I was properly clothed and was taught how to take care of myself. But... I wasn't ready to leave yet. I've been alone for so long, I didn't want to leave. I think Jester was reluctant to let me stay, but I don't know for sure. He let me stay anyway, despite everything...
I owe him everything...
Sky: Hehe. Apart from having claws and sharp teeth like the other clowns, those are mostly all his animal parts. He does have some animalistic instincts however, like referring to intercourse as mating, marking, scenting, grooming and can get territorial over his mates/partners.
Sky: He met her around the time when freak circuses where popular. He was starting to perform in circuses by then, in secret of course, and he stumbled upon her there. She was young, trusting. She really liked his silly acts. She was the reason why Jack would be so protective and affectionate with human children. Their friendship tragically ended however when Jack had a hunger episode and unintentionally consumed her. To the humans, the girl was never found...
@beththeartster
Jack: Ah! L-liebling?! I don't... heh, I don't think Pierrot will like having his mate's scent on my clothes... (He chuckles nervously, taking the rose you hand him. His over hand fidgets with his pants, the makeup barely able to hide the growing blush at the kiss marks on his face.)
(Whispers) Pats and hugs are fine though...
Really sorry I missed this since Christmas... 😅
@astromati24
Jack: Oh, I love Christmas! Pierrot always makes such a wonderful feast! As for your question for regarding humans... Hmm... I suppose their resilience. Or maybe how they were able to evolve as the years passed. Children will always be the same though. Always the most precious little stars!
@dinosaurbigfeet
Jack: Um... no? Doctor did suggest I can wear glasses if I wanted. But I don't want to bother Ticket Taker about it. I don't like burdening the finances... B-besides! I'm already used to not seeing that well anyway.
He does have glasses in a dif au though, so he's good in another universe :D
@beauscreativecorner
Sky: Ohhhh! I really like that you asked me this. His box can play any melody depending on his mood. When he is happy, there will be a joyful melody! If he is more sad, then the melody is macabre. And then there is when he is hunting.
Imagine yourself alone, in the dark. Till suddenly, you hear a familiar melody play from your childhood. Was it a nurse rhythm? Or something your mother would hum to put you to bed? Regardless of what it is, it draws you closer, like an angler's lure. And before you know it, you are sucked into the box.
Jack: Hmm... I've always liked the smell of lavender. I think lavender? Or was it daisies? The yellow ones though! I like the yellow daisies.
@syntrixthejester
Jack: Here, liebling! Hugs are always welcome! (He lifts you up from the ground and hugs you against his chest. He is mindful not to squeeze you too tightly.)
@laweaaburrida
Jack: Pierrot has made few deserts that I grown to like. I don't remember most of their names, but I think I like macaroons. Oh! And a apple crumble is delious!
AND I'M FINALLY DONE!!!
Thank you for everyone who participated. Next time, I'll just let ya'll ask questions in the question box. It's always open and I'm willing to answer anything :3
I just remembered I completely forgot to do the qna for Jack that I wanted to do last year. I wanted to put artwork there so it could look appealing to the eye, but my adhd brain just fucking went off with other projects I had. I still want to answer them for ya'll and I'll add a bit of art later. Just some shitty lil doodles at least.
