Hello! If you are still taking requests, could you do something with feathers please? Thank you. Have a good day!

Definitely!

[stainedglasshoard]

if you're still doing requests, I would love to see some kind of monarch butterfly design with the pink/orange lesbian flag colors if at all possible! sorry if you aren't!

Ooooo definitely!

[stainedglasshoard]

Oh! Are you doing requests? If it isnt too much trouble, could I request something snake themed?

I am doing requests! Any particular species of snake?

[stainedglasshoard]

Could you do a hobbit hole, or something inspired by Lord of the Rings?

Definitely!

[stainedglasshoard]

I have exactly two requests- 1 could you do the Glow Cloud (all hail) from welcome to nightvale? And 2 could you do one for my absolute favorite E.A.P. short story ever, The Mask of The Red Death-? Like maybe smth to do with the different rooms? I just think it would look so cool

Definitely! I actually think i have a rough draft of one for mask of the red death in some folder or another!

Requests are officially open!

I probably wont be able to get around to all of them, because I am but one man, but ill get to as many as I can!

[stainedglasshoard]

I sent you a request eons ago for a yellow potatoes and molasses stained glass. This isn’t a pushy reminder this is me saying the person I asked for it for turned out to be really horrible and I will never be in contact with them again so honestly no worries lmao. Still love your art!

Lmao yeah, sorry about the requests that never got done and have since been eaten by my inbox/blog clean ups. 

I was going to reopen requests because of the new year though, so thank you for reminding me!
