I don't want to sound rude or anything but, why won't you draw the Sanders Sides? I don't have anything against you, I just want to know for future references.

It’s not rude! I was honestly waiting for someone to ask tbh lol I just kinda have a problem with the characters in a sense? It’s complicated- like I love Thomas! I loved his vines, I love what an icon he is for the LGBT+ community, I love how creative he is and I love the concept behind the sides a lot! The fact that they’re egos based on parts of his personality is so interesting. But like all of my friends and nearly all the fandoms I love loves them and I watched the videos and I just couldn’t get into them no matter how hard I tried. And like then when the past couple videos dropped it was during really bad depressive spirals I had... so now I just kinda associate the characters with that awful feeling. ...I don’t really have too much of a problem with the main 4? Like Patton, Roman, Virgil and Logan? Cuz again love the concepts and their character designs are actually very nice. But, yeah... that’s the best way I can explain it. If people really want I can maybe draw the main ones? Given I’m in the right place 😅

Hello Mod Mellow! I'll be emailing you soon about a commissioning a 1k fic, but as this is my first time commissioning someone (hooray :D), I was wondering if you could talk a little bit more about the overall process of requesting one? (I hope it's okay to ask this here. Thought it might also help anyone else who was interested but might be a little shy/unsure of how to proceed! If not, responding privately is a-okay too ^^)

Lucky for you, I got this exact question a while back from another commissioner! Here’s what I told them; my process is simple:

- The client tells me what sort of fic they’d like to commission, with as much detail as possible given so that I can create a story/scenario that they would enjoy most. This can be a Reader-Insert, involving Original Characters, or just an original piece revolving around a specific prompt or situation the client lists. It can also be SFW or NSFW, though if Mature content is requested, I’d need verification of legal age.

- For payment, I’d need the client’s primary/PayPal email address so I could organize an invoice to send to them after the piece is finished. I won’t ask for payment until the fic is ready to be posted or delivered (depending on the client’s preference).

- Each fic is $5 per 500 words. If additional details are needed for the story/scenario, I’d contact the client for them, or if there’s anything else the client wants to add to their story, they may reach out to me with them. It should take me at least a week (if not sooner) to finish the fic, depending on length and content.

I hope this helps to explain things a bit!

Hola se que ahora mismo no estas aceptando comisiones, pero quería saber si aceptas peticiones de selfship?

Holaaa!💖

Claro! En el post de promoción de mis comisiones hay una pequeña lista de las cosas que no estoy dispuesta a dibujar (por lo general). No tengo problema con los selfships!~

PD: si alguién tiene una petición muy específica para una comisión y piensa que podría resultarme incómoda, siempre estoy dispuesta a escuchar su propuesta antes de determinar si aceptaría o no :)

Commissions FAQ:

Question: Am I allowed to give you assets I've found for a commission? Answer: Yes. You can give me as many assets as you want, just let me know WHERE you've found them so I can give credit to them (if it's unofficial or something you've found on places like Deviantart). I'd also like for you to work with me on getting what you want. So anything helps.

Question: Do I pay NOW or AFTER I get my commission? Answer: After. That way I'm not freaking out about being paid before I've done anyway work.

Question: How big are your icon Borders and any respective PSDs that go along with them? The dividers? Answer: Originally they were 290x65 but I found that to be TOO small. So I'm in the process of redoing that (doesn't take me long) to 540x121. The dividers are 540x90.

Question: Will you ever put up bundles? Answer: Yes I will! As soon as I figure out a good price for them. Different bundles mean different prices.

Question: Speaking of prices, are they all in USD? Answer: Yes, I'm American. It's the only currency that I deal with on a day to day basis. So that means for those who live outside the US or its territories, there's going to be some conversions going on.

Question: Are you going to make layouts at any point? Answer: No, unfortunately, coding and layout making is beyond me. But I will always be happy to point you over to my current sister site/affliate: uchihasources for those.

[ridiculously-over-obsessed]

are you selling fandom works or original fiction?

So this is a bit of a tricky question dkljglkdfgdfg obviously for commissions I can't charge for fandom works, that's a huge illegal copyright thing that I obviously don't want to run into. BUT if you had a fandom idea there's no reason we can't rework it into a piece of original fiction (it's something I've done more than once for uni assessments tbh).

Obviously things like character names, settings etc have to be changed for the sake of protecting myself, but there is a lot to be done to get around that copyright issue that I can do so please don't let that put you off if you want something!!

What are more or less the boundaries of what you would consider as acceptable and unacceptable NSFW? (You can think if this in the context of yor commissions too)

Hmmm well as unacceptable would be anything involving drawing bare female/male private parts. In other worlds, nothing too raw (?). And acceptable would be provocative poses or clothing; things like that. Things that give the idea without being too explicit.
