Aaand because I had burned my day fussing with a logo, why not make it a full personal art day and play with an idea that'd been knocking around in my brain for a while.

I'd been low-key following @jayrockin and their Runaway to the Stars project, and it got me thinking at one point what a centaur foodie might look like in that setting, especially when traveling abroad and having to get creative for making their limited food resources more interesting. I've no doubt she's a frequent visitor of the med bays as she's been too tempted by good smells to try adding into her growing list of recipes. She'll insist it's all for a good cause though! Not sure how I want her markings to be, or if she's a part of a roving clan, or one of those outlier exchange program kids. Then there's the whole name.. thing...

Hey guys!

Yesterday I had to go into the doctors for some pain at the base of my spine, and long-story short I've been down two days, and may need a third before I can hit the road again and keep working for my monthly budget needs - which unfortunately is putting me way behind on my bill needs.

So! I'm opening some emergency sketch commissions that are Pay-What-You-Want to help towards the time lost in recovery from the minor operation that is currently making sitting a unique form of discomfort.

Ideally I'm aiming for about $200 to cover today and yesterday, or today and tomorrow if I need to stay down with pain meds again and still dealing with nausea from antibiotics.

I currently only take payments through Paypal as that's all I have set up for the time being.

Leave a comment or send a note with the form below, and I'll get with you while I'm working on clearing out my few remaining pieces in my list!

What these Include-

- A fullbody refined pencil sketch with minimal basic shading and colored (dark characters will receive a lineart-only version as well for details) - Full size and Web sized PNGs in a compressed ZIP file.

Can Do-

- Just about any species real, extinct, fantasy, etc

- Strange body conformations (think taur, mer, etc) - Anthros

Can't Do-

- Humanoid Faces - I can fudge most details, but outright human faces are still a major hurdle for me to work with.

Heya! Been a little silent from job hunting, and I just scored a new job last Friday. It's been a hectic learning curve, but things are starting to click in place!

At the moment though the shift to a new job takes up most of my viable dashing days, and I found myself in a bit of a corner with a bill coming up! As I'm down to two small commissions on my list, I'm opening up slots to add a few more to this next batch! Looking to aim for about 4-6 to include with this group that I can poke at over the weekends - as they've been fun and relatively swift to do when I'm able to sit down and chug through them.

I'm still currently only taking payments via Paypal, but leave a comment or send in a note/dm/mssg with the form below, and I can look into getting you on the list and send a note for additional details!

What these Include- -A fullbody refined pencil sketch with minimal basic shading, and colored (dark characters will receive a lineart-only version as well to show off the hidden details). - Full size and Web sized PNGs in a compressed ZIP file

Can Do-

-Just about any species real, extinct, fantasy, ARPG, etc

- Unusual body plans (centaur*, mermaid, etc)

     *On occasion I'll take on one or two humanoid-faced characters to try working towards developing those as a skill and style, but it's very case-by-case and unpredictable

-Anthros

Maybe Can Do-

- Humanoid faces - this is still a big hurdle for me, and progress on them is going to be a lot slower for the moment. I will accept these on a case-by-case basis.

Finally managed to get a few ArtFight attacks in for my first run through the event! Figured I'd try it out to see what it was like, and.. not sure if I'm fully up for the anxiety down the line while trying to juggle life responsibilities, but hopefully I made a few folks happy!

One of my more recent commissions! The client wanted an upgraded color to their sketch of their Dracostryx character, but I also added in the sketch-only version so you can see all the deets!

Houi! This one was a bit of a three day carver to get this from sketch to finish! I didn't publicly announce the streams for this so I could work a little more one-on-one with Myfi and pause as needed if we needed to discuss some things or look up references. It's been a long time since I attempted any flames in my works, and I'm pretty content with how they turned out in this one so far - lots to still learn and figure out though - as always!

She wanted to see how I might approach making a fusion reactor look something like a heart, as Myfi is a biomechanical being (roughly equivalent to a dragon-jet - ish....), and while I inadvertently slipped a faint heart motif in there in the shape language, pretty chuffed overall with how it turned out!

I also notice each time I do a commission piece of Myfi, it's like an advancement level where I make some kind of leap in a skill or knowledge, and realize, "Well.. crud, maybe they were right about underselling myself... hah.." But, was fun nonetheless working on all her little details, and playing with glow effects.

This was also the last of my big pieces owed prior to the emergency batch - so onwards to the next set!

Graduation pic from my last batch of mystery critters!

They were fun to do, even if I lost two years between when these were opened and the last one drafted out >_>

Spent maybe a week's worth of stolen 1-2 hr spurts working on this as an offline status for my Twitch channel I was setting up as an alternative for picarto on the off-chance I needed to host a stream elsewhere while also livening up my general site appearance... ... Turns out that Twitch doesn't recognize animated gifs >:< Boo So for now, here you guys can enjoy a little sleepy birb-beast!
