Peyote Petite Commissions

Hello all!

Due to life circumstances, I must open commissions.

two months ago, my mother finally left my father, a violent drunk that has abused my mother, brothers and I for as long as we’ve been family. In a rush of alcohol and drugs, he has on several occasions been violent to us to the point where we had to call the police, yet that hasn’t stopped him from continuing to use gaslighting and other verbally and psychological methods to abuse us.

My mother has tried to make ends meet, she had two jobs on top of having to take care of the whole family and with my dad refusing to help her in any way, she overworked herself. Then she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to take chemotherapy, but that didn’t stop her from working, despite being weak and fragile. To top it all, she also needed a spinal surgery or she would have been paralysed from her chest and down. Thankfully the surgery went well, but it takes years for her body to be able to handle the everyday life as it once was capable of. Now, she is drowning in bills because she is too sick to work and is in the process of being diagnosed with both depression and PTSD - all thanks to my dad’s abuse, who doesn’t seem to understand how much he has broken his own family.This has resulted in me having to support my mother and my two brothers, despite my income being so low that I live below the poverty line. I’ve made ends meet by taking out loans to cover her bills and our medication, but I’m now in 26K debt and can hardly blame my bank for calling it quits.

I have my own struggles. I’m diagnosed with an evasive personality disorder, OCD and chronic depression (I know, quite the mouthful, isn’t it?) and while I have my good periods, I certainly have very bad ones too. It makes having a job exceedingly difficult and I can hardly blame potential employers not wanting to deal with a worker who’s 70% issues. What I get every month barely covers my rent, bills, food and medicine. I scrape every last penny I have to help my mother, which lately has resulted in me not being able to get my own medicine, pay my rent or to eat daily. Fortunately I have been able to get some of my bills postponed, while the others (like rent), I’m hoping to find the money to pay before the two payment reminders I’ve been sent runs out.

On top of that I’ve had to take in my dad’s dog (forcefully. It was being severely neglected) and I have no idea how on earth I am going to pay off the veterinary bills I’ve raked up on her. That being said, not getting her help is out of the question.

Needless to say, I can’t do this forever.

Why am I telling you all of this?

I want you to understand how desperately I have tried to sort all of this out myself. I’ve always been poor and life has always been tough, but I’m a private person and I’ve preferred to take care of myself and those around me. I try not to complain too much and I try not to depend on others. If I thought that I had any way out whatsoever, I would not be here. It is not easy for me to admit defeat, or even admit that I need help, but I do.

I need to be able to pay rent, I need to be able to help my dog Mille recover from what she has been through, I need to be able to buy my most important medication if not all of it, as well as enough food to eat every day, and maybe even a fridge to put it in, would be nice.

I can offer the following:

Drawing Commissions Traditional

20USD - B&W pen and ink

30USD - B&W simple coloring

40USD - Full colored

+5USD to base price if commission has extra/complex details (i.e. washi tape, gold ink, extreme details such as scales)

+10USD for any extra characters

+10USD for detailed backgrounds (i.e. a building, scene etc.)

+shipping cost if you want me to ship the drawing to you (price may vary depending where you live). If shipping is not chosen, a scanned, color corrected version will be sent digitally.  

I will not draw the following:

- Extremely violent, phobic, pornographic images

- Any kind of mental abuse depictions

Drawing Commissions Digital

30USD - Digital lineart with a few accents

40USD - Lineart and flat colours

+10USD to base price for any extra characters

I also offer ko-fi commissions!

For one ko-fi, you will be sent a picture of a cactus themed chibi, with a text of your choice in the speech bubble.

For two ko-fis, you will get two. I have a total of six designs planned and I will make sure that no one gets doubles.

One ko-fi = 3USD

Procedure

Please send me a DM with what type of commission you want and with any needed information about the character, such as a profile, pictures/references etc. The more the merrier! Please describe what you want me to do regarding poses, colours etc.

I will send you a picture of the base sketch of the drawing. If there is anything you would like me to change, this is the chance to. Otherwise, if everything is ok, I will have to ask you to pay forward the amount for the commission. I ONLY accept Paypal!

Once I have received the payment, I will start working on the commission. Once finished, I will send a picture of it to you and, if requested, ship it to you once the shipping price has been determined.

Below is examples of all commission tiers, along with sketches of the planned ko-fi rewards.

Even if you do not request a commission with me, I will be eternally grateful if you reblog this. Every little thing helps. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this <3

So, digital art is a fairly new endavour and as a result every piece takes... forever. Weeks. It’s worth it though - I like the freedom to experiment that it offers. This here is of an RP character of mine, Bailey, and a friend’s character, Rhett. I adore these two babies.

Also yes, that is indeed a closeup or the boots. Tried out a new way of doing lineart and I ended up liking how it looked.

This is entirely inspired by the playboy photoshoot that Ezra Miller did. That boy was bamf.

Lately I’ve been really happy about exploring different mediums. So this time I combined acrylic paint, washi tape and markers!

I’ve been kind of into ball jointed dolls lately, so I wanted to draw one for fun. I was inspired by some of the amazing, painted dolls out there!

The colouring took ages, but for once I’m actually satisfied with it. I really like how the skin came out.

Ahem, censored for decency.

I am a bit late to the whole ‘playing with washi tape’ trend, but better late than never, right? I really enjoyed it.

This is Michon, a witch that specialise in in bugs, arachnids and reptiles of all kinds. What’s not to love about them?
