hey there!! regarding commissions: i would reallllllly love a piece with my group of oc's all together by you, but there's a problem- i have 7!! is there any way we could work out some sort of deal or way i could convince you to do a 7-character piece?

Hey man! I would love to draw all seven of your characters. Groups are really fun for me. What kind of price range are you looking for?

I believe my original commissions pitch for an ink + watercolors painting was a base price of $10+ for “a group of three characters at no extra charge”, so for seven characters, we could double the base price: $20+.

(The + indicating whatever $ you want to add, based on time spent/quality of the piece/depth of your wallet, and is totally optional.)

Let me know how that sounds to you, and we can work something out. ;) Also, feel free to contact me via email ( [email protected] ) and send along your character references, commission description, etc since sometimes tumblr messages go astray.

If I had paypal and money I would donate lotsa money to you. Idk I really love your art and it inspires me a lot! huhu

Woah, thank you! I appreciate the sentiment and your kind words. ;) I’d much rather draw something for you than just have you donate money or something… I wish I could draw art for free for everyone, everywhere, and just send comics and things sailing out into the world at no cost to anyone… I wish money wasn’t so important in this world! Maybe someday, eh? We’ll keep on fighting the good fight, in the meanwhile!

Hi, I was wondering if you still have any commission spots open (sketch + color or ink + color) and if you sketch characters based on real people. I am looking for something PG rated to illustrate a fic - handholding, that kind of thing. Thank you!

Hello! Thanks for your interest. Slots are still open for both those categories and I’d be happy to try and sketch characters based on photographs. My style’s cartoony and nowhere near realistic, so let me know what details of the characters you want to keep/emphasize. Feel free to keep sending me info here on tumblr or at [email protected] (<—email more reliable)
