Hi guys. This will be my pinned for the foreseeable future as I make most of my funds through commissions. I will be much better about posting and checking this blog as I have multiple things I want to do through it. However, you can contact me through Discord or ask (as I have them both to alert me when someone needs messages me). I will not see DMs, as there is no alert to tell me when someone messages me from another blog.
My most preferred method of commission is through VGen right now, as I don’t trust P*yP*l and K*-Fi isn’t really gaining a lot of traction for me right now. If there is something on my VGen that appeals to you PLEASE order, I would love to draw for you (just please read all of my rules and conditions, I’ve had bad experiences in the past when people would not read them fully).
I primarily draw DND and Pathfinder characters, but I have in the past drawn VTubers and PNGTubers for streaming, both custom and already designed. I love your little guys!
I will not do writing commissions, please don’t ask. Any requests pertaining to anything but art will be ignored.
I know I make this type of post so often, and I'm so sorry, but if you could help me out and spread this around, that'd be a real help to me.
TL;DR: I need to continually raise money to keep myself afloat, but for right now I need to raise at least 500$ to get myself out of bills and get my computer up and running again. I only need 50-60$ USD to get my computer running again, but the rest are for medical and student loans bills.
This is for my computer stuff. I need 300$ for my medical bills and 125$ for my student loans.
IF YOU DONATE TO MY KO-FI AT A MINIMUM OF 15$ USD AT LEAST, SEND ME A RECEIPT AT [email protected] AND I'LL DRAW YOU A SKETCH WITH COLOR OF ANY CHARACTER YOU WANT!

hello and welcome to the circus, i am the only clown you'll find /j
no but okay! i'm thoroughly in need of money and while i love to freely draw for people, i'm kind of strapped for cash and i'm... relatively unable to work (though my family insists otherwise, all my healthcare providers have gone "yikes" professionally). i offer a lot more than just drawings, but you can see what i offer for your perusal on my carrd for such!

the basics however is this:
a lot of things in my life are kinda breaking? and while i have the luck of a scavenger on my side, that luck can and likely will run out. i need to replace things i use for my work (art and graphics) and i need to pay some very overdue bills in the form of paying the person who has been keeping me afloat. if ya could at least spread this, that'd be great. if you can only spare a few dollars, then you're free to hit me up on my ko-fi over here.

Seeing art of Loki reminded me recently of my old fandom FFVII, so much that it got me whiplashed when I realised the similarities - my fave character was (is) Vincent Valentine, he’s my homeboy, my rotten soldier, my sweet cheese, my good time boy.
UMM. I KNOW I JUST MADE A CALMER ONE BUT I UPDATED MY PRICES AND THEN EVERYTHING WENT TO SHEISTA. sooooo. here's a more urgent post with different prices from my new carrd but if you CAN do the original prices for anything, that'd be lovely.
here's the carrd with updates prices: https://kourensstudio.carrd.co
AS FOR WHY THIS IS SO URGENT!!!
i have been unemployed since march/april of this year, and the family i live with is starting to threaten turning off my phone (aka the way that jobs get a hold of me) and fail to realize what they're threatening. (having no RELIABLE means of contact IMMEDIATELY puts you out of the ring for jobs these days!) so if you all could spare a few dollars towards my k*fi page (https://ko-fi.com/mordredslullaby) i would be overjoyed! i just need to get enough money to pay back a couple months of the phone bill and continue doing commissions!
so if you want to commission me, i'm giving this post a discount code for those who commission me for anything on my carrd.
the code is WAYWARD, to be used on my K*FI page when checking out! it gives 25% off EVERY COMMISSION, while specifically for those that want custom icons, templates, and borders for roleplay here, there is KINGSGRAVE which gives 10% off icons specifically. they will not work with each other and if they do, i would ask you don't?
if you can send anything at all, and it's not 5$, send it to my paypal @ [email protected] .
hey, it's mordred again. i'm a 22 y/o artist that has severe chronic pain, PTSD and schizoaffective-bipolar. while i tend to not let that get me down while being active, this does prevent me from holding a stable job that will actually put that faith in me. as such, i'm restricted to making icons, graphics, and doing art for a living. there's plenty of these posts going around at this time of year or...any time of year, but if you could spare a few dollars to help keep me out of a bad situation at home as well as possibly getting a small doodle out of it then i would be most grateful.

a few dollars will be more than enough, and if you donate more than 20, i'll do a full body sketch of whatever character you want or really anything you want.
explanation of why i'm making this post under the cut.
Uhhhh. Tldr! my family is extremely emotionally... well, manipulative, and they do not seem to contextually be aware of how bad my mental illnesses and physical illnesses are, forcing me to do a lot of things even on my worst days or risk getting, ah, Comments that make me feel worse.
long story:
um... let's start with a short list of why i'm incapable of working a steady job.
i have right leg sciatica that causes me intense pain, i have anemia to a point that i can no longer register heat but im hypersensitive to all things cold, and my C-PTSD and schizoaffective-bipolar type disorder often make me be seen as a "herald" of bad things happening, but in reality i hear voices that don't exist and i see things that aren't real off and on. i also have severe ADHD and i'm very queer (genderfluid pansexual demiromantic disabled) and also have a reputable source (thrice over) saying that my DNA is not as white as i originally thought! but i won't pull a card i don't have just because i mention it now, i know what privilege i have being white-more than passing.
my parents are guilt tripping and emotionally manipulative, and often ignore the fact that i have a name i don't want to be called by. not respecting the name on account that "mordred" is too difficult to say or has bad connotations to help me or even bothering to ask my pronouns for the week or maybe longer. my sibling is no different, often getting mad when i try to eat (ah yes the underweight almost under 100lbs at 22 and 5'5") anything that isn't something made for us at an unreliable dinner.
they won't even let me go to a food bank for MYSELF and deny needing extra help with raised rent.
