PAYPAL IS TRYING TO SLIP THE RUG UNDER US. Or they may have said this and just no one read about it or noticed/knew.

OKAY SO BEFORE YOU SEND ANY MONEY FOR THAT AWESOME COMMISSION YOU WANT TO BUY FROM THAT AWESOME ARTIST. PLEASE STOP AND READ THIS.

Paypal changed the look of how you will fill out information and send money. Thus, you need to be super careful. Don’t go all willy nilly through and be like “Yeah yeah yeah send” you need to stop when you see this screen right away.

Before you proceed, you will first notice one major thing: your address is showing. What you need to do if you are ordering a DIGITAL WORK (aka, it is being sent to you via the interwebz) is you need to click on your address and there around be a drop down menu of 3 (or more) options:

No address needed

Your Current Address

+ Add a new shipping address

Be sure to select “No address needed”, it is very important that you do. If you leave your address in there, Paypal will assume that you are to receive a physical package. A physical package which needs proof that exists physically. Paypal will want the artist to provide shipping labels and tracking info on said package. This is bad, very, very bad. Artists can get in trouble if they cannot provide these things.

Please, if an artist asks to send you back your money so that you can send it again correctly, do not be offended. You are paying them to do your commission, how can they do your commission with no money?

Reblog this, send this around, if you want to make a proper tutorial go ahead, I hope this was clear enough as it is.

Important!!!

And in case the buyer does do this, there is a work around. All you have to do is click on the transaction and go to “edit tracking info” at the bottom.

Then go to order status and set to “Processed/Service Rendered.”

This will let paypal know that the order was a digital good, and no shipping was required.

You just have to check your incoming payments and make sure to do this if this does happen. Cause you aren’t notified otherwise. And you really only get in trouble if left unnoticed.

2016 in a Glance

2016 was...SOMETHING. It had the most roller coaster events compared to the other earlier years, and for that and many more, I'll be always thankful.

As for my fArt, I have six to show for this year. I refuse to say "only six", because six is better than zero. A part of me wishes I could've been more productive, but a part of me also wants to believe that quantity doesn't always mean quality.

I also want to believe that I've improved. That I'm improving. And that I'll keep on improving. I hope y'all are still here to help me through all of it.

Here's to a fArtful 2017! OwO

Inktober: The Potioneer

I wanted to make something from the 31 Witches prompt, so I used a random number generator and got the Potion Witch.

I wanted this potioneer to live in a world where she could be both extraordinary and ordinary. That’s why she makes her potions in the kitchen and why she’s also a huge Potterhead.

Black and sepia India inks, brushes, dip pens, and Uni ball Signo white gel pens on Bristol.

I’m thinking of putting this up as a print! Anybody interested? OwO

Inktober 001: Day 2

I won’t be doing the daily Inktober, but will be posting 3x a week. I also don’t want to do any prompts because when I do them I always think of grand concepts, and I might not finish in time. XD

Anyway, here’s a couple of full-body inked sketches commissioned by a lovely person. I finished the first early in September, so it technically doesn’t count as an Inktober entry, but the second one I finished within time. They’re supposed to be a matched set. They’re Grecian-inspired magical girls, with one having the power of dark and one having the power of light.

Also! I made videos of these two showing the inking process. I’ll be posting the link to the first one tomorrow, since I won’t be posting for Inktober. :D

Like my art? Buy me a coffee! OwO

Buy me a coffee? OwO

You gais, I opened up a Ko-Fi account! Now you can help fund my fArt journey by donating the price of a cup of coffee! OwO

Your donations will help me get better-quality fArt materials (W&N watercolors, I’m looking at ya) and ultimately help me produce more fArtworks. I’ll be forever grateful to anyone who donates. ♥
