I decided to commission an artist to do some of my OCs and so a great search began to find someone whose style I liked and who was in my price range AND who had commissions open. I ended up compiling a list so I could keep them all straight and thought I’d share it. A lot of them are quite affordable and it’s so great to support learning and growing artists, so please have a look! Most of them will do pretty much any fandom and OCs and the ones I’ve contacted have been super nice. :)
I’ve put whether the artist is open or closed for commissions (though of course this is subject to change) and linked to their pages on commissions. I also put the price of a basic color waist up picture. Of course, most of them have cheaper options, but I used that as a basis. I’ve also included how much they charge to add a character. Costs are also subject to change, so make sure to check their info.

So I was inspired to write a drabble by this edit. http://dontbaekaway.tumblr.com/post/148378126365/beautyeol
So here it is.
So Baek and Soo are playing video games (probs Overwatch cuz that’s what they’re into lately) and Chanyeol and Suho are watching on the couch. Chanyeol starts getting bored waiting for his turn to play and holds out his palm, absentmindedly conjuring glowing embers from it. His eyes glaze over and he stares at the growing flames in his hand without really paying attention to them. Baek yells suddenly at the screen while he’s battling an enemy and Chanyeol redirects his attention to the game. Moments later, Soo leaps up from his place on the rug and yells, clutching at a singed spot on his shoulder of his shirt.
“Yah!” he yells angrily, his stare piercing into Chanyeol.
Meanwhile, Suho is trying to stamp out a small fire that has begun to burn a hole into the rug and Baekhyun is rolling on the floor, dying of laughter.
Suho quickly produces a globe of water from his palm and lets it fall onto the charred carpet, causing steam to rise from the hole.
He sighs. “Yeol, we talked about this.”
“I know, I’m sorry. I don’t even realize I’m doing it,” Chanyeol says apologetically.
“Yeah well, next time, I’m gonna make sure you know,” Kyungsoo says bitingly and kicks Baek for laughing.
“Guys, calm down. Let’s just play the game. We’ll worry about the rug later,” Suho says.
Kyungsoo sits back down, now noticeably grumpy and with a ruined shirt.
Chanyeol knows it will be a while before he hears the end of this.
Hey guys, just dropping in to say I’m not dead. Just have been working on non-kpop writing lately. Thanks for sticking around and welcome new readers! :)
Helloooo, it’s been a while. Sorry about that. I’ve got a full time job and I’ve been doing other creative things lately. Anyways, I watched Netflix’s Daredevil a while back and I’m in love with him. It gave me the inspiration for a DD drabble so here it is. Thanks for reading!
“Thanks, it was fun,” she said to Jongdae once they arrived at her doorstep.
Jongdae smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “It was.”
He heard her shoe on the ground as she took a step. Her warmth was closer, her heart beating slightly faster.
“I want to ask you something, but I don’t want to offend you,” she said.
“Go ahead.”
“Well...we’ve known each other for a couple months now and we’ve been on a few dates but...do you know what I look like?”
Jongdae thought for a moment in silence at how to answer her. He could hear her heart speeding with nerves.
“I’m sorry,” she said. “You don’t have to answer that. Of course you don’t know what I look-”
“No no, it’s fine. I’m just trying to think of how to answer you.”
“Oh.”
“It’s...complicated,” he said after a moment’s pause.
“How so?” she asked.
“I see you. Just...differently.”
“You mean, through your other senses?”
“Sort of…it’s hard to explain.” He hesitated, debating with himself whether he should continue.
“You can come inside. It’s cold out here,” she suggested.
“I don’t know. I don’t want to keep you up.”
“It’s fine. I like getting to know you better,” she said.
Jongdae nodded. “Okay.”
His date led him into her apartment by the arm and he let her, though he didn’t exactly need it.
“You can sit, the couch is right here,” she said and took a seat next to him.
Jongdae heard her take off her coat and he followed suit, suddenly very aware of the increased heat between them.
“Go ahead...if you want to,” she said.
Jongdae nodded. “I have a general idea of what you look like. Like when we hug, I can tell that you’re a few inches shorter than me. I asked Baekhyun what color your hair was once. He said you dye it brown.”
“You can ask me those things if you want to,” she said.
Jongdae smiled, a little embarrassed. “Well, it was before we had been introduced so...I thought it might be a little awkward to just go up to you and ask what color your hair was.”
“So you were interested in me even then?” She asked flirtatiously.
Jongdae chuckled to himself. “You caught me.”
“So, you know I’m shorter than you with brown hair. I could be pretty ugly in the face for all you know.”
“You’re not,” Jongdae said confidently.
“What, did you ask Baek about that too?” she asked with a smile in her voice.
“No...I can tell.”
“How?”
“I have heightened senses because of my blindness. But, not the kind you hear about. Did Baek tell you how I became blind?”
“All he said was it a car accident when you were little.”
“It was, but it was a truck carrying radioactive material. There was a spill in the accident and it blinded me.”
“Oh, he didn’t mention that,” she said timidly.
“I don’t tell many people. He probably didn’t think it was his place,” Jongdae said. “But...whatever that stuff was, affected my senses and heightened them to beyond normal. So, I can’t see, but I can.”
“What do you see then?” she asked.
Jongdae paused to look at her. She was made of reds, oranges, and yellows, all shifting and moving together. They changed when she breathed, when her heart rate increased, when the surface of her skin cooled and warmed. She was a mirage of embers; always alive and changing.
“Fire,” he said softly.
“What?”
“Disturbances in the air, temperature, movements. They all send signals back to me and it forms images.The closest thing I can relate it to is flames. It’s not very clear, but I can get a better idea through touch.”
“So you see better than you let on.”
“Ah, caught again,” Jongdae said. “I just don’t want to draw attention to it, you know?”
“But it helps if you feel things?” she asked.
“Yes, my sense of touch is heightened too,” Jongdae said.
“Would it help you to see me if you touched my face?” she asked.
Jongdae heard her heart speeding once again and his soon matched it.
“If you’re okay with it,” he said.
“Yeah, here,” she said and took his hand in hers, bringing it up to her cheek. “Go ahead,” she said and let her hand rest in her lap once more.
Jongdae shifted on the couch towards her and cupped her face in his hands. He made sure to be gentle, ghosting across the different surfaces of her face. He brushed across the warm blush of her cheeks and felt her lashes flutter against his fingertips. Tracing her brow and down the length of her nose, he mapped her as he went.
“How does it feel?” she asked, hardly above a whisper.
“Soft. Warm…” he said, moving his thumb across her jawline while his other traced the shape of her lips. “...beautiful...sorry, that was cheesy.”
Jongdae felt her mouth draw up into a smile beneath his touch. “It was pretty cheesy, but I’ve heard worse,” she said.
“Oh, good,” Jongdae laughed. He moved closer to her and their smiles faded. He could feel her soft breath on his face, her pulse speed beneath his fingers. “Can I kiss you?” He asked quietly.
“Yes,” she breathed.
Jongdae pressed his lips to hers and she instantly flooded his senses. Her taste, the softness of her lips, her hand as it found the back of his neck. Everything was her; it was as if the rest of the world faded out. The traffic outside, people talking on the street corner. The smell of the night’s rain mingled with her skin and the citrus shampoo in her hair. Any cold from outside was obliterated by the heat between them.
I just want to say that i really like your jaehwan stories! <333 Jaehwan really fits quirky/fairytale-ish characters <333 if i don't know jaehwan and vixx i might think that the stories are from real life myth or real history! <333
This is so nice! I really appreciate messages like this. Thank you! Ken just kind of inspires fantasy type writing with me haha I’m not sure why but I’m glad you enjoy it! Those end up being some of the ones I’m most proud of. :)
Hey! :) I love your blog, lots of my favorite scenarios and fics are from here, thank you very much. ♥ I have a question too. (Just for inspiring you. ;)) What would VIXX do if their girlfriend has to study instead of preparing for Christmas? Thank you, and I wish you a merry Xmas! ^^
Aw thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you too! ^^
N: I think N would be understanding, though he’d be bummed out. He’d probably try to be very helpful and do things like ask if you needed anything. “It’s okay jagi, we can decorate later. Can I bring you some hot chocolate?”
Leo: He might bring Christmas to you, sneaking up behind you at your desk with a soft kiss to the back of your neck. “I thought you could use something to cheer you up,” he’d say and hand you an early present.
Ken: I think Ken would be the one who is bad for your studying. He’d want attention and he’d want you to take a break. “Jagi, you’ve been working so hard all day. Why don’t you come play with me a little?”
Ravi: He’d try to help decorate while you studied, hanging decorations in the living room as a surprise. When you’d come out, the lights might be a little crooked and some of the ornaments might be uneven but it’s endearing and you’d give him a warm hug of gratitude anyways.
Hongbin: Bin might try to help you out by asking if he can do anything for you like wrap some gifts, run some errands, put up some decorations. He knows you need to study and wants to do whatever he can to help.
Hyuk: Hyuk would help you study and he’d have fun doing it. I don’t think he’d be all that bummed out about not preparing for Christmas because if he still gets to spend time with you, it’s okay. The presents can wait.
N: I think N would like a cute, caring girl. If she were sweet and did little cute things without knowing it like giggle just so, scrunch her nose, hum to herself, play with her hair or her jewelry. He’d notice it all and be entranced by it, wanting to know more. Plus, he'd fawn over her all the time, telling her how cute she was, much like he does with some of his members.
Leo: I think Leo would like a sophisticated girl who has confidence and who is calm and collected like him. I see him liking a more feminine girl with a chic sense of style and a romantic side. Someone who likes to be wooed the old fashioned way. He’d definitely love it when a girl was good with babies or children. He’d see her and be like okay yes have my babies. Want to get started? ;)
Ken: Ken would like someone someone confident and fun and youthful. A good sense of humor is a must and he’d love it when she laughed at his jokes. I could see him just zoning out watching her smile and laugh, with little stars in his eyes. He'd need someone who could keep up with him and who wouldn't be overwhelmed by his big personality. Someone really chill, who could match his moods, whether silly or sexy.
Ravi: I think he'd like someone confident as well with a unique sense of style that’s her own. He'd like a girl who knows what she wants and speaks her mind; that kind of confidence. He'd like someone warm as well, who is a good listener and who he could share himself and his deeper feelings and thoughts with. Someone who could be there for him I think. Sort of like his other half.
Hongbin: He's a bit awkward and shy and he might need someone to counter that. He'd need a girl who wasn't embarrassed by his embarrassment but who could take the lead when needed. Someone he can trust and talk to, who understands him and his feelings.
Hyuk: I think Hyuk would want someone who could be fun and playful and laugh at his sharp sense of humor when the mood was right. He'd find wit and knowledge very attractive in a girl too. Someone who could keep up with his references and has a good head on her shoulders. He wouldn't want someone to fawn over him or baby him either. I think he'd want someone who did appreciate that he was cute, but who was attracted to him because they see how much potential he has and how much he's grown as well.
Here’s a couple more lightsaber drabbles. I don’t really have a plot-I mean I have ideas but I feel like I’ll write who the villain is and then EXO might drop another video on us and it will be different than what I wrote...which wouldn’t be the end of the world but for now I’m just keeping it at little relationship vignettes really. They aren’t continuous but they are in chronological order so here you go.
“One of these days I’m going to ban Jedi altogether.”
“You wouldn’t do that,” Sehun said.
“I would. I don’t even know why I associate with you.”
“Because I was your father’s favorite padawan,” he said with a smirk.
“You were his only padawan and a punk.”
“You know he liked me.”
Jiyeon huffed. “He did but he didn’t leave me this bar for it to be destroyed by warring Jedi.”
“Who said anything about destroying the bar?”
Jiyeon abruptly stopped walking and turned to face Sehun. “Do you know how terrifying it was in there? I don’t know that man and I don’t know what he’s capable of. He could have killed any one of us and I wouldn’t even have known why. The way you were acting around him...I’ve never seen you that serious. You can’t blame me for fearing the worst.”
Sehun swallowed, his adam’s apple bobbing noticeably. “Ji...I wouldn’t let anything happen to you.”
“You say that but you can’t always protect me. There are things beyond your control.”
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t tell you about it in there.”
“Then tell me now,” Jiyeon said firmly.
Sehun sniffed and rubbed his face in thought. “Can we go back to your place? It’s safer there.”
“Alright.”
Jiyeon sighed and covered her face with her hands wearily. “Oh, Sehun,” she groaned.
“That’s my name,” Sehun said.
Jiyeon pulled her hands down and looked at him seriously. “This isn’t funny. I don’t know how you can be so calm about it.”
“Years of training,” he said.
Jiyeon shook her head.
“It will be okay. You’re safe,” he said.
“I’m not worried about me, Sehun.”
“I’ll be fine. I learned from the best,” he said.
“The best went and got himself killed,” Jiyeon said abruptly.
Sehun had no snarky comeback to respond with and sat in sobered silence for a moment.
“Your father was fighting for a good cause,” Sehun finally said quietly. “The Order is here to protect innocents and keep the peace. You know that.”
“You call this peace then?” she asked.
“We do what has to be done in order to establish peace.”
“But it’s all war. It’s all fighting that leads to more fighting.”
“Jiyeon-” he began.
“If he hadn’t been a Jedi, he’d still be here.”
“That’s true but others wouldn’t. People whose lives he saved,” Sehun said.
Jiyeon looked at her hands in her lap and processed her thoughts. “Look. I know you people are known for being selfless, but I’m not, and I don’t want to lose you too,” Jiyeon said, her words thick with emotion.
Sehun, for one of the few times in his life, seemed to be speechless. A silence fell between the two of them until Jiyeon spoke again.
“It’s late. You should go home.”
“I’m sorry, Ji. I don’t know what to say.”
“There’s nothing to say. Just go. Text me when you get home.”
“Okay,” he said and rose to go to the door.
“Sehun?” she asked, stopping him.
“Yeah?”
“Please don’t get yourself killed.”
“I don’t plan to,” he said, opened the door and left.
So I actually wrote this months ago but I had to wait until I got to the word promise to post it. It’s just angsty mushy emotion stuff haha. The language is kinda like old timey. (That’s the technical term.)
“I will send more troops then,” Hakyeon said, irritation evident in his voice.
“The country cannot afford it,” his queen countered.
“Then I shall have to raise the taxes again,” he said dismissively and turned his back on her to leave, his robes sweeping behind him.
“You cannot!” she called after him in fierce defiance.
The king turned on his heel, his almond eyes ablaze at her.
“Why?” he asked.
“The people are hardly getting by as it stands. It is not right.”
“Do not tell me what is wrong and what is right,” he said sternly.
“I should not have to.”
“You don’t. No one asked,” he said coldly.
She sighed sadly. “You used to ask.”
Hakyeon’s brows knit together and the queen took a step closer to him.
“You used to come to me,” she said. “But now you are not the man I married and not the king this country once knew.”
There was hurt in Hakyeon’s eyes and he opened his mouth to speak but nothing came.
“I know the burden of a leader,” she continued. “You used to share it with me. You would weep on my shoulder when it became too much and I would help you to carry it. But now you have become hardened. Cold.”
The king looked at the ground with an injured expression, stunned and deep in thought.
“I do not mean to offend. I only wish to help you,” said his queen.
When Hakyeon raised his eyes to her once more, there were tears welling in them. “How long have you felt this way?” he asked.
“For a time,” was all she said.
“A king should not be soft,” he said. “It leaves room for weakness.”
She stepped close to him and gently lifted his chin with her finger. “I never saw weakness in you. But if you continue this way, the hardness of your heart will be your downfall.”
She could practically see the inner conflict in her husband’s face. Caught somewhere between throwing her words back at her and breaking down crying.
She moved her hand to cup his cheek and stroke it soothingly with her thumb. “There is strength in trust.”
Hakyeon closed his eyes to prevent his tears from escaping and she kissed his forehead lightly. “And there is bravery in baring yourself,” she said.
Hakyeon took a shaky breath and opened his eyes to her. “I am tired,” he said softly, as if admitting it broke him in two.
“I know,” she said gently and pulled him into her arms.
“I’m sorry.” His voice caught and he wept silently on her shoulder.
“It’s okay love,” she soothed.
He pulled away and looked at her with reddened eyes and damp cheeks. “I have pushed you away unknowingly. Forgive me?”
The queen carefully straightened Hakyeon’s hair and smiled softly. “Of course you are forgiven.”
“I have been lost of late without your counsel, yet too prideful to ask it. I will be better, I promise you,” he said tearfully.
“I am not angry with you. Do not be too hard on yourself. We will be better together all right?”
He nodded and she took his face in her hands and looked into his glassy eyes fervently. “You know I still love you. I always will,” she said and closed her eyes, pressing her lips to his tenderly.
Hakyeon returned her kiss sincerely. For the first time in a long while.
Once upon a time, I didn’t really care about Oh Sehun. He was just that random member of EXO I didn’t pay any attention to. But, in the last year or so, he has somehow sucked me in with his great hair and noodly looks. So, I don’t think I’ve ever written him before but lightsaber was just so cool and he looked so good, I wrote this thing. It’s vague because I don’t know if we are getting any more sequels to the video, as is rumored. But it just got my gears turning. I don’t know if this will lead anywhere...probably just to more drabbles.
Sehun parked his motorcycle, ruffled his silvery hair and headed into his favorite bar. Before he could get very far, he was stopped by a large man at the door, who simply pointed to a sign on the wall.
“Concealed Sabers Are Prohibited In This Facility,” it read.
With pursed lips, Sehun reluctantly handed over his saber and headed inside. Behind the bar, was a tall slender woman with her dark hair pulled back into a high pony, as usual. When Sehun spotted her, he nodded in greeting.
“Hey you,” Jiyeon said when he sat. “Don’t think I didn’t see you try to bring your saber in here.”
“I don’t like being without it,” Sehun said. “You gonna get metal detectors in here next?”
Jiyeon motioned to the large man at the door. “He’s my metal detector. Now, what can I get you? The usual?”
“Yeah. But make it a double.”
“Long night?” Jiyeon asked while she began to make his drink.
“Yeah,” Sehun said quietly, avoiding eye contact.
“Care to talk about it?”
Sehun glanced to his side suspiciously. “Not here.”
Jiyeon sighed and slid his drink over to him. “What have you gotten yourself into this time?”
“Nothing good,” Sehun said lowly and took a sip.
“Look, I get off in a few minutes. Maybe we could-”
Sehun suddenly lifted a finger to his lips to shush her. He became very still, trying to concentrate through the din of the bar.
“What is it?” Jiyeon whispered.
“Who’s at the door?” Sehun asked.
Jiyeon lifted her gaze to look behind Sehun. “A hooded man. I can’t see his face.”
“What is he doing?”
“Just chatting with my guard. Why? Who is he?”
Sehun put his hand down to his side, fingers twitching, ready to summon his saber if needed.
“Don’t call that thing over here,” Jiyeon said.
“It’s just a precaution. If anything happens, duck behind the bar.”
Jiyeon looked afraid now. “What? Sehun, I don’t want a fight in here.”
“What is he doing now?”
“He’s coming over here,” she said with fear in her eyes.
