ToS, Payment Plan Details, & Additional Information
Inquiries accepted across all Private/Direct/Message-able platforms and via eMail.
PayPal Preferred but I will also accept Venmo in a pinch. Occasionally I take Amazon Wishlist Purchases or Partial Adoptable Trades. I am open to alternatives/suggestions (Discord Nitro, Digital Game purchases/Tumblr Badges [I really want the Comms Open one right now,] or gift-cards) however these are typically a last resort and may require a documented history/reference/referral of prior successful commissions from other artists as well as extra time to join new platforms as needed.
A non-refundable deposit for a base layout/sketches/chibis/pixel art for new/infrequent clients is required. Work will not begin until payments are confirmed, progress updates will be WIP/Watermarked and final image files Will Not be sent until confirmation of final invoice payment has been cleared.
As stated I will work within any budget and take payment-plans, for works that do not have a hard deadline, for sketches, chibis, and pixel art! My rates are in USD, however I will make an attempt to convert to local-currencies whenever possible (assuming this isn’t automatic via PayPal.) For anything more than base-work I will work with my clients to determine a fair price. Typically I try to estimate the scope of the project and apply base minimum wage plus expenses [medium, experience, time, et cetera.]
My past rates for a full color illustration with multiple characters or character sheets with a ton of expressions/items have gone as high as $350 currently. I can provide prior client examples and/or reviews/references upon request.
A minimum price of $100 is requested for full-color digitally illustrated animated gifs. Full price depends on the complexity of the character and number of unique/key frames. (For a cheaper alternative consider animated pixel art, a two frame character bounce is free on request, but more frames are subject to a negotiable fee depending on character/scene.)
Changes/progress updates can be requested for each stage of a piece however I do tend to work in sections— once coloring starts it tends to go alongside shading so typically once I have a pallet/general direction from a client we tend to be fairly locked-in after a layout sketch/rough lineart stage.
I do not require character references/sheets to work off however I do highly encourage even a simple sketch, similar works/character vibes/face-claims, color palettes, and especially for specific clothing articles/hair styles! Please DO NOT use A.I. for your references to me. I do not condone its usage and doing so may result in a denial of accepting your commission. On that note…
You may NOT use my artwork or anything I make, regardless of if I made it for you with or without a commercial agreement, in/with Gen A.I. Period.
If you have any comments, questions, or concerns don’t hesitate to reach out! Thank you again for the support!

The longer you look at it the more obvious it is that basically all the problems of the world have solutions, that somebody is EVENTUALLY going to implement them (maybe not now, maybe not today, but eventually).
When this happens, it becomes increasingly clear that the only real purpose of Doomerism is to allow the person espousing it to let themselves off the hook for doing anything to help improve the world around them.
It's just laziness masquerading as enlightenment. If there's no hope, then you can feel morally validated and justified in fucking off and not doing anything.
I've got no patience for it anymore. I'm not going to argue with people who do it, but I am going to ignore them.

I would say not laziness, but depression and despair.
The vast majority of what we attribute to "laziness" is actually a mental health problem going unaddressed.
To me, Doomerism is a flag that someone needs better mental health care, not that they need better ethics. They won't GET better ethics until they get better neurotransmitters.
That is, unless the Doomerism is actually a smokescreen argument to make other people depressed into inaction so they can do something else entirely they want to do instead. In which case there's still possibly a mental health issue there, but a different kind entirely.
The point remains, arguing with them is a waste of time. If you have a personal relationship with them, maybe guide them towards help. Otherwise, let it be. You can't debate people out of depression.
One of the classes in my upcoming OSR game A Most Bloody Devotion. She's a literal corpse. Not undead. Just an actual dead body that people get obsessed with when they touch it.
“my father is a boy and my mother is a girl so i’m mixed” is the funniest possible response to someone asking your gender and it came from 6’5 Viking footballer and notable weird little guy Erling Haaland on a Snapchat
Getting dumped really puts children's cartoon villains into perspective. Like dude you're SO right, love and caring ARE disgusting and we SHOULD cast a spell to drain all human emotion into your amulet.
It's my cat's birthday (anniversary of me getting him) so I told him the story of his life while petting him real good
Highlights include:
For your first two years (when you were small) you lived in a foster home with people who raised you into a very polite young man. Two is like you plus me, that's what two is.
Some people adopted you before me and they called you Timmy (which is a stupid name) and they returned your ass almost immediately because you were so annoying at that age.
Like think about how annoying you are right now at seven years old, but way worse.
I'm better than them though, I don't call you Timmy and I wore earplugs to bed for three years because you love to scream at bedtime. Earplugs are like when I roll over and go back to sleep even when you are yelling so so so loud.
I got you at a time in my life when I was really sick (being sick is like when I'm up late because I'm throwing up and you are a very handsome good boy who sits with me) and they had to put me asleep for a procedure. A procedure is like what happened to you when they put you asleep and took your balls away.
Now you've lived with me for five years. Five is like the number of toe beans on one of your feet. When I clip your nails five is when we're halfway done. But we're hopefully not even halfway done with how long we get to be together. I'm gonna have to figure out new ways to help you count.
this is a painting that i started probably three years ago, and finally decided to come back to and finish! i don't think you need to finish everything you start, but it's rarely too late to return to things if you want t!

What helped me write trauma better is remembering that the nervous system learns predictions. If danger used to come after quiet, calm can feel threatening. If kindness used to come with a price, kindness can feel suspicious. So healing is not just “they know they’re safe now.” Healing is the slow, annoying, deeply unfair process of teaching the body that the old prediction is not always the present truth.
I'm sorry to let you know that 100,000,001 (one hundred million and one) is divisible by 17 and because of that, so is every 16-digit number that is four digits repeated four times e.g. 1234123412341234
Dividing by 17 in-general is insane behavior. This is eldritch math, so of course it’s gunna have wild outcomes. This is truly an info-hazard. I’m gunna see a number in the wild, wonder if 17 is lurking in there, and if I whip out my phone calculator and it’s true I’m going to LOSE IT.
