Hi if anyone wants to commission me I’m open again because I’m broke

The links below the samples include more samples, information, a price calculator, and my commission form. Please feel free to take a look!!!

TOS | Illustrations | Live2D | VGen | Artistree (just an alternative site, not necessary to look at, but it doesn’t have any weird fees on my end wink wink)

Oh yeah, I did a new cover of JITTERBUG with VY1v4 and Luka V4X

Here's the art too:

So as much as I hate airing out money problems like this (not really an emergency, but still a bit of an issue):

Recently I’ve been looking into upgrading my laptop to something better. I considered just changing the parts that it has, but it turns out the most important bits are soldered (fucking Lenovo :/).

This, of course, lead to me looking into getting a new laptop, and then eventually into getting a desktop! Unfortunately, being a 3D modeler/animator trying to get into the industry and about to go to a school that most likely requires more up-to-date equipment (even if I don’t post that stuff much on here) I require Expensive Shit. So here are my options so far:

$2800 prebuilt from Lenovo that I won’t be able to reliably upgrade and can only pay for by either spending most of my savings in one shot or signing up for some weird credit card (do not want to do)

$3500 custom build from a different brand (that I will not name because people get mean about these things) that I can easily upgrade later down the line and also happens to have easier financing

I don’t know which one I’ll go with, but I do know that I’ll probably need people to commission me to raise money. So. Here’s my info:

TOS | Illustrations | Live2D | Artistree (just an alternative site, not necessary to look at, but it doesn’t have any weird fees on my end wink wink)

Alternatively you can just donate, or even reblog this post to get it to more eyes. Idk I’m not picky, anything helps.

Bust/icon commission for Keerumi on Twitter

I wasn’t originally intending on going for this vibe, but it somehow ended up happening and I like how it turned out!

2020-2021 Art Backlog

Wahoo more old art!

Same situation as last time, meaning some quality may be lost due to not being able to find the original files. No pieces were omitted this time.

[zestea-z]

2018-2019 Art Backlog

Some of this is lower quality than it should be due to losing the original files, but I tried lol

Unfortunately, I also had to omit a few pieces for reasons that I won’t get into.

[zestea-z]

Updated my theme, added commission info and TOS, and also added a bunch of non-Twitter-related links! I haven’t done the same for my personal blog but I’ll get around to it eventually. For now, expect an incoming wave of art that I posted over the years (at least, once I get my Twitter archive).

[zestea-zest]

Feels weird logging in for more than .2 seconds after all these years lol

I cleared out all the dead accounts I was following, but when I get home I’ll work on other stuff, like updating my themes, posting a backlog of art on my art account, etc.

But yes!! I think I’ll try my hand at posting both on here and on Twitter again. If I fail, my main Twitter is zestea_zest and my art Twitter is zestea_z

[zestea-zest]

Since basically everyone’s leaving, there’s not much of a point in sticking around lol Follow my Twitter instead (@ zestea_zest) I may or may not be deactivating this account in the near future ✌️
