Slots have been chosen Posted 2 years ago
There were a lot of good submissions so it was difficult to whittle it all down. Like I said in the announcement post, don't worry if you didn't get a slot, there will be more opportunities in the near future. The current plan with these comms is to balance them alongside my monthly patreon art schedule. This is also why the slots were so limited. I don't want to burn out just as I open comms. That being said, I will contact you directly if you got a slot and we will go from there.
Commissions reopening tomorrow! Posted 2 years ago
Alright so it's been long enough, I will be reopening commissions tomorrow. Just so you're all aware some of the pricing has changed from what it was the last time I had comms open. When I upload the sheet, you'll be able to see them in detail but while it's not too much more, it's something I wanted to let you all know. Also for this first batch, I will only have 3 slots for this first batch as I'm going to have to balance them with patreon art. After the slots are taken, they will be closed again until they're all completed. Don't worry if you don't get a slot, there will be plenty of chances as I'm going to try to get them done in a timely manner. With this first batch however I'm going to be a bit more picky than the usual first come first served method I normally go with. so if you...

Bit of an Update Posted 2 years ago
So a few things I wanted to update everyone on as I've gotten some questions and messages regarding these topics on my various galleries.

1. Do I do requests of any kind?

The answer is no, I do not do requests. This has always been the case.

2. Do I have a discord server?

Also no, that's just too much of a hassle for me to manage. I'm not interested in running one either.

3. Are commissions opening soon?

I'm planning on getting back into them this month though there's no set date for that. I'll let everyone know when I'm ready to do them again. I didn't think I'd go this long without reopening but time slipped away from me and I've been so focused on patreon along with some other projects that I haven't had the...

Questions regarding commissions and other comics Posted 3 years ago
I've gotten quite a few messages on several sites about commissions. So I'm just gonna do a Q/A thing here to answer the main ones I've seen in the different messages so I don't have to repeat myself

1. When are commissions opening?
Right now, regular commissions are still closed and will most likely remain closed for the year. I'm currently busy with other projects that commissions would just eat all my time up from doing those. I don't know when I will reopen them but I will inform everyone on all my galleries when that time comes.

2. Have your commission prices changed?
They have not changed and are the same as before

3. Can I pay in installments?
I would prefer everything upfront, that makes things easier for all parties...

changes being made to patreon for May Posted 3 years ago
I've decided to change some things up with the tiers in my patreon, I have removed the $10 tier and the $5 tier now has the rewards the $10 tier had. So if you become part of that tier, you can vote on characters for the month as well as the theme. Starting in May, I'll be offering sketch rewards for the $15 tier, now there are some rules for this. Obviously the rules I use for commissions still apply, if I'm not ok with the content I'm not going to draw it. It's limited in availability for right now as I'm trying to see how much I can handle. Also unlike before when I had offered this kind of reward, there will not be any kind of upgrade system in place. If you want a sketch reward colored, you will have to wait for my commissions to reopen. As an extra incentive for this patreon tier,...

reminder about patreon Posted 4 years ago
Times are tough for everyone right now, I know. This is just to let everyone know that this month's polls are up so if you want to influence what I draw this month or support me there, I would greatly appreciate it.

Going to try promoting it some more as well since I don't know how long things are going to be this way.
Spark Multiverse, changing of art style Posted 4 years ago
if you've been looking through my gallery lately, I've made a new folder which is where Nova related content will be posted. I'm still organizing things but if you just want to see stuff with Nova in it, that'll be the place to look. As for why the main timeline folder is empty, that's because it's where a comic series for Nova would go. It just hasn't been made yet.

On another note, I am trying to improve my own artstyle. You can see this in my more recent pics which have a new way of shading for me. I'm still looking into what feels the most comfortable for me while looking good too so some pics may vary wildly shading wise.
Patreon Monthly Poll Reminder Posted 4 years ago
This is just a reminder that I've still got patreon going, just letting you all know that I do put polls up at the start of every month so if you become part of a voting tier, you can choose what I get to draw for the month. Links can be found on any pics that were patreon related if you're interested in supporting me there! This month's polls are already up but they will close in a few days so make sure to get into the right tiers if you want to vote.
What happens now Posted 4 years ago
So good news, all commissions from the last batch and previous batches are completed. I'm going to answer a few questions I've gotten as well as give you all an idea of what's to come.

1. "Are commissions open now? Or are they opening soon?" No, they are not open. I had completely forgotten to change the info on my profile to reflect the change and I'm sorry about that. Commissions will remain closed for a while. I do not know when I will reopen them.

2. So now that standard commissions are done with, I will be getting back to work on series like "working for a mad mare" as well as the "royal lesson" series. Along with a not yet published mini series. I am also working on a big project but you guys won't be seeing it for a while. ...

Regarding 2020 and beyond Posted 4 years ago
So the new year is coming up and I wanted to address some questions and things for the future.

First and foremost, 'when are regular commissions reopening?' The short answer is, I don't know for sure.
The long answer, I may open them sporadically, or I might not, but comic commissions may be gone for a while. The thing is while I am so glad that people want to commission me, my own content has been on the back burner and I want to do some of my own projects without the stress.

For what should be coming in the next few weeks and months, the last batch of commissions that I'm still working on, this is the main priority. Following that is the return of the long running series like 'Working for a Mad Mare' and 'Royal Lesson' along with a slight mini series. As...
