Hello everyone, I apologize for my long absence. I don't have any new designs in the works and my sketch commissions are still on hold at the moment. However I do have my design redraws and custom character design commissions open. Please check them out if you're interested! I am going to see if I can work on new bust adoptable designs in the meantime. Thanks for sticking around :)

Custom character design: https://www.deviantart.com/colorfuel/journal/Custom-Character-Design-Commission-1-Slot-917610803

edit: After some thought, I will be contacting those on my sketch commission waiting list. However I will also be raising the price and give them time to consider if they still want a commission. Those on the list will be prioritized.

This is a one open slot for a custom character design commission. The recipient may request one of these two options: A completely new character and design OR a design for a character you already own.

If you are interested, reply to the post with which tier you'd like to purchase:

Tier 1: $200 - Full body pose

Tier 2: $255 - Full body pose, reference sheet

Tier 3: $305 - Full body pose, reference sheet, bust-up illustration (no background)

Any overly detailed requests may come with an extra fee.

WHAT I WILL DRAW

BASIC GUIDELINES

▬ Stripe (no account needed) or Venmo (account needed) only. Payment plans can be discussed.

▬ No reselling.

▬ Personal and commercial use allowed.

▬ Trade/gift allowed after you contact me about the change in the ownership.

EXTENDED GUIDELINES

▬ The character will belong to you. You are free to alter it to your liking and use it for personal purposes. For commercial intentions, contact me first.

▬ You are not allowed to call yourself the original creator of the character/design, or claim any of the artwork as your own.

▬ If I'm designing for a character you already own, the character remains yours but other than that, the above rules still apply.

▬ Be prepared to offer all of the following information:

• Gender: Appearance of the character: male, female, androgynous, or something else.

• Design: Clothing style. You can be specific, like "this kind of shirt, these kinds of shoes, this kind of dress", or general like "fantasy style" or "modern style." You can be as descriptive as you want, and visual references are encouraged. I'll let you know if anything is beyond my limits.

• Colors: Color scheme for the design. You can link palettes or give specific colors for things, whatever you want. Colors for skin, hair, and eyes are mandatory!

• Expression(s): For the full body pose (Tier 1-3) and the bust-up illustration (Tier 3).

• Miscellaneous: Any final requests you may have.

▬ You will receive:

• A sketch of the design with flat colors. You can request changes if need be, and then approve the design.

• PSD of the design.

Lastly, be aware that this commission will take me a long time to complete, anywhere between a few weeks to several months. Please do not request this commission if you're in a hurry or want frequent updates.

First come first serve. I'll answer any questions you may have. Thank you!

Update 2, 5/25/2022: I've had success with Stripe, so I will most likely use that moving forward. You don't need to have a Stripe account to pay me. I will keep Paypal as a backup.

Update 5/25/2022: Hello friends, some updates. I can't seem to add my card details to Boosty because of an issue on my bank's side, so that option is out. I also ran into an issue with Venmo and sent a support ticket yesterday, so I'm waiting on a reply to that. Right now my options are Stripe and Payoneer. Stripe invoices can be paid without a customer having to make an account, you only need a credit or debit card. Payoneer should be the same, and in some instances there are no fees. I appreciate your patience while I figure things out. Stripe is most likely my best option unless I can figure Venmo out, so I'll use that method from here on. I'll edit my guidelines regarding payment options soon.

Hi everyone. Since Paypal's fees have increased significantly in the two years I've been absent, I've started looking into new ways to receive payment. Venmo and Payoneer have been recommended to me, and I'm looking into Google Pay as well. At the moment, Venmo seems to be my best option. If anyone has any suggestions, recommendations, or tips they can offer, please do! I want something with the least fees for everyone involved, as well as something that isn't difficult to sign up for (for the one who pays).

I haven't been back on dA for several months due to lack of time and motivation. Within hours of posting the new YCH auction, I ran into what I thought was a minor issue with a user who ultimately left me offensive comments and a block before I could say anything in return. After browsing their journals (I logged out), I quickly learned I dodged a massive bullet anyway, so this isn't about them.

Don't be a jerk. You have no idea what people are going through. Something you say could be the last straw for someone. I'm tired of this. It's easy to run away from accountability on the internet. Trust me; I've been the jerk before. Don't do it. Have a nice day.

hey guys, this is my i'm not dead in a ditch post. sorry for lack of new art. i haven't forgotten my commissions and i do have a wip adopt in the works, i've just been busy and tired and did i mention tired. i ask for your continued patience. thanks for putting up with me. hope summer's treating everyone well in the meantime (:
