I have not had the best of starts for 2024, with issues regarding to payments I've had to help my mom with. To help her with them, I took a loan during January which allowed us to afford what we needed, with myself banking on my Redbubble account to generate enough during the month to pay it off this month.

Unfortunately, and unprecedentedly, my Redbubble account got nuked without prior warning, and when I tried to reach out to them I was only received by radio silence, as well as not getting any of my money.

Now, I did manage to pay off a part of what I owed, however, with March coming next week the deadline will be coming back soon again. To add on top of that there are some bills that we haven't been able to afford for in total, trying to make ends meet has been significantly taxing emotionally for a good while now.

As a side note, but still related financially, I should be signing up for my next semester of Japanese at the start of March, but due to Argentina's current economic situation and inflation rate the price of my classes have gone about double of what I originally paid last year. For long time I've struggled finding anything relatively fulfilling in my life, higher education wise, this is something that I don't want to stop doing, I finally have an end goal I wish to accomplish.

I cannot offer much in return for donations, other than offering myself for drawing commissions, or simple requests, or anything. But, I need to be honest and transparent both with myself and you all as well, I cannot promise a certain deadline to which I'd be able to deliver anything I'd draw.

I have been struggling since last year with this, over the same thing of getting small requests or commissioned to draw something, things that should have probably taken me a couple of days, maybe weeks at most has taken me months to complete. My personal life has completely demoralized me from having a set mentality for my art and in turn I've gone down a spiral of inactivity, even when I'm fully aware of the problem.

If, and only if, you're comfortable with this fact, and are willing to wait long enough for me to deliver then please, request something from me. I'll be just as grateful for donations as well, and even if you can't help me financially, I appreciate that you have taken your time to read through all of this, you could still help me out by sharing this post around.

Overall, thank you all in advance.

Teepublic's been a fluke this past June and there's bills and debt coming the following weeks, so I'll cut to the chase: send any amount of 💵 on ko-fi + any pokemon you'd like, and I'll draw them for you

Thought it’d be a good opportunity to give a refresher and update to my commission page, which are open and I’m curretly taking them

Alright, first of all, rules

• Contact has to be done via either my Twitter, Tumblr or FurAffinity accounts, you'll have better chances for me to answer quickly through those sites compared to others I'm in

• Anything pretty much goes, with the exception for NSFW, it’s already an oversaturated market that one, suggestive is as far as I’ll go

• I have the right to refuse to accept working on a commission whether if I feel like it’s out of my comfort zone or if I don’t feel like I’d beable to deliver a satisfactory outcome

• Any commission that I draw will be first and foremost for personal and private use. Commercial use of anything drawn by me will have to be consulted with me first, and I have the right to refuse and prohibit permission for commercial use in any way, shape or form depending on how it will be planned to be used. NFTs, cryptocurrency and similiar will be an automatic refusal and block no matter what.

• Should the client decide to change or adjust the commissioned works through the use of machine learning or derived technologies, existing, or to be created in the future, in any media or form, I will consider this an automatic purchase of exclusive rights and charge the standard fee per artwork. Please, inquire about the exact fee for your commission in advance.

• In the event the client decides to change or adjust the commissioned works through the use of machine learning or derived technologies, existing, or to be created in the future, in any media or form, without the explicit consent of the artist, the client will be immediately added to a block list and no longer be entitled to any further work by the artist. Furthermore, any funds sent to the artist, corresponding to works not yet delivered at the time of the infraction, will be considered as indemnization to the artist for usage rights. In case of no remaining funds to be seized, legal penalties might be applied.

• I will need visual references for any character I’m asked to draw, anything would help but the more detailed the better

• As soon as the initial sketch is approved there will be no refunds (request for changes may depend on how big or small they may be)

• Payments will be done through my Ko-fi commissions page, it’s an easier way to keep track of commissions

With that outta the way, let’s move onto the prices

Lineart / Monochrome: USD 20.00

​

Flat Colours / Lineless: USD 30.00

Full shaded: USD 40.00

Full shaded + Background: USD 60.00

All prices are the base for a single character, adding extra characters will cost USD 5.00 each

I have to apologize for the lack of any uploads whatsoever around any of the sites I usually lurk around, but I've felt completely unwilling to sit down and draw anything for more than just a few minutes a day, I partially blame the current situation I'm living in real life, would prefer to not go into detail about it, but it's been stressing me out to no end. It's overdue but I'm releasing the two things I uploaded on patreon so far, which I really haven't done so earlier in the hopes I ended up drawing more to justify having stuff that would encourage people to support me there, keeping it hostage any longer is fruitless at this point
In any case, I will try to get back on schedule to draw regularly again, apologies again for the lack of any updates and keeping my stuff hostage for so long

I feel like it was bound to happen eventually, but I'm just gonna cut the crap entirely and go straight to the point which is that it's been getting harder and harder to make ends meet so I've made the decision of finally creating a patreon to try and find some support in any capacity

I don't really want to pressure anyone into giving me money, everything uploaded there will be available for viewing on here and any other sites I frequent later, early access basically, so if you can't support me financially I beg you have a little patience to see my new stuff. I'll appreciate any kind of support received in any way regardless.

But who knows, besides the only tier right now depending on the success of it I might cook up new tiers with rewards later way down the line, stuff like raffles and whatever else, but I'm getting ahead of myself with that, I'll leave the link below if anyone is interested in checking the page itself out

P.S.: commissions are still and will always be a go if there's any interest in that

So maybe I should be posting that I am taking commissions currently in all fronts, but just for the sake of brevity I'm gonna copy and paste the rules for it from my FA page while at the same time linking the prices from there, that not illegal is it?

Ok so for starters here are the prices for the different kinds of drawings I'd make

As for the rules, they're as follows:

•Anything pretty much goes, with the exception for NSFW

•I have the right to refuse to accept working on a commission whether if I feel like it’s out of my comfort zone or any other reason

•I will need visual references for any character I’m asked to draw, anything would help but the more detailed the better

•Payment first, and as soon as the initial sketch is approved

there will be no refunds

(changes may depend on how big or small they may be)

•Paypal address will be given only after being contacted and an arrangement has been made, I will give out other contact means if asked if you’d prefer to keep contact through them

If there ain't any problem with either of them, feel free to hit me up with a DM so we could make an arrangement if you're interested

but I got nothing to say so have this instead
