ART

Character Artist/Sorta Animator
I'm a self-taught/YouTube-teught artist. I think I've been drawing and making art literally since birth. My parents, when I was a wee lad, were into painting and playing guitar, so they've cursed me with a love for the arts. I've also dabbled in music (both instruments and choir) in school, but I never really followed through with anything. I think technically I've been on and off animating since I was 10 or 11 (around 2014 or 2015, I think). I used to make stickman fighting animations with Stick Nodes on my iPad Mini. That iPad Mini also served as my first art tablet, cheap rubber stylus, and all. 90% of the time, my art is focused on my own characters. I occasionally make fan art, but typically my focus is on my OCs. I don't have an official comic or series for any of my characters yet, but I'm hoping to one day actually make a comic for them. If you want information about any of my characters, I highly suggest you check out my character hub. Instagram is my main social media I use (unfortunately), so if you're interested in my art, most of it can be found there. Animation-wise, a lot of it goes on TikTok, but my more "produced" animations are also usually on YouTube.

videos/streams

Variety/Minecraft/Occasional Art
I unfortunately have fallen out of the habit of streaming and making videos, but I'm slowly trying to get back in the swing of it. Content-wise, most of the stuff you can find on my YouTube and Twitch is video game-focused, with the occasional art-related video. For my short animations/animatics, you can typically find them on my TikTok. My more animated/finished works can be found on my YouTube channel, though.

Characters/Stories

Currently, I have no official way to read/watch any of my story-related stuff. If you want to read about my characters, I highly recommend you check out my Character Hub page. That should have almost every character I've made, either from my own stories/worlds, DnD, or other projects I've been invited to. I also yap on Instagram about my characters from time to time.

Programs/hardware

I've used a fair share of programs over the years, but I'll only list the ones I somewhat frequently use

Software

  • Fire Alpaca [Free]

I've been using FireAlpaca since 2016. I have tried other programs, and I keep coming back to FireAlpaca. I think I'm just tied to the program and I'll never escape. It has a lot of good features, but not enough to be overwhelming. It's also free, unless you really wanna buy the version off of Steam. It gets updated frequently, and usually it's easy to find an answer if I have a question or hiccup with the program. The only gripes I really have are that you have to pay if you want dark mode, and also, the animation mode isn't timeline-based, but instead folder-based.

  • DaVinci Resolve [Free]

I've been using DaVinci since 2021. I've used Premiere Pro for school, and to me, DaVinci Resolve is a good free replacement for it. There's a lot you can do with it. I typically just use it as a basic editor, but there's a lot of fancy post-production/processing you can do. Also, it's usually really easy to find an answer to any questions I end up having. There are quite a few times it will just stop letting me do something I've been able to do in the past, but usually restarting the program or restarting my computer fixes that issue. Overall, the program can be a bit funky or temperamental, but seeing as it's free and serves me well, I can look past the occasional glitch or hiccup.

  • OBS [Free]

I used to use Streamlabs OBS when I started streaming, but I flipped to OBS because it looked cooler. I think both work basically the same, but OBS allows for more customization and external addons. I've been using OBS since 2018, I think, and it has served me well. Any issues I've had with it were my fault or due to not understanding something.

  • Blender [Free]

I don't 3D model a whole ton, but anytime I have, it's been with Blender. I know you can do a lot of cool things in Blender, but I just don't have the patience to sit down and learn about all those cool features. The nice thing about Blender is that if you have a question, you can almost always find an answer to it online.

Hardware

  • Huion Kamvas Pro 13

This is my second art tablet, but my first screen art tablet. Also, my first big-time purchase, seeing as the tablet was like $400 when I got it in 2016, so I was maybe 12 or somewhere around there. I've been using it almost daily, both as an art tablet and as my second monitor since I got it, and I've had basically zero issues with it. The pen stopped working once, and it was only like $20 or $30 to replace it. The screen on mine is also slightly coming out of the casing on the right-hand side. Besides that, this tablet is awesome and is my best friend.

  • My Computer

My computer is a prebuilt since it's my first PC, and I was scared to build my own. I think it's an HP OMEN. Overall, it has served me well over the years. It occasionally gets angry and doesn't like to work, but overall, it's been fine. The only big issue I've had is that in the first week of owning it, it deleted literally everything, and my dad had to come to the rescue to reinstall Windows. I thought I had all my art, but OneDrive thankfully saved the day. Keep an external hard drive for your art, or at least put your art on one every so often, folks

If you for some reason read this all, thank you. You now have random info about me. Do with this how you will

commissions

COMMISSIONS ARE CURRENTLY:
OPEN!

My commissions are typically open.
If you have any questions or want something that isn't listed, feel free to reach out and ask about it.
If you want a commission, shoot me a dm on any site you can find me on
Instagram is my main site, so I'll most likely see it quicker if you send it there, but feel free to dm me wherever

The actual art/sheet is a little dated, but the pricing still stands. Since the art is old on the sheet, I recommend looking at my more recent art for a better idea of what you'd be getting.
I'll try to make a new sheet sometime soon. Maybe. Hopefully

Here's a loose idea of the whole process:

  1. You reach out, and we discuss what you want made

  2. You send over the payment, either half or the full price

  3. I get to work on the sketch

  4. I send over the sketch to see if there are any changes you want made. This repeats until you're happy with the sketch. During this part, I'll be happy to change any part of the drawing. Pose, outfit, etc.

  5. Once you're happy with the sketch, I get to work on finishing up the drawing.

  6. I send over the product (watermarked if you paid half up front). If there are any changes you want, I will make those changes until you're happy. I will not make major pose or outfit changes during this phase.

  7. Once you're happy with the drawing, I'll send it your way. You can use it for basically anything, I just ask you not to use it for merchandise unless we discussed it beforehand

Will DoWon't Do
Light gore (smaller amounts of blood, light cuts, bruises. etc)Intense gore
FanartNSFW/Rule 34
OCs 
Actual people 
Animals/Furries 

I don't have the most experience drawing animals, and less experience drawing mecha/machinery. I will still happily attempt it if you want something of that sort in/as part of your commission

Payment is done using either PayPal or Venmo; either works for me. I'll either take the full payment up front, or if you want, I'll also take half up front, then the other half when you're commission is finished.
If you're a friend getting a commission, you can pay me at any point in the process.

Extra Notes/FAQ:

References:
I prefer if you have a reference for your character, but if you have a collage or detailed description of your character, that also works well for me. I just ask you to come to the table with a clear idea of what you want drawn. Also, if you have any references for poses, or like shading/lighting colors, or something in that realm that you want, I'll also happily take those.
Character Designing:
This is weird to word, so hopefully this makes sense.
If you have a loose idea for a character and want me to put something together for you, I will slightly increase the price (probably like $5 to $10. Nothing too much.) An example of this is if you come to the table with something like "Can you design me a blonde punk rock character with cowboy boots?" instead of a full description like "They have bright red, fluffy, somewhat short hair. They have bright orange eyes and always have a smile on their face. Dark and short horns, etc., etc." Hopefully that makes sense.
Refunds:
No, I will not refund you're commission. I think the only time I will refund you is if you pay me and before I can get you the sketch you ask for your money back.

Merch:
When it comes to using my art for merchandise, if you're making something for yourself or for your friends, that's perfectly fine with me, and you should show me what you make because that sounds awesome. If you plan on using my art for actual merchandise that you plan on openly selling, then please discuss this with me at some point. Prices will vary, or I will ask for some sort of commission in return.
How long will it take?
I don't want to give a set, "Yeah, it'll take me exactly 3 days to finish your commission." I rarely have a long commission queue, so you shouldn't have to wait in line for that long. When I get a commission, it becomes a top priority art-wise, so if I have the time to draw, then I will be working on your commission. In the past, I've been able to get commissions done in around 2 or 3 days, but I also work, so I cannot guarantee I'll have unlimited time to work on your commission. Long story short, I will do what I can to make sure your commission gets done as soon as I can.
Ghosting/No Reply:
Overall, on my end, I will try to respond as soon as possible. I do not expect you to reply the very instant I message you. No rush, but if you don't answer me within 30 days, I will just stop working on the commission.

Overall, if you have any questions when it comes to my commissions, please feel free to shoot me a message. I'd be happy to answer/discuss your idea. I'm happy to try basically whatever
