Heya, I’m opening commissions (or more like expanding the previous ones), this time with creature commissions too! 

Previously done commissions can be found here, and my general art tag here.

The post is already pretty long thanks to all the pictures, so instead of rewriting the prices and mentioning everything here in the description, I made a separate doc with info HERE. 

There’s also Terms of Service, commissioning me means you agree to these terms, etc etc (I promise they’re not very long or scary).

You can always ask about different types of commissions (more rendered, less rendered, full illustrations, commercial projects etc), and I’ll let you know the price and time needed depending on the complexity and type of the commission.

If you don’t want to/can’t commission me, but want to help out, I have a patreon, inPRNT, and this neat little tip jar. 

As always signal boosting is very appreciated ❤

 This reference sheet includes 50+ body types for people who struggle in creating unique character bodies.  Also I did a mini-breast tutorial, because I didn’t add breasts to any of the body types since breasts are so customizable.

Edit: I added 4 more body types in this preview, since people really enjoyed this reference sheet. I also edited the description of male/female bodies for clearer understanding. Thank you for enjoying my reference sheet, I’m glad this was helpful to many people.

Support my Patreon, for the full reference sheet and future ones!

And that brings us back to the original point of all this, which is the idea that it’s your job, as a reader, to save comics from cancellation. That if you don’t buy a Previews catalog, research all of the comics coming out two months from now, and then tell your retailer you want to buy one so that your retailer can purchase an extra copy from Marvel that month and Marvel can brag about it in a press release, it’s your fault when the comic is canceled.

I propose a different hypothesis: it’s Marvel’s fucking fault when Marvel doesn’t sell enough comics. It’s Marvel’s fault they didn’t promote Nighthawk well enough to get retailers to buy enough copies of it. It’s Marvel’s fucking fault specialty shops are the only stores that buy Nighthawk comics in the first place. It’s Marvel’s fucking fault that instead of millions of people reading comics, there are less than 100,000. All of this is Marvel’s fault, not yours or mine, and the propensity of comic book creators to guilt trip fans about preordering has to be classified as some kind of weird version of Stockholm syndrome.

The same thing applies sometimes to fans, who are constantly pressured by the industry to feel responsible for sales numbers and pass along that attitude to their peers. Don’t want to see your favorite character’s book canceled? Well, you better preorder and tell all your friends to preorder too. Want to see more diversity in comics? You’d better buy whatever half-hearted attempt at cashing in on diversity Marvel is promoting this month whether you enjoy reading it or not, or else they might get the idea that comic book readers don’t like diversity, and that would be your fault, you see. Don’t want to see your favorite artist die alone in poverty after creating some of the most successful intellectual properties in the history of American pop culture? Well, you’d better keep shelling out $4.99 for those comics Marvel is giving them a 1% cut of, or that’s your fault too.

Die, Industry, Die! (Or Why Letting Comics Fail is the “Real” Only Way to Save the Industry)

Concept: an immortal who doesn’t shy away from photos or paintings. Draws self portraits on cave walls. Photobombs everything with a pout and a suave pose. Commissions numerous portraits of themself as a literary Romantic before faking their death. Tries to be at least slightly famous every time they have a new identity. Creates a conspiracy blog linking all their past photos together before mysteriously disappearing in mysterious circumstances. Mysteriously. Usually only disappears for 10 to 20 years after “"dying”“ before making another appearance. Everyone else in the immortal community lowkey hates them. “Ah, fuck. You’ll never guess who’s resurfaced again.” “Fucking… Dave?” “Fucking Dave.”
