Art by Ifer

Whether you want a goofy pic of your pooch as a pumpkin or some scary art of your cockatoo, or even a nice and normal portrait of your child or fursona or even yourself, I've got you covered.

DM me or email me at commissions at artbyifer dotcom.

Send me a photo of your pet in the pose you want them drawn, and optionally a word to inspire their "costume" if you want them all halloween-appropriate.

Note: these are direct from photos, to ensure a good likeness and that you are getting the desired expression and pose. No photo: +15%. No Refs at all: +25%

All of these examples have been the raw versions, not cleaned up in any way. I can also offer digital tweaking for a better result, or forgo the careful measuring stage to get it done faster & cheaper. The former can be requested after the traditional portion is complete.

Commissions at artbyifer dotcom, or DM me here or at ihasafandom.

Anything over $25 you'll get in-progress shots to confirm. Shipping the physical copy costs exactly as much as it costs me to do. Alternately, I can grant you a licence to get it printed yourself.

I will take up to 5 commissions at a time. Sale ends once Halloween does.

Minos

Was chatting with someone about why they like minotaurs, and was inspired. I like how the shading of the chest came out, I think that the colours work well together and the skin looks ... bouncy? I think I did a good job }:)

A Beignet Vignette

For @ambrosianLullaby  for the Homestuck Mini Bang 2025 (hsmb2025). Their fic that inspired it is Stir & Mix (Easy as Pie). Image ID:

Digital art of Dirk and Jane, as trolls, eating Beignets. Both are depicted in a xeno style and wearing aprons. Jane is a ceruleanblood with a symbol that looks like a trident with tines and an open mouth reminiscent of the blue monster of her usual symbol. Her horns are waterbuffalo-like, a shape similar to a moustache. She is leaning towards Dirk, posture wide and smug and indulgent, like the cat who got the cream. Her head is in her hand, propped up by the table, and she is gesturing with her beignet with her other.  Dirk is an orangeblood, apron printed in Alternian reading "Ki** the Cook". He has one hand covering his blushing face as he uses the other to eat his beignet, posture shy and timid. In the background a cholerbear with light blue details wherever a polarbear would be black, and wearing a fedora and tie, is having the time of his life. Crumbs fly everywhere as Cholerdad messily enjoys the beignet he swiped.

End ID. I had fun designing their horns and Jane's symbol. Jane's horns were obvious to me, and I love her expression, but Dirk's took a bit more tinkering and I couldn't decide between two of them so I just kept both. I didn't want just a simple horn-echoing of the sunglasses or his katana, I wanted something a bit more creative than that. The thick round ones are supposed to be like a mini version ankole-wutsi bull's and evoke the glasses without actually following the straight lines of them, since they instead have a tapering curve to an extreme point. And the ones jutting from his forehead are modelled on a Saiga antellope: parallel to eachotther at the base and sharply curved towards eachother at the tips, with a number of bumps that will grow as he ages (currently 2). This gives him both the brown-typical cattle and yellow-typical doubling, which I like for his bright orange. The challenge of how an apron would work on my trolls was something that I didn't quite anticipate, and by the time I was done I just straight up forgot the rest of their clothes. Oops! Haha. Accidentally more intimacy than intended. But eh, not like my trolls have anything to show anyway. I figured that the aprons needed to cover the torso and since Jane had extras for guests they needed to be re-sizeable. While Jane might have anticipated her friends coming over and thus have specific ones for them, it would be a smart choice for designers, once I had decided on a ribbon for the tie, to make the ribbons swappable for different colours (even if in this case the body text is coloured too). And I wanted to make the fastening such that pressure would be taken off the fleshy part of the neck. More fiddly to put on if you're expecting to need to use your gills, but I like that I'm coming up with clothing that is based less on what a human would need or wear and instead what a troll would. Also played with my idea that one physical indication of strong pale-pity a relaxation of the opercula/gillslits by having Dirk's be intentionally tightened in much the same way he is hiding his blush, while Jane's are painted with a thicker brush. Not relaxed enough to be open at all (they're not in a pile or anything) but I thought that was neat. Cholerpops was super fun, no notes. Okay, some notes. Used lots of reference. Hadn't realized that "choler" rhymed with "polar" before I had to think about how to draw one and realized the probable link.

its a me

So last Christmas I spent a few months with my computer broken, which some of you may or may not remember. Because of that, I spent a lot of time on mobile. Mobile systems do not have... quite the art abilities that I am accustomed to, and it took some time to find ones that I could jive with. Pixel art, luckily, is pretty low-intensity. And despite the fact that I have not flexed my skills much in that area in the last decade, I used to consider myself a pixel artist at least as much if not more so than other forms of digital art, and nearing traditional art as well. All of that is to say, here! It's me! Done in a Homestuck talksprite style! Gives me a chance to break out the trollsign I made myself, which is fun.  Maybe not quiiite faithful to the typical style, but I think it came out well regardless, though the shirt does look more than a little tight on retrospect. Does this count as a kidsona? Got the 4-letter-name down pat and all.

I like doing these quick drawings, just knocking them out in an hour or so on a quarter of a piece of cardstock.

Edward 2023

This is an attempt at a description of the kaiju "Edward", from the book "Kaiju Preservation Society". Edward is so named because of the courting between it and the already named "Bella". In the book, the main characters must use artificial pheromones to get the two to actually mate, as the species is endangered and IIRC Edward is too shy? It's been a couple of years since I read it and immediately drew this. There is little description of the kaiju given, but they are often described in comparison to terrain - skyscrapers or mountains that are host to ecosystems and must be traversed or manouvered around. As such, I have decided to depict him as largely amorphous; a mountain of tentacles and eyes. 

oxygen deprivation 2014

I drew this on a cottage trip, wow. A whole decade ago. I have not been back once since, since I had an intense allergen/athsma attack that lasted the entire long weekend. Just could not breathe at all. For days. I hadn't brought my puffer with me; it had been years since I had had any problems, so it was easy to forget. Was not a good experience; there's only so long you can ignore the fact that you are heaving for the tiniest sips of air. And unfortunately I couldn't just leave, since I cannot drive. Not that I woulda trusted myself to drive even if I could. Like I said, no concentration. Making this piece was definitely the longest I was able to pay attention to something at once. 0/10, would not recommend.
