Pricing scheme, in USD:

Headshot: $18 (+5 for colors/basic shading, +10 for specific environmental lighting conditions)

Halfbody/everything above the knees: $30-45

Fullbody: $50-75

Environment/scene/cinematic shot: $55-95

Multi-figure interactions, sketch sheet, etc.: $45-95

pricing for halfbodies, fullbodies, environments, and multiple figures depends on complexities of posing, designs, elements in the shot that you desire, etc.

If you are unsure about affording what you imagine, PLEASE feel free to reach out!! I am really willing to work with your budget and making the piece you want!

Additional cost for coloring in halfbodies, fullbodies, environments, and multi-figures is really subject to change depending on the aforementioned factors. Again, I encourage you to reach out and consult me if you have concerns/are interested in that service. Just know it can be quite expensive, since at that point it would approach a FULLY FINISHED piece...

TOS below the cut

I'm back from beyond the veil for another sasosaku AU. prepare for my imminent disappearance.

Sakura is a prodigy forensic pathology resident-- probably finished undergrad in 2 or 3 years. Sasori is an unhinged artist who's medium of choice is cadavers (a very damien hirst-esque choice!)

His fascination lies within having the person's last moments last forever... here comes sakura! and he tries to get her to procure him dead bodies, basically. then they bone (sakura's med school induced dry spell is ended, but at what cost...)

deidara is sasori's roommate. He works as a construction worker during the day, artist/arsonist (artsonist??) by night. He's all punk, sasori is emo. They met in undergrad, then deidara was expelled. Sasori has a masters in fine art, that he uses for nefarious purposes.

comedy of errors and the inherent terror of being in your late twenties, still paying off your car, and not owning a home.

Her bedroom has anhrefn and bobby sands posters. A detail shot of the linework.

I have some more art but lowk lazy to get it.

This was what I cooked for my family on Wednesday night. Best served hot with couscous, this can most aptly be described as “what if an english garden had a child with tagine?”

Ingredients—

Olive oil

1 can garbanzo beans

1.5tbsp tomato paste

1 large carrot, diced

1 bulb fennel, diced

7 mangled scallions, chopped finely

6 cloves garlic

Salt

Mushrooms (as many as you want!)

Tomatoes

2 beets, boiled and skinned, large dice

~1 cup Red wine

~1.75 cup Veg broth…????

Spices— cumin, corriander seeds, fennel seeds, a bit of paprika, SALT…, oregano. Lemon and orange zest.

Addt.

Can add mushroom seasoning, msg, vegetable buillon cube, or ~1.5tbsp miso paste, if you desire a more umami taste.

1. healthy glug of olive oil. With heat on medium, caramelize your carrot/fennel/scalions. Add a little bit of salt to sweat it out.

2. Add tomato paste (and optional miso paste). IMPORTANT!!! You MUST allow the sugars in miso/tomato paste to burn off and caramelize, or else it will not be nearly savory enough. Add spices. Allow to form a bit of crust on the bottom.

3. Deglaze with your veg broth and red wine.

4. Add beans (simmer for a little bit). Add mushrooms(simmer). Add beets, salt to taste, beets absorb salt like nobody’s business.

5. Simmer for ~15… add tomatoes 😝

6. Add lemon and orange zest, generously. Simmer for ~10 mins.

7. Sample and add more spices to taste.

8. Make your couscous about now (bring .5tsp salt, 1tbsp olive oil, 1 cup water to boil. Take off heat and add one cup dry cous cous. Let rest for 5 minutes)

Here are some recent images from my life. The sword one is a real broadsword from spain. Not shown is me monkeying around trying to cut dandelions.

Feed yourself with rainbows that sprout from the earth!!
