Something lives here

hiii im opening up my commissions bc i absolutely must!

at the end of this month im going to be homeless and before that happens i want to save up as much as possible to keep me afloat and to have enough for food, transportation, monthly bills like phone, and storage for the little belongings i can keep with me. i do still have a job and im in the process of trying to get a transfer from the store im at to one where i will end up, but im unsure of how long that might take or if ill even be able to. lots of things left up in the air but i have hope!

i don't really have a fixed price, it will depend on the complexity and subject. but to give u a good idea of where it might land depending on the style:

-simple sketch, no color/flat color: ~$40 to ~$50

-rendered: ~$60

-realistic sketch: ~$80

-realistic, rendered: ~$100+

-additional characters are ~$10+

if you are interested in nsfw commissions, dm me for references as im shy about it, despite it being what im best at :p

full payment will be discussed after initial sketch, and price will vary depending on changes. *there may be an upfront fee (usually half upfront, the rest when finished) to ensure satisfaction from both parties. again, full price will be discussed one on one.

as always, if you just want to chip in and help a cool cat out, it would be greatly appreciated and wont go unnoticed. if u cant commission or donate, consider sharing to those who can :3c

The Rodeo Rule: you only have to do it for the first time once.

The Rohan Rule: if you are at a social function full of new people and you want to be liked, find someone doing important work like setup or food prep and offer to help.

The Tutorial Mode Rule: to navigate an unfamiliar situation where you fear you will mess up an interaction, preface the interaction by mentioning that you've never done this before, and let them know if you have a specific concern or question.

The Rocket Science Rule: most new things you want to try seem very complicated but are simple when taken step by step.

The [X] Will Remember That Rule: if you need to make small talk with the same person on a regular basis, try to save one fact or current event in their life from a given conversation and bring it up next time you talk.
