Entre la poire et le fromage

Ko-Fi Commissions

Hi there!

I've made no secret that I've recently become unemployed, and while I'm not currently struggling, pretty much every cent I receive from my unemployment benefits goes into rent, groceries, and bills.

So I've decided to reopen my Ko-Fi and do some art commissions in order to supplement that income. Regular Ko-Fi donations are also welcome, and if you wish to support me in other ways, you can buy prints of my work on Society6. Reblogs are also highly appreciated.

Monochrome Sketch of your OC: €10

You will get a monochrome (colour of your choosing) sketch of your character from the shoulders up against a single-colour background.

4 slots available.

Colour Portrait of your OC: €50

You will get a fully rendered digital portrait (bust) of your character against a gradient background.

1 slot available.

Terms:

You will need to provide references for your character. These can be screenshots, a faceclaim, fanart, detailed description, moodboard… The more detailed, the better.

The character is nude by default, but I can cover their shoulders with a shirt upon request (this needs to be specified before I start working on the piece, preferably upon ordering).

I can do fantasy, but am limited to humanoid characters. I won't do animals, furry, anthro or mech. Sorry. (If you're unsure whether or not I can do your character, just ask me beforehand)

Note that the final result may differ slightly from the examples shown as I've switched to another software and currently use different brushes.

Commissions may take up to a month or two to complete depending on my schedule.

This art is for personal use only. You are not allowed to resell it (either on its own, as part of a bundle, on merch, in books, etc).

Think about the society at the center of your story. What things are important to them, or would have been important to the people coming up with these names? How might these words have changed over the ages? (For example, "Monday" comes from "Monandaeg" which is the Saxon word for "Moon's Day" after the Latin/Roman name for Monday, which was "dies Lunae" or "Luna's Day." And, of course, "Luna" was the Ancient Roman moon goddess.) You might choose a particular convention to go with instead of ending each one with "day." Like maybe they end in "a" or "en" or "al."

You can also use a mix of things... perhaps this culture begins its week with a day of prayer and relaxation, so that is Prayer Day (or Praya as it evolved...), then the next four days are dedicated to work, so each day is named after one of the culture's most important trades: Fishing Day (Fisha), Mining Day (Minda), Farming Day (Farma), and Artisan Day (Artisa). Then, the last two days are dedicated to celebration and rest... Festival Day (Festa) and Repose Day (Reposa).

Happy writing!

I’ve been writing seriously for over 30 years and love to share what I’ve learned. Have a writing question? My inbox is always open!

if you're talking about penis and testes, just say that. "men" in that context is cis-centric. "amab genitals" means nothing, since trans women can have bottom surgery, and intersex people exist in all kinds of physical expressions of sex.

avoid sexualized terms like tits/boobs (use breasts) or dick, balls, etc. those terms take on a context that can make folks feel uncomfortable about their anatomy due to the sexual context. I feel uncomfortable when people try to be inclusive and say shit like "pussy haver" but if I'm reading a medical article about vaginas I'd much rather it be addressed to "people with vaginas" rather than "women"

2. everyone just commenting ‘QUERCHED’ is delightful

3. some people have suggested i use grammarly. this is letting the robots win and also would deprive me of the opportunity to complain about insignificant technical things instead of just wanting to scream over writing all the time

4. i use googledocs because i want access to my writing on multiple platforms and also because fuck microsoft 

i’m sorry what kind of AI FUCKERY is going on here that you are trying to ADD IN ADVERBS FOR ME that could ENTIRELY CHANGE THE TONE from a neutral ‘He’d been young’ to something that would put emphasis on just how young he was and how long ago it was you cannot just THROW EXTRA WORDS IN LIKE THAT

me @ everyone else using googledocs:
