B*tch, I'm whimsical.

Request form

I never thought I’d need to make a post like this, but here we are.

I know times are hard for everyone, so I want to be very clear and upfront. I’m a self-employed translator with a chronic illness (lupus), which makes corporate work extremely difficult. I’ve managed for about 10 years, but my main client recently ceased activity, and I’m currently unable to make a living from my primary job. Over the past few months, this has resulted in mounting overdue bills.

I’m also currently stuck in an administrative situation I can’t resolve on my own, and I urgently need to raise funds to avoid losing the small benefits I’m eligible for.

I am not asking for charity. I don’t want anyone to put themselves in financial difficulty for me, and I know I’m far from the only person struggling right now.

However — if you’d like a portrait of your OC, RPG character, or a favorite fictional character, and if you can comfortably afford $50, commissioning me right now would help me tremendously.

Due to the urgency, I’m currently offering front-facing portraits with a simple background only, but I plan to expand options (poses, backgrounds) later on.

The commission form is here. Feel free to DM me if you have questions — or to send pet pictures. I will gladly accept all serotonin (insects, spiders, and reptiles very welcome).

And if commissioning isn’t an option for you — which I completely understand — sharing and reblogging this post to help it reach the right people would already mean a lot.
