Separate Ways

I'm Syd, 31 y.o. mixed indigenous artist and writer. I'm slated to go into surgery on July 2nd, 2026, and am trying to raise funds to assist with rent, groceries, and pet care while I am out of work, since I am the primary earner in my household. Any amount helps, and reblogs are appreciated.

Commissions (USD): * Black and White Bust Sketch: $10 * 5 Simple Expressions: $30, + $15 for every subsequent 5 for the same character. * Fully Rendered Bust Portrait (Person or Animal) : $75

Process: I am very staunchly anti-AI, I don't use AI in any of my work. I use color palettes submitted to me by my commissioners because I am colorblind. I collaborate with commissioners and process black and white sketches until reaching a final design and rendering it. Below is an example of my process for a portrait commissioned by the lovely Elunoir <3.

Timeline: Because I've been struggling with chronic fatigue, and don't know the extent of my workload, my timeline of getting rendered portraits done will likely be 1-2 months, worst case scenario, and depending on complexity. Sketches will usually be done within a week, and Expression Sheets will be a month. I'll be communicating if anything changes. I also work nights in the EDT timezone, so my communications may come at odd hours, thank you for your patience.

Payment/Donations: I take payments and donations through Paypal, at paypal.me/yradianydell

Other Examples: Below are examples of work that I've done previously for personal use, or gifts to friends, and examples of what I do.

I must have said ‘this sucks’ about a million times that day, and ‘that was close’ about a million more. How much longer would my luck hold out? How many more times could I cheat death, in that seemingly endless living hell?
