Local Lucrecia Crescent defender

Since my parents won't stop bugging me about work and money and all that stuff, I'm finally making the announcement that I will be accepting commissions for both artwork and writing.

Artwork done in my normal semi-chibi artstyle will be a bit cheaper than more detailed ones, and things like shading will be a bit extra. And larger pieces like my Final Fantasy VII Kabbalah will be a bit more on the pricy side. As for writing, I'm thinking that longer pieces will be worth more.

I will only draw things that I'm comfortable with. So if you want me to draw characters you like, within reason, then that'll probably get made.

My current ideas for pricing are:

Art: Semi-chibi: $15, $20 with shading Full detail: $25, $30 with shading Mural: $40 base

Which makes me wonder...What if Sephiroth's mommy issues are more than just emotional? What if they're physical as well? Spiritual? Down to their souls being linked? What if he and Lucrecia are physically bonded to each other through the cells and are perpetually suffering from the constant pain of separation?

You have a universe where it’s just as lore-appropriate for a character to send emails via cellphone as it is to scorch dragons with concentrated lightning or fire. There’s never a moment where the presence of technology dampens the fantastical elements because they’re so seamlessly interlaced that the story couldn’t function without the other balancing it out. Mako alone bolsters so much of the plot: AVALANCHE’s dangerous advocacy, ShinRa’s motivation and source of power, SOLDIER enhancements, Cloud’s poisoning, thematic dilemmas on how it’s used to power everyday life vs. how it’s leeching the planet, and the general existence of mutation and non-animal creatures in the FF7 world.

Not even Sephiroth’s story could’ve played out without advanced genetic experimenting and an ancient entity who couldn’t be absorbed into the spiritual lifeblood that veined the planet in which it crashed upon. Cloud’s story would never be the same without being trapped in a horrific sci-fi lab and grappling with a spiritual poison that rendered him comatose on the way to Midgar. There’d be no spirit-fueled Reactors for AVALANCHE to bomb, no WEAPONS to defend the planet, and no war for ShinRa to engage in order to spread their influence; Vincent wouldn’t have inner demons, Lucrecia wouldn’t be in a purgatorial crystal, Nanaki wouldn’t be captured by twisted scientists, and Aerith wouldn’t be studied by the Turks for her spiritual connection to a mako-rich Promised Land.
