Hey YOU, Black/POC self-shipper, or person in GENERAL. Do YOU wanna commission from Crepe, but scared of the artist whitewashing or not being able to draw your character (whether it be textured hair, skin, etc etc)? Well I have a list of resources that I will be updating! And if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know! I tried to add notes that might be helpful and from my experience.
Burning_nipple — Notes: HIGHLY recommend! Very good with different body types, skin tones and textured hair. One of my favorite artists and genuinely can’t recommend enough! My favorite is the crayon style. They also speak English too!
0taku — Notes: If you don’t mind Gacha/Omakase, recommended! Also speaks English.
naao_0pu — Notes: N/A
1900800B00 — Notes: N/A
hunaksseo — Notes: If you pick the Gacha you can get it within 24 hours, and they also speak English.
pepper_0731 — Notes: N/A
Prwoman06 — Notes: Speaks English, and a big fan of Western media/people (such as Marvel, comics, etc)
bessy_1211 — Notes: N/A

anything_ikeru — Notes: The prices are a little pricey and they take a while, but I think it’s 100% worth it. So if you want to treat yourself, I recommend this artist.

Tips for commissioning artists on Crepe: References! References! References! I always encourage using as many references as possible, especially if your S/I has textured hair and you’re sensitive about that. Include real life references for example! It always helps trust me.
Make sure you are CLEAR!! But also respectful! Just because you’re paying them doesn’t mean that they take disrespect. Artists are human too, and have the right to refuse you because you are rude.
It’s always helpful to have a sheet that you can use over and over again for your character. It makes it easier on the artist and you!
If you aren’t sure if an artist speaks English/Japanese/Etc, you can always ask. But I encourage you to translate your request in Korean & English (or whatever other language you want to), you might be surprised by the ones that speak your language.
Happy commissioning! Proship DNI. Make your own.
