Particularly my creature characters, I could probably give a short bit of information on them each? I though it would be a neat way to flesh them and their world out

I'm willing to post about all of the above, as it's kind of how this kicked off-

And I'd like to say that as much as I love you showing you enjoy my art via likes:

Image ID: The above have three illustrations, the first two are surrealist illustrations of a female common merganser, it's foggy, holding this ball of light that is implied to be a celestial body, and extra jaws, the first image shows more of the environment, and the second has this deep fog. The last illustration is of a short eared owl and northern harrier, or hen harrier; the harrier is tilted up with its talons spread, while the short eared owl rises above the harrier.

End ID

(Let me know how I can improve my image descriptions)

Nala and I started this series, mostly in attempt to get more funds because I am beginning to really need food money, and I haven't gotten enough commissions to be sustainable over the past year --we have various disabilities which makes most access to work inaccessible, however I have been begun reaching out to museums and such in hopes we could illustrate for them--

Our money currently exclusively goes to food and accessibility related things.

If you have the funds! Whether you consider it commission or a donation with bonus art! I'd love to draw something for you!

If you would like a character drawn, alters drawn, a creature designed, hell- these surrealist style birds of your pick! I have a wide variety of prices and things I can draw! From robots to people to creatures!

Please reach out! Or share if you can :]

Female and male Arboreus aquaticus!!!

Below is an example of someone's character created with this base

I was very happy to work with them and make this design for them :]

I just spent the last while on this, enjoy kissing all of the creatures I solidly have (there's more as you have seen, but these are the few that have somewhat solid designs)

Here is zoomed in on the little guys

Yes I tried to make this somewhat accurately sized

Then specifically kissa for Arcade and Moss:

I found the amount of effort and time I put into each commission felt far more than what I got out of it and it cannot sustain food spending.

Especially due to the low commission rates– I'd prefer to have low prices but many commissions so more people could get the chance to commission me but- unfortunately that is not doable.

I will ensure that I have lower cost commissions -- under $10 -- still, however this will exclusive be for lower effort/ single character sketches.

Thank you for understanding ! Please I still encourage you to commission me in this cheaper range while you can!

Treat it as a donation to me- the art in return is my gift back to you.

Examples of my art below:

Even if you're not much of an illustrator we can work together to get you a critter

The community engagement is fun and honestly is going to encourage me a lot more than likes will ! --though I do appreciate if your form of communication is quietly through likes--

I know I talk in a way that may not feel very 'casual' but I assure you this is just the autism- feel no intimidation as I am quite socially awakward

H. bates have the largest 'herd' numbers of all three mantoda species. They're defined by often having a reddish hue, and being broader than ahyemalis, and less stocky than nivalis.

These are also a close second to being the largest! nivalis on average is larger, especially in mass- but often in height. However not uncommonly are some bates taller than nivalis- male bates are in fact often longer than nivalis (excluding bull male nivalis)
