I love art trades. But I've been closed to them publicly ever since I was ripped off in a trade that someone offered and then disappeared after I completed my end. I also started to feel like people weren't offering fair trades for the work I'd put in. But I adore art of any of my characters, regardless of skill level, and my queue is now caught up to recent times. So I'm going to take a risk and open trades for artists of any skill level, as long as clear effort is shown (drawing bad on purpose as a gag is fine but it can't be a stick figure with the character's hair or an undefined scribble if you get what I mean)
I still have some older commissions to finish before I can work on my side of trades, but there really isn't much left in my queue now, just a few days of proper progress should clear it up.
I have these conditions for trades:
-I am only offering sketches (Which you are allowed to ink/color/etc) In exchange, you provide whatever level of art you think is worth a sketch from me. A readable sketch at the very least.
-Character for a character, so if you want a sketch with more than one character you need to draw that many characters. Max of 4 characters.
-You must show me your completed side of the trade first so I have assurance I won't be drawing for nothing. I have a lot more to lose in not completing my end of a trade, so it can be assured I will get it done. If for any reason I seem to be taking too long (over a month after your side is finished) you are welcome to check in with me. There is a chance something got lost in the queue. If you are not confident in providing your side first though, you are welcome to put a big watermark or a "PREVIEW DO NOT POST" text over the image on the first version you provide and only give me the watermarkless version once you get my side of the trade.
-You need to show me what your art looks like so I have an idea of what your usual art looks like OR if you're not really an artist but you want to try your best to see how well you can draw one of my characters, let me know because I'm fine with that too and want to support people being new to drawing!
When you contact me for a trade, you have multiple options for what kind of trade you want to do. You can:
-offer to draw one or more specific OCs of mine, and I will tell you what to draw them doing
-Let me pick characters for you to choose from based on what I think would suit your art style
-Ask me to be specific about what I want, so I pick the character and what is happening in the image with clear instructions
-Ask for an art challenge! If you're new to drawing, or want to try something new, let me know what sort of things you want to improve and I will assign you something that goes along with at least one of them. This can be things like complex clothing, animals, hand poses, eye styles or style testing in general. This is where I allow you to be experimental and get a nice sketch in exchange!
To offer a trade, email me at [email protected] and let me know what kind of trade you want from the above list! I will add you to the trade queue which you can view here
PLEASE be patient, it's likely I will get a lot of trade offers so it may take a bit to get through them- however I will try my best to finish my end of the trade within a week or two of being shown your side.
No overly complex characters, please. I designed my characters to be easier to draw, and giving me too many details will just muddy up the sketch
Fetishes allowed as long as it's SFW but no CHILDREN involved in any fetish art
No requests for politically charged content or content meant to stir up drama
1 trade per person at a time, please, but you can do more after. This means I am drawing one image per trade, either of a character alone or multiple characters together
