#two draws

Mel Tallear | she/he | melanistic serval | 30-something | prestigous lawyer | shipped with Pawbert :3

*Mel's pronouns are she/he, as he's bigender. However, he isn't out (and doesn't really know that herself quite yet), so for the time being he'll be mostly referred to as she/her.

cw: brief mention of drugs (catnip)

Meet Mel Tallear, a black serval from the Savanna Square. She's one of those success stories you'll hear about whenever someone mentions the big city – a top student, best of her class, who earned a full scholarship and went on to study law, to now become a rising star of a lawyer in the Zootopia city center. Coming from rather humble beginnings, her parents always had high hopes for their special daughter, and sacrificed a lot to give her the opportunity to have a good life.

Mel worked hard all her life, spending her youth doing little else but study every day. Now, she's one of the youngest graduates of the city's most prestigous academy, and even known in her field as one of the very best.

Her secret? She hates it. She's never wanted to practice law, or do any other prestigous job. It's always been her parents dream for her, not her own, and she can't bear to disappoint them, but the truth is, she's unhappy. But she's stuck in her fancy job, and there isn't much she can do about it – is there?

Spots used to be relatively rare, with most Ayunae being striped or solid colored. By pure chance, the Great Calamity wiped out a large number of striped Ayunae, leading to future generations propagating the spotted gene.

Transformers s/i redesign for Rescue Bots

Fellas look at this I managed to redesign my sona and it doesn't suck! Is it perfect? Definitely not, but I actually don't hate it and that's such a huge step up

Chase what have you done to me. He's got me out here voluntarily drawing robots again when that's my own personal circle of hell. It's not even just that i'm bad at it, I actively do not enjoy it, I am having a very bad time. BUT! I simply MUST inflict this upon Chase. He WILL be kissed, and he will like it.

LORE (ish)

Unexpected expenses keep showing up to punch me in the face. Do you have coin for me?

🪻 I'm posting these on this blog, but unfortunately I am Not Good at drawing mech, unless I have an exact reference. So basically, I can redraw a character in the exact pose of the ref you send me, but that's about it. Headshots are probably fine though!

🪻 I DO love drawing cats! Cats are my specialty, and animals (mostly cat-like ones) in general are up there too, both feral and anthro. I would love to draw your fursonas or pets, or whatever else you have!

🪻 Also I LOVE selfships and oc x canon! Give them to me!

Prices

I'm keeping my prices rather loose because I don't have the slightest idea how to price things. They're mostly PWYW with a minimum.

*if you're here for Aria's surgery fund, consider the prices FULLY PWYW! Ignore the set ones. Just pay me what you feel I deserve

🪻 Headshot

Had to make them into collages because of tumblr mobile's image limit

🪻 Payment will be via Paypal

🪻 DMs can be via tumblr or discord – you'll only have to dm me here to ask for my discord handle, as I'd rather not make it public.

🪻 Turnaround time is a week maximum, but more than likely will be no more than a day or two in most cases. I'll do my best to communicate if something delays me.

🪻 You can dm me with what you'd like (provide as many details and references as possible, please spam me with details and references). Then I'll tell you what the price would be. If you agree to it, I will start sketching! Once you approve of the sketch, you'll pay me, and I will then continue your drawing.

🪻 My art is exclusively traditional – done on paper with colored pencils. I can not provide digital art. Once you approve of the final product, it will be scanned and can be sent to you via tumblr, discord, or e-mail. I'm also happy to mail the physical drawing, if the buyer pays for shipping!

-> regarding fursuit badges, I can also laminate! However I do not have access to products such as shiny foil etc, so if you'd like your badge laminated a certain way, you'll have to do it yourself. I'll normal-laminate for free though, I have a lot of those foil pouches. So, so many. I'm drowning in those things.

-> I can write your socials on the back for free, however if you'd like more than that, there'll be an extra fee. Just talk to me about it!

🪻 I'm going to do my best to send as many WIPs as I can to ensure you get what you want! I'm also happy to do as many revisions as necessary – I want you to be happy with the outcome! However, please keep in mind that, since this is traditional art, after I begin lining and coloring, there's only so much in terms of changes I can do.

🪻 No refunds unless you have a valid reason for needing to cancel. Amount of money refunded will depend on how much work has been completed.

🪻 Once you pay and get your art, it's yours to do with as you please. I only ask that you credit me if you post it and don't claim it as your own. Also, if you intentionally feed my work into GenAI, I reserve the legal right to hunt you for sport.

🪻 Will Draw

I'm best at cats/animals/furries, but I can do humans decently enough and I'm willing to attempt other things as long as you're okay with the results not being 100%! [Remember you can always change your mind if you dislike the initial sketch, no hard feelings!]

Any character! Your pets! Fursuit badges! Your favorite ship, any ship! Selfships very much included!

I'll draw pretty much whatever you want as long as you pay me! I don't care. I don't judge. Money's money. You want your favorite character buying wonderbread? Say no more fam. I gotchu.

However I am very inexperienced at straight-up nsf.w. I'm happy to do it, but I can't guarantee great results.

🪻 Won't Draw

Complex mech. I'm so sorry. Yes I'm a Transformers fan. I suffer too. Maybe some day.

Detailed backgrounds

saliva/sweat/e.meto content as a whole. Sorry, but i have severe e.metophobia so that's an absolute no.

Excessive gore – I actually do not mind it at all, I'm just very bad at it

Real people (yourself in for example a selfship context is of course fine! I just won't draw anyone that hasn't consented to being drawn) [live action characters are okay! Just not the actors themselves/rpf]

Hateful ideologies, offensive content. I decide what this means

H/rry Potter. I am very transgender.

TfA!Prowl ship content. As you can see by looking at my blog, we're married and I'm nonsharing. Sorry boos.

Unsure if I'll be able to do what you want? You can always ask! I'm judgement-free and the absolute worst thing I'll say is no.

Don't worry, he enjoys this ᓚ₍⑅^..^₎♡
