Pay What You Want Commissions are back!!

I'm flat broke ATM due to some emergency expenses from earlier in the month, so I'd appreciate any boost either in funds or to this post (through reblogs) 💕

As before, PWYW is here temporarily alongside my regular commission prices

Spring and Fall are migraine seasons for me, so I apologize in advance if it takes me a bit longer than usual to complete your order! Regardless, I will keep you updated on the progress of your commission throughout its time under construction.

I do PWYW pieces according to the amount paid. If you pay a significantly higher or lower amount than my regular listed prices, you'll get something 'off-menu' (like a sketch or a posed full-body)

Here's a Link to my ko-fi, where you can order a PWYW Commission or a regular commission!

OC Questions: Favorites and Least-Favorites

Like it says on the tin, but I want to add an implicit 'why? + how much? + since when? 👀' to all of these.

If the answer is 'no deep reason,' or 'they like it casually,' that's perfectly fine. There doesn't need to be a particular reason a character likes or dislikes something, but on the rare occasion that there is, it makes that character's preference much more interesting.
