More details under the cut...

What should I message you? Open with something like,, "Hi! I'd like to commission you. Here's what I'd like-" and then attach details for your commission. Please include 1. the type of art desired (reference sheet, illustration, doodles, comic, etc) 2. the subject of the commission (reference of your character, description of the scene, any additional references for the pose or accessories) 3. the style of art desired (my style tends to shift, so include what art of mine caught your eye when you thought of commissioning me). Include as MUCH detail as possible, it'll make the process go a lot smoother. Then close with any questions you might have or just,, "Thanks in advance!" or something. NOTE: Ideally character references should be flatly coloured and/or have swatches for colour picking. Also, I switch between the programs Clip Studio Paint & MS Paint, each program affecting the process and style, so the distinction is important to consider. Also important is that more details / drawings / rendering / backgrounds = more time = more expensive. So please be wary!

What should I expect after? I will confirm details of the commission with you and then there'll likely be a small pause for me to set time aside to draw. When I'm ready, I'll message you to send payment through and begin on the commission itself. During the process I will share updates on the commission asking for feedback and alterations will be made until it's done. If I hit my time limit, I'll show you what I've done so far and you can either take the work as it is or give me the extra payment needed and I'll continue working on it until completion.

What art will I receive? The finished exported file and any extra sketches that I made along the way. If I know you personally, I'll happily send you a copy of the .clip file too if you'd like!!

What can I use the art for? If you plan on using my art for anything profit related, please let me know as this might alter how much I'd like to be paid. The general rule is if you make more money using my art than I would producing it, that's shitty as hell. If you have any questions about this then ask. Do NOT use my art for NFTs or anything similar, do NOT use my art in anything A.I related. You can do whatever you'd like with the art personally though- DO feel free to use it to customise your blog, DO feel free to print it off to hang in your room... And obviously, don't claim the art is yours :/

What if I break your rules? Blocked and added to a blacklist.

I'd like my commission to be private. Posting the art to my own blog helps me with advertising my work, but of course I won't do so if you'd prefer it be kept out of public eye for whatever reason. Just let me know!

I need accommodations for my visual impairments! Of course!! I will happily draw more distinct lineart, use less eye straining colours, use more accessible fonts, etc, if needed! Just let me know in advance what accommodations you need ^ ^

Who's exempt from paying for an image description? Anyone with visual impairments and anyone who struggles processing visual information are obviously my main concern- But I will write IDs for anyone who's disabled since there tends to be an overlap in community there. I trust that the people commissioning me can make the distinction.

Why do you charge money for image descriptions? I'm autistic so it's especially difficult for me to translate visual information into an ID. I don't think I'm asking for that much considering that IDs can take up to 15 minutes for me to write (or more if it's really difficult, yikes!), VS a neurotypical who'd probably do a better job AND do it faster than me :/ Just saying.

Your commissions are so cheap! I'm currently using a lower pricing to scope out the interest in my work- In future I'd hope to bump up the prices though. Also… The economy.

Why don't you want to be paid per piece? I don't feel getting paid per piece would properly represent the amount of work I put into a given artwork. Even bad art takes time and effort, so I would rather be compensated for my time than be paid per piece.

Would you ever consider starting a store for prints/shirts/etc? At some point, maybe? But atm no. Feel free to make your own stuff using my art though! So long as you don't use my art for profit, you can make your own shirts or print off ur own posters or whatever you want :3

What will the money go towards? I am unemployed and would like to earn some income so I can be financially independent and ideally (eventually) move out. I'm not struggling atm though, so I will also use the money to support other artists. I will also draw for charity, charities which I will list somewhere in this post once I get around to it :3

do you want to talk about the canary au i think we should talk about the canary au

I could have probably typed something here but instead I listened to A Sadness Runs Through Him by The Hoosiers and drew all of this so that the images wouldn't be stuck in my head.

Because the ID is so long it's going under the cut:

The following are pages drawn in MS Paint of JRWI:Riptide characters, with the lyrics 'The Hoosiers - A Sadness Runs Through Him' accompanying story beats of the Canary AU. Colours represent different characters: the color red associated with the Navy, purple with Ayva, blue with Gillion, crimson with Chip, and orange with Jay.

The first page starts with a close-up of an epaulette, "people are puppets held together with strings" which zooms out to show Ayva in their Navy uniform, a stamped Navy document beside her labelled 'AYVA FERIN' reading the lyrics, "there's a beautiful sadness that runs through him".

The next frame transitions in with Ayva's missing poster on a pole in the background, the lighting of the shot highlighting Gillion and Chip's wariness as they look on at Ayva speaking (Chip's expression more hostile than Gillion's). Gillion recalls the moment with the lyrics, "as he asks me to pray to the God he doesn't believe in…." The frame is pulled back as Ayva waits for a response, cast in shadow as she stands opposed to the pair. Gillion closes the distance between them, a shot of Ayva's eyes showing their surprise before they look up and the two grasp each other by the forearm. Ayva who has previously been coloured red is now purple. Ayva looks stern, and Chip has his back turned as he still looks skeptical, but Gillion smiles feeling self assured.

Split into three panels: Ayva is framed between two similar panels of Gillion and Chip, their younger selves smiling with their older selves standing behind them, "time and again boys are raised to be men". Some shading highlights their three matching pendants.

A young Jay smiles up at Ayva, having struck a bullseye with an arrow after having missed a couple of times, "impatient they start…….." ..only to be followed by an older Jay with blood dripping from her mouth, "..FEARFUL THEY END".

In a collage: in one drawing Ayva's hair is flared up, another Ayva is holding an injured Gillion close, and another Ayva takes a hit to protect an injured Chip, "here was a man mourning"- Three drawings capture an identical scenario, Ayva cradling the deceased body of Gillion, of Chip, of Jay, the line finishing, "TOMORROW…" There is a close-up of Ayva's tearful and grief-stricken expression, "he drank but finally drowned in his sorrow……"

The next page starts with a black background to represent the BLOCK. Ayva is standing up to Jayson, fire blazing around them, "he could not break surface tension". There's a closeup of Ayva, hair alight and eye blazing orange as she asserts, "(he) looked in the wrong place for redemption……."

The words continue in purple, "don't look at me with", then blue, "those eyes". Gillion's sparkling as he watches on with an eager 'I told you so' expression, Chip looking completely shocked. The trio run together out of the BLOCK, "i tried to un-heave the ties…." Ayva looks back down a hallway to Jayson at the other end, cast in the light of outside of the BLOCK while he remains in the dark, the page now transitioning to white. "Turn back the time that drew him………."

Ayva looks sad as she looks back, but her expression hardens as they reach up to their pendant, "but he couldn't be saved."

Mirroring the earlier frame, there is a zoomed out shot of Ayva looking back, only now looking back at the whole of the BLOCK. It stands in the distance coloured red, while she stands in the foreground a purple silhouette, a purple shadow dividing her and the crew's boat from it. The page ends, "A SADNESS RUNS THROUGH HIM."
