we discuss your commission idea in order for me to determine whether i can / want to draw it;

you send me reference image(s) of the character(s) you want me to draw. please provide clear images that make it easy to discern the character's design (i.e body type, facial features, etc). please note that, depending on the specifics of your request, if you lack clear references i may refuse your commission altogether;

i draw the initial sketch and ask for feedback. major edits are possible at this stage;

after your approval, i request the full payment to be made; i accept payments through hipolink only. after you pay, i continue working on your commission.

when the commission is finished, i will first send it to you for approval. only minor edits are possible at this stage. anything major will only be done for additional pay. if everything is to your liking, i will provide the hd image via email;

i reserve the right to post your commission on my social media and use it as an example in my future commission posts. i usually ask, but please notify me beforehand if you'd rather i keep it private.

the art i draw is for personal, non-commercial use only. no refunds.

i will be working on these at my own pace throughout the next several months; i expect to be done with everything by the end of the summer. if there is a deadline you need me to meet, please notify me beforehand.

for more examples of my work, feel free to peruse the #cbge art tag. thank you!

a few people in the tags of this post have asked why flynn is an isopod and were left without an answer. today, almost exactly 3 years (and a blog change) later, i have picked smtiv back up again, and ran into that specific demon banter, so i can finally elaborate -- it's because of this:

i am going to be completely real with you a month ago i had no idea what shin megami tensei was other than that its called shin megami tensei but then i blacked out and somehow found myself 50 hours into smtiv with absolutely no recollection of how and why i got there so here are some doodles. mostly jon and walter becos they are fun to draw

wife and i watched steins;gate & sg0 two years ago and i doodled these but sat on them this entire time bc i was hoping to redraw them digitally but at this point i don't think that's ever going to happen so i'll just post them as is

low effort zine

[cbge]

i have always been very fascinated by people who can make zines about anything and everything, so lately i've been trying a build a habit of drawing them myself whenever i feel like it by carrying around pre-folded and pre-cut one-page-zines. this one is about a snowman i built last weekend. translation under cut

ILYA

this april, there was a surprising amount of snow. i was at the country house at the time, and decided to build a snowman. my friends said that he looks like an "ilya". while we were sitting in the garden house, laughing and smoking, ilya was slowly melting under the bright spring sun. what was he thinking about in that moment? did ilya have any dreams? hopes? plans? who was his bouquet for?

ilya btw:

would anyone like to become snail mail pen pals? or just receive a letter or get a postcard or stickers or something. i got a typewriter last year as a birthday gift for myself and i thought it would be very awesome to write letters on

clarification: anyone who isn't from usa... they don't deliver mail to where i'm from

in the vast ocean of tumblr dot com a single post describing a character archetype or perhaps a concept is akin to whalefall for the diverse ecosystem of character posters

[cbge]

my favorite character archetype is beautiful intimidating sexy woman who is actually a lonely little dork with deep psychic wounds

wife and the dog she didn't want

I love mikhail just as much as the next guy AND I adore vampire and "scientist"'s dynamic so much. I NEEEeeD to know how they come to be. I especially love how the scientist can talk back to the vampire despite being the lady's servant

i love how you said the part about mikhail as if there are fans of him, lol. thank you for this ask though because i’ve been meaning to sit down and structure my thoughts about their relationship for a while now (assuming that’s what you’re asking about; if you’re wondering about how i came up with the characters in the first place, i’ve been pretty open about them being knock-offs).

to start off, the doctor (viktor) was heavily based on daniil dankovsky and his research of death, but aside from that, as a character he is also inspired by victor frankenstein and viktor from arcane (hence the name), and their united strife to overcome the shortcoming of humanity and reach beyond what is possible. so before becoming the vampire's (olga) lifelong companion, he (late 30s at the time) was similarly overtaken by a desire to study the nature of human life; specifically ways of prolonging it. his research eventually led him to study and be fascinated by vampirism as a phenomenon (much like his other inspiration, edgar swansea from vampyr), which in turn resulted in him becoming a subject of interest not only for the witch-hunting order (inquisition, basically) but also for olga, who is a powerful vampire. she saw great potential in his research and believed it could benefit greatly from her own knowledge of the undeath, so she approached him with an offer of patronage and protection from the order (like how dracula offers the same to frankenstein in the movie van helsing). viktor readily agreed so olga set him up with a lab in the basement of her hidden residence.

viktor is a very direct person; he doesn’t take kindly to being ordered around and talks to people like they are his equals, regardless of whether they have power over him or not. he was obviously very grateful for olga’s patronage but he immediately made it very clear that he considers their arrangement a partnership rather than ownership, and this audacity was precisely the reason olga liked him so much. being a vampire lord, she was used to people and supernatural beings alike groveling at her feet; it was useful to be feared, but it was also incredibly boring. having viktor around not only satisfied her scientific curiosity but also her longing for companionship. 

she grew very attached to him (and him to her) in the time that they spent living together, which is why seeing him age with time disturbed her greatly. eventually she offered for him to be turned, but despite his interest in the undeath, viktor refused. instead he proposed for him to feed on her blood in order to become her ghoul (like in vtm). this action inextricably linked them together and made them dependent on each other; according to vampire traditions it also "officially" made viktor olga’s “servant”, but after a decade of being partners neither of them pay heed to the implied power imbalance. hence why they joke around about it.
