oh god i’d heard about the “i won’t commission artists who undercharge for their art” post and now it’s making its rounds on my dash.
please understand that this concept does not actually help anyone. the sensible thing to do if an artist is undercharging is to tip them for what you think their work it worth, and be sure to let them know that. even if this doesn’t cause them to actually change their base prices, at least YOU’RE paying for what it’s worth, and THEY’RE getting business instead of nothing.
by essentially boycotting artists who are already unsure of the value of their own work (and are thus underpricing) you’re not sending any positive message. no one is going to up their commission prices when nobody is buying them. the only thing the artist gets out of it is that people don’t want to buy their art for some reason, and people who’s products aren’t selling aren’t going to say “oh i guess it was because i wasn’t charging enough, i’ll pump up the prices!”
if you want to support a commission artist, please do it by actually SUPPORTING THEM WITH COMMISSIONS rather than by choosing to take your business elsewhere because their prices were too low.
I really wanted to do a proper monster!jon design, usually they boil down to guy with a lifetime eye subscription but personally I think it’d be cool if he was no longer even humanoid,,
So, imagine the eyepocalypse but everything is. Even more wrong. Instead of regular Jon walking around with Martin it’s this thing, he can technically still speak like this, only trough tape recorders and there’s an unmistakable sound of recorded crying/wailing playing under his words.
Sometimes when he’s especially upset there’s no words and the recorded crying of all the world trapped in a fearscape hell is all that plays, occasionally the tape rewinds during this or there’s scratches in the recording.

Feel free to ask questions/request art of the archive here (: it’s been a while since I got to do proper horror art, I’ll maybe be doing some anyways but submissions never hurt
(Lmk if I missed a cw tag and I’ll make sure to add it ASAP)
Really craving a vast/spiral statement. The mind crushing scale of the cosmos. The tendency to hallucinate on long space journeys. The literal spiraling descent of a black hole's event horizon. I want to see a statement character get completely obsessed with spirals in space uzumaki style.
listening to spooky podcasts led me back to Magnus animatics that reminded me of a piece I'd always planned but was never able to execute the way I liked, and how much I enjoyed Jon and Daisy's later-mid relationship, the silent understanding they had as a pair of ravenous monsters doing their best not to eat anyone by accident.
