Limited palette commissions

me and my partner @lord-emerson are trying to save money for me to go visit them in September, so I'm opening commissions again :) this time for small painted portraits in limited color palette

here're some examples:

(Jones belongs to @viric-dreams, Hiram belongs to @esteemed-excellency)

the palettes are based on Fallen London items and made by @thedeafprophet (you can find them here). another option is for me to create a different palette based on some other FL item/NPC/location of your choice

price: €10, payment via PayPal/Revolut

if you're interested in something else, my regular commissions are also open!

So... since artfight is coming up very soon, I was thinking we could all link our ocs that are on there in a giant thread! I'd love to see who I can send boxes of rats to via the post i mean politely create art for in ways that definitely do not involve mailing rats!

You can find mine here:

Alice Davis from the Mary Everhard Collection at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. The first picture is labeled “circa 1895“ on the museum website but based on the silhouette of the gown, I would estimate the year 1905 to 1908
