I wish artists realized how hurtful it is to their commissioners and fans when they talk about how much they hate doing art as a job...
Nowhere did I say I hate doing art as a job, so please don't assume that. I LOVE doing art as a job, I'm doing something I enjoy and can work from home and make my own hours. But I do wish I had room in my life to fully keep my art as a passion project and a hobby for myself rather than monetize everything I create. Almost all of my art energy goes into work - I rarely make personal art.
Doing art as a job is a necessity for me though, which is the reality for many artists who don't have transportation or are disabled or still live with their parents, or whatever kind of tough situation that keeps one from working a weekly paycheck 9-5 job that everyone's expected to have. When you grow up creating characters and worlds and writing and painting and are full of inspiration and passion for the art of making art, I think you have a right to occasionally say "what could have been" when the harsh world flattens you daily with a big cartoon hammer and drains every single cent its forced you to make off of your art skill from you for the privilege of living.

Hello fellow internetians,
So to start this off, I write and draw but I'm working may way up to accepting art requests so I'm starting with writing first since I've done so before.
The names I go by are Ash/Arena so please address me by either of you need to. About a year ago now, give or take a couple of months, I got sick and ever since I've been having to rely on my mother's income. I want to help her out and so I'm taking commissions in any of the fandoms I list on the first page. Rules will be included below and I have a goal in mind that I wish to reach.
Currently said goal is 500 a month but I want to keep a hold on this goal for periods of time so every time it hits I'll reset.
I'm still getting accounts to other platforms set up so if needed I can be reached across various different platforms so I can keep up with everyone and so you all can keep up with me.

Hello Everyone,
As I listed in the description this book is for commissions and for the most part I'll be collecting requests from this book while also posting the requests in this book so you all don't have to search far to find your story after I'm done writing them.
My name is Arena, though Ash and Ashes are other names that I don't mind you all calling me by either. I am 20 years old and so most of my work will be for adults considering I am one. If you aren't an adult though you can still request but you'll have to go to the 'Underage Requests' Page and do it there which I'll be making before Post an 'Adult Requests' Page. Please do not lie to me about your ages because if you do I'll be upset.
Now for my story:
About a year ago, give or take some months, I got sick with Guillain-Barre and so I haven't been able to work thanks to being currently disabled. I have written commissions before on here and ao3 (archiveofourown) on different accounts so I'm doing that again. When I have all my accounts fully set up I'll mention them on this account by name under my account so you all can branch out and find me if needed. As stated I haven't been able to work or attend college like I was before so this is my way of making some much needed cash for myself and my family.
If you don't have the money that's fine, I'm not talking to you, but I do appreciate you reading my book and sharing it to bring more people to it in the future.
From this point on I expect to have people contacting me so I'll go ahead and list my fandoms and prices.
I do write for OCS as well though so if you are looking for that just go ahead and skip to the next chapter which will be talking about my few rules for OCS. I also roleplay so I'm happy to accept and adopt other roleplayers that are literate like I am. If you are not looking for a partner but instead want to commission me to write out a certain scene from your own roleplays that's of course welcomed and accepted.
Fandoms:
- Castlevania
- My Hero Academia
- Diabolical Lovers
- Avatar/Legend of Korra
- Avatar (with the big blue ppl)
- Hellsing
- Black Butler
- Obey Me
- Stardew Valley
- Naruto Shippuden
- Across the Spiderverse
- The Arcana
- Records of Ragnarok
- Mortal Kombat
- Resident Evil Series
- Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss
- Detroit Becomes Human
((Keep in mind that the fandom list can and most likely will grow so if you are interested but your fandom isn't listed it is okay to ask me if I'll still write them. I'm in a lot of fandoms I just couldn't think of all the names at the moment))
Prices:
- 500 words for $5
- 1000 words for $15
- 2000 words for $25
- 3000 words for $35
- 4000 words for $45
- 5k words for $55
- 6k words for $65
- 7k words for $75
- 8k words for $85
- 9k words for $95
- 10k words for $105
Considering situations, sometimes stories will be longer than what was paid and it's okay, I won't go over to the point where the story leads into a different price range but a few extra words will go over the limit sometimes. If that happens, don't worry about it. It's free of charge after that so you don't have to pay extra.
I also want to mention that I also write for 'Monster Fuccers' so if you have a thing for DnD or some monster OC you want to hunch on I accept requests for those as well so don't by shy.
If you have questions on what I will or will not write even after reading all the pages that will be posted after this chapter then just comment here or dm more for answers. ÙwÚ
That's all for now I believe so for now I'll be checking out. Please excuse any typing errors if there are any, I'll be correcting them in my own time. (no, of course I'll make sure to double check and correct any errors that my be in your requests before sending it to you ) As I've said, if you have questions my dms and comments are always open so don't be afraid to ask me anything.
My payment methods are PayPal and Cashapp though PayPal can be a bit frustrating for me so depending on things I might close that option and only make Cash app my way of payment.
Thank you all for reading into this and I hope we can get along and can happy things rolling soon. Everyone who deserves it, have a blessed day! ✨✨✨

also, while I'm here-
h. hey guys! .....what! the fu-!
THANK YOU FOR 500 FOLLOWERS!
?????? where did you all come from???????????
Alas, I did not have anything fancy prepared for this, and I've been too busy with college and mental health n all that to make much of anything for the blog, but genuinely, thank you. I've had a great two years running this silly thing (anniversary was yesterday, as it happens), and a huge part of it is how lovely and welcoming the community is here. Here's to (hopefully) more wonderful experiences with all of you, thanks for sticking with me <3

Opening Commissions
Because school and medicine are a bitch, and I think I’m going to need a new drawing tablet soon (my first one has lasted me a few years but that cord is getting. dicey haha)
I’m finally doing online commissions so, here it is! It would be delightful if you distribute this post or want to support me and order something!
I have a contact email specifically for coms listed in the pic, but if you have any questions don’t be afraid to DM me. I’ll only open 10 slots for now, and will keep the status (Open / Full / Closed) in the bio
( Paypal is not agreeing with me at the moment so we’re rolling with Venmo for now )
I will not do mechs or backgrounds, just because I’m not confident enough in my ability to draw them well enough to sell.
I can do fanart of a series/character, OCs, and/or D&D characters! (If possible please have some references I can go by or a detailed description)
