$20/PWYW commissions!

Hey guys! Job search keeps improving and things are looking up, but I still need some quick money for student loan payments. tl;dr a check I’ve been expecting is late and I need to make up the difference 8′D So I’m bringing up this offer again! $20 is the flat rate I charge for a quickly-colored fullbody sketch! The examples below are a bit higher level of detail than the flat rate, but are a good example of what my style looks like these days.

The loan payments are thankfully a manageable size so just a couple commissions should be enough! I’m not doing limited slots though; I’ll just let you know what number in line you are . Once I’ve got your payment and commission details, you’ll be added to my queue! I can forecast about 2 weeks, if not sooner. (Due to some IRL hecticness, I still have to finish the previous batch of commissions, but those are nearing completion - thank you for your patience!!!)

Recent examples of my work! <3

Rules/Payment

Pretty much anything goes as far as subject matter, except for p.orn/N.SFW material. I reserve the right to reject any requests that make me uncomfortable for any reason (hate speech, personal squicks, etc.) 

I take payment in USD through PayPal only!

Like I mentioned above, a flat $20 will get you a quickly-colored fullbody sketch, but you’re free to send any amount and I’ll adjust the amount of detail accordingly. You’ll get at least a bust sketch in return! :) You can request more than a single character if you send $40+.

Payment and requests/references can be sent to carliemantel@gmail.com ! Visual references are awesome if you already have them, but if you don’t have any visuals (or don’t like drawing), descriptions accompanied by google-image-searched or stock references work too.

The examples above, and more of my art, can be found both on my main blog ghostfiish (tagged /carliedraws) and my art blog rainbowfiish. (feel free to reblog my art if you can’t afford a commission right now ;0)

Thanks for reading! Signal boosts appreciated <3

I did a panel redraw game on the Sleepless Domain discord server!! This was a really fun exercise and a good challenge to myself :)

Go read the comic if you like magical girl stuff (especially since this probably counts as some spoilers even without much context here lol)

I included closeups of the individual panels as well since the entire page isn't quite clear in the photo I took. There's some things I might wanna fix later for my own satisfaction but I'm happy with it!

Mom had some leftover tie dye. I had an idea

Took a break from art fight to finish the other expression thingy from Jwobblegong on dA, so now the page is finally full and I have one for Melelani and one for Hobbie. Thought I'd post em both together now that they're done bc I'm happy with them :)

hi! i found your blog from the Zakk Tomorrow gag on phantomrose's blog, and your art is so so cool! i havent looked through all of it, but that former-catgirl fox spirit oc is really interesting...! and!! you have a +ANIMA oc.... do you have any more drawings of her to share, or is she kinda a 'retired oc' you only drew for cringetober?

Thank you!!! I want to do more with Ren (the fox spirit one) and their brother Plum but like with pretty much all my OCs I have trouble with actual plot and stories, so I kinda stalled out after the design phase and haven't thought of anything yet, haha. Maybe someday!

As for Marin she's kind of an "everything" OC these days. Here's a recent-ish set of doodles I did before the cringetober thing, and she has a gallery on Toyhouse if you wanna see older stuff! https://toyhou.se/8517524.marin

Cringetober 3: Unnecessarily Complicated Outfit

This is an old +Anima OC that I gave a lot of belts in her original design, so here I just piled some more on to her usual outfit. and added a skirt over the pants. like ya do

[ghostfiish]

Cringetober Day 4: Angel x Demon

Yeah I definitely already had one of these guys (Kushiel) so I dove into making a cringe animu version. Hell yeah 13 year old me would lose her goddamn mind at this

[ghostfiish]

Cringetober time! These will probably be messy scribbles the whole month, but better than nothin

Day 1: Heterochromia. Somehow I never gave this trait to any of my OCs. Let's change that! This character is the antagonist for one of my story ideas, whom I've only ever called "Blindfold Girl". She DID always have eyes, though - I just never established the color until now. So I figured why the hell not just do This

Day 2: Self-Insert. I made me a vocaloid! She's mermaid/siren-themed, has rollerblades to "swim" around, and likes to eat donuts since ig vocaloids have signature foods (also donut = pool ring and shaped like rollerblade wheels)

[ghostfiish]

Let the cringe continue! I got sick so I had to break a bit but here we gooooo

Day 5: MS Paint

This is a recreation from memory of one of the first computer drawings I ever did, which sadly I had no way to save because it was on my grandma's mac (so not even Paint, but something close... KidPix I think). Instead I tried out some watercolor markers, with mixed results since it's been a while and my eyes are bad today

Day 6: Neko / Animal Features

Ren is from a dream I had forever ago and started out as a catgirl in a snowboarding outfit, but did parkour instead of snowboarding. They're a fox spirit now, along with their brother Plum, who ALSO started out as a catgirl from a DIFFERENT dream

Day 7: Pinterest Base

I don't have a Pinterest and trying to source/access anything from there is a huge pain, so instead I made up a drawing that I tried to make Look like it mighta used a base from Pinterest or dA from back in the day or whatever. Hehe. Character is Cirrus, who is my pilot OC that runs a waste management airship
