i tried my best also they are all video games that was unintentional. the mind of a gamer

[ruthlesslistener]

do you have any headcanons for anything you've been holding onto, but haven't had a good chance to post about? I love your fics and I wanna peer into your mind palace

Shhdhchs EXCELLENT bc ive had a lot of thoughts but this quarter + anxiety in general has been killin me

-Okay so I'm still hyperfixated on Destiny 2 bc of a DnDestiny game I'm in, but since Hollow Knight is a special interest and I read a couple of frankly stunning crossover fics (one with the Inheritance Cycle, one with Transformers, both are outstanding and I will recc them wholeheartedly if you ask- the TF one especially blew my tits clean off which is saying something bc I have zero TF knowledge, also its 500k words but I'm rambling), my brain has been essentially locked into the concept of a crossover AU where a couple of my D2 OCs get slingshot into the HK world via a fucked-up warpgate through wish-dragon magic, and it's now got me kind of obsessed with the idea of the world of Hollow Knight taking place on an alien planet that had some convergent evolution re: general insect body plans, but went off the fuckin' rails with everything else. So here's some worldbuilding thoughts on that:

-Their planet would be far from Earth and the origin place of the Ahamkara and precursor race to the Worm Gods, who are distant relatives to each other that took to the stars to opportunistically feed off of rifts in reality. They are in turn sister taxa to the Wyrms and Higher Beings from Hollow Knight, who also feed off of the wants, desires, and gulf between what-is-desired-and-what-is-true, but unlike the worms and wish-dragons, the Higher Beings are essentially 'settled' species. They're the farming civilization to the hunter-gatherers of their Destiny-based kindred, and yes, both branches of the family tree fucking despise each other and look down scornfully on the other's lifestyle. The Higher Beings view the Worms and Ahamkara as little more than scavengers, while the Worms and Ahamkara see the Higher Beings as glorified slavedrivers with sticks up their asses- though it should be noted that since the Ahamkara's whole deal so far has been malignant trickery as a hunting style, this doesn't neccessarily carry the same negative connotations that it would in our society. I also don't know enough about the proto-Worms to say how their race would react, but the Worm Gods as they are now certainly are something that Wyrms would look down on

-(Yes that means I have thought extensively about the Pale King's ghost bristling aggressively at a baby ahamkara barely a few hours old. In my defense, it's funny, and also I almost never remember to write him as the cold, prickly, arrogant ass that he is bc his kids make him Big Sad)

-The planet would likely be smaller than Earth with lighter gravity, though how much smaller I can't say because I'm not a fuckin' physicist. I just want an excuse for making fuckoff-huge animals a thing even beyond the inherent space magic thing going on

-Oh, and most life is underground because the atmosphere is thinner than Earth and so the upper surface gets bombarded with deadly amounts of radiation, which causes the mind-wiping effects of the Wastes (where the angle towards their sun is the greatest and thus the strongest). Ngl I did briefly think about potential magnetic field fluxes also being the cause of that effect but like, I cannot overstate how little I know of things outside biology

-HK being set on an alien planet lets me do wack shit with the species there too bc I'm no longer bound by comparing them to Earthbound species. For example, I can make Quirrel an isopod with cricket legs. Who's going to stop me, God? He doesn't exist here

-That also means I can stop being bothered by Herrah's dubious leg placement bc it would kill me forever otherwise

-Also, them being on an alien planet gives me even more of an excuse to never put traditional vertebrate species in there, which is great. I've said it before, but putting Earth vertebrates in the HK setting totally ruins all the fun for me because I love the concept of all the species diversity being made up of invertebrates, and that the 'advanced' bugs we see have filled the niche that vertebrates would have otherwise taken over. Like the carboniferous period but on steroids

General HK thoughts too:

-been toying with the idea of wyrms having a set of evertable inner jaws like polychaete worms, which would be used for keeping dirt out of the mouth and biting off chunks to eat, while the outer jaws (the ones we see) are used for killing, digging, and sparring with other wyrms. The idea is that the outer ring of mandibles bites big circular chunks out of the substrate, which then breaks off into tiny pieces they filter out in between gaps in their mandibles and pack down into tunnel walls as they move forward

-I've also been toying with the idea of them secreting some kind of mucus as they dig that's almost a calcifying substance, but now that I think about it, I can probs just put those glands in their frontal mouth so if they need to reinforce a tunnel (like, say, one burrowed in sand instead of rock), they can mix their saliva in with the substrate to chemically solidify the tunnel walls

-Which btw is a major thing for ecosystems bc the tunnels are used for lots of different things by lots of different species. Wyrms are terraformers baybee!! Kinda the same way wildfires are, but still

-I've also been thinking about maybe making it so that the row of plates I like to draw on their backs act as a secondary pair of belly scutes, which means that wyrms can slither just as easily upside down as they can on their undersides, which helps underground. It's not as efficient as the super-smooth scales on a blind snake, but that's the tradeoff they get for needing to be so heavily armoured

-I'm also leaning towards making marine/freshwater variants that are just straight-up bobbit worms on even more steroids, but since I already have fuckoff huge marine alien bobbit worms in a scifi setting of mine, I'd need to figure out a way to make them unique

-I learned that there's internalized folds of exoskeleton for muscle attatchment in my invertebrate biology course and got really excited about that being a potential basis for the formation of skeletal elements in the world of Hollow Knight- like, maybe bug bones started off as those lil folds (i forgot their technical name which is embaressing bc i literally just took the final this night) becoming stronger and deeper-set into the body to better support the weight of larger and larger bugs, and then it spiraled into a skeleton analogue from there. Being derived from the exoskeleton probably means that it would be less strong than our bones, but it would likely also be lighter

Misc:

-God I really need to write Hornet in Silksong so bad. Fuck. I need need need to write this mildly autistic unsocialized princess running amok in a civilization that isn't ready for her. Also my interpretation of Lace is basically an oc at this point but I don't want to do anything with her just yet bc that shits a lot of work, I just need to write everything down for her so far (and tbh Lurien probs also counts at this point but thats more filling a niche that TC left unfufilled)

-I've also got gijinka thoughts in that I'm leaning towards making Lurien a trans guy who didn't have any gender-affirming surgeries bc a.) I love love love making a variety of trans characters and b.) Hallownest isn't a society where the concept of being transgender is an issue, so there's no need to do it to pass, only to prioritize your own comfort. And since Lurien never expected to be seen in anything but his formalware, he never saw the point of bothering

-(The aformentioned point also applies to normal bug Lurien but this is more of a personal thing here)

-Need to focus more on how the latent magic of the god of a realm changes your eye colour, with the more intense the shade = the more involved you are with their magic. Using Lurien as an example again: his eyes were brown naturally, but after he became Watcher, they slowly shifted to shades of paler and paler blue. I also like the idea of Quirrel's eyes getting more blue the more memories of Hallownest he unlocks, until they're the same shade as the Blue Lake in his final scene

-This can also happen in reverse; for example, my Lace gijinka starts off with gold eyes to signify the church of Pharloom's hold over her, but then slowly revert back to brown as Hornet gives her more and more hope that the institution can be toppled, until they're eventually their natural deep brown with just the faintest flecks of silver in them (signifying Hornet's importance in her life)

-It just occurred to me the other day when I was at work that Striga and Morgana from Castlevania S3 are almost exactly how I imagined my Vespa and Herrah gijinkas to be and now I can't stop thinking about it. The main difference is that my Herrah is a fat spider-orc with tats and Vespa is a fae queen with bee features shimmering through her human veil, but still. Its uncanny

re: your tags SHOW ME JEROME PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE booflies are my favorite non-boss enemy in the entire game i love them so so much. I'm making a cowboy bug oc that's a boofly wrangler soon. I must gaze upon this boofly oc.

You're in luck, for I have not one, but TWO boofly OCs! Pictured here with some of my other characters too. Zip is the smaller purple one, and Jerome is the large one with the scarf.

First up is Jerome, most beloved. One of my oldest HK OCs and best friends with Cyra the wasp who will stab and kill anyone who tries to harm her buddy. Jerome is a soothing presence, slow to intense emotion and very thoughtful. He's a little odd for a boofly because he's as much a person as any bipedal bug, but without the means to communicate with those bugs, he is not often recognized as such. With Cyra's help, he developed a special form of communication that's a mixture of body language (limb gestures, wing positions, tail angle, head tilt) and sounds (humming, rumbling, tapping, thumping) so that he could communicate with her, and she could translate to other bugs. A way to make new friends!! He loves friends!! He will convert Cyra to the way of friends eventually, too, but he has to be patient and persistent, which he's good at.

[more about how cyra and jerome met and bonded can be found in this post]

And now onto Zip! He is such a weird boofly! He's very energetic and speedy! ...well, speedy for a boofly. He won't win any races against a dragonfly, but that's alright. Once he gains some momentum, he becomes rather like an errant rubber ball, bouncing off rocks and walls and other bugs if he can't stop or turn in time. He's fine, though! It's all play for him. Fearless to the point of ignorant endangerment, he will go where no boofly has gone before! And probably get stuck, because it's hard to explore small cracks as a big, round bug. He sometimes needs help getting free, something Jerome recruits Cyra to help with. That won't stop him from trying to explore the next small crack, though!

Jerome keeps an eye on Zip. He can't keep up with the bundle of energy, but at least he tries. Cyra doesn't like Zip, but she tolerates him for Jerome's sake.

Oh, and as a bonus. Back when Jerome and Cyra were two of my only HK OCs, I liked to put them in angsty situations. Here's a quick comic I did a few years ago where Jerome gets infected. Enjoy :,)

Also thank you for the ask! I haven't gotten to talk about Jerome in a while. He hasn't gotten much development since whenever the previous time was, but he doesn't really need it. He exists to be a stable character.

OC dump in chronological order!

character info: "Cutout" is an AI computer virus that deletes code from other programs, and is in a gang of other computer viruses. to keep her from manipulating things beyond destroying them, she has no arms, however her tail is prehensile.

her home setting is "The Central Network" by EncrypredOS, basically Osmosis Jones with computers.

first ever drawing of "Cutout" not the best quality but I got the motion and character to come off pretty well.

A messy doodle of her before she lost her arms. the proportions are not accurate to the character I was going for, but I fixed the tail knife to a better shape.

in this version, the anatomy is getting clearer. she's more humanoid that the original but not as much as the second. I know now I want to give her humanoid shoulders to emphasize that she used to have arms.

this isn't 100% my art. the Original was made by EcryptedOS on Deviantart. I specifically wanted Cutout to be part of Noverg's gang (the big four-armed fiery guy). the marks on her hip are brands the higher members of the gang have.

an Icon I made of her. I originally planned to use it as my avatar on DA, but it appeared too small to adequately see the details.

I made a GIF of her dancing around with another OC, but tumblr can't fit it.

I made a conceptual version of her in the style of "Hollow Knight". I liked her character so much I wanted to make alternate versions of her. I knew the rules for making any version of her where that she at least shouldn't have arms, and some alternative way of moving things.

and here's the HK version completed! I decided the way she lost her arms in this version was to the infection (HK lore sorry if you don't know it)

this one was just fun messing around with the Firealpaca watercolor brush.

this is a contest prize/fanart by @tubesann on Deviantart. there are design features I liked, but some that didn't work well for the character, which inspired me to re-redesign her!

for starters, the yellow scars looked cool, but they light gray was already her natural scar color. but it was really cool, so I thought I'd make her "bleed" yellow pixels. I also added a yellow gradient to her spikes

she's very sensitive of her scars, so she usually covers them. so while I did include the lovely neck scar, I gave her a band to cover it. she wears the gray covers to make the brands she has to display more ambiguous.

that's pretty much all

+ here's a version of her without the yellow gradient, closer to the original. I like how it's less cluttered, so for now I'll just say they change color.

her body shape is much clearer now! human shoulders but a gray-hound esque chest.

and on the note of making different versions of her, I made this Picew a while ago to get the feel for a human version (color corrected to fit her better)

wow! bugs!

i don’t know how i wound up with ten... i’ll probably end up with more later. anywho i won’t be getting into it too heavily since this is unprompted buut here we go. [letter] classifications determine whether or not they are traveling together with any listed bug/s. i worked backwards and got tired again so . 

[A] obligatory vessel | mess (they/it) initially a klutz, now a decent kiddo.

hello meet their found family. where they’d deliberately lost one of their horns as they were originally a vessel that would never have made it anyways because overthinking-anxiety-pressure and managed to escape... sometime somewhere. met oss first, then uff/claws who were traveling together. now more confident and has several things to signify their growth like a horn (crafted by the other three, moss/bandages/some random tooth(?) they found around or won from a hunt). insists on contact when allowed.

[A] moth | uff (they/them) one of those energetic sorts! you’d think them a bee almost but. no

goes around trying to remember those that can’t be buried (as in, wanting to know another bug as best as they can whether or not that means trying to see their limits in an annoying fashion... generally wanting reactions. even something like refusing to divulge information is notable to them). also just vibing, really! used to wield four nails for defense, lost one fighting oss (long story not really), the other worn down to time. the other two are holstered behind their back! they’re short-nails, kind of like daggers. lantern always hooked on person. rarely in flight, uses scales as part of their respect ritual sometimes.

[A] mosskin | oss or boss (he/him) reanimated by lifeblood. tired guy.

somehow became mess’s father figure, almost. romantic partners with uff. also (short story not really) had been affected by infection, not to the point of losing himself entirely as he did ask them to cut him down, but he was only rendered to a point of lethal unconsciousness where that moth proceeded to do the awkward thing that is “Maybe. If I can simply juste... givvem lifeblood...!” and never stuck around properly enough to see what happened. guy got a new arm out of brambles (thorns retractable) and now can use both nail and shield like some of his kin! still prefers nail ultimately though; it’s what he was used to. (not entirely certain why he’d been stunted before, missing a good bit of his right antennae and a whole left arm...)

[A] mantis warrior | claws (she/her) trying to better her skills, left the village after loss of a friend.

summary: tsundere. felt her friend had fallen due to her inadequacy and had set out to redeem herself in some fashion with lots of guilt on her shoulders (granted common warrior mantids don’t. have shoulders but--) with the intent of refining her skills or simply pitting herself against a traitor and calling it done but. eventually met uff (who named her; actually. uff named everyone in this group) who’d managed to persuade her to Not do that after engaging in a nice spar. that’s the bad gist of that. (her wings had been damaged even before they grew useless, though.)

[B] trapdoor spider | res or mend (she/her) wants to find the ideal sleep/comfort zone.

rend’s more expressive older sister. wanderer on the basis of finding new materials that would be great for sleeping or general wear. very insistent on that, as well as a general partner (not romantic necessarily) for cuddling because she’s taken to the name res from “rest” (and stressed) and oh man would resting be so nice. not normally in one place, often makes things to leave them there even without deconstructing it. has met the individuals listed in group [A]. (fun to see how long it takes for her to make mess settle down. sink into uff’s fluff or oss’s moss. what hammock will get claws to finally lie in.)

[B] trapdoor spider | rend (he/him) a tinkerer, almost.

mend’s more quiet younger brother; he’s the more responsible one. wandering more on wanting to know the taste of other things (albeit they all almost taste the same nowadays, infection and all). makes use of all materials when hunting things. double-ended scythe is fashioned from the claws of a traitor warrior and sinew/Somethings. encountered a lifeseed at one point and used it as bait for his hunts... but eventually grew a certain fondness towards it and would slowly use other substitutes. (he never gives it a name though. that’s when it’d be bad.)

-

the spider duo doesn’t normally travel together; they do their own thing, actually. but their paths always cross and they always enjoy catching up with each other (even if it ends up with rend being more stressed/exhausted to hear the dangers his sister put herself in. also see: different outfits for his tiny companion.)

[C] bedbug | bub (she/they) she, uh. she’s my sona. yeah. only because a friend wanted me to make one.

she exists, somehow, and is a wanderer that’s visiting more so out of curiosity to explore the ruins of hallownest. a very strange sightseeing journey really. tends to admire and doodle down environments often (and... other bugs, if not heavily bastardized). carries around vials of lifeblood and infection as they fascinate her and also suffice as paint/snacks when necessary as it isn’t often she hunts for herself. (thus normally more flat than full, for a bedbug.) yeah good luck trying to stop her for conversation she’s already running away buddy

[D] soul warrior | ver (he/they) unofficially assigned sati’s escort. not the most talkative sort.

it would be a bit awkward to leave fellow scholars alone in their pursuit of research, so... he tagged along sati (with others, of course; they’re not quite sure where their fellow brothers and sisters of the sanctum went though. half lie. he had to fell some of them as they turned infected to a point where attempts to reason would be in vain). easily confused and intrigued. though with own ideas, tends to keep them to self even when encouraged and prefers to speak through nail.

...a citizen (friend) once gave him a tattered ribbon as thanks, and he still has that twisted around the handle of his pin-nail.

[D] soul twister | sati (they/them) accidentally meditated for a bit too long in an area where they began to be, uh. crystallized.

they’d heard that crystals made it easier to focus, once. fantastic. their group was meant to inspect and experiment. didn’t go so hot, of course, but it made the bond between ver and sati far stronger as a result. they usually speak their thoughts aloud without expecting much in reply (though they are always happy to entertain discussions) and is a bit inquisitive. also skeptical.

with regard to spells and abilities, they’ve taken a more... laser-y, variant. where if they channeled soul or a bit of their will, they can fire some out of either their eye or palms. there’s a bit more but. i am lazy so i am moving on.

-

the timeline of them departing from the sanctum was before the experiments carried out to any drastic extent (and they only learned of what happened quite... later, much later, when they found things and simply just. didn’t.)

anywho; they are together but neither of them are open about it, not because they’re ashamed or anything as they’ll say so if someone asks, but it’s just. not in their personal languages to do that. that’s why if you squint, the name they have when paired together is veritas where ”truth is mighty and will prevail” (or just simply truth in general).

the attached image has old/initial concepts but you get the point ^^

[E] snail shaman | fule (they/any) has a “kufufufu” laugh.

frequently seen at colosseum. just a friend, simply! they used to travel alongside a much tinier snail, but that one managed to make a mound somewhere so that was that (and sometimes they visit! y’know, as one does). at first they’d been drawn to all the amounts of soul, but then they found the whole concept of “fool” and “glory” amusing enough to serve as a different reason for staying. well. that, and practicing spells.

they’re a pretty capable shaman and sacrifices power most of the times in order to increase spell-casting speed. any damage they sustain they can usually heal off afterwards (though hey, there’s a spring, but even that makes them unfathomably sleepy). their variation of a shield is more of a ward/to deter others from running through it. when all things are said and done though, they did fashion their staff to be applicable as a spear, so... fun times ahead. their former name may have been pira (from spiral). they just. picked up the name “fule” because it sounded close enough to “fool.”

personality-wise, they take amusement in lots of things. it’s a mystery as to what they’re actually like ‘cause. who knows. not me! all armor-pieces are detachable, and the visor is retractable. shell took its traits the longer they’d stayed.

thaat’s it. i’m not going to proof, ‘cause it’d be easier for me to just do that in a document if i ever decided to expand on them properly. you can ask me about them if you want but i’d immediately implode so LOL thanks for reading! <3

Got a crazy Hollow Knight OC idea

Ok so, after watching mask lore, I've got an idea for an OC. A moth who is violent, but conceals under a mask which hides their more violent and dangerous self. So basically this moth craves violence, but wears a mask in order to repress it. So to break the mask, is to break the thing that keeping their dangerous side in check.

i need to like. actually make words go so i can pin down my “what even is a vessel, anyway” headcanon but the general gist of it is “the vessel & the shade are two halves of a whole” which gives me some delightfully interesting parallels i can play with in my AU sandbox

[greencharisard]

I promise I'm still working on that pokemon project, but it's a pokemon-trainer set of 6 of a 'mon that's very detailed so it's taking a lot of time, and I ended up artblocked.

The first pick was the first thing I did after almost a week of not drawing, what happened is roughly this:

- Was still working on-and-off on the pokemon pic set, and a new TLK one.

- Re-downloaded Steam for some reason I can't remember.

- Found out Spore is in there with all three packs  and on sale (base game+creepy & cute+ galactic adventures)

- caved and bought it cuz it's been years and I wanted the third pack and a convinient way to access it that wasn't a 10+ y/o disc/code I've used a million times on 5 or 6 PCs.

- Played it for 3 days or so, including a day were I completely messed up my PC by tampering with the core folders (went back to normal now THANK GOD) and played switch games for that day.

- Spent another half day after fixing my PC making an EA account to have a proper acc on Spore itself (had to go forum digging, it's a mess). Then played Spore more.

- In all of this watched one HK meme video and stated getting a bajillion of them in my YT recommendeds.

- Played a bunch of switch games for a day trying to stay away from Spore and start drawing (failed).

- Decided to start playing HK again at piss off o'clock in the evening. Still couldn't get past Hornet in Greenpath.

- Next morning finally beat boss 2 and open up a MASSIVE CHUNK OF THE GAME.

- spend the next 2 or so days playing that, including most of today.

So yeah, I fried my brain, in an attempt at grudging trough the art block I tried making an OC, then also tried making self-inserts because Hollow Knight has been my lifesource for the past few week or so, while Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss have been one of my latest obsessions for months, so it only felt fitting to morph my crittersona to fit in those universes.

- First I wanted to draw him as an imp, technically I already drew him as a demon/sinner, so a creature native to hell seemed like the next best AU choice. I didn't think much about what he would do, I just focused on the design part itself, and even then as you can see I had quite a few ideas I tried out on the side. One of the main reasons that made me think he'd fit as an imp is that in an earlier design he had that I never posted the tip of his tail was arrow shaped instead of being just a tuft like now (I should draw that impish form again sometime, he was basically like now but not a noodle). For the clothes I kinda used stuff I own irl as inspo, while thinking "what would fit the HH/HB style?" so I used a sleeveless hoodie, a black shirt (I have a lot of those, I just made one with a generic skull pattern here), and the only pair of jeans I own that I can actually stand to wear... escept by the time I remembered I wanted to draw those I had already drawn cargo pants on him out of habit, so I just colored them like jeans instead... I would probably love pants like these lmao. Oh and chains linked to the belt loops, I actually have those too, they're made form crafstore legit normal chains, not ones made to be actually worn like this. Listen I got them in high school I was an edgy basard and I didn't know where to get stuff like that so I just asked dad to get some like this instead ok. I have a pair of normal steel and a pair of black ones, here he's wearing the latter.

- The other idea was to turn him into a HK bug, more specifically, a mosskin tribe member from greenpath, cuz it's my favorite stage of the game with how pretty it is (listen the artwork of that game is goreous ok). He would probably be a bit of a loner/outcast, always hiding with his leaf/bush cape; the lighter fuzz is part of his body. I imagine he'd be a side character you have to go out of your way to meet and interact with, and depending on how you do so his outcome in the story may vary: one option is that he just stays like normal if you befriend him, the second is he succumbs to the infaction and he ends up being a secret boss an you have to kill him, a third however is maybe he does get infected, but if you do some sort of side quest before defeating him you can cure/save him still(?) Idk. His boss/infected form is partially inspired by aspids (because they're some of the most annoying enemies and I think that fits him/me well enough :') ), he probably attacks from a distance with a combo of spitting at you directly from the ceiling and throwing bubbles of infection around the stage by swinging his tail; maybe even releasing bursts of orange gas like some other enemies when you hit him (in later pahses). And yes, the name is a pun; I noticed the characters in this game either have descriptive names/adjectives, or normal names so I went with a combo of the two.

art and characters by me, do not copy, trace, repost, reuse ecc without my permission please.

drew regret from memory because I wanna bring em back, idk how tho considering I’m apart of no hk community anymore but I kinda wanna re-do them but correctly this time

Should I keep Regret a HK oc or change them? Should I make them a blog (not rp- maybe like an ask blog)

I miss thEY

[fire-bay]

Hey look a re draw!!

(I swear I am working on that hk oc ask blog)

[thethrillof]

it’s petty, but man. i’ve been unlucky enough to be tripping over fics that feel great until the end, lately.

re fic that says it’s going to go for a “scientific explanation” for a time travel fic, only for this explanation to turn out to be All Just A (drug/hypnotism-induced) Dream. a hk fic that looks like it’s building up something important w/ grimmchild and ghost becoming gods only for it to end pretty much unchanged w/ godhome delicate flower ending, just that grimmchild is there w/ the flower. ff7 fic that gives us a child sorta-oc at the beginning, spends ages getting everyone attached, and then ends up with the kid erasing himself via a method that is never implied to do anything like that in canon.

usually if a fic isn’t great, rather than a punch to the gut right at the finish line, it’s p clear by the halfway point at the furthest! that betrayed kinda feeling, to get invested in shit which seems like it’d know better that doesn’t and goes cheap.

If you want a breakdown of how I priced your request, I can provide it, but if you have no concerns with it I shall not.

You can make a request for minor changes after I finish, but nothing big.

My commissions are on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you make a request after all slots are filled (even if I haven’t updated the slots number), I will inform you that I’ve reached my maximum, and you must make the request once commissions are open again. That is to say, I won’t hold a spot.

I will draw most things, including humans, animals, dragons, fantasy creatures, mecha, fan characters, etc. All that matters is complexity.

I will NOT draw most gore (blood is ok), NSFW, fetishes, or offensive content.
