one of my friends told me i should start doing commissions but 1. i've never done them before and i'm insecure about my art and 2. idk how i'd price myself. idk i'm considering it but i'll wait and see where my art takes me im so clueless when it comes to this kind of stuff 😭
thought i should give back to the kokonui nation today cause it’s my birthday lol a couple of ppl in tiktok asked for a koko exhibition art to match the one i made for inupi so thought i might share it here as well ! (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)♡ also it looks like kokonui are fighting each other in the anime rn but not in my art they won’t so i put them side by side 😤 (wasn’t able to do this one in my own style; i’ll save it for another day)
details: still based off shinichiro’s exhibition art bc he’s the only one from black dragons w an official exhibition art. also tried to mirror the one i made for inui as much as possible. the patterns in his outfit resemble mining areas bc his surname kokonoi means ‘nine’ (九) (kokono) and ‘well, mine shaft, pit’ (井) (i). koko loves swimming thus the presence of waves and daisy is his birth flower. he loves fortune telling thus the astrology themes in his lower garments (his and inupi’s astrological signs (aries and libra) are there along w the black dragons logo (。•̀ᴗ-)✧). koko has no official image color so the color palette is from his previous exhibition art but red works just fine bc akane means ‘red, crimson’ (赤) (aka) and since ‘ne’ means ‘sound, noise’ (音), you’ll find a couple of music notes among the heavenly bodies (and speaking of heaven, it’s what inui (乾) means (˘ ˘ ˘)). can’t help but feel koko emulates the line ‘end in burning flames or paradise’ from taylor swift’s style (tv) lmao
• 5 slots available at a time! I'll reblog this post with an addition announcing when they're all filled up and they will re-open once all current commissions have been completed and delivered!
• payment is taken through PayPal (or, if you happen to have it, Revolut!) Payments are ideally in UK sterling but it shouldn't be an issue if not
• you can contact me via DMs here on tumblr or at [email protected]! This is also how I'll provide updates throughout the commission process
• Commissions are not fandom exclusive! I will happily draw for fandoms I'm not a part of along with OCs :D
Valeria and Gaz with a fashion designer s/o! Dressing them up and using them as a practice model to test new designs... this has nothing to do with my need to put Valeria in a suit, ofc not
Anon, you're so galaxy brained for wanting to put Valeria in a suit in all honesty! She'd look so good in one because women always look good in suits!
Gaz and Valeria with a Fashion-Designer!S/O
Gaz: He’d honestly be so flattered you wanna use him as a practice model. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a very pretty man and he’s well aware of that fact, but he didn’t think he’d ever get that sort of privilege. The first time you measure him he’s a bit confused, but complies, asking you with a chuckle about what you’re doing. However, as soon as you present him with a jaw dropping suit that leaves every other one in the dust, he’s a big fan. While he may have supported you from the very beginning as soon as he heard that you’re a designer, his support skyrockets as soon as you present him with the first piece of clothing for him to wear. He feels so very fancy wearing it. He may be used to wearing fancy clothing from time to time when invited to certain occasions, such as weddings, but he never really paid much mind to that sort of thing. Once you’ve put the first article of clothing on him, he’ll ask you if you wanna use him as a practice model again at some point. Only if you feel like it, of course. He hopes you’ll say yes, he loves how creative you are and the things you create. You’re a lovely designer who puts their heart and soul into it all, and it shows. Although unprompted and despite it being a bit silly, he’ll also pose and do that one walk models do where they sway their hips. He feels pretty in your clothing. If he can afford it, which he likely can, then he’ll even buy some of the things you’ve made. And yes, he will 100% wear them as well, doesn’t matter if it’s a fish tail or if it’s a shirt with a dragon on it. He unironically loves it and will wear it whenever he can.
Valeria: She chuckles a bit when you ask her to put on some clothing you made. Valeria is a very attractive woman, and she knows it, so she’s not at all surprised when you ask her to put on a suit. She’s worn those before, and every time she has she was turning heads left and right. If you blush while seeing her in a suit then she’ll chuckle and trap you against the wall before letting you continue whatever it was you were doing. Like Gaz she wholeheartedly supports you, and she’ll own every single article of clothing you’ve ever created. While she may not have the time to wear them all every time, you will catch her wearing your creations from time to time, if there’s no danger of them tearing. Valeria’s glad that you trust her enough to want her to try on all your prototypes and will gladly pose like a professional model for you and you only. The first time you measure her she, too, would be a bit confused and would ask you regarding what you’re doing, but afterwards she’s more than happy to model for you whenever she can. She doesn’t have a whole lot of time for that, but the things you do for love. If you ever want a real, professional model, she can arrange one, though, it’s no problem for someone like her. Besides, she has a pretty good eye for fashion as well, so she can give you some hints regarding what could look good and what might be a complete no go. You don’t have to do as she says, but she will point it out if you do. If she ever does find herself having the time and there’s a fashion show that shows some of your clothing, then she’ll watch it and jokingly tell you that she looked better in your clothes than all those models did. If you ever need some creative inspiration then I’m sure Valeria can help you as well, she’s seen plenty of things and is always more than happy to help you. Besides, she can get just about anything as well, so you really don’t need to fret if you wanna feel the fabric of something yourself.
Ok so i know that rn is tough for everybody (talk about an understatement), but my paycheck is really NOT keeping up with the unavoidable expenses that have been hitting me recently (house bills, car repair, vet bills etc......)
So i'm opening commissions for this dress up doll thing i've been doing!
More examples: here, here and here
Contact me here, on discord (Valgeristik there also) or email ([email protected]) if you're interested!
(also taking cheaper regular comms here)
I will be taking 3 slots for now :)
1. [open]
2. [open]
3. [open]
less than a month wait time for commission completion guaranteed 👍(ok might be month+a couple of weeks if its complex)
As well as a little video example of how it works + some other technical details under the cut:
Basically, the format of the final product is going to be a PSD file.
Each piece of clothing is going to be on it's own layer, with possibly several options or "overlay" layers that will make sure the pieces work separately as well as with each other. The amount of those will depend on the complexity of the outfit.
The base body can include tattoos (though, depending on complexity, i might charge extra for those), scars, body hair, prosthetics etc etc.
As for the body itself, the default will be a sort of ken doll situation, but a more realistic base could be possible upon request and with an additional charge.
Calling this a doodle since it only took like 1 hour and I speed ran it while sleep deprived at 2am absolutely blasting ano’s cover of god-ish
Anyways I don’t really draw this kinda stuff too often out of sheer personal preference but when I do it’s honestly kind of fire (+ it’s just fun to draw angsty stuff like that)
enjoy your food for the time being I’m going back into my hole
