Offering Colored Sketch Commissions starting at $12 USD


I am now taking sketch commissions for characters of any species!  (My TLU-esque unicorn style is still available to commission for those of you who were interested in them, I'm just not limiting my sketches to them alone, anymore.)
  • I can do a wide range of creatures!  I draw real-life animals, mythical beasts, and game/site characters such as Pokemon and Flight-Rising dragons.
  • I will remain upfront and transparent with you on the entire process!  I would highly prefer that we speak on discord where I can easily contact you on the progress of your commission!  I'm a fretful artist who will double check with you at the least on the rough sketch, the lines, and the base coloring-- I don't like moving too far on ahead without the full approval of my commissioner.  If you'd rather keep this to dA notes/stash uploads and such I can def work with that, but communication (and therefore the speed of the artwork) will probably be slowed as a result.  As long as that's cool with you we can do that!
  • I... can do humans?  If you really really want me to.  It just may cost more due to the extra time that will be spent getting the sketch right + yelling at it until it does lmao
  • Accessories, items, and/or especially complex designs will cost extra.  I'm thinking that this extra charge will range from $1-6 USD depending on how much detail is required (I can give you a definitive cost as soon as we agree on the rough sketch.)
  • The cost of extra characters being added to the sketch will depend on how much of their body is visible.  For example, two plain unicorns side-by-side that don't obscure one another from view would be treated as two full sketches (so $24 USD), but if that second unicorn was cowering behind the first, much of its body would end up not being drawn and I'd just treat it as extra detail (so... probably no more than $3-6 bucks.)  If you want to include multiple characters, we'll be able to settle on the final cost of the image by the time I have finished-- and you have approved of-- the rough sketch.
  • I try to keep the images at around 2000x2000px, give or take.
  • I aim for a loose watercolor-ish feel with these sketches (all of the example images' colors are around mid 80% opacity) but if you would like me to work with 100% opacity in the colors just let me know!  However this will require cleaner colorblocking on the base/shading so there will probably be a slight extra charge to account for that added time.
  • Once you have approved of the linework done over the rough sketch, I will need to have the agreed cost sent to my Paypal before I move on with coloring.  Please mark your payment down for goods/services insurance.  Gift money is nice and all, but that wouldn't be honest (or legal!)
  • I can make minor changes after the fact.
  • You can do anything with said sketch once it's done!  Go over it with your own lines, add extra stuff, whatever.  It's yours.

I am now also offering Colored Base Commissions starting at $10 USD!


That's right guys now I'm taking coloring commissions for this unicorn base, which I'd previously created for some adoptable designs!  The original base/lines are 1830 px wide and 1690 px high.
Unicorn Adopt Base Example by TheAlyshianArchives
The base price for this is $10 USD.  From here we can either go lower or higher in price-- lower if your character is an especially basic b!tch cause it wouldn't feel fair to charge you that much for some plain albino character, or higher if the coat is an especially complex design, or you want added features such as scales.  My only rule for this one is that additions to the character cannot 'extend' outside of the base 'silhouette' (I don't exactly remember what brushes I used to get those lines to look the way they are now, and alterations to it likely wouldn't look organic.)  I can make changes that subtract from the original lineart, though.  Like say, the horn is broken off, they have no tail, damaged eye, are missing a chunk of their leg (which can be done depending on which leg we're talking about) etc.

Unlike the sketch commission, payments for these will need to be upfront once we agree on a price before I can get started on coloring.  And once again, please mark your payment as a good/service!




Commission List

These slots are currently unlimited until I see a need to slow things down.  As it is you guys have been pretty chill/slow-going with ordering these so for now I'm not too worried.  If that changes, the journal will be updated to notify my watchers <3
Sorry y'all looks like the love was a little too much for me to handle after all LMAO but they'll be open again in time!

Hi I've been quiet for some time and I'm sorry about that!  I'm still around keeping up with the people I watch and my friends on here, and I still frequent the site so if you want to contact me for any reason noting me on dA still works (though I'm equally as lurk-active on discord too!)  I have been doing some art on the side, I just... have been rotten at remembering to upload any of that here.  School and work are also taking up time as usual plus trying to work on personal projects.  I feel bad for having become so inactive with all my rp groups too and do hope that my muse/enthusiasm for participating in that kind of stuff comes back at some point.  In the meantime I guess you could say I'm on a hiatus and I am also sorry that I didn't make that official sooner P:  I'm sure I'll get out of this funk in time.

But getting to why I wanted to make a journal in the first place:  I kind of just wanted to remind the people I know to take care of themselves.  I've been seeing more alerts for people (mostly young women) going missing in my state as well as neighboring states.  I hate seeing things like this; and after what happened to my cousin a few years back, I've tried to be more aware of my surroundings and practice caution. 

However there was an incident I experienced last week that I've tried to forget, but can't... really.  It's been weighing on my mind and even though nothing serious happened and I might have just been reading too much into things, the need to talk about it hasn't gone away.  So I'm going to assume that that's for good reason.  Maybe this will be useful to some of you, idk

Anyway, before this happened I most often did my grocery shopping at night after work.  I'd never worried too much about doing that because I live in a relatively safe area with very little incidents, but on this particular night I realized that a dark greenish car that had been driving behind me was turning into the plaza after mine.  This is fairly normal, I'm not the only person who does their shopping at night, but what made me on edge was the way the car behaved.  It was... slow, and pressed on the brakes at least a couple of times to keep itself from getting too close to mine.  It felt like it was trying to give me a lot of space, to the point where it felt more gratuitous than the average polite driver.  I tried to brush it off and continued into my store's parking lot.

It's a superstore so the parking lot is pretty huge.  I drove around until I found a park close to the entrance and saw the car that had been behind me finding a park on the farther end.  Except once I parked, it suddenly started up again and drove across the lot, into the same parking row as me.

I... really didn't like that, so I stayed in the car with my doors locked and waited for the other driver to go into the store first.  He was a heavyset man who didn't look my way once, and as soon as I went inside and saw him already purchasing an item, I wondered if maybe I'd been too paranoid.  Maybe he'd forgotten that this was the best spot to park for him to make a quick stop?

It was only the one item and he immediately went into self checkout.  I, however, had a big list so I was in the store for a while.

When I did finally check out, I asked the cashier if someone would be able to walk me to my car and keep me company as I loaded my bags into it-- so they paged one of the workers to meet me out there.

I stepped outside, saw the employee waving to me in the parking lot, and then I saw a dark green car-- now in a closer spot to mine-- pull out and drive off.

And... I dunno.  I really could have been overthinking all of this.  There's more than one green car out in the world and this could have just been a series of weird and quirky actions piling up to paint a worse picture than what was actually going on, but who the f-ck knows???  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In any case.  I'd like to just reiterate how important it is to remain aware of your surroundings and to make safe choices!  As I stated before, I get off work late at night.  However a coworker there walks me to my car every night and has done so for the past year.  As soon as I felt unsafe at the grocery store, I asked for someone to do the same thing, and if I ever need to go at night again I'll be sure to make the same request.

And if you can, I'd like to ask that of you all as well.  If you can help it, try to avoid running errands at night, especially in places without much people around.  If you must, park near the entrance for a quick entry/exit.  Don't be afraid to ask people to walk you out, and if the employees seem grouchy about it (the ones I dealt with were nice but y'know), don't let that stop you from asking.  You don't need a smile, just an extra pair of eyes.

And you feel like something's funny about a situation, don't feel bad about being cautious!  Better safe than sorry and all that.

I don't have a proper way to end this so uh

Hope everyone's having a good fall?
