Well it was about time for some new commission info! It’s not quite 2017 but I wanna start the new year out right, so this is what I came up with. Everything is ultimately negotiable, and there are often times commissions that don’t quite fit the standard fair there - please don’t be afraid to ask me questions! And I’m happy to work with you, payment wise. The only reason I ask it’s paid up front is due to some past commissioners stiffing me, so it’s just easier to make it a rule. But if you can’t pay it all at the start, that’s fine! We’ll work it out! ♥ And hell, even if it’s on the “will not” list, it’s still worth asking because we may define those things very differently. 

Thanks for taking a look and every reblog helps more than you know!

Hey Guys!!

I just launched my patreon! I don’t have a lot going up there at the moment but I’m really hoping it’ll become so so much more with your support! I know times are hard for just about everyone, but even if you only have a dollar you could spare a month it would make a difference for me! I’ve been unemployed for a couple of months now, and having just a generally rough time dealing with medical stuff. I’m pretty much down to my last $10, and while I am fortunate enough to have parents who put a roof over my head, there is not much else they can afford to give me beyond general shelter. So food, gas, and my bills, I’m kind of uh… floating dead in the water.

Commissions have supported me for the most part, and those will continue to be open (though I’ll be revamping my commission page soon), but I thought this would be an interesting new opportunity and I see no reason to not take the dive.

I understand if you can not give, but please, a reblog might get me the help I need. ♥

I’ll still be posting art here, but I hope to make some worthwhile rewards for my patrons. Thanks so much for reading, and y’all keep on keepin on. Times are crappy, but we’ll all get through this I think.

Artist: Nami  

Commissioned by: Tabby

Art Gift For: CC, Marc & Linfan

Marc (River/Chrom) and Linfan (Alina/Lon’qu). @electriksunshine​, I care so much about you and I miss hanging out with you, and goofing around with you! I hope only good things come your way in real life. This is art of our ‘’Morgan(s)’’!  The Henry/River version is because… CC is evil and does not assist my shipping struggles.
