Hello! I was wondering if you’d be willing to take commissions someday 👀. No pressure tho! I just love your art so much

The short answer: "not at the moment, but it is very possible in the future'!

The slightly longer answer: I would have to figure out a good pricing and payment system! PD-MDZS is also where most of my free time goes, so until my life settles down a bit, I would be on the slow side to complete them.

#Ask #Even longer answer: I technically do - but it's been people I know irl asking and handing me physical money/bank transfers. #I'm working on one right now but the tricky part with pricing is that they want the physical copy of it - which is different to online comm #Fun fact: I have gotten a fair amount of commissions from a local hobbiest quilting club. #They show me their pintrest inspiration board and tell me size specifications and I draw out patterns on parchment paper. #I am probably being undervalued by a group of 50-60 year old women but they call me handsome and say I'm doing a good job so... #There was also someone a while back who asked about a tattoo design and I was *so* enthusiastic but I just got too busy to commit. #I truly do appreciate people asking - It is *extremely* flattering that you like my art enough to want to commission something! #I will re-examine my situation in a few months! Someday really is the keyword here; I think I'd have a lot of fun with it! #(All the money would go back into buying more artbooks and supplies too! What a dream!) #Through this blog I've gotten to know a few people who do commissions for a living who I will probably pester for pricing advice #Time really is the only barrier for me right now B*(

#i am feeling very Ack lately because i have abt ten months left to pay off my stupid ass student debt #which is exciting! i'm ready to go back to school! #but i have noooo idea what i'm going back for and i feel like i need to start firming up a decision so i can kind of get my ducks on a row #but like. girl. it's HARD #i have approximately 5/8 of an elementary education degree #and in an ideal world i would just finish it and become a teacher. boom done. i love teaching i LOVE it!!! i really do!!! #and i'm fucking good at it!!! #but we do not live in an ideal world. lol. i love being a teacher in theory but the reality of becoming a teacher in america #at this current moment. #where im essentially putting myself in the middle of a culture war where i am being casted as a criminal for Being Visibly GNC in front of #people's children. is not really ideal!!!! #and nkt to mention the gun violence and the fact that increasingly parents think they know better than teachers what should b taught and #TERRIBLLE pay a d tons of extra work w no administrative support #it just sounds. nkt great. to be honest. #but like.. what else do i do. i like the idea of mass comm w a production focus but i worry that i'll get disillusioned or dislike it once #it's what i Do... #and i could go back for the science-y stuff i wanted to do as a teenager and that sounds awesome but also #i think i am too dumb. lol. and i would be starting completely from scratch because all my science credits are like #Biology For People Who Just Need A Credit. yknow #and starting over wouldn't be the worst thing in the long run but it's so fucking daunting #i've already dropped out twice 😝🫶 i kinda just wanna finish it all in one fell swoop yknow #ANYWAYYYY. i have time i have so much time actually [shaking and crying and throwing up]

Finally took the time and effort to download cunk on earth and it didnt dissapoint lol. too bad it was only 5 episodes. Been thinking the entire day what else should i download to watch, but got overwhelmed by the thought of there being so many fucking shows. So i'm rewatching one of Sips_'s skyrim playthrough for propably the 5th time instead. (While i'm splitting threads for a massive crosstitch bc the hands gotta be busy.)

#I'd really need someone to sit me down to watch whatever with them i am so teerible at it by myself #I find myself lacking inspiration a little... #I think I had too high expectations opening comms thinking I'd get something to work on right away #so i'm kinda struggling to do any of my own projects atm #i'm also wondering if the google forms thing is too complicated or if my prices are too high #but i've seen so many use forms that i thought it would be an easy method of contacting #and prices are what the are - utilities and groceries are so fucking expensive now #i dunno i've just entered the spiral of doubts so quickly i need to chill out. #sorry for random tags rant lmao i had to get that out i guess #i just want to worrrrrk my brain is so wired for it atm #shut up yoi

My beautiful boyfriend helped me redesign Cuija with cooler hair and I finally indulged in making him Really Fucking Big. To be specific, he's 255 cm long and can snap wrought iron with his hands.

He also chewed his way out of the egg like a week before his siblings because he got bored in there, which kind of sets the stage for the rest of his life, to be honest

#my art #cuija onfroy #my ocs #to be absolutely clear for anyone who's commissioned me I AM STILL WORKING ON COMMS i promise XD #and making good headway too! #its just i also have scheduled free time so i dont lose my mind #as one does #i like him he's big and he lives in a gutted shipwreck with his pet axolotl named cuiji #and he throws a harpoon

I should just sit down and get some of my commissions out the way this morning so I don't rapidly contract in on myself and implode anticlimatically before my copy of scarlet delivers

#hello its 8am i am up because my house doesn't have a safe place for parcels and if i miss the delivery and they take it back to the depot #i think i will lose it just a little bit #it is very cold now but im still not turning the heating on i don't want to pay for that shit. thinking abt investing in a heating pad #but that's smth to save up for so i don't burn the house down with a shit one #idk whether i will get much done of comms but i will try. tired as hell and ive been artblock ish lately #im working on it but it's smth i need to slowly coax my way out of by just chipping away at it i think #i have a bunch of comms *started* i just paused on all of them halfway thru the lineart for some reason. like 3 of them #so i need to just force myself to sit down and finish some of those #also trade. i have one old trade that's been on the backburner too long im sorRY i still haven't forgotten #gwuh this is a hell of a post but my meds haven't kicked in yet dbfSD im used to just going back to sleep after until they do but not today

if i uh. if i were considering writing commissions. would anyone be interested in that

#i am a biiit concerned about money so im just wondering now if this is feasible and i should look into it or not #cuz i have no idea how they work like. how theyre priced or whatever. and i guess i wanna know if anyone would genuinely wanna buy one #before i do research into actually doing them to figure out pricing #says words #if ppl would not seriously consider buying em i dont want to waste my time on getting that info together so. very loose interest check ig #if not writing comms i think editing comms could be fun tho idk if thats a thing that rlly exists. but id def do that too #also if anyone knows how to price writing comms i would love to hear it--

[magicalmanhattanproject]

man im just like. thinking about egg signs and how they've evolved over the course of the qsmp and how the qsmp has evolved over the course of the qsmp and just feeling so much love and affection for every part of the project. i dont have any grand overarching point with this just. like. here's a history of egg comms bc of the kind of person that i am

so wayyyy back ten months ago now at the start of the short and sweet egg event that was planned to last maybe a month at most, the eggs had their own custom, decorated signs!

[ID: Leo with a pink sign with an egg on the bottom corner that reads "hello" in all caps. Her nametag reads Leonardo. End ID]

They were extremely simple, single word signs. There was hello, hola, story, feed, sleep, and maybe one or two more and each was its own separate sign. The eggs could only communicate the most basic needs in words and everything else was through minecraft body language or just hoping their parents guessed right.

But obviously, there was a lot more that parents wanted to hear from their children. I'm not sure who was actually first, but the earliest departure from this system I know about is BadBoyHalo giving Dapper a simple oak sign so he could name his pet slime. (Screenshot from @/lxrd-ren)

[ID: Dapper wearing a diver's helmet standing next to a tiny slime in a boat with an oak sign reading "Bouncy (slmecicle but better)" End ID]

Parents quickly realized how much more convenient this was and pretty soon every single egg had stacks of signs to communicate with.

The next innovation came from Vegetta, who was the resident mod knower at the time. He knew about colored canvas signs and gave Leo signs in her favorite color purple because he loved her and gave her everything she wanted.

[ID: Leo's bed in her room under some Fooligetta fanart with a purple sign reading "<3" End ID]

Colored signs obviously had a lot of advantages. Being able to tell at a glance which egg placed which sign was a huge step forward in eggs being able to have long, complicated conversations as well as leaving obvious marks of their personality everywhere they went. It took a little while for them to be standard for every egg though. Bobby never stopped using oak signs even after Richas and Pomme both showed up with colored signs.

[ID: Two signs reading from right to left a red Pomme sign reading "we already started working on a guillotine factory" and a dark grey Dapper sign reading "thats the most french u have said so far pomme" End ID]

And this was the system for a while! And it worked pretty well for most people! The biggest struggle most people had was egg signs not being translated, but streamers adjusted to that by reading signs out loud so the translators would pick up on them. This also lead to adorable and fascinating dynamics like Richas swearing in signs he wrote for Bad and then warning Bad not to read them out. There was also the genuinely phenomenal development of Leolingo where Leo writes only in Spanish to Foolish because it's easier for her to write and he takes his time to puzzle his way through it and learn in a way that's super cool to watch someone else do onscreen.

Then Tubbo joined the server. And Tubbo himself had no problems at all with the system, but he is dyslexic and he casually mentioned offhand that it was getting kind of annoying to read signs after a ten hour long stream and the admin team Fucking Cooked.

Within 24 hours, they had TTS working on the signs. Within 48 hours, it was working on books too. I can't remember how long it took to get translation working, but it was definitely under a week.

And this opened up a whole new world of possibilities for the entire QSMP. The admin team has been on top of capitalizing on it for story purposes, but also just allowing the egg admins to speak in their native languages to everyone whenever they want has been so enriching for everyone involved. Leolingo is awesome but Foolish has been learning Spanish insanely fast and his process is a lot slower and more frustrating than most people can do in front of an audience of thousands of people without feeling discouraged. That's also one language. We've had everything from Foolish being able to check his work a bit more faster to Phil insisting on his eggs taking a day to speak to him in their native languages to Ramón writing a book for Fit in Cantonese, a language we haven't even seen on the server in any other context!

And all of it is fully understood and fully communicated! Sometimes the translators mess up but no one expects them to be perfect and people ask for clarification if the translator says something that doesn't sound right. It's not only a massive step forward in communication technology, but it's a great demonstration of how to use it and when you can and can't rely on it.

And finally, the most recent innovation! One of BBH's viewers sent him a dono saying they had trouble reading certain signs because they were too low-contrast. Bad, Richas, and Pomme just. Took it upon themselves to fix the problem right there and then. Based on One (1) bringing up their own personal struggle, those three came up with new signs that innovate tremendously on the originals.

[ID: Two separate images of the before and after. The first is the egg signs in their original colors with the corresponding egg's name written on them to demonstrate the font color and the second is in the new, higher contrast colors with the same text. The new signs also have custom decorations for each egg. The second picture also has two signs from Pomme in all caps that read "Send all the love to Richas he spent a whole night making this he's the best <3" End ID]

There are three main innovations visible in the above pictures

1: Obviously, the colors are higher contrast. The signs with white text have darker colors and the signs with black text have lighter colors.

2: The colors themselves are lower saturation. Richas said this made it easier for him personally to read them so he corrected that way, but that's open to change if it causes difficulties for more people than it helps

3: The decorations are for accessibility reasons! People with various different forms of colorblindness will find different sets of colors easier or harder to distinguish, but any of them can look at the decorations and use them to identify whose sign is whose instead.

But! Those innovations are not why I made this post! It's these ones!

[ID: The backs of the new signs when placed on the ground. Most visible are Chayanne's with vines and a hardcore heart, Sunny's with shining sunglasses, and Pomme's with an apple and the Eiffel Tower. End ID]

Richas added distinguishing marks to the backs of the signs too! This is something that Bad brought up specifically as something he wanted because it was hard for him to tell who was talking when he was using TTS from behind signs and couldn't see the colors at all.

We went from custom egg signs (a hotbar or so of words and nothing else to communicate with) through a long journey of expanding communication and expanding who we're bringing along on the communication and how easily they can join in and we've circled all the way back around to custom egg signs (they can say anything they want in any language they want and anyone will know it's them saying it from any angle)

and i guess i have enough feelings abotu that to write All This about it
