Frequently Asked Questions (Please Read!):

[ ? ] Are these all the options you have for commissions? [ A ] These are primarily just examples of things I've done consistently in the past! If you have a more 'custom' idea, we can certainly discuss it! I've been doing pixel art for over four years, so I have some decent experience, but like every artist I have limits to my current abilities. You can see both my Tumblr and DeviantArt galleries for more examples, including the options for the line styles, animations, and shading! [ ? ] What ARE all those options under the examples? [ A ] Hard lines means the piece will have "hard", solid black lines between each "section" of the piece: the outline, and between all the different colors, etc. Lineless means that rather than having that solid black line, I use a slightly darker shade of each color to outline them, like the full body dragon! This gives it a softer, 'lineless' look. Cell shading means that there's just one color used to shade, rather than a blend. The Kakashi doll on the far left has cell shading: just one color in a hard shape. Smooth shading means what it sounds like: a few colors are blended from dark to light to make the shadows smoother! I do a few very basic animations for certain dolls or icons when requested. Typically this refers to a one-pixel "bob", and a blink cycle. I can also have a doll open its mouth and bring up a small speech bubble if you'd like them to say something! Please bear in mind that animation takes additional time and effort, and though not required, additional support is appreciated for animated pieces! [ ? ] Why are there things you refuse to draw? [ A ] For the most part, it's simply a matter of preference. For others, it's a matter of ability. Some things are just a bit too complex for me to feel I can pull it off in a fashion consistent with the rest of my work, and therefore being worth your money! Hence a limit on complex poses and the number of characters per shot, or complex designs, like mecha. Other things like the ship limitations are just personal preferences that make me uncomfortable. The NSFW ban is mostly due to most hosting sites not liking to host mature artwork...and also a matter of both my ability, and personal preference. [ ? ] What constitutes NSFW? [ A ] For me, this includes any nudity that shows genitals - nipples and / or breasts are fine. This also includes anything sexual, including any and all fetishes, even if genitals are not shown. I also do not do heavy gore. I may expand this umbrella term if anything not already covered comes up! [ ? ] I can't afford a commission, but I'd like to help! What can I do? [ A ] You can share this comm sheet and / or my art with your friends! Getting the word out might mean finding someone able and willing to order a comm, which of course is a big help! [ ? ] Do you do requests? [ A ] Unfortunately, not at the moment. If you'd like me to draw something for you and the comms are open, you're more than welcome to order something! While I do do personal art for myself and for friends, I can't make free art for everyone. In the future I may do something akin to raffles, but for now, we're starting with the commissions! [ ? ] Can I donate without ordering a commission? [ A ] You most certainly can, and it's very much appreciated, and would be a huge help! Of course it is NOT an expectation: no one has to donate if they can't or don't want to. But if you just want to throw some general support in to help me keep creating, you're more than welcome, and I'd appreciate it tremendously [ ? ] Do you accept DeviantArt points? [ A ] I do not. To put it bluntly, DA points can't pay my bills. I have nothing I need that DA points can buy, so I only work with money. Sorry! [ ? ] Do you do anything like art trades? [ A ] For the moment, no - but I might in the future! I'm open to the possibility, but for now (and for this post's purpose), I'm working on commissions! If I ever open up art trades, I'll be sure to make another about it! [ ? ] How is best to contact you? [ A ] Any of the above listed social media! Here on DA, please send a note with a subject line about commissions. On Tumblr, you can send an ask (off anon) which I will reply to privately. You can also send an IM! Email also works: just include commissions in the subject line. I do my best to check all of these sites a few times a day, but there may be times where I'm limited. I'll try to post ahead of time so you know why I'm not responding promptly! Otherwise, it could take me about a day to get back to you. Please be patient! I have other responsibilities. I may also take hiatuses if I feel the need. If I go more than a few days without responding and haven't given any warning, there's probably something keeping me from my messages, and I'll do my best to get back to you as soon as I'm able! [ ? ] What's your policy on refunds? [ A ] So long as I haven't finished flat coloring your piece, you can get a full refund, of course! But once the piece is lined AND colored, I've put in a good bit of work, so I'm afraid I won't be able to refund you. As stated on the sheet, you can ask for an update on the piece any time! And I will send you the cleaned sketch once it's finished to see if there's anything you'd like changed. Though please bear in mind some things can differ between sketching and lining, especially when shrinking down to pixel. A sketch is a general outline, not the full product! [ ? ] Are there any other circumstances where you might refuse a commission? [ A ] Honestly it depends. I hope not to encounter any other reasons beyond my general rules, but I DO retain the right to say no to any commission for any reason, which I don't have to disclose. If I do say no, please respect that decision. It's never anything personal. [ ? ] Where does the art go once it's finished? [ A ] Any commissioned art, by default, will be posted to my DeviantArt, my Tumblr, and on Ko-fi! I'll also send you a copy / link through whatever means you contacted me with. If you'd like your art to be private, you need only ask. I will then only send YOU the art, and it will NOT be posted anywhere else. I can also post the art anonymously if you’d like it posted, but your name not attached to it. [ ? ] How can I use my commission(s)? [ A ] Any way you like UNLESS it's commercial - in other words, if you make any money using the artwork. Please also do not trade or sell the artwork. Otherwise, feel free to use it for any personal use you'd like! You can also repost the art so long as you provide a link to my original post. If your comm wasn't publicly posted, a link back to any of my social media will suffice! Just always be sure to use proper credit so people know where the art came from! That way they can find my pages, and maybe get a commission of their own! [ ? ] Do you do fanart? [ A ] I do! My commissions are all one-off, unique jobs, and I'm hardly about to impact any IP markets. So long as it's a large fandom (no Disney, though - that's one I won't touch), and my art wouldn't greatly impact the profits and livelihood of other creators, I can do fanart. But I DO prefer to do original art! It's great to work with new designs, and help give original characters more art for them! Gimme OCs to draw! [ ? ] Can you design a character for me, like a custom adoptable? [ A ] I can! Just bear in mind that I'll need as many details as possible to make something that fits your vision! I'll also need to work with you more than typical to be sure we get it as accurate as possible, so be prepared for a lot of communication until we get it looking as you want! [ ? ] Can you do gifts - in other words, can I order art for another person? [ A ] I do, and you certainly can! Just be sure to let me know who the gift is for, so I can tag them! If they don't have any of the social media I use, you can just give me a name or screen name to post with it. A gift will just cost you the same as any art you'd order for yourself! Also please do be sure you have permission to commission art of characters owned by another person! [ ? ] What do you mean by 'item'? [ A ] Each individual pixel piece! One lone pixel doll of 150 pixels would be four dollars! But if you want two dolls interacting, it's four dollars EACH. So eight dollars. That's because I still have to sketch, ink, color, shade, and possibly animate EACH doll! Twice the effort means twice the price.

[Dabs but in an adoption-y way]

Hey there! I’m Fluffy, of @flufflebones fame, here to get set up with a bara if possible! I can provide proof of my ko-fi donation/ownership of the flufflebones blog if needed, but!

I’m a digital artist and caretaker to two very demanding individuals in a bit of a tough spot financially and emotionally, ideally looking for a friend first and romantic/sexual partner (somewhat shortly) after– Though I’d like to take it a little slow on the romantic front, to make sure that I’m personally in a place where being in a relationship serves to improve both of our lives rather than only satisfying one of us/our needs. Our housing situation is going to be changing rapidly and without warning for a while until we’re in someplace concrete, but that doesn’t mean we’re giving up on eachother– Or that I’ll give up on my boy when things get tough.

I’d ideally need support in most regards (financial, physical, emotional, etc), at least until the worst of my current life situation blows over and I’m able to seek help for myself to attempt to improve my ability to move forward, and would definitely at least be able to provide comfort and support emotionally/physically to them in return– Though, given my background and general aversion to louder, bombastically aggressive/demeaning personalities, I’m not sure that the more extreme skeletons would be a perfect fit, aha.

I get attached relatively easily, and actually kind of prefer others being attached to me so long as they tolerate my interactions with others and give me some breathing room from time to time when asked (as I’d do the same for them). I’m personally very open to the concept of having more than one bara, and would like to consider it for the future, but don’t feel *super* strongly about it either way– As long as they’re willing to make sure they take care of me as I care for them, they’re good.

As a note; I was paired with Stretch here https://msmkcreates.tumblr.com/post/173897179458/hey-there-matchmaker-help-me-out-please-im-51 and would definitely like some of the details here to be included in consideration for the new match; Though I’m still caring and still something of a peacemaker, recent events have basically eroded my softer edges– I can snap and get upset/frustrated easily, I no longer completely prioritize others over myself (at least for the sake of my health, lmao), and though I try to mediate wherever I can (more for my sake now than anything else) I’ve noticed that my fuse has gotten significantly shorter and my body gets tired more and more easily– so I’d probably need a bara who’s chill with… all that, lmao. Thank you for the help! I’m leaning toward Honey and Tramp type baras, but i’m definitely curious to see what you suggest/what you think about my preferences.

The gifts that I’ve brought are as follows;

-A resin pendant, with the suspended materials inside resembling a little universe (gold flecks serving as further off stars, a white swirl as space dust) all centered around a small opal that serves as its star, set on a pink background. Its a gift that I treasure dearly from a friend, and if prompted to explain its significance I’d gladly go on for hours about how I use smaller wearable trinkets as a method of reassurance– It’s a solid, physical reminder of the fact that others are there for me, something that I can hold on to when I feel like I’m losing control of the situation at large.

-a black ‘leather’ sketchbook filled to the brim with countless sketches, medium tests, and “finished” artwork of my characters, fandom characters, or still life subjects. Some of the sketches are nsfw, but the most stand out trait of the sketchbook is that the artwork shows a steady progression in terms of artistic growth, and is marked with notes that i’ve added in hindsight; encouraging little footnotes that remind me to keep moving forward, rather than moving back.

- I’d probably offer them an acoustically sung song or two rather than a third ‘item’ gift, though i guess a booklet of the lyrics for the various songs (because i can’t memorize worth shit, whoops) could count? These songs are all, like, something that can be repeated a few times and sung at slower tempos if a bara wants to try and dance a little with me while I sing, you know? You can find a general idea of what sort of songs would be sung (here), and I’d largely be picking the songs in random order while going through the ceremony; Music is a big thing for me, same as art, and singing always makes me feel a little more vulnerable and open to others– I hope that it shows!

[Thank you so much for all the work you’ve put into this event; You’re doing an amazing job!]

---------

Before MK can say anything, Mutt has swept you into his arms to twirl across the floor, chuckling at your surprise as he starts to sing “Paris in the Rain” in a low voice. He gives you a twirl and lands a kiss on your cheekbone that sets your face aflame. Behind him you watch MK bristle a bit, and Boss scoff about his manners.

“As you can see, Tramps definitely take a liking to all that you’ve said,” MK says, snapping her fingers. Mutt squeaks as foxfire clutches his hood and pulls him staggering backwards away from you.

“anywhere with you feels right~” Mutt croons sweetly at the kitsune as if begging forgiveness for his boldness. “anywhere with you feels like--”

“ANYWAY,” MK says loudly, exasperated, and Mutt’s face falls a bit. “A Tramp would be a wonderful partner for you. Artsy, music lovers, and prone to wearing a lot of sentimental accessories. They’re good workers despite seeming to be lazy, and they’ve got wandering souls so they won’t mind moving about so long as they have you.”

“am i in trouble?”

“However you might not want one of these flirts if you have a temper like me,” MK scoffs, not answering his question but somehow still answering it.

Tramp or someone else?

Pay What You Want commissions are open! Active Slots: 1. [ Open ] 2. [ Open ] 3. [ Open ] 4. [ Open ] 5. [ Open ] Reserved Slots: 1. [ Open ] 2. [ Open ] 3. [ Open ] 4. [ Open ] 5. [ Open ] Frequently Asked Questions (Please Read!):

[ ? ] What does pay what you want mean? [ A ] Pay what you want (pwyw) means that, beyond a minimum, you can pay whatever you want for the commission! The minimums are listed on the sheet, and anything above that isn't necessary, but greatly appreciated! If an item says 1+ kofi, you must pay at least one kofi, but you can add more if you're feeling generous! [ ? ] What is a kofi? [ A ] Ko-fi is a website that allows you to support your favorite creators, a bit like a way to tip them by "buying them a coffee"! A 'kofi', as I call them, is each unit of support you give an artist ($3US). There is of course a small chunk taken from each kofi, so the artist doesn't get the full $3 (just something to bear in mind). You can give as many kofis at once as you'd like, hence these commissions being pwyw so you can give whatever you feel like giving! [ ? ] Are these all the options you have for commissions? [ A ] These are primarily just examples of things I've done consistently in the past! If you have a more 'custom' idea, we can certainly discuss it! I've been doing pixel art for about 3.5 years, so I have some decent experience, but like every artist I have limits to my current abilities.
