Hall of Fame: Coillte/SybPrinceton
7 years ago
So I've been kicking an idea around lately -as I've had plenty of time to commission a few people multiple times, I figured I should take what little position I have, and give some shine to them in a more thorough way! No review or journal has been paid for, requested, or otherwise influenced; everything following is composed of my own thoughts and feelings on each of them. No real schedule here, just winging it.
Also, yes, I know I can do Trusted Artists (and have, mind you), but I feel strongly enough to do this, so shhhh.
Why you should watch/commission/work with her:
-SUPER SWEET AND KIND
-Vibrant, well-placed colors
-A mind for more "out there" concepts and kinks
-High character focus
-Extreme creation speed!
Personal first encounter: "Delinquent Sole" and "Wet Rider", September 2016 (note: colors done by me)
Other examples of personal work: Seen here
Testimonial:
Nearly two years ago, as of posting, I found Coillte on a random search on this site; if memory recalls, it was due to me looking for some Yugioh content, like the absolute Slifer Slacker degenerate that I am, and coming across a sketch sale she had going at the time. The prices were low, like 10-15€ for a toned monochrome sketch so cleaned, they should have been called lines. Still, I liked what I saw, and wanted a sketch (and a lineart too, since the prices were so similar), so why the hell not? I sent a note, waited a few hours (time zones are the bane to all commissioners, natch), and when I finally got the response, she was absurdly kind and accepting of both my ideas, and my nerves.
What some people don't realize is that artists of any known stature can be terrifying, or stressful. So, I can't explain enough how that demeanor helped --even if I chalked it up to professional distance.
The work came back quick, and of SUCH HIGH QUALITY that I couldn't help but want to grab something else!
Twenty-one months later, and I'm still going; while I understand that I'm a bit of an annoying git who keeps getting commissions and Patreon rewards of my own characters (which means, we're talking 1-3 pieces A MONTH of them), I wouldn't trade that random September night's note for anything. I helped bankroll a wonderful artist off of it, but much more importantly, I met a wonderful person and friend because of it. Someone who I can brag on for being so talented, so sweet, and so stupidly professional despite not calling herself as such! With the heart of a creator, and as someone who does art for her own enjoyment, her clients' happiness, and for profit, I can honestly say that Coillte is a SUPERB choice to work with. Give her a shot for commissions, maybe a backing on Patreon -- or maybe just a shout for her excellent work. But please don't overlook such a great, great person.
Guaranteed you'll love what you get.

IF only I could fave journals ;;;
No seriously, this is so kind and lovely of you to do!

Man, this so much! ;;;; I am SO GLAD that I'm approachable and friendly! ;;; Seriously, that's a big relief!
But no, this is so touching, thank you so much! ;;;
Aw, it's cool. The journal's not going anywhere, so it'll be good to go. But I really felt some kind of way about it, and while I can only do so much, I really want it known that you've been a positive force for me! And a superb enough person that I would say so publicly.
IT'S SO TRUE THOUGH. You are, and you should ALWAYS remember that your approachability (it's a word now) is a blessing many don't have. You are wonderful, dear. Never ever doubt it.
