I wanted to make a small explanation announcement here as I'll be implementing a new small fee regarding canines and raptors going forward. Some of you may recall, this was previously in place before (about 2 years ago) but I removed it for a period of time after my situation improved.

As an artist, I get very burned out drawing certain things repeatedly and as many of you may know, raptors are not my favorite subject to draw. It's been a joke within my community since 2019 and I previously charged +$10 in some instances to draw them.
Recently within the last 2-3 months, they've been the subject of many commissions and my burn out has gradually increased (which is my own responsibility to manage and no ones fault) especially when compounded by everything going on IRL, it's made drawing somewhat challenging, but I like making people happy and bringing their characters to life.

Will I still draw them? Absolutely!!! I have nothing against them and folks are allowed to enjoy whatever they like. I'll always do my best to accomplish that for them and make unique art pieces. :)
I personally would prefer not having to draw them so frequently though (same for canines, which I outright refused to draw for about a year due to lack of interest) and my intent is to never to offend nor upset anybody by implementing something to help myself enjoy my own art process more.

It's a small +$5 fee onto any order when raptors or canines are involved *unless* it's the ko-fi sketches. Those are just flat rate regardless for everyone no matter the species. :)

I hope ya'll understand and can respect my choice as an artist to try and curb some of this burn out! Things have been rough in my personal life lately and the melting emoji pretty much sums up how I've been feeling lol

Stay safe everyone!

Thanks everyone!
