I'm back, baby!

General
Well, if you follow me, you know I never left.
However, I haven't been as active as always. I'll be posting art I get as always, just less frequently. (Prices have increased significantly and I need to take care of my finances.)
I'm back offering commissions too! Not only writing stories, but also helping with world-building or proof-reading. You can read more details at my commissions page or at this location. I also have some nice and affordable packages with
Tassy!
Also, the regular question journals will come back. I want to hear from you!

Howeveeerr, I do have an unfinished reference someone could use if they wanted to ask for her. Feel free to reach out!
That said you can find quite a few good artists who don't charge as much. I know quite a few.
I should try to draw her again someday
But the problem is:
- prices have gone up in the community in general (a good commish back then was $50-80, now they start at $150-$200)
- multiply that by the amount of characters
- add a charge for large wings
- most people don't know who she is or how she looks, images from the show are awful models (I solved this by creating a ref sheet)
- people who draw birds usually don't draw lizards well
- people who draw lizards usually don't draw birds well
- she's neither of those, but a combination (some artist would still model her after a pterodactyl even when I submitted the ref sheet)
All in all, every commish feels like a hassle, an expensive one, and correcting artists/pushing them to do something they're not used to, is just uncomfortable for everyone.
My other characters at least are a skunk (everyone knows those, worse case scenario I'll look like a squirrel which is good enough), and a liger (some people know them, worse case scenario it'll look like a tiger, which is good enough).
Again, this is not a rant, just me explaining why I don't want to spend thousands while making artists uncomfortable at the same time.
Also inflation does bite.
Also will be interested to see your ref sheet.
But if you want recommendations I know of or to chat more can take it over to DM / FA notes.
