uhhhhhh that's a lot on the tin huh

anyways, landlady is kicking us out, we gotta be out by end of August cuz her and her fam got kicked out their current place. she doesn't wanna force us out and is even willing to monetarily compensate us so it's not too bad, but w covid obvs it's fucking impossible to find a place. and since its july, most places are only looking for single people or students in student housing. our city is really small, too, and we have pets.

we have a viewing tomorrow but i personally can't go, gonn be streaming so, but the gist is that at best we'll find a new place but it'll be more expensive, at worst, we literally need to buy a house out of town and bus into town to get food [we dont have a car].

so with that said, if i do end up needing to pay more i will need to be raising prices;;

altho it's not all too bad, i'm planning on adding a new shading type..! since the prices of everything else will go up, i wanted a quicker option to take the place of the lowest priced shading option. that way i still have something on the lower end but it's quicker for me to execute which means i can still take more comms to make up the difference in new rent, if that makes sense

i'll also be looking to add a new simple background option for free, it'll just be a shape and like a pattern or gradient, or both. nothing crazy. just something to add a pop.

here's an example of both the shading and the simple background, as u can see the outline is still a thing.

this shading style isn't new for me but it's new for me to offer, some older examples of it are here!

i'll also look at adding a simple ref sheet option (back, front, close up of face, palette, name and info, pawpads if necessary). not sure how i am going to price it yet and im still not 100% confident in drawing a lot of varied body types, but still practicing in my own time and looking for opportunities to work w them!!
that would look like this! But with better writing... I do hand write primarily but can do regular text if wanted 0);;

but that one might take longer for me to decide on;;;

EDIT: while i was at it, i updated my TOS to be more readable, probably!
