COMMISSIONS CLOSED
I'll post openings as submissions, follow me to stay up to date!
I'm currently wrapping up the last few commissions before I'm closing them for the first time. It has been not quite a year since I joined FA, and I did so with three intentions: To improve my art, to explore my Nonbinary Idendity and to reconnect with a hobby that I had given up on years ago.
All three have gone great.
First of all, I'm really happy to see some of you really liking my fursona, my personal pics often get more favs than my commissions which I think means some of you are here for them and that's really cool :D
The specifics of my Idendity are still evolving but the big questions seem answered for now. I was never uncomfortable, but now I'm genuinely happy with myself. (My IRL life has also gone amazing this year despite the global circumstances) As such, I want to reveal a bit more personal information in my profile description.
I feel like I'm back to truly enjoying drawing random anthro characters. About ten years ago, when I decided that I wanted to pursue a professional art career, I had given up on drawing canines because it was generally frowned upon - but I never quite had enough ideas to draw human characters as a hobby so I just... Drew a lot less. Now I'm doing both, I have two seperate artists identities, one for my professional career, and this more or less secret one for my hobby drawings.
And despite only doing this as a hobby, I feel like my art has improved massively over the last couple of months, to the point I sometimes felt guilty when I started delivering commissions that looked different from what I had uploaded before.
I want to continue to use this hobby to push my art skills - and next I want to tackle something I've been dreading forever, which is backgrounds.
We're currently learning how to properly construct scenes with the correct perspective and stuff at school and I want to use that chance to practice it here. Offering it as commissions seems daunting though, It's so much more work than working with a simple background, which is why I don't want to offer it until I have some practice.
Instead I'm considering going into YCHs where I already have the fully rendered background pre-made.
I also want to open the regular bust and icon commissions again, but considering how busy this semester is, I'll probably only be able to do it during the breaks or with limited slots.
Thanks to everyone who is supporting me, I hope you get through these times safely,
