hey everyone! I'm starting a ko-fi page to take small donations to help support my art. commission work can be very draining for me and I'd like to have some way of taking payments for my 'personal' art. I'm graduating college soon and any amount of support would be very much appreciated ^^.

regardless, thank you to everyone for all of the favorites/comments. every time I post a picture I am constantly refreshing to see how you all feel about each one. it's all a big motivator for me and I will continue drawing my funny little farting guys until my hands fall off.

thanks again! <|:3c

my joyfriend  papayadreaming is experiencing financial troubles and is also the best porn writer I know, so if you will please go and check out its commissions that'd mean a lot to the both of us (AKA commission fart stories so I have more to read) <|:3c

heya - just making a journal to let people know I am opening for commissions using a google forms page. as much as I'd like to maintain a waitlist and get an image done for everyone, I'm simply getting too many requests to reasonably keep up with and rather than working through them in an entirely linear manner I'd prefer to have a pseudo-queue to pick and choose from in order to maximize my motivation.

if you've expressed interest about commissions before today, feel free to indicate that in your response and I'll try to prioritize yours if it's an idea I like.

the form says it, but I'll state it here as well - this does not mean I am going to immediately start drawing your image, nor does it guarantee I will get to yours at all. All this form is is a way for me to have a compiled list of people interested in commissions alongside their ideas so I can choose which ones I'd like when I'd like.

i am going to start using twitter in addition to furaffinity and NOBODY can stop me

heya, just a quick update since I semi-regularly get notes about commissions -

in the past, I've canceled multiple commissions because I took on too much and got burnt out. of course, I don't take money before a sketch is completed and confirmed, but it's still embarrassing to take off more than I can chew and have to dm people back that I actually can't get it done. You can probably notice by my upload dates that things are pretty sporadic and I lose inspiration to continue drawing for decently long stretches at a time. currently I'm in the mood to draw and will continue to upload stuff, but I can't guarantee how long that will remain to be the case.

therefore, I intend to practice a bit more just making personal uploads before taking on any more commissions. I'll probably experiment a bit with some discounted commissions in the style of the previous 2 uploads (pencil sketched, rough coloring), and I've considered doing a YCH (which I would appreciate ideas for!); but as for having a concrete commission form with regular commissions I'm not sure I'm up for that any time soon.

If you're at all interested in one of the aforementioned sketchy discounted commissions, feel free to send me a note and I'll add you to my list to (hopefully) be contacted a bit later. I'll be going into these with no guarantees and I'll likely be pretty picky with what I'd like to draw for them (only fart stuff, no humans/female characters, no relatively non-complex scenarios/characters until I'm more comfy) and it's very likely I'll turn down a decent amount, fair warning. the list is now full to where i'm comfortable with it, sorry if you missed out!

regardless, if I've canceled a commission for you in the past - I'm sorry, 100% my fault and I should've taken more care in the drawings I agreed upon! sometimes it's tough to convey this sort of info in furaffinity notes, so hopefully this journal will suffice. this comes off as a bit morose; I'm not asking for like sympathy in the comments or anything I'd just feel bad if I didn't actually address/apologize for canceling on a few people in the past!

and finally - thank you for the support; comments and favorites on my drawings are forever appreciated and I'm always grateful to know people actually like my art

edit: also, if in the past I told you I'd contact you when I open for commissions again then sorry! i'm very bad at remembering and i never made a list! feel free to send a note reminding me if you're interested

heya, made a post yesterday about opening a slot but I've since revised my commission info and am opening up for 2 slots of any type

leave a comment to claim it and I'll send you a note asking for the info, please be sure to read over my new 'what I don't draw' and altered prices

thanks!

check it out if you're interested, current bid at the time of this posting is $95

heya, my partner  papayadreaming has opened up story commissions to fund the purchase of borderlands 3 and I'd be foolish not to support the ol' ball and chain.

I'm not just doing this because it directly benefits me, either, I know it's hard to find good content creators that are open for commissions and he's definitely my favorite~

also - an update on my own art - I've been in a long hiatus doing all sorts of other stuff that has nothing to do with art, but I'm back and learning fundamentals in order to improve my art as a whole. No timeframe, but eventually!

heya, my boyfriend wrote a good fart story over here and because he hasn't posted any fart stuff before he doesn't have the watcher base to get eyes on it~

If that interests you then I implore you to give it a read!

heya, just posting a journal to let everyone know - I've added the option to include a small story with your commission for $8.

stories will be around 500 words, similar to the story on http://www.furaffinity.net/view/30613984/

if you're currently waiting on a commission just let me know if you'd like one of these~

heya, just making a journal to announce i'm closing commissions for the time being! i've gotta work through my backlog and practice a bit until I'm confident enough to open 'em up again~

also thanks for 500 watchers! i really appreciate it, as well as all the comments and what not.

heya, just making a journal to let everyone know that for the time being my sketch commissions are closed!

I don't have the time to handle them all so until further notice I won't be accepting any commissions other than shaded ones.

If you're currently waiting on a commission from me, this does not apply~

heya, just making a journal to highlight a change to my commission rules

I will no longer draw females on commission for the time being. with school started I have significantly less free time and it's very hard to find motivation to draw something I'm not into at all.

if you've currently got a commission waiting from me this does not apply to you, I'll still finish it~

thanks for the support everyone!

heya, just wanna preface this with a belated thank you for 300 watchers! sorry for the relatively low image frequency lately, I've just got less time with school having started.

I'm updating my commission prices to better reflect the amount of time they take.

Sketch commissions are now $15, from $10

Flat color commissions are now $35, from $25. I no longer do inked lines, only rough lines.

Shaded commissions are now $45, from $30.

Extra character prices have changed as well.

Sketch extra characters are now $10, from $7.50.

Flat color extra characters are now $20, from $15.

Shaded extra characters are now $30, from $20.

The cost of background and alt. versions is unchanged.

If you're currently waiting on a commission from me, your price will not go up.

thank you everyone for the continued support! so many people message me on telegram and discord and tell me they love my art and it truly means a lot!

heya, just making a journal to let everyone know I've restructured my commissions a bit. Previously my sketch commission was uncolored messy lines similar to what you'd see in a WIP, but now it's changed to something similar to the telegram requests I've been taking recently.

for $10 you can get a flat colored image with unrefined lines, like in http://www.furaffinity.net/view/28240461/ or http://www.furaffinity.net/view/28182528/

as such, I've removed the tier between sketch and flat colors and instead made flat color commissions default to being inked lines + cleaner colors. I've also updated the examples for commission types as well as added an extra pricing for an alternate angle window. In addition, an extra character in a sketch is now $7.50 instead of $5 to reflect the new structure. None of the prices have changed outside of the added window pricing and the extra sketch character if you choose to have that.

contact me on any platform if you'd like a commission!

once again thanks to everyone for the support~ it's hard to express in words how much it means to me that people enjoy my art and have stuck around to watch me improve!

i'll use this opportunity to ask: would anybody be interested in a ych? I'd like to do something like that but I want to be sure that there would be people who would potentially be into it.

anyways, thanks again

go check 'em out! they're a bit higher now to better reflect the time I spend drawing them and hopefully they're less confusing than before~

I'll also let this journal be a reminder that I'm still open for commissions and will be for the foreseeable future, if you're interested just send me a note or message on any of the social media platforms listen on my page.

thanks once again for all the support everyone

heya, just making a journal to point out that i've reached 100 watchers! thanks so much to everyone who's watching and to everyone who views my art~

expect another picture in a few hours!

hey, just wanted to make this journal to say thank you to everyone who looks at my art, I was really not expecting to gain any traction and I truly appreciate everyone who is watching and favorites my images. Suddenly I'm almost at 100 watchers and it's baffling to me.

I wasn't expecting to even get any people interested in commissions and I'm overjoyed that I've gotten multiple people who enjoy my art enough to pay me for it.

thanks again for sticking with me through learning how to draw on a tablet~

i've just updated my commission info http://www.furaffinity.net/commissions/austrum/

go ahead and send me a note with your desired image type and i'll see what i can do with it

as for requests, I'll still be doing them occasionally if it's an idea i'm into and i'm at a loss for what to draw

as for everyone watching, I appreciate your support greatly and hope you continue to enjoy my art
