TLDR: PWYW commissions! Multiple tiers of goodies! Donate at https://ko-fi.com/kerilyn and note me telling me what you want for it!

So, my commission queue is nearly finished save for a couple of people and... I'm broke, ahahah. So I'm going to hopefully try and encourage more work by opening up PWYW commissions! This time around, since I don't have much of a queue waiting on me (and I intend to weave some of those in with the PWYW work as I go), I'm going to include tiers for people who want more than a monochrome sketch:

- ANY amount will get you a monochrome sketch! Same as before!
- $40 or more for a colored sketch!
- $70 or more for a properly lined, fully colored piece!
- $100 or more for lines, full color, and cel-shading!

The goal this time is set a bit higher mostly because I don't have much in the way of other obligations keeping me from running it for longer this time, and I really need the money, so... yeah! Drop by my Ko-Fi and donate some money if you'd like something, then contact me to provide the necessary references and tell me what you want! If you don't contact me within a couple days of donating, then I'm going to assume you didn't want anything and you were just donating out of generosity, so please shoot me a message as soon as you can! If you're not sure what you want then let me know that and I can hold your spot 'til you have an idea.

The best methods to contact me are:

- FurAffinity notes! I check FA multiple times a day. You're looking at my FA right now, note me here!
- BlueSky DMs! My profile is https://bsky.app/profile/batty.love
- If you've talked to me on other platforms or chat clients, you can talk to me there about this!
- Other platforms, such as Inkbunny, Itaku, or Weasyl, don't get checked as often! If that's more convenient for you, then I would advise mentioning it in your donation note so I will check for your message there!

Where does the money go? Put it right here! Shove it in the money hole! Art spits back out! It's fun, you'll like it!

Just a heads up - I've mentioned it in a few of my uploads lately but I've been running a Pay What You Want fundraiser for my monthly bills the last week or so and it's still going! I'll probably wrap it up in the next few days, but I still need more money, so if you'd like some art or just want to support me this is your opportunity! You can donate here and message me either on Ko-Fi or FurAffinity to give me a reference of the character you'd like drawn. You can catch me streaming stuff here if you like, generally a few hours at a time. I've been going every night for the last few days and aside from taking a couple days off I'm gonna try to continue that pace until at least all the PWYW material is finished!

UPDATE: The stream is over! But I plan on doing another tomorrow so stay tuned! Still accepting new PWYW donations for art for the next couple days as well. ♥

UPDATE #2: PWYW commissions have ended for now! Stayed tuned though, I'll likely be doing this again sooner or later.

Just a heads-up - my trip to the west coast is over, I'm back home, and although I am feeling a little under-the-weather I plan on getting back to work in the next couple of days finishing up the commissions that did not get done before I left. Apologies to anyone who's had to wait a little longer - plans were made on fairly short notice and I finished what I could. ^^;

That said - commissions are open for the next line-up! Please feel free to shoot me a note with any inquiries if you'd like, my price chart is right down there below every journal underneath the current queue. ^-^

I know 100 doesn't sound like a lot in the grand scheme of things, but I've been doing art for a long time and it's the most I've ever garnered, so thank you for all the support. ;w;

I'd like to organize a raffle or something for when I get back from my trip in a couple of weeks - we'll see how it goes! I've never done one before so I will have to look into the logistics of such things.

I will be taking a trip to visit someone very dear to me on June 10th, and I won't be back until the 24th. I plan on getting as many of my current commissions done as possible before leaving - but I can't really promise I'll be able to do much drawing while I'm there, so there may be a delay of a couple of weeks for those I can't get to. Since most of my current slate is sketches, it probably won't be a big problem, but any new commissions will have a sliiightly longer wait than usual. I'd like to take my tablet with me if for no other reason than personal sketches on my laptop, but we'll see how things work out! As mentioned, the last couple weeks have been a bit rough, but things are hopefully going to even out soon.

That said, I'm more than happy to continue taking on new commissions to work on when I get back! <3 They're still very much open.

I've gained a nice bump in watchers over the last week as I've been uploading my older stuff to e621! Hi! Hope you all stick around and I hope you enjoy what you see ^-^ Almost to 100 finally, triple digits let's gooo! I'm just about finished uploading older things to e6, but hopefully the momentum sticks around when I just have occasional new things to upload...

On another note yes I am still open for commissions! And in fact I could do with a few, I'm almost finished with my current slate and I could really use some grocery + rent money! Artwork has been a little slow lately because a mix of depression and allergy season have been kicking my ass, but I'll be over it soon enough. And I'm still unemployed, so every little bit of money I have coming in helps a ton.

Maybe I'll do something when I eventually hit 100 watchers? I dunno what the normal thing to do for that is, I've never had 100 watchers before.

It is incredibly disheartening and frustrating that the site where I have the biggest following, however meager, has not let me upload any new art in almost a week now at a time when I've been drawing quite a lot and would love to have more traffic and commissions coming in. It's not feasible for me to leave FA entirely, but if you would actually like to see what I've been working on instead of read-only mode on a janky old website running on spaghetti code, once again, here is a list of my other art accounts I actively post to. You'll find that I actually was able to upload to them today.

Plugging commissions again, I am open for them indefinitely! See my site for more info: https://batty.love/comms

While I never officially closed commissions, I did lessen my attempts to take on more while I work through my queue - now that I'm down to a more reasonable number I'm looking to take on some more as I work through them! I have a new site showing prices now, so give it a look and send me a note if anything strikes your fancy. ♥

TL,DR: Currently OPEN for commissions! Click here for prices and information!

As I mentioned previously, I recently moved! I'm now living with my formerly long-distance partner, who is now my wife! ♥ I proposed when I moved in at the start of February, and we got married on March 12th in a small courthouse wedding with a handful of close friends present. However, I am currently unemployed and she's unable to work, and we're living off my savings. We still have rent and groceries to pay for, and in order to have some sort of income in the meantime, I'm opening up for commissions! I'll be taking them for as long as my workload allows for it.

Primarily interested in drawing Pokemon, Digimon, or other cute little semi-feral creatures, but I might be open to anthros as well - I can draw them, I'm just less experienced. Open for anything from sketches to full art pieces, although the latter will understandably take more time to make. I still have only a very small following, so please feel free to spread the word if you know anyone who might be interested!

For more information, here is a page with terms and prices! You can note me here if you'd like to get something.

If you don't want any art at the moment but would still like to support us, any tips to my Ko-Fi would be very, very appreciated.

And as mentioned please, spread the word! I don't have much of a following but I do need the money right now. Thank you for reading!

Things have been quite active for me the last few months! I've still been drawing here and there, though I haven't uploaded in a while - I should have at least a couple things I can upload later to cover the gap. I did recently get back from vacation visiting my long-distance partner, however, and I am now trying to raise funds to help cover the eventual move to be closer to her. I don't have enough free time to commit to actual open commissions just yet, but I do have a Ko-Fi that anyone who'd like to help is welcome to drop in whatever they like. Anyone who donates $20 or more is welcome to leave a character reference either on the Ko-Fi message or noted to me here with a screenshot of proof of the donation, and I will give you a small sketch as a thank-you!

Hope to have more to show soon, and thank you for reading. ♥

If you follow my content, it may become pretty obvious why I may view FA's recent policy changes less-than-favorably. Even if I don't draw much NSFW, I don't appreciate their conflating "small and cute" with "child-coded and underage", and odds are I'm going to either stop using the site entirely or at least minimize my footprint here. The way I see it, if they're axing NSFW art that isn't even underage, then the next on the chopping block will be feral art, which consists of most of what I draw, so I figure I'm better off widening my presence and not relying on FurAffinity.

I spent the evening filling out galleries on other sites, so here's where you can currently catch me! Things are still a little disorganized, but I'll probably work that out the next time I have free time.

My twitter is more for personal use and not quite so much for art, but if it seems that's the place I should take art, I might make more of a presence there. I simply don't like that site and won't bother uploading old material there.

Apologies for both the inactivity and the sudden dump of artwork. I have been busy, I just haven't been inclined to upload much of it here... but as you can see, I have now! Generally artwork done of my Pokémon OCs, of which I have been on a designing kick these last couple months.

I do not often reply to complimentary comments or shouts I receive as I often don't know what to say beyond "thank you" and I have terrible social skills, but please know that I deeply appreciate any faves, comments, or watches that I am given. I just like having people enjoy my work! ♥
