Well! It's been over 2 years since I've opened commissions so we'll see how this goes. For anyone who was hoping I'd open again someday- here is your chance!

I'll take as many coms as it takes to get to $600 and cut it off there. Ideally I'd like more pricey commissions to have a lower queue for my sake but I decided to leave icons and sketch chibis on my price sheet so I don't rule out anyone who can't afford more than that.

I will say I also threw on PRIDE to the end of the MGB list in honor of the month- so feel free to consider that, too! Obviously I can do pride stuff for the other art pieces but I digress...

I don't have it listed but I will consider the rare opportunity to commission me for a ref sheet if anyone is interested. It would be priced based on the detail of the ref sheet and character.

IT WOULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL FOR ME TO GET PAID BEFORE MONDAY IF POSSIBLE..! If anyone wants a commission but can't pay immediately, I may need to turn you down depending on how things go. It's definitely an emergency situation- a matter of my friend being able to keep a home or not- and that is very important to me.

HERE IS THE LINK TO MOST OF MY PRICES: https://rentry.co/lividdearcoms
(if there is anything you want that isn't on there, feel free to ask, and depending on what it is I may or may not be able to do it.)

I'll close when I hit $600. Donations and tips are of course always accepted as well, but not obligatory.
$600/600

Oh- and to clarify, these will be done after the 3 commissions I have already started in my queue as of typing this. Thanks!

We've got things handled for this month at least- thank you so much!!!

Hey, it's been a while again (sorry)

Life is still busy, of course... Probably always will be haha. I need to get better at time management probably.

I am working on owed coms again right now. My plan is to finish what I've got and...

tbh I'll probably consider stopping using this account once I'm done with what I owe.

I don't hold any ill will toward anyone but this account has a lot of emotional stuff surrounding it I kinda just don't want to attach myself to anymore. Basically, it makes me sad to log in. Lol.

That being said it'll take me a bit to get everything done, so I'm not vanishing immediately and I will be here as long as I owe people stuff. My trello is linked on my profile if anyone needs to check on that.

Still very much a furry so it isn't that, just, life changed for me drastically over the last two years and I'm moving on from a lot of different things. Plus I'm not entirely sure of the health of the site itself after recent events? I know it was down for a little bit.

So I guess I'll be finishing what I need to and packing up in a sense. I really appreciate everyone who supported me here for as long as you have, and the people who enjoy my work. I feel a bit sad typing this but maybe y'all will find me elsewhere somehow haha.

Either way, I'm here for now, but that might change in the future.

Thank you!

HI I'm so sorry i vanished for a while, life uhhh was/is busy. Especially the last few months.

I ended up moving to another state! but that's done! so i have a new home now.

I'm late but I'm gonna work on finishing owed stuff soon, so sorry to everyone waiting ;_; i haven't forgotten

as for anyone who has noted or messaged me i'll try to get back to you soon too!! sorry it's been a bit for some of you >.<!!

Thank you all for your patience!! I appreciate it!! 2023 has been a hell of a year for me.

In case I don't get to say it later, happy new year!! I hope 2024 is better for us all!!

Hey,

Signal boosting for my good friend Batruse here !!!

https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10690380/
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10690380/
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10690380/

they need the money ASAP (like a day or two) for a deposit so they can have their own place. all they have to do is get the funds in asap and sign the lease; they're already confirmed.

as many of you know moving is very hard so please consider commissioning or donating if you can ;;

anyone who is wondering about me life has been all over the place, i've been leaving little updates on trello

hope you're all well, thank you!

Hello!

Boosting this journal for my roommate here, it's urgent 🙏 things should be getting better starting next month but we still have to struggle through this one and rent is due on the 5th and I'm not in a spot where i can do much bc my new job got put on pause (yayyy... /s)

https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10569302/
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10569302/
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10569302/

his art is amazing and you should consider getting something! he also made new accounts on other sites if you aren't interested in staying here!!

Thank you for looking! Feel free to pass this along too if you want to 🙏❤️

take care

aaaand....

fa is causing mass exodus again !!!!

I'm fairly safe from this unless someone tries to come at me for my very-much-an-adult fursona but this probably spells the end of nsfw chibis from me to be safe.

worried about lots of friends and artists around tho that draw things that might get/are being targeted despite being adult characters drawn by adult artists. :/

with that being said... some updates

keeping commissions closed since i owe quite a bit now and don't wanna make the list longer, so if you wanted something and you're not already in the queue, sorry..!! it might be quite a while before i open again. like... QUITE a while.

i got a job!! so I'm gonna be trying to make money and get through owed commissions and then i'll be taking a break from commissions entirely until further notice. i may pop on and do one or two coms every so often but i think after i get through what I owe i could use a break... i've been doing furry coms since i was a kid and some time to recover might be nice. i would like to be able to post some personal furry art though in the future if fa doesn't completely crumble. we'll see. coms just aren't cutting it for me as my only source of income so I'm gonna finish what i owe and explore other things for a while. i really appreciate everyone who has commissioned me through the years and also thank you for your patience to those who are currently waiting. things have been tough financially for the last few months but they're looking up and i'll get to work on stuff soon. ❤️

ill be around if anyone needs me, and i'll try to get owed art out as soon as I'm able to. thank you all again

and best of luck to those affected by the policy updates /gen

Sorry to make another journal so soon, but we're like $500 or so short on rent and that needs to be had like yesterday. 😞💦

We got rent! But other bills exist so I'll keep this up. Thank you!!!

Please check out Batruse's journal here!!:
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10543412/

If you can commission them please consider doing so!

Also, check out their cool adopts here:
https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/papershredder/ !!

You can donate to them on their ko-fi as well:
https://ko-fi.com/trucebat

(if anyone donates to MY ko-fi i'll just send it over to them 🙏 we are roommates to be clear, so this applies to us both!!)

Thank you to anyone who is able to help ;_; it's been really hard financially recently !!

Hello,

Update journal as to why things are moving slowly right now..!

First off, apartment problems. Currently trying to avoid losing our home and/or pets. I've been either super busy or exhausted from working on working on things for the land manager as well as going to doctor's appointments and taking my cats to the vet, etc. So currently I need to focus on the apartment a LOT because I don't want to lose my home. That would cause a lot more problems. Because of this, however, commissions are going to be done slower/delayed because it's a bit of an emergency offline. I'm not going to abandon any commissions I have at all, it just might take me a bit longer than usual. Thank you for your patience and I'll continue to update any work on my trello.

Currently stuck in a really precarious situation where I don't want to lose my home but in a worst case scenario I may need to relocate. We'll see. I need to be able to make better money though to keep up with everything.

With that being said, come early June or so, I am going to try to apply for a job that I should be able to physically handle because unfortunately commissions aren't covering everything and I need to look elsewhere. It doesn't mean I won't ever take commissions again but depending on how my job will go when that happens I might be doing them a lot less or seldomly. Obviously anything that is currently in my trello will be done no matter what, because they're already bought and paid for. This only applies to future commissions. Just a warning to anyone who really wanted to commission me, it might be a bit harder to do so later on, sorry...! ;;

And lastly, nobody is obligated to do this, but I'm gonna throw my ko-fi here again in case anyone is open to donating to me. I have closed commissions because I can't add anything else to my queue at this time, so I'm sorry to say I can't really offer anything in return right now. Thank you for reading this either way 🙏 Any donations will go toward bills or food and other necessities like that.
https://ko-fi.com/lividdear

Maybe things will be okay sooner than later but for now it's a bit of a struggle. >< thank you for understanding !!

Have a good day!

I hate making journals like this but I'm sort of out of options atm ;_;

need money for bills real bad, and I'm unable to do most jobs due to chronic pain from being physically disabled so it's basically just commissions or begging right now 🥺

i need at least like $300 if not more for things like electricity and internet so i can keep doing coms and stay warm and such (my heat isn't on so im using a space heater ><!!). any amount is appreciated though if you can donate !

Here's my ko-fi for donations:
https://ko-fi.com/lividdear
https://ko-fi.com/lividdear
https://ko-fi.com/lividdear

I am also still more than willing to take commissions (including PWYW experimental coms) here if you would rather get something for your money:
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10518749/

please consider sending something or passing this around if you could; I'm sorry for having to ask this of you guys ^^; but thank you so much to anyone who is able to assist me ;; <3

Edit: Depending on what comes through I might have enough soon to be okay for a bit, I'll edit this journal again if that happens ;w; thank you so much to everyone who has been helping me out !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Edit 2: I have enough for now, so I'm at least safe right now!!!! Thank you all so very much!! 😭❤️

Hello, it is time to open more slots. This is...the April slot journal.

First, please make sure to check out my (slightly updated) terms of service!:
https://rentry.co/lividdeartos

Now, the sale... I need to get some money asap so coms grabbed and paid for before the 10th will be 10% off! (The sooner the better, though..! ;w;...)

Now, here's pricing BUT WAIT- THERE'S MORE! I added a little guideline for EXPERIMENTAL COMS...! They're PWYW and such, minimum is $25. Check the bottom of the page for more info:
https://rentry.co/lividdear

And of course, here is my TRELLO... please keep an eye on it! Especially if you're waiting for something!
https://trello.com/b/WJAmt2b4/lividdear

Thank you to anyone who commissions !!

I was curious if people would be interested in experimental PWYW sketches and/or lineless art either next opening or one soon after?

I think it would be fun to be tossed some money at and then make something different than usual! The PWYW would probably have a minimum or maybe tiers, but you'd pick the price otherwise, and that would determine how much time/effort goes into it or how detailed it gets.

Lineless stuff would be that: lineless. I'd either offer them as like chibis, full bodies or maybe busts. I have to think on that!

Either way, if anyone would be interested in that, lemme know!

Hello!!! I'm opening commissions for March.
I don't have a specific number to fill this time, just, I'll close it when it feels full or too late. Need money for rent so anything is appreciated !!

I'm going to offer simple backgrounds on MGBs this month to test the waters! While they won't be exactly like the pics below, these are examples of backgrounds I have added before:
• NSFW Example (New)
• NSFW Example
• NSFW Example
• Clean Example (Old)

Since the backgrounds are a new addition, they'll be $50 flat as an optional addition to MGBs! They're pretty experimental right now, they'll be artistic freedom of course, but you can suggest a mood or send a photo ref to base off if you want to.

MGBs (click here for types!) are $75 without a background and $125 with! (If you get a background I may also play with the lighting a bit more for fun, to create more do a mood.)

Icons and Sketch Chibis will be $45 each as usual!

Please comment or send a note if you're interested! ^^ Thank you!!

T.O.S.
Trello

Reminder that I am open for some unique february coms!:
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10463246/

ALSO is doing a sale for 10% off all coms!!!
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10468346/

we need rent like yesterday SO sorry but have to bump ;v;!!!

thank you !!

HELLO! I am opening coms for February. Keep in mind they won't be started until Feb starts. I'm finishing up some backlog and I'm also going to be busy this first weekend of feb, so I may start them after the 5th of Feb. We will see! But I need to get money together so I'm gonna go ahead and open now. ;v;

I would love to offer something specifically valentines-y, but I don't wanna risk missing the date, so in leu of a valentine's ych or something THIS year, I'll be offering some specials for this month to test out!! It's also a little bit of a deal as well.

WHAT I'M OFFERING THIS MONTH:
- MGBs (as usual, they're $75 each!)
- *NEW* 2 Character MGBs! $140 (instead of $150)
(Any MGB but with two characters interacting. Up to you if they're both being affected by the magic or not! Can be romantic or not.)
- Icons (as usual, $45 each!)
- MATCHING icons, in pairs or trios: $80 (instead of $90) for a pair, $120 (instead of $135) for a trio! Can be romantic or platonic.
- Chibi sketches are still $45, but I will also offer 2 character chibi sketches for $80 as well :) Can be romantic or platonic.

I can still make things Valentine's themed if you'd like, but I still can't guarantee they'd be done by the 14th, so just keep that in mind!

FEB IS CLOSED

HI SORRY i have been quiet i will be getting back to everyone who contacted me asap and pushing myself to sit down and chug through stuff, i am here so pls don't worry TuT!!

I do wanna quickly explain why the last few months have been so slow/difficult though, since it's been enough time I can say. I won't go into too much detail but I was going through a separation from a relationship that I had been a part of for 11 years. I am 27, so that was a long, long time for me, and life has been very different and even very very difficult for a while. Me and my ex partner are still friends, so don't worry about anything bad coming from this, but it does take time to heal and so it has put a bit of a block on my ability to focus and motivate myself, however, i am definitely starting to do better and I even found a new partner who has been awesome for me <:) so things are looking up !!!

It can be weird to talk about stuff this personal but I also like to keep you guys updated and stay honest. It's really just been depression and stress holding me back but I aim to get what I need to do done and not stay behind. It's not an excuse at all for falling behind but it's definitely the reason why. But catching up and then maintaining things is an important goal for me right now.

Thank you for keeping tabs on me, i hope everyone is having a lovely december !

HEY it's commission time, I'd like to fill as many slots as possible while I finish up the few coms I still owe (not much, and all have been started already).

For those wondering, the gratitude sketches aren't forgotten about, I'll be working on those alongside coms :] thank you for your patience!! They're on my trello as well if anyone needs to do any peeking.

I'm gonna take MGBS, sketch chibis and icons again! No limit to any, just whatever you want. Just keep in mind everything is still artistic freedom mostly so keep your requests simple ;)

I'm also gonna offer BUNDLE DEALS if you buy two things. In case you want to get something for a friend, or just want more art lol (not judging either way !!)

Here is my T.O.S., make sure to take a peek at that!

ICONS = $45 ($35 if you buy two things!)
SKETCH CHIBIS = $45 ($35 if you buy two things!)
MAGIC GRAB BAGS (Click for info!) = $75 ($65 if you buy two things!)

yes, that means if you buy two things you save a whole $20. very nice offer if i say so myself :]

I'll be trying to open 15 slots this time! Also, if anything is meant as a holiday gift or you want it to be holiday themed, please let me know so I can mark it priority!! Paypal or, idk, kofi if needed? LOL


comment or note for slots!! thank you so much!!

ALSO MY TRELLO!: https://trello.com/b/WJAmt2b4/lividdear

I went quiet for a bit because life was just too much, and I still needed time to recover,

BUT things are finally looking up and I'm healing, and every day seems to get a bit easier,

I'm looking to get back to work asap and i'll be letting you guys know when I'm open again soon, and thank you so much to the people who have been patiently waiting for me <3

i hope everyone has a wonderful day

sorry i should have put this the other day

I'm back from the hospital but I'm not doing the best mentally so I'm sorry if I'm quiet while i try to figure things out

i wish i could say I'm doing better than before but i don't really know if i am

take care of yourselves and thank you for all the kind messages

dark topic ahead but i won't go into detail, still, a warning for that. i just wanted to keep everyone in the know

I'm going to be heading to the hospital and will likely do some inpatient staying there for, idk, i think a week at the most.

i tried to take my life last night and somehow I'm still here, so i guess i need to take care of myself for now.

I'm sorry to anyone this hurts or disappoints. i have so much going on right now. I'm really sorry.

unless i leave early or they deny me for some reason, i'll probably be gone about a week, then.

take care, sorry, and thank you for your patience with me during this time

hello!!

rent is due* and batruse still needs slots taken

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49637436/
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49637436/
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49637436/

i wanna say if you already are commissioning him rn (for november) or you do right now and you pay immediately i will draw you something. some kind of experimental sketch of some kind. it won't look like the sketches i do for commissions and might not be super detailed or anything but free art is free art and i'd try to make it look nice.

if you commission him and pay today and let me know on this journal or in a note i'll double check about that with him and i'll make you something as a free extra.

please consider commissioning, thank you.

alternatively if anyone would like to donate to the ko-fi i just made and might utilize later, i will send whatever is donated there to him myself:
https://ko-fi.com/lividdear

thank you and sorry 🙏

They're really really quality with a background and nice posing and everything. they're absolutely worth getting.

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49637436/
^^^ if you'd like to get a slot

if you're curious about how they turn out, there's a bunch of really amazing examples here:
https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....egal-Ruse-Cafe

Batruse really needs the money/support right now and the art is worth way more if you asked me, so you should consider jumping on it for yourself or someone you love ❤️👍

Hey,

I may also open later in the month but I need to get more work done first after these last two hectic months, however I'm a little short on some things I need so I'm taking 2 quick slots right now.

These are for sketch chibis or icons, both $45 each.

Both are Cell Shaded/Experimental.
- WIPs not (usually) available for icons or sketches.
​- Simple requests or artistic freedom only.
- Designs with high detail or lots of accessories may cost extra.
- May sometimes contain experimental style tweaks!

My T.O.S. is here.

Only icons or sketch chibis for these slots in particular bc they're faster for me and I need faster right now, but I may open more MGBs later.

Icon examples!
Chibi sketch examples (last three if you have nsfw on, last 2 if not)!

If you're interested you can comment below or note me. Paypal only at the moment.

Thank you so much for understanding ❤️

In the past I tried trello but wasn't a big fan because I would forget to update it, but I've grown up a little and wonder if maybe i could give it another shot.

Usually what I do anyway is update my journals to reflect my progress anyway and it probably wouldn't be much different from that...? Just more in one spot I guess.

I couldn't help but notice that people seem to prefer to commission people with trellos + some of my commissioners didn't notice that I update my journals, meaning that isn't obvious enough and maybe I should make some changes.

So yeah, would trello be a good idea then? Or trello alternatives if anyone has any?

(I also want to thank everyone for being patient with me, the last couple months have just not been my months. Hoping the rest of the year will get better so much)

edit: i made one; ty guys for the input
https://trello.com/b/WJAmt2b4/lividdear 👍

hey, i didn't really wanna make a journal again this quickly but stuff happens out of nowhere sometimes

my grandpa died suddenly today, on top of everything else i was going through i just feel really bad. he wasn't even 70 yet so it wasn't really expected at all,

im still going to try and work but i will say i might have to do some work in a weird order especially given the fact that some need to be done before halloween, so i apologize if things get scrambled. i will not be abandoning anyone's commission though i promise

sorry for all the delays and thank you for being patient with me

I was quiet again. A lot has been going on and now I'm starting to try and help myself. I have realized that my life has been run by my trauma and CPTSD and I'm working on getting better.

Maybe another time I'll get more into it, but for now I feel motivated to work and I owe people stuff, so I'm not gonna waste time typing when I have things I need to do.

But thank you all for being patient with me and I'll try to get back to people ASAP. If I haven't yet I will very soon. Thank you.
