Hey people, the title says it all! Who are some of your favorite artists to commission? I like getting icons and smaller pieces more-so than bigger more expensive pics, but honestly anyone will do. I also don't care about waiting for art, so if they have a longer turn-around no worries.

Ooo, and if you have anyone who likes exotics or monsters plop them in especially. I have non-standard characters generally speaking XD

Tagged by breeducky! Decided it would be the perfect thing to post on here. :)

RULES :
1. Pick one of your OCs. or as many you want.
2. Fill in the questions/statements as if you were your OC.
3. Tag at least four people to do this meme!
4. Tell people that they been tagged with a link from your journal (I didn't do this... you'll see why.) XD

I'll pick Wooper, my axolotl character. :)

1. What is your name?
“Wooper! I am an axolotl.”

2. Do you know why you were named that?
Wooper looks up in the air, thoughtfully, and then presses her small fingers together. “...no!”

3. Single or taken?
Wooper looks at you, aghast. “Like... with a man? Axolotl? Who does that!?” Wooper apparently is not much of a relationship kind of lady.

4. Have any abilities or powers?
“I can swim, and I have TEETH!” Wooper peels back her lips to show a rather alarming number of shiny white chompers, none of them aligned quite correctly. You don't think this is normal for an axolotl.

5. Stop being a Mary Sue!
Plucking a stray something off of her skin Wooper doesn't seem to be listening. “Who?”

6. What's your eye color?
“BROWN!” Wooper scrunches her nose and looks rather disgruntled at the confession.

7. How about hair color?
“Who wants to swim with HAIR!?” Wooper flicks her gills and then fiddles with the strands. “Maybe red for my gills?” Wooper looks down at herself, obviously confused about whether gills, though in the correct area of the head, can indeed be counted as hair

8. Have you any family members?
“Axolotls don't really pay attention to their family, hatching from eggs and all,” Wooper says bluntly. She seems almost proud about it.

9. Oh? How about pets?
Wooper's eyes light up and she rummages around, finally pulling out a rather weak looking snail from who knows where. “Does this count? I call him Peapod.”

10. That's cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don't like.
Wooper scrunches up her face and drops the snail. You wince as it clunks onto the floor. “People who don't listen to me!” she snarls. Her tail curls and she turns her back to you, huffing.

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
Wooper peaks over her shoulder at you, silent. “Ignoring people,” she finally spits out. How saucy.

12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?
Wooper lets the question percolate for a moment and then sighs. “Well...” she mumbles, suddenly looking guilty. “I suppose ignoring people is kind of hurtful.” She slowly turns herself back around. “So sometimes.”

13. Ever… killed anyone before?
Wooper gnashes her teeth and then giggles. You aren't too convinced.

14. What kind of animal are you?
“I already told you that...” she says slowly, brow furrowing. Maybe you shouldn't ask again.

15. Name your worst habits.
Wooper presses her nose up into the air and then sniffs thoughtfully. “Well, I do leave socks around a bit. And I guess I forget to do things sometimes. Peapod knows that.” The snail, still laying pitifully on the ground, wobbles.

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?
Wooper glances around the room, eyes fixing on a few posters and other odds and ends. After a few moments she seems to get distracted with some food from earlier. You decide to move on.

17. Are you gay, straight, or bisexual?
“Ackk” Wooper spits out her food and stares at you. You get the feeling that maybe Wooper doesn't really have a whole lot of brain space for that kind of thing. How do axolotls reproduce again?

18. Do you go to school?
“Naw,” the axolotl says, very matter-of-fact. “You need parents for that.”

19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?
Wooper appears to think very hard about this question. “I don't think I'd really know them enough to care, either way.” This seems like a pretty accurate statement, considering.

20. Do you have fangirls/fanboys?
“I really like tail fluff!” Wooper says, her eyes lighting up. Though this doesn't quite answer the question, you imagine that fluff would probably like something as cute as this amphibian. If it were conscious, of course.

21. What are you most afraid of?
“Love,” the axolotl mumbles. Her eyes take on a haunted look, so you decide not to press the question. Perhaps all that talk about not knowing what relationships are about was a bit of a lie?

22. What do you usually wear?
“Clothes are not really good things to swim in.”

23. What's one food that tempts you?
The axolot's mouth drops open a few inches as her eyes glaze over. “Oooh, once I caught a big fat worm. It was sooo juicy and delicious, I was full for days!” A stern look suddenly overtakes her. “Those are quite rare you know.” You nod.

24. What class are you (low class, middle class, high class)?
“Like I said, I never went to school!” Wooper blurts, annoyed.

25. How many friends do you have?
“Well,” the amphibian says, her mouth widening in a smile. “More friends then I know what to do with! I don't know why they like me so much.” She sighs and plops down onto the floor. “And a lot of them are very fluffy.”

26. What are your thoughts on pie?
“Fish pie?” Wooper runs her tongue over her teeth. “Oooh, cockroach pie. No no, WORM PIE!” She continues mumbling and then trails off, so you decide to move on.

27. Favorite drink?
Wooper looks at you, confused. “...water?” I guess drinking anything else as an aquatic amphibian would be kind of odd.

28. What's your favorite place?
“Sitting on a big leaf on a nice sunny day, the rays coming down through the water... nothing better than that.”

29. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?
“AN OCEAN WOULD KILL ME!” Wooper's gills curl in fright, and you decide that question was probably in poor taste.

30. Camping or indoors?
“A good rock cave is good enough for me,” Wooper says, puffing out her chest.

31. Are you interested in anyone?
Wooper looks down, sad.

32. That was a stupid question.
No response.

33. What's your type?
Wooper snarls and bares her teeth.

34. Any fetishes?
Hissing she leaps at you, teeth just barely missing your face. Unfortunately her grabby hands manage to attach to your shoulder and you flinch as she scuttles up your back, awkwardly.

35. Seme or uke-
You attempt to finish the question but are cut off as Wooper buries her teeth into your flesh. Screaming you attempt to shake the small amphibian from your neck, but she just clamps on harder, blood squirting strongly from your jugular. “Acckk!” you manage to wheeze, and blood comes bubbling up out of your mouth – the metal taste and smell overpowering your senses as your vision blurs, unfocused.

Perhaps when you asked Wooper if she killed anyone, you judged her too quickly...

Hey guys! I decided to make use of this account to showcase all of my own personal commissions that I've gathered over the years. :) I am kind of a picky commissioner (in terms of who I choose to buy art from), so I tend to only get work from artists that I think have reasonable prices, a cool style, and/or a good grasp of anatomy. (So the long and short of it is.... I'm frugal.) v.v

That said, I LOVE getting art when my budget can swing it! What a fun feeling to send someone some money and then wait for the whatever surprise they create for me. For that same reason I'm ALL over artistic freedom, so prepare yourselves! There will be lots of different kinds of characters, art, and styles to show you all as I upload. :D

Finally, I'm also using this as an excuse to stretch my writing fingers! Like most people on FA I've always had a passion for writing, but with my current job (which is making art for all of you lovely folks!) I don't get a whole lot of time to write like I used to. So, why not type out some little blurbs for the art I commission when an idea strikes me? And then upload it here for you all to enjoy! (Or hopefully enjoy.) Seems like a win-win to me. :3

So that's about it! I'm a multi-character kind of lady so please check out my profile info to see who all I get commissions of. And, if I'm ever waiting on art I'll be sure to make use of the journal footer to keep you (and myself!) up to date. Thank you to anyone who peruses this account; in a way it's my TRUE personal space and so I appreciate whoever stops by. :D
