Hi all! I’ve got an important announcement regarding commissions.

For personal reasons, I am no longer offering sexually explicit comms. This may change in the future, but for now I will not draw any genitalia, sexual nudity, or penetration of any kind.

This does not mean that I will stop doing kinky commissions! Coils and hypno etc are still welcome, but any art involving snakes may require fully clothed characters, depending on context.

And you may still see me draw smut on my socials, so I hope you keep enjoying that. I’m doing okay, I just need to take a step back for a bit.
Thank you for understanding!

Just a little journal to say that commissions are indeed going to open again on the 18th of May!

There will be limited slots on larger comms (cell shaded and full render) but lots more for smaller comms like animated avatars, sketches, experimental etc.

I might also close the forms earlier because I want to do a summery, tropical and snakey themed YCH as well, and I don't want to miss the best time of year for it!

Just brushing off the dust on my journal to not apologise for all the OC x BG3 art, and to inform you that it's going to keep coming. Genuinely delighted to look at my gallery and see how well I've been treating myself on this latest artistic upswing.

I've got some commissions I'll be uploading at some point, possibly in the late half of november as I'm going on a nice vacation soon :)

I'm just gonna go through a bunch of old stuff and upload it to here, I've been really lazy posting things outside of twitter

I've completely given up on Deviantart btw, not the best audience over there lmao

Hi all, I'm running a raffle over on twitter as thanks for 1500 followers. It ends on the 8th of September, and there will only be one winner.

Best of luck, and thank you for following me!

I'm opening for icon commissions! I've got three types on offer, and you can see the types in more detail here:
https://t.co/HadIxFJqZP

If you want to commission me, please use this form to submit your request and I'll get back to you: https://forms.gle/q93jVMGRUCNSy17x7

This is my first time using these forms so let me know if it's missing anything!

I'm gonna open for about 4 slots of each type so get em while they're hot!

EDIT - Animated Icon slots are full up! I've still got a few slots for chibi ones and plenty for butt icons~

I'm gonna be off on holiday for about 2 weeks tomorrow so I won't be logging in on here until I get back! You might be able to catch me on twitter, but I'll be pretty busy.

After a generally positive consensus I guess I’ll be opening commissions again! Before then I need to make new commission sheets with updated art and prices, so stay tuned (> v 0)

If I opened commissions, but with the understanding that it may take months for me to get them done?

One of the reasons I feel uncomfortable opening them is knowing I barely have time or energy to work on them, and in the worst case it has taken up to 6 months or probably more for me to complete a commission since the slot was claimed. I'm sure you guys know from experience how long it takes for me to make and upload art these days. I've had some YCH stuff sketches up for the longest time but I haven't wanted to post them because of this worry about taking too long.

Also, I will be increasing my prices and not offering certain types of commission any more.
Most notably I won't be doing any more complex animated icons, but regular animated icons will stay the same. I'm also considering retiring the Hypnotized Encounter YCH as I've done plenty of those by now, might reopen it for special occasions.
I can't say for certain how much I'll be bumping the price but it's an estimated $5-10 increase to all of them.

So yeah, let me know what you think!

Some of you might remember this guy from my tumblr:

https://78.media.tumblr.com/73817c0.....r7dgip_540.png

I’m absolutely struggling to get the colours and patterns on him that I’d like, so I’m considering doing a unique adoptable auction for him!

He’d go up as a greyscale base, and the winner of the auction gets to decide what his colours and patterns would be! I feel it would be easier to follow a design someone has in mind, and the winner would get to customise the adopt to their own personal tastes. At higher bids you'd be getting more parts of his reference sheet, like a closeup of his mouth and dicks, as well as an animated icon showing his hypnotic hood in action!

Lemme know what you think!

Sudden urge to do an art trade where we take each other’s characters and turn them into a different species - so like taking one of my nagas and turning them into a drider or merperson. Anyone up for this? I’m afraid I’m gonna be a bit picky as I’m only planning on doing one or maybe two of these.

I'm currently not taking any complex animated icon commissions. When/if I open up those again, they will be more expensive as they take a lot of time and effort to make. I'm also currently not taking any regular illustration commissions, apart from people who have been on reserve since last time I opened up. I'll be contacting them privately to see if they are still interested. I will also be giving slot priority to people who have previously inquired for a commission but I was not open at the time.

Lets do another commission stream, same as before, except this time I’m taking sketch commissions too.
$15 for a flat colour bust
$10 for a flat colour animated icon (with minimal highlights)
$25 for a regular animated icon
$10 for a fullbody sketch, +$5 per extra character.
$15 for coloured fullbody sketch, +$7 per extra character.

Hey guys, doing another one of those icon and flat shade bust streams, same as before (more info here http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8422726/)

HOWEVER this time I am offering two kinds of icon commissions.
The streams made me realize how much time I put into icons and how much I earn per hour for them, so I've upped their price slightly. BUT I am also offering a much cheaper flat colour option for icons, which should be much faster to produce and be much more affordable for a lot of people.

$10 for a flat colour animated icon (with minimal highlights)
$25 for a regular animated icon

Otherwise my prices are the same as before.

DOUBLE EDIT - If I manage to get through these really quick I might open up for round 2
EDIT - Also, I should mention you need to get me the info and references for the character you want within 24 hours of claiming a slot. They're speedy comms for a reason.

I wanna earn some quick dollar so I'm opening up simple (not complex) animated icon slots. They cost $20 each, and I've listed some previous examples below.

Also, if you're interested, for $30 you can get an animated bust commission in the style of the image below. It comes with animated eyes/visor etc, and one simply animated element (e.g. music notes, text, etc). I can put in squeezing coils, but they will only be simple in-out squeezes, and won't affect the rest of the image. I'll only be taking a maximum of two of these types of commission for these slots.

One slot per customer!

Heads up, got a big YCH with lots of slots coming up this week! I've not tried something this ambitious before so I hope it goes well.
EDIT - I should also mention that there will be 8 slots going at $20 each - flat colour

Thanks everyone for your interest! I've had to limit it to 4 people although I'd love to do more, this is just to I can make sure that I don't overdo it.

Trade list:
- Geekgirl8
- Lmann
- Zuli
- Snakepersonjack

I’m feeling thirsty for some art trades or collabs, hit me up with a note if you’re interested! I’d be happy to trade/collab for writing too.

I can also do an adoptable design in return for art/writing!

Stuff involving OCs or my usual interests (hypnosis, demons, nagas, that sort of thing) is more likely to win me over.

Argh, I was meant to post on here that I got a new job recently, hence why I'm so incredibly quiet lately. Doesn't help that I got sick over the holiday season >:I

I'll try to get back on the wagon and post more content soon!

Note me with the type of commission you'd like and what it would involve! Regular slots can be anything from sketch commissions, to character designs, to fully shaded commissions with 5 characters in one picture! (okay, maybe not that much). If there's something you'd like that's not on the commission sheet, note me and we can discuss it and arrange a price. I'll update the slots as I go.

It'll probably take me a long time to work through all these so please be patient!

The moment you've been waiting for...is coming later this week.

I'll be opening up a bunch of commission slots (for regular commissions and icon commissions) as well as open up the slots for the Hypnotic Encounter YCH again. 2 of them (might) be taken up already from a client who didn't manage to get in last time, leaving just 4 left for the YCH.

I'm also using a new commission sheet with updated prices and services, so the one currently in my gallery won't be accurate.

I'm going to probably end up being a bit choosy with commissions as they're only limited slots, and I'm going to make an effort not leave out Furaffinity as well. I'm also going to give priority to certain people who have been waiting a while already and missed their change last time I was open.

So unless some huge event comes up in my life, expect commissions to open at the weekend!

If anyone wants a simple animated icon commission hit me up, I'm free for those all the time pretty much.
I'm not yet open for the complex ones as they require much more time which I don't have currently.

Prices have gone up a bit ($15), check the link for more info - http://scalesandspirals.deviantart......Info-560045626

And some examples of simple icons I've done in the past -

And of course I'm always open to doing a non-animated icon - they're $10

Just updating the journal so I don't have the YCH thing hanging around.

Hi all, I just finished my last year of university. Yay! Now I have to hunt for jobs! Boo!

Which is why I'm gonna start up a YCH auction next week. I want to earn some money as a buffer for the inevitable celebrations/joblessness that comes with ending uni, and I don't have the time to open up for commissions yet. The lack of commissions is because there's so many people that want one (not that I'm complaining! It's wonderful that you like my work!) that I get stressed out and worry about taking on more than I can handle, especially with how I can't stay on this account 24/7 because of real life. I'm hoping this auction will help with that, and it gives me a bit of freedom to decide how I want the image to look!

Some info on how this will work:

-This will be an image will feature a humanoid character and a 'snake'. The 'snake' can be anything from a Naga to Kaa because you don't actually see their face, only their coils. They could even be some sort of tentacle thing if you so wished.

- Blue The humanoid character can be any gender.

- The humanoid character can't be furry. They can be a non-'vanilla' human (e.g. demon, genie, animal ears etc).

- It can be either a smut or sfw picture, or both at a higher price.

- It can also have hypnosis, or not!

- The final image will be fully shaded and coloured.

- A background won't be included in the picture price.

- The starting bid will be set at $35, and there will be an autobuy option at $70. Minimum $3 bid increase.


I've got other artwork I'll be finishing up and posting here, but before then I'll be doing this auction. I'll probably have it over 5 days and it'll end then or when the highest bid has not risen in 24 hours.

TL;DR I'm doing a YCH auction next week, will also be finishing and uploading old stuff
