hey! i just realized down time might last up to two days, and i haven't been active enough on FA to really recognize if the day to two day estimate of down time is likely or not, so JUST IN CASE i figured i'd let you all know that you can pretty much always catch me updating on tumblr, and can always always ask me things there.

if down time does last two days, i will probably continue posting finished iron artist commissions there before i get the chance to post them here! if you have a tumblr and don't really want to follow my blog (i rant about things sometimes etc.), but you'd like to potentially see your commission over there during downtime here, you can track the tag #blizzydraws! i tag EVERYTHING i draw with it, so.

and i might have posted about it before but it ends TODAY so if anyone was thinking about bidding before now is the time to do it!

it's a collab between the always awesome tortle and pinstripedtiger and thEY DO FABULOUS COLLABORATIVE STUFF, WOW, I CAN'T SHRIEK IN TO THE NIGHT ABOUT IT ENOUGH

you should definitely look at this auction LOOK AT IT GO GO GO!
and these are the perks!

all spots for my first round of iron artist have been filled by some really fantastic people, thank you so so much for your interest guys!

next round's theme will probably be "red", and if you messaged me with refs this round (prior to this journal) but didn't get in because slots were full, you get dibs for next round, if you're interested!

thinking i'll do iron artist, but i would really like to see if there would be interest before i type everything up!

i'd be doing them in this style, for the set price of $20 USD, but with a no edits rule (they'd be posted as soon as they're finished, but anatomy mistakes would be fixed of course!)

i'd likely try to maintain a strict one week turn around, so i'd probably take payment up front. thus far all examples (though simple characters) have only taken about an hour total so a round of ten people could be finished in five days, if not sooner! which means i'd probably take payment up front??

ALSO i'm debating a "don't specify clothes" rule so i can have a color theme per round?? or a clothing theme??

really would appreciate input if anyone is interested /w\;;; sorry i have so many journals like this

i'm considering doing an iron/bronze/whatever artist run in the near future, as soon as all current commissions are cleared out

i'd tried a couple years ago but my life was still a pretty serious mess and i was burning myself out really easily, so now i'm thinking of retrying without stressing myself out like i did before

i'd probably do each round with a theme but i'm kind of undecided on what i'd start with, maybe vary between outfit themes, and color themes??

SO i was talking with tortle about this and it got us to thinking

if we did some general line refs for people to color in, of the most common furry species, would you guys be interested in buying them for your personal (IE. you cannot color it and sell it as a design for sale) use?

we'd probably do things like wolf, fox, cat, or possibly some dog breeds, i'll have to discuss it with jay further since i would be doing the sketches but she'd be doing the lines! we would be keeping them pretty accurate to the species, probably, so wolves would look like wolves etc.

thoughts???

prior journal removed, that got way the hell out of hand

my feelings on the matter are not even a question of legality, it was more regarding respecting the artist and having some moral decency

we are not doing that again. we've established who feels what, and to be frank if you disagree with them, don't do business with them. i would appreciate if you just don't do business with me if you don't want to respect my requests or ToS, or cannot act professional.

i am actually going to bed now, goodnight FA, stay classy

i have a bunch of anthro/humanoid designs to work with and will hopefully have posted in the next couple of days, rest assured your suggestions from the other day have not been unheard!!

all i've been doing for like three days is drawing and it actually feels really great?? i've been working on commissions and designs to sell and adoptables and i neeeed to make some new commission examples so i can organize a new sheet as soon as i finish this batch of commissions

i'm thinking of keeping up the bust + waist up commissions, but i'd also like to find a loose, fun way to do full body commissions for a decent price since i am trying to save up for a trip and some other things in october u 3u is there anything specific you guys might like to see from me in regards to commission types (excluding things like 'lineart' because i just don't do that, haha, sorry)??

HEY for anthro adoptables, what species would you like to see?

please only suggest species that you would actually be interested in buying if they were available and you had the funds, because while i would love to work on designs that are more obscure and just for practice, i have several figures right now that i'd like to finish designing and sell.

i am all for fantasy creatures and species combos, i'm just trying to avoid "generic wolf thing", so feel free to suggest mammals or reptiles or birds or fantasy creatures

OR MAYBE I'LL JUST MAKE THEM ONI-STYLE DEMONS IDK

(also i'll be spending most of the day on commission work but i am really anxious and shaky right now so my plans were to use these to calm down and steady my hands, rest assured if you're listed as a top priority than you are definitely top priority today!)

IDC THAT I HAVE ONE IN THE HEADER OF MY JOURNAL i need to make a list that is readily visible, including the recent bust shots etc.

★ = paid, priority
☆ = sent invoice/payment request

- vincentvontrap - pose auction - sketched!/laying flats to send out - ★ - top priority
- taka - pose auction - sent WIP - ★ - top priority
- kijito - undies - done - ★ - top priority
- pinstripedtiger - waist up - sent flats
- capersaurus (tumblr) - bust - sent flats
- badkittyamy - bust - done - ★
- friend (tumblr) - bust - done - ★
- kijito - waist up???

I THINK THIS IS EVERYONE but if i'm missing you, please please let me know! i've dug through all my messaging systems and these are the only clients i've found, but that doesn't mean i didn't accidentally delete anything, so if you're sure we agreed to something but you're not here just let me know!

I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS AUCTION

tortle and pinstripedtiger EXCUSE ME BUT I??? LOVE??? THIS COMBO??? aaaahhhhh i am really stoked to see the finished product!!

you should definitely go check it out if you're thinking of investing in some really gorgeous art from two very skilled artists

i am not biased just because jay and i are ridiculously close and i have been a fan of stormy for quite a while now what are you talking about shhhh these two make beautiful things together, that is just a fact, i mean frickin look at the example goddamn

(screams about this auction and goes to work on commissions gdi)

i just realized she hadn't sold, so if you're interested let me know!

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11316745/

not that i don't appreciate the sudden influx of watchers (because i really do!) but like

where did you guys all suddenly come from????

hey!! just letting commissioners know i will not be working on anything today, and will probably not be responding to messages all day either! today is tortle's bday and i'm going to take the day to do whatever we want to do, basically (draw our characters doin it whatever).

i've currently got two pose auctions to finish (you'll be getting notes tomorrow or the day after, don't worry!)
i've also got busts for several people that i need to organize in to a proper list. i am still taking busts or waist up commissions! if you're interested, please refer to this journal, but keep in mind i probably won't really be responding to things until tomorrow.

thanks for your patience everyone, and for just generally bein great, i appreciate it!

they're $10 for a basic character, may include an additional $5-$10 depending on character complexity (complex markings/tattoos, more than two basic horns, complicated or difficult headwear, excess jewelry, complicated hair, etc.).
i will inform you if the extra charges may apply before i send a payment request, and give you an opportunity to change to a different character if the cost is too high for you!

these commissions will include:
-(busts & icons) no sketch WIPs unless requested; you will have minor (no angle changes, or big expression alterations, but i will make detail adjustments or add slight details like piercings if i missed them) edit options when the commission is finished!
-(busts & icons) a background color or pattern; you may choose this or leave it up to me and i will do what i think is best
-(busts & icons) full color and shading
-(icons only) a slightly-smaller-than-working-size image, likely around 400x400, AND 100x100 icon
-(busts only) a collarbones and up image of your character, basically. maybe a little below the collarbones. somewhere around there.

i will draw people of all races and genders, human-like (demons etc.) creatures, and all sorts of animals! i am honestly willing to draw anything i can find a reference for. 8)
i will not draw fanart or real people, though i AM happy to work from photo references for facial structure or hair references!

that's honestly all i can think of for details on these??? IF YOU'RE INTERESTED please note me with the specific commission type you'd like (bust OR icon), visual references (you may supplement refs with photos for hair or face or marking references or jewelry or whatever! that's absolutely fine!), and your paypal address. uvu if there's anything you're unsure of please feel free to ask, i am happy to help.

oh right also bust example, and icon example which you can see in action on the commissioner's blog!

i've currently got about two of these?? so i'm willing to take on a few more while i work on pose auction winner commissions!

i was debating doing some busts for $10 or so, probably something like this?? would anyone be interested in those?

or doing waist up commissions like this for maybe $18????

ugh idk if any of this is of any interest to anyone, please feel free to suggest commission types you'd like to see, i'd love to take on more commission work. i've currently got about five to do (human design that i'm mostly done with, an undies commission, the auction pieces that i've got sketched out) and i'm looking to pick up more but i'm really not too sure what people here are interested in, so ideas are welcome!

edit;; okay if you are interested in either of these commissions, please drop me a note with details/refs AND your paypal address! i probably won't do anything porny/kink-oriented but topless is ok for the waist up commissions, i'm cool with that. multiple horns (more than two), complicated markings/tattoos, wings, etc., will cost extra, aaand i don't draw fanart. but otherwise rules?? what rules???

(basically just copying/pasting from tumblr! sorry if anything sounds off/weird. i'll probably edit them further once i've finished current undies/lingerie commissions. 8) )

these will be done a bit differently (looser style, more illustrative poses) but you can see previous undies commissions here!

they’re $30 USD right now (payment via paypal, i'll send you a payment request), +$10 for more than two/complex horns, complex tattoos/markings, wings, etc. i’ll let you know ahead of time if i think your commission might warrant the extra $10 for whatever reason.

i’m going to use my previous rules because i don’t feel like typing up new ones for these or rewriting my more recent ones because they sound terrifying, so!

will draw:

---humans, and all things humanoid, kemonomimi, nagas, satyrs
---all genders, all shapes, all sizes!
---complete nudity (they will be posed to block anything below the belt)(<-- i can't decide if i'm still going with that rule or not)
---dudes in frilly things! completely topless chicks! nipple jewelry! crossdressing! thigh highs!

won’t draw:

---full body clothes (bootyshorts & miniskirts are okay, ask about anything else!)
---real people (though you can use photos as a reference), fanart
---kinky things unless your kink is sexy sexy underwear/lingerie/thigh highs, nipple piercings, or naked people?? do naked people count as a kink
---i will not draw hyper, sorry!

please email me at blizzycommissions[at]gmail.com or note me here if you’re interested! you’ll be expected to pay up front, i’ll send you a payment request!

i have about an hour before i need to clean up the house and i'm still kinda wakin up

let's see how many ladies i can sketch before i clean??

(only post one character with a clear visual ref, i might not do all refs posted, no hyper, i can't guarantee characters won't be naked so nsfw refs are ok, i am more likely to opt for uncommon body types if they are posted! also quick edit because please don't use photobucket links my computer disagrees with photobucket for some reason??)

thank you guys for your refs! i'll only be drawing for people who actually read the one character thing, and i've drawn three already, but there are a couple more of you i'd like to draw for. we'll see what i can do! thank you guys.

HEY hey as a heads up, i'm going to be doing undies commissions (i'll post a thorough commission post about this with previous examples just to get the idea across, though i'll be doing them a bit differently now) very very soon, as in like i intend to start taking pre-posed undies/lingerie commissions -tonight-.

these will be some of the poses i'll be selling, idk if all at once or not! they'll be $40-$50 USD a piece, since they'll be shaded etc.

i'll post more info tonight i just wanted to say that if you were waiting for those i will be opening them later. @v@;; so look for that at some point tonight?? probably late, since i'm going to bed late.

also i hate old journals on my page ahaha

i've debated doing ref sheet lineart for a while for basic, typical character species (dog, cat, fox, wolf, etc.) and selling them for non-commercial use

but i don't know if this would be a good idea or not?? i'd love some opinions on the idea!

livestreaming a couple underwear commissions (one female, one male!! prior plans changed so)

join me if you want! but please don’t make creepy comments/talk about anything triggering/bring up recent news that might cause arguments thank

http://www.livestream.com/dreamparade

livestream seems like it might work tonight, would anyone be interested?

i'll probably be mostly drawing topless/half naked guys in lingerie or stockings or whatever if i'm left to my own devices, but i might be persuaded in to doing a couple quick, scribbly undies commissions for around $20 USD if anyone is interested in that

undies commissions are basically just, like, your character has to only be in underwear/lingerie??
no wings/multiple horns (max of 2 horns, pls)
must have an image ref that isn't hosted on photobucket oh gosh please photobucket hates my computer a lot
you can choose the underwear/lingerie or leave it up to me tbh i am good with either option!!

ANYWAY if this is of interest to anyone please let me know!! if this may be an interesting deal for you in the future, please let me know as i would seriously consider doing commission streams if that's the case

thinking of doing little backgrounds for the pose auctions? maybe at my own discretion, really

just generally feeling kind of bad artistically lately and i feel like i really need to push myself to work on things i'm uncomfortable with right now

hrrfff i'll think on this

sorry i haven't posted anything recently!

i haven't forgotten anyone/anything i have just been visiting family for the past couple of weeks, and haven't had much time to do anything serious. i've been hopping from couch to couch nearly nightly, haha. but i'm working on things right now, and i will be flying home on the 14th (though won't be up to doing much of anything until probably the day after, especially since i think i get in at midnight).

right now i have a kitsune human design (top priority, and working on it right now) to finish, a naga, and those last two warmup images, plus a trade. i also want to do human designs for my last two pibble adoptables so i can sell them with those. working on these slowly right now, and sorry for the delays! but thank you for your patience
