Gotta go where the people are, I suppose. Don't worry - I'm not leaving here! But as I am thinking of archiving my DeviantArt I thought BlueSky was a good alternative. I'm still very green to it (I never was a fan of X/Twitter so it's a different area for me) but I'm going to try!!

So back in April, at the end of the month, I had surgery on my foot. I was out of work for two weeks, one week being unpaid. I was supposed to go back last week, however my doctor wants me to specifically sit down during my shifts. But my job doesn't have any sitting positions as I work retail. I asked about having a stool at the registers but HR says it's a hazard and it can't be allowed.

So I'm off for another week, unpaid!!! That being said... commissions are open, I am open for anything and everything.

I'm reachable on Discord, so feel free to add me if you're interested in commissioning me!

LOL is it bad i actually like the comic sans font tho...... im being so serious rn

Heya!! I'm open for anything and everything (excluding NSFW) for commissions. I'm getting surgery on my foot at the end of April and I'm in a debt hole I'd like to get out of, so I want to raise as much as I can.

If you're interested in a commission, please be aware that my turnaround time is roughly 2 months, and after I get surgery it may be longer. I will always communicate with you on the status of your piece and show you WIPs along the way!

Send me a note or add me on Discord!

https://whysomelxncholy.carrd.co/#

I made a discord art server that is free to join for anyone! Chill, hangout, and follow my artwork! I post WIPs, offer free doodles, and other stuff I can't really do here (for activity)

I've had a Ko-fi account for a while and I finally added my commission services to my shop! Come take a look, my slots are indefinitely open!

https://ko-fi.com/whysomelancholy/commissions

Not sure how to start this one. Basically I'm thinking of opening for NSFW commissions, though I've not done them before. I've always been a SFW artist, but lately I've wanted to expand my work into new territory.

How much should I charge for them, since I'm primarily a SFW artist and NSFW is not something I'd normally do or consider. What's a 'normal' rate for something like this?

Bank account is in the negatives, so I'm open for anything and everything! TAT is roughly 2-3 months. Note me if you're interested!

https://whysomelxncholy.carrd.co/#commissions

HEY ALL! I am open again for commissions :D I'll put it out here now: If you want to get holiday gifts, now is the PERFECT time to order!!

A few small changes though:

-I no longer offer cheebs. I simply don't enjoy doing them as much as I used to. My "Littles" are replacing them!
-The bundle options are now over, everything is regular price. Keep an eye out for future deals!
-Due to my real life job getting busier, my TAT is pushed to 3 months instead of two.

Thank you, and I look forward to drawing for you!!

heya, you guys may have noticed there's been a halt in my art production recently!! sorry ive gone awol, i just hit an art block due to some RL issues that have been going on. i hope to have all orders finished by the time i leave for my trip to disney world!! if it so happens that i am not done with them by then, they will simply be finished when i get back. right now i'm going to do my best to complete them.

thank you for everyone's patience and understanding.

Open for commissions!! Please view my site for prices and my TOS. If you are interested, you can contact me via discord as I do not check my notes often. My discord is alliababwa2939!

I offer a variety of services, from sketches to full reference sheets.

I am in the process of working on my current batch; everything is sketched and currently being outlined and colored. As always, you can check my trello to see where you stand in the queue and the progress of your commission.

Thank you for your support and patience!!

a small update, apologies ive been quiet and inactive!!
i've been really busy with trying to balance work and somewhat of a social life and i am not at home as often as i usually am, been staying at my bf's place most nights. i've had some more car trouble, which thankfully got resolved, and my laptop has been acting up a lot more. basically its been restarting itself and it takes a long time to get going after it restarts. so my patience is very thin atm because when i want to work on commissions i have to wait lmao.

i have an order due at the end of this month and hopefully i can get the next batch sketched in time... it's just very busy and i may extend my turnaround time to 3 months again. just a heads up!

i am still taking commission slots until august! after august i will open commissions again for the holidays. thank you for everyone's patience!!

I've added reference sheets to my website! I think I found a good starting point. They are now open!

https://whysomelxncholy.carrd.co/#commissions

Sooo I need some help with pricing! I'd like to start taking ref sheet commissions again but I'm not sure what to price them for! About 7 years ago I charged $20 for a simple ref with a side view, name/info, and color dots. Any additions would be an extra $5, such as headshots, outfits, accessories, personality traits, zoom-ins, etc. I know this is veryyyy cheap but I was a younger artist back then and I feel like my work has improved over the years.

I was thinking about charging $120 for a starter price, that would include a side view, name/info, and color dots. Any add-ons would be... I was thinking an extra $15-$20?? I'm not even sure what ref sheets even go for nowadays. Any advice?

Some examples:

I'm bored and I feel like I should introduce myself a bit more over here, so I searched through my old DA for some fun "get to know you" memes lmao. I won't tag or mention anyone lmao

There were some questions on here that I deleted because I didn't want to answer them.

What's your name?
Real name: Allison
Nickname: Alli
FA name: why-so-melancholy

Do you know why you're named that?
For my real name, my dad named me so I've no idea tbh, my middle name is my great-great grandmother's name though. If this question meant my FA username, "why so melancholy" comes from that one scene in Sleeping Beauty when Maleficent visits Prince Phillip in the dungeon and basically tells him she's going to keep him there for 100 years before she sets him free to break Aurora's curse.

Single or taken?
Taken by a wonderful man!

Preferred ability or special power?
Probably to turn invisible or shapeshift.

Hair color?
My hair is naturally a chestnut brown but right now it's black with maroon underneath.

Pets?
Two cats; Jade and Billy! Jade is black with a tiny white dot on her chest and she has bright green eyes, Billy is orange and white.

Hobbies?
I enjoy watching movies, crocheting, drawing, writing, and sometimes I paint but I'm not very good lmao

What kind of animal are you?
Hmm... I mean my fursona is a fennec fox but he's my fursona for a different reason than the fact I like fennec foxes. I think if I were an animal I'd be a red panda tbh. They're cute, clumsy, and SMALL. And they like to eat.

What are some of your worst habits?
I procrastinate a lot.
I cannot stay quiet about things that upset me.
I have trichitillomania, which is a fancy word for I pull my hair out as a nervous tic.

Sexuality?
Straight.

Do you go to school?
Nope, I graduated community college in 2019! I would like to go back to school and get a Bachelor's degree in art but I'm not sure it's worth it.

Ever want to get married and have kids?
Married, sure. Children, I'm on the fence about. At this point in time, no I don't want kids.

What are you afraid of?
I hate clowns, spiders, and the dark. I also dread losing people I love, whether to death or actually walking out of my life forever. I don't like being alone.

What's your style of clothing?
FLANNEL SHIRTS AND JEANS. T-shirts and hoodies and sweaters. Cozy comfy!!

What's one food that tempts you?
I love pasta... and I'm always down for a good burger.

Favorite drink?
I am convinced Mountain Dew Livewire has replaced my bloodstream.

Are you interested in anyone?
Nah, I'm in a committed relationship. The only person that interests me is my hunny

Would you rather swim in the lake or the ocean?
I'd swim in the ocean. I'm more afraid of rivers and lakes lmao

A good friend of mine has to get surgery for their senior cat, Bibbit. They are trying to raise funds for the procedure in April. Bibbit has a cyst that got infected and also needs her teeth removed. Anything helps, and they will do art for you in return! I am unable to donate so I'm sharing their link to hopefully get them some help!

You can find their DA here!

I'll do a sketch for anyone who donates. <3
