Hi there! Commissions are open again. I'll be looking over them and taking ideas with no deadline this time. Instead, I'll close them once I feel I have too much to work on at the moment. Details are in my commissions tab and below. I hope to work with some of you.

Glad that I've been able to find steady ideas in two weeks, and I hope I can make it a third! I'll be opening up commissions a bit earlier but still waiting until Sunday for any last minute phone-ins. It will be 2 slots again. In the meantime, I think I found a way to pump out some of my own ideas so I hope to be keeping up a consistent upload schedule for at least a while.

I hope to work with a couple of you.

I've finished this week's of commissions and want to thank again the couple of people I worked with. I'll be opening up commissions for next week today because, like it'll be from now on, I will be accepting commissions based on personal and comfort level. I'll be taking ideas starting today and making my choice by Sunday night to start working on them throughout the week. Once again, it will be 2 slots.

I hope to work with a couple of you.

UPDATE: Slots are taken! Thank you for the requests this time around.

I'm pretty thankful that I got some commission work last week even after not doing commissions or submitting work in literally years lol. Thank you again to the guys that gave me the work.

Once again, I'll be opening up commissions for this week. Like last week, it'll only be 2 slots and commissions will be accepted through preference and order taken rather than just order again. I'm thinking of keeping manageable slots like this for now so I can continue to work on my own projects more.

I hope to work with some of you.

UPDATE: Slots are closed! Thank you to the people who filled them up. I'll start work soon.

Wow, it's been a fat minute since I've done this. Well, here we are, and I'm gonna open up commissions again. To test the waters, I'm only opening 2 slots and commission requests will be taken subjectively. Reason for that in the details.

It's been a while, but I hope I can work with a couple of you.

Hey guys, I've got an update on my current queue of commissions. First off, I want to thank everyone that has commissioned me or in the process of doing so right now. Just on these commissions, I've reached my goals, and anything out from here will help with other holiday shopping I still need to do for others. Now for the real news: I know I said I would be keeping commissions open until the end of this month, but I forgot how much time I'll be not drawing starting with the Pokemon release on November 18. Because of this, there will be a new end, or due, date for commissions.

Commissions close November 11 midnight, 11:59 PM, PST.

This is to give me a full week to finish up all commission work before the new releases and a timely delivery. So for people who may have still be on the edge of commissioning me, be sure that we're able to work out the details by November 11 midnight, or 11:59 PM, PST. Another small update is that I forgot to put that I'll do Yugioh commissions too since they're always fun for me. Here's an update on the rules and outlines again:

Theme: all commissions must be either Pokemon or Final Fantasy-themed (or Yugioh, I'm always down for that).
-this includes, but not limited to: (Pokemon) characters from the games and anime and (Final Fantasy) characters from the main title games, side stories, Dissidia, anime, and other media.
-some things I won't do are: (Pokemon) Pokemon solo/"with" other Pokemon. Pokemon "involved" with humans are fine. (Final Fantasy) No KH characters (like Aqua, Kairi, etc.) or similar as they aren't technically FF characters even though they're associated with some of them. Original characters from either series are also a no.
-other will-do's/don't-do's apply from my old commission rules
Time frame: commissions are open from now, 9/30/2016, to November 11 11:59 PM PST
Pricing: all prices will be the same as my past commissions. Please reference my old tab on how I price commissions.
Slots: there are an unlimited number of slots until the end date. Please understand that I'll be taking things first come, first serve so it may take more time to get to your commission depending on how busy I become.

I hope to work with a few more of you before commissions close again.

Hey guys, as some of you may have seen from a couple recent uploads, I am opening commissions temporarily. The purpose is to cover expenses for some pretty costly purchases coming in November in the form of Final Fantasy XV, a PS4, and Pokemon Sun & Moon. Because of that, I'll be opening commissions from now until the end of November. Here are the rules for this commission opening:

Theme: all commissions must be either Pokemon or Final Fantasy-themed.
-this includes, but not limited to: (Pokemon) characters from the games and anime and (Final Fantasy) characters from the main title games, side stories, Dissidia, anime, and other media.
-some things I won't do are: (Pokemon) Pokemon solo or "with" other Pokemon. Pokemon "involved" with humans are fine. (Final Fantasy) No KH characters (like Aqua, Kairi, etc.) or similar as they aren't technically FF characters even though they're associated with some of them.
-other will-do's/don't-do's apply from my old commission rules
Time frame: commissions are open from now, 9/30/2016, to the end of November, 11/30/2016
Pricing: all prices will be the same as my past commissions. Please reference my old tab on how I price commissions.
Slots: there are an unlimited number of slots until the end of November. Please understand that I'll be taking things first come, first serve so it may take more time to get to your commission depending on how busy I become.

I think that pretty much sums up most details. Please ask me if there's anything you'd like more clarification on. The purpose of these themed commissions, aside affording the new games and gaming accessories, is to build up more hype by me and hopefully you all for some long awaited new entries into the Pokemon and Final Fantasy titles. I hope to work with some of you.

Gonna be streaming some art on my Picarto channel for a bit: https://picarto.tv/Zahkey . There shouldn't be anymore issues with audio this time. Feel free to stop on by.

Gonna be streaming some art on my Picarto channel for a bit: https://picarto.tv/Zahkey . There shouldn't be anymore issues with audio this time. Feel free to stop on by.

Come stop by if you want.

https://picarto.tv/Zahkey

EDIT: Uhh, technical difficulties with the audio. In the process of fixing it.

EDIT 2: Ok, f it, no mic, but music will be playing. I’ll fix it later. Stream back on!

EDIT 3: Stream is over. I'm terribly sorry for all the issues that happened at the start of the stream, and I'll be sure that doesn't happen next time. Thank you for those that stopped by!

Hey guys, was thinking of streaming right now, but I wanted to be absolutely sure on something. Is ecchi stuff allowed on Twitch? And by ecchi, I mean perhaps suggestive posing and big boobs. I definitely wouldn't do any nude stuff on Twitch, but I don't want to get banned for risque things either. Once I figure out the answer, or after a while, I'll start streaming either on Twitch or Picarto if all else fails.

Hey guys, I might have good and/or bad news to give.

I am quitting commissions. For how long this will last, it's very possible forever or may come up very rarely in a way as I'll get into. The reason for this is because I've been struggling to get done in a lot of aspects of life, including my personal work. Looking at my work for the past few years, I would garner to say at least 90% of it has all been commission work. Sometimes I think my galleries have been more of a reflection of my commissioner's tastes rather than my own. However, I want to stress that it is commission work I am very grateful for as I really do appreciate people came to me for my art, but at the same time, it leaves me little time to do stuff that I've been meaning to do myself. For all the artists that can balance commission work and personal work, kudos to them, but I've found I've got too much stuff going on to find the time for both. I have 4 pages of characters that I want to get to, but I couldn't find it worthwhile to do them when I could be working on commissions instead. I am giving up a lot of my side money acquisition, but I think it'll be better for most people who liked the idea behind my early stuff. And I can finally do more Yugioh, Pokemon, etc. series ideas again.

TLDR: I'm quitting commissions to focus my future art time with personal projects.

I'll be taking a break from pretty much everything for a bit over a week as some personal stuff is gonna go down, but I'm hoping that after next week, I might start streaming more in general of all the stuff I want to do. You can find me on Twitch as Xahki or Picarto as Zahkey for SFW and NSFW, respectively. Gonna see if I can add a donate button on both since streaming will probably be my only source of side money from now on. I don't have a good track record with updates to justify a Patreon, which is why I closed my last attempt at that, so for anyone that might feel like supporting me in however way, you can through donating or even just checking by during my streams. Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, this is getting long, but just the last part. I'm making a few polls for streaming suggestions since I'd rather cater how I do it to you guys rather than what I feel is right. Check them out:
For Twitch/SFW streams, would you prefer a face cam on or off?
www.strawpoll.me/10615564
For Twitch/SFW streams, would you be interested in other things besides art (eg games like League, gunpla (Gundam models, etc.) stuff?
www.strawpoll.me/10615603
For the streams, would you prefer my voice enabled (ie commentary on whatever, interacting with chat, etc.)?
www.strawpoll.me/10615624

Once again, thank you to you guys who have commissioned me all this time, whether it be just one piece or a few. I probably would have a different lifestyle right now if it weren't for you all. I am thankful for working with you. To everyone else, look forward to more personal stuff and consider checking out my stream when I'm on.

Gonna stream some NSFW commissions: https://picarto.tv/Zahkey

First time on Picarto so everything is still pretty barebones.

EDIT: Stream is over. Thanks for those that came by! I did not expect that many since I thought I'd get maybe 1 or 0, haha. Let me know if this is something you'd like to see more of.

Hey guys, back from the month break I at least said I would instead of going on the usual random breaks. I'm back and ready to get to work, especially with a lot of expenses in the near future to get ready for. I've also set a personal schedule for myself to hopefully make my workflow much better. Because of that, I will be taking bigger workloads meaning more slots this time around. So with that, I will be opening 5 slots. These slots are for 1 project a piece per person. With that, here are the slots:

Slot 1: closed
Slot 2: open
Slot 3: open
Slot 4: open
Slot 5: open

I hope to work with a few of you.

Hey guys, so I'm feeling good enough to do this. Gonna stream a bit for the first time on Twitch. Here's the link: https://www.twitch.tv/xahki

UPDATE: Stream over. Thank you to the guys who came by to visit.

Hey guys, with my arm feeling much better but still not 100%, I'm in the mood, and need, for some commissions. I'll be taking a vacation from March 22 to about April 20 so any commissions taken will be guaranteed to be finished before March 22. After I return, I will finally get to posting more work on a hopefully regular basis. With that, I will open up 3 slots this time.

Slot 1: closed
Slot 2: closed
Slot 3: open

I hope to work with some of you.

Also, I've set up everything for a stream and will be streaming a SFW piece on Twitch first sometime this week. I'll post again the day I do with a link for those interested.


UPDATE: First, I want to say thank you to the people who took up my slots. I'll get to work as soon as I can. I am sorry to say though that I won't be able to stream this week because my hand/arm injury has been acting up recently. I was about to yesterday, Friday, but the pain came back. I won't make anymore promises to not give false expectations, but I will try to stream once I'm feeling well and capable enough.

Hey guys, with my latest submission, I'm gonna be opening up commissions! I'm sorry for sounding like a broken record, but because of arm and wrist pain, I'll be working with a much smaller load for now. Once I'm feeling better, I will open up more slots, but for now, there will only be 2. My commission info has also been updated so check it out! There's a few changes here and there. Now on to the slots:

Slot 1: Closed
Slot 2: Closed

I hope to work with a couple of you.

EDIT: Thank you for the couple of people that filled them!

Thank you for all the suggestions for tablets! I have decided to go with the Ugee 2150 and it's been great so far. From messing around with it and getting used to a new program, I've found the drawing process to be much smoother and more fun than with my previous method. Now I can work purely digital from sketch to finish. Because of this, I'll be removing/altering the sketch commissions I usually provide. I know I've said this before, but I really feel like I'll be able to do more work now sans other stuff getting in the way (FFXIV, League, etc...). I'll also try to get proper updated commission samples with new work in the next couple weeks so stay tuned for that.

Oh, and with new tablet and an upgraded PC, is there any interest in an art stream? I personally don't think I'm as good as a lot of others so I'm not sure if anyone would be interested in seeing the process. If I were to stream, I'd likely use Twitch for SFW stuff and Picarto for the NSFW. If you decide to vote, you should be completely honest, especially since I won't know who says no anyway.
http://strawpoll.me/6766371

Hey guys. I've mulled over it a lot and I'm heavily considering getting a proper tablet monitor sometime this year, hopefully maybe mid or early. I've currently been using a tablet pc that feels like it's on its last legs and generally uncomfortable to work with. Most of my reason to upgrade is to commit more time to improve my skills and kinda learn everything back from 0 by being able to draw whenever digitally. Once I get it, I'm hoping to show you guys much better work and I can be lot happier with my stuff as well.

So that leaves the question for which tablet monitor to get. I'm looking for something preferable around $500, has the minimum to produce good work, and definitely better than the current display size I have (so something >10"). It can be over that price point, but it should definitely be under $1000. I'm probably gonna start putting aside money from commissions from here on to be for my new tablet fund. Do you have any suggestions?

Hey guys, I hope you had some happy holidays. I've been thankful myself for being pretty blessed recently. I'll be making a new comp that should be x3 faster (realistically more probably, but for the joke) and maybe one day I'll be upgrading to a cintiq type of tablet to go along with it rather than an old tablet pc I've been using. With the Christmas pic out of the way, I'll be opening up some commissions for anyone gracious enough to take them. This time will be a bit different on acceptance of commissions. I will be opening up several slots and closing them all at once on Tuesday Dec 29, 2015. The reason being is that I will go through all the people who message me and choose which ones to work on. This isn't as something that should be taken as against you, but I feel it'll help me pump out more work faster with more motivation. If work gets done faster, that also means the next commission round will likely come faster as well meaning more content overall. I hope you guys understand. Also, comic prices are still not adjusted yet as I am still thinking those through, but if I receive commission requests for them, I will make pricing them a priority. Now, on to the slots:

Slot 1: open
Slot 2: open
Slot 3: open
Slot 4: open
Slot 5: open

I hope to work with some of you.

Hey guys, trying to get back into work and to help motivate that, I'll be opening commissions! Thank you those that helped me fill up my last batch. I'm hoping to update with 2 commission pieces soon (1 tomorrow, with this one being my first multi-edited piece) and maybe some personal work. This time, I'll be opening up 3 slots:

Slot 1: closed
Slot 2: closed
Slot 3: closed

I hope to work with a few of you.

EDIT: Sorry for the late announcement, but all slots taken! All the commissions have been finished and I should be opening them up again probably after Christmas, maybe before.

Hey guys, how's it going? I've come back from a personal vacation and hoping to get back into the swing of things. For the next two months, I'm hoping I can pump out some good work while I have no obligations coming up. I have also been thinking of changing how I have priced things to be a bit more fair and maybe even more accessible. I've been observing how other artists have priced their works and decided I should adjust my own. You can check out my new pricing information in the commissions tab. I've also added a new category I've been wanting to do: comic pages. I know I should've done this before posting the new pricing guides, but I'll be working on new commission samples along with new commission work. With that, I am also opening up commissions again! I'll have 4 slots this time to ease in to things.

1. closed
2. closed
3. closed
4. closed

I hope to work with some of you.

EDIT: All slots taken. Thank you! I'll get to work soon.

Hey guys, so I finally found some time to get some commission work done so I can finally open up again. I feel like it's been forever since I've drawn, but I have a small backlog of stuff, all NSFW, so you can find updates slowly on the other places I upload to including the Anzu fan-decided commission. Details are the same so please refer to them for questions about pricing/formatting of your commission. The added detail cost I'm still trying to figure out so it'll be good to approach me about that since I feel that'll stay subjective depending on a lot of variables. So with that, I'll be opening up 5 slots. I can't guarantee all will be fast deliveries so I apologize in advance if it gets a little slow. At that point, feel free to kick/remind me and I can give you an update of where your commission is at.

Slots open:
1 - closed
2 - closed
3 - closed
4 - closed
5 - closed

EDIT: Thanks for taking up the slot, guys! I'll start to work.

I hope I can work with some of you.

Hey guys, sorry about the lack of updates. Once the semester started for me, I've been finding it pretty hard to find a lot of time to draw in all school obligations and some person stuff lately. I don't think this is changing anytime soon until most likely the summer. I wish I could be getting out more work, but as my schedule gets more busy, I'm missing opportunities. I've had an idea for New Years and even Valentine's coming up, but I'm already late for the former and probably won't make the latter. Would you guys still be interested in holiday pics even if late? There are two major things I'll split up though.

Commissions: I've gotten some requests, and I'm very sorry for the people I've been working with for the past few weeks since it's taken so long. I was thinking of opening them up again since I will have finished my previous obligations by tonight, but I think I'll just be accepting the ones asked previously, but if they're no longer interested, I'll be opening them up to the public. For anyone commissioning, I'm sorry, but the expected time for finish will be kinda longer than I have been doing recently, so expect maybe around 3 weeks or so. It feels bad since I felt like I was doing a lot of progress lately pumping them out faster before. So pretty much, commissions may or not be open depending on some replies.

Patreon: I feel the most guilty toward my patrons, the ones who directly support me each month, since I want to make the money worth it. I've sent a message to all of them on Patreon, so if you haven't seen it, please check it out and reply to me. The big news I told them first is that I will be closing down my Patreon. I will do so once I know all my patrons have gotten my message so I can fulfill some last requests. I'm pretty much closing it down because I don't feel like I have the time to promptly fulfill all the milestone goals I made and rewards I offered as you guys probably have noticed since the last fan-decided commission that still isn't out yet. Because of this, I don't feel right accepting obligatory support from Patreon right now. I may open it back up in the future once I have more time, but for now, I will close it down within the next week. However, I'd still like to fulfill the goals I reached as a thank you to you guys for supporting me as I didn't think I'd get even 1 patron in the first place. I'll be trying to post 1 colored pic a week, and if I find the time, maybe even open up fan-decided commissions again. I'll also see if maybe I can post sketches to put in my scraps for future characters I'd like to draw.

So thank you guys for the support. I'm not dead yet and will try to update more when time allows.

The poll for December is up. Be sure to vote!

Voting ends Thursday, January 22 at 11:59 PM PST.

Since a lot of the ideas were every vague, please leave some details or a situation you would want for a character in general even if you don't vote for them. I want this to be your ideas and not my own.
