Hello! As you guys have seen, I’ve been figuring out the dip pens recently for a project, and I’d love to draw a guy of your choice as practice!
Head Over Here (Or Input The Link In The Picture Above) To Get A Slot
Three slots will be available every time I open for this! Please read and follow the instruction for sending references upon purchase; if references are not sent after 24 hours since the purchase is made, I’ll assume you’ve cancelled the commission and refund. If you need an extension on that, please leave me a word in Tumblr message or email!
UPDATE 20/06/2023: 3/3 slots filled. Thank you so much for your support, and please stay tuned for the next round!
#bakuspeech#commission info#b4kuch1n#big thank you to rudeboimonster for pointing me towards the ko-fi commission function!! and for helping me test the format!#what I make of this will probably go towards ink and more nibs and necessities while I work on the comic#(it will take a bit! so having a sum to spare while doing it would be nice)#obvious disclaimers here is: I am also doing this to practice the dip pens (which I am not yet super familiar with)#so if you expect like. mike mignola level of ink. youre not getting it lol#best to go off of the examples I posted! thats where Im at rn#and I will be experimenting a bit with anything I draw rn. in my fuck around era!#please keep that in mind as well as the instruction stuff. spend money wisely! thank u for ur support no matter what!#and now. I take a got dang shower#it is SO damp here. I am made of like 70% mushroom at this point.

hey there! ive finally made an art blog! im going to try post more just… stuff, as usually i reserve my art posts for either special occaisions or specifically public-oriented works, and it kinda bums me out to not just have a place to dump my art anymore, so here you go!
(more details and helpful info below!)
who are you?
in hopes of providing some relevant lenses to view my work through, ill give some personal details here. if these lenses dont suit your interpretation of the work, thats alright! view as you please, though i do still think these will always be important context in said viewings.
my name is zelda (she/her) and im a queer jewish 20something who struggles quite a bit with illness both physical and mental.
ive always been kind of enthralled by impressionism and what it really means to use suggestion and spirit as a stronger tool than portrayal and form.
i have a particular draw to fantasy and magical aesthetics, especially the world-building within.
i am a serial overthinker, and tend to see alot of meaning and symbolism in things that plainly do not have them.
while yes i am jewish, my relation to faith is complicated. if you see me type “god” im using it in a turn of phrase with no meaning. if you see me type out “g-d” i am being religious. yes i know thats not how its supposed to work. its meaningful to me.
what will you post?
as previously mentioned, here im trying to make a concerted effort to post a broader variety of things with a wide selection in quality and topic, so unfortunately here the only real uniting theme is going to have to be that i made it. still! to help navigate the space, listed below will be a list of tags i will try to keep to, all of which this post will also be tagged as, since i know tumblr search can be finicky.
#the self and the other
these will be about me, my friends and loved ones, or possibly both
#differing mediums
these pertain to other works or universes, as well as fan content
#harsh tones
this is gonna be the rough stuff. topics will be tagged as needed.
#jaunty doodles
funny business. shenanigans, even.
#lesssfw
listen this blog is for a wide breadth of content, so please if you do not want to, or otherwise should not be seeing mild to moderate nsfw content (i dont rlly plan on posting straight up porn here) block this tag.
do you take commissions?
yeah, usually. im not really at the point where i have to close and open them for availability reasons, so shoot me a dm and ill usually be able to give you a response pretty quick on.
price tends to vary by project, and i always set $20 per hour of canvas time as my baseline, but generally simpler stuff like limited detail icons and emojis run in the $20-$30 range, while fully detailed halfbodies tend to run in the $40-$50 range, and fully done fullbodies range more $70-$80. aside from that, backgrounds are a little too context dependent to put a full price estimate on and extra characters can and will cost extra.
usually whatll happen is after laying out the basic price range we’ll talk, and ill thumbnail until we have smth we can agree on, and once weve got an idea of what were going for ill give an estimate that ill try to stick close to, barring any major changes or complications. from then on ill try to send updates whenever i work, and then when im relatively close to finished ill ask for the payment either through paypal or cashapp, after which ill send on the finished piece and any expected variations. in some cases, this may be changed, and payment may be done half at the start, and half when relatively close to completion.
#the self and the other#differing mediums#harsh tones#jaunty doodles#lesssfw#the amazing moving picture

hey I'm too shy to ask off anon but do you have tips on finding illustrator work in finland. I have zero marketable skills besides drawing but I have NO idea how to find people who want to hire me
(Im gonna answer in eng since you msgd in eng but im gonna tag this w fintags in case someone has extra tips- im a super beginner in my work area so im sure there's other more compitent ppl out here who might wanna add answers etc? :0)
OK SO IM SUPER W U im like ass at anything that isnt art, like, i tried a lot of other stuff before i succumbed to doing graphic design/art as a job bc i just did so bad at everything. Which, im sure ill be doing a bunch of other stuff on the side throughout my life because IT. IS NOT EASY!!! ITS A SUPER HARD JOB TO GET WORK IN!!! I mean im on the medicore side as an artist so it might just be me but LMFAO. I dont wanna scare you off but it is tough HOWEVER. yes there are things you can do ill readmore this tho
I think the easiest to get into IS like. private commission work. The usual "drawing ocs or fandom stuff" for people. It requires a lot of self marketing- building a platform, making your art a desirable object. Im planning personally 2 open comms again after my current gig is done, and ive been hearing good stuff about the small business options osuuspankki offers- re: being able to do the billing via paypal &helping w the taxing which makes overseas work a LOT easier to figure out. I cant swear on them personally tho since i have not used their services before, but i can give more info in abt a month when Im planning on looking into them more! So. Online market yourself. (you can ask further on this but this post would be too long if i get into that, also im not like a master of this), commission work. PRICE YOUR STUFF RIGHT, Look into how long it takes you to make your pieces and create an approx. price based on your hours spent working. And then price higher.
As for a lot of the stuff i do&post about here. I personally DID start w education, which, i am incredibly lucky I could. I studied graphic design/illustration in Ikaalinen, its a really great school which i can recommend if that is an option for you. I could talk abt it more but I think the main things i got from that education was a) making connections b) learning how printing works which is INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT. If you want to work in book illustrations which i have done, I recommend looking into the technical aspects of printing on your own. You can learn it online definetly. As for connections, thats a little tougher, but really anything beyond for me has been. Just making a portfolio & CV and emailing and asking for work. Its tedious and annoying but yeah.. Other options im aware of for illustration work is like. in advertizing (though its kinda rare to do ILLUSTRATION), game companies (theres a lot of other stuff you need 2 learn there tho)... Ik some ppl sell their illustrated products eg. stickers, prints etc, but idk anything abt that section. In finland its rly tough bc you rly dont. I like got curious and just googled "kuvitus töitä" and yeah theres just Nothing. It is abt looking for where illustrations could be (looking for small book publishers, looking for childrens books writers specifically and reaching out to them, etc etc) and reaching out and being a pushy bitch its AWFUL its my least favourite part of this job but it is. Yeah..
#suomitumppu#suomitumblr#jos joku tietää enemmän koska mäki haluisin kyl kuulla mieluusti :D#jos tiedätte paremmin ku mä nii älkää pliiis kutsuko mua ääliöks tiedän et oon tyhmä mut oon just päässy aluilleen elämäs enkä tiedä mitää#mistää vittu#kanitalk#ask#anon

hi potato!!! omg im not sure if we're mutual yet but i love your art a whole lot!!!!💗💗💗💗 and you're also in brba/bcs fandom too?? that's awesome!!! hiii!! do you perhaps have a brbabcs oc? I'd love to know!
(or, if you dont have, maybe you want to make it..? 👀 abby can them can be friends...)
hey there! yeah im a huge fan of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but not really active in this fandom… i typically just lurk around, reblog and enjoy the silly memes on YouTube. if i feel inspired, i’ll just draw the characters (mostly jimmy & kim cuz im so normal about them ) and then bail. my squishy brain can't stay in one fandom for too long, it's always jumping around to another new interest. im glad you like my art ❤️ you got a beautiful drawings too!
oo your ask inspired me to create an OC for BCS/BRBA! here she is! her name is Joy
she doesn't have much details and backstory yet, but im planning to flesh her out more if im not busy with other things.
with how messed up the brbabcs world can be, figured that putting my OC as a Los Pollos Hermanos employee would fit right in. she’s also Lyle’s close friend! let’s just hope she doesn't face as much tragedy as the other characters lmao
gonna put on read more for the question about being mutuals because this post is already long ⬇️
[shaking and crying rn i hope i don’t upset anyone..]
so.. uhm im very picky about who i actually follow & follow back because i need to limit it for the sake for my dashboard. preferably id have to REALLY like and rather follow blogs that i vibe & familiar with the contents that i want to see than something… i dont really want to look at 🙏 this is just how i curate my experience
in general, i also dont feel comfortable with others dming me personal things and it feels anxiety-inducing. unless it’s a specific topic like art discussion about drawing tips, ocs design, request, art trades, collab and maybe commission
im SO SORRY 🙏 🙏 it’s nothing personal i swear, really! and im letting yall know that i will always recognize and remember all the people who consistently ✨ like and reblog ✨my stuff and you're all honorary mutuals to me even if i don't follow you back and i appreciate you all sm!!! <3 i go bounce bounce seeing everyone being super sweet in my notif
if yall interact often and you’re super nice in the notific you’re already a mutual for me! 🩷 sending me question and art suggestion never bothers me! i love to talk, get to know and interact more with people in this lovely app! :)
thanks for the question!
#thank you for taking your time sending me this lovely wholesome ask <3 i hope u have a good day#ask#🥔 potato.ask 🥔#art by me#bcs oc#brbabcs#breaking bad oc#brba oc#los pollos hermanos#fandom#drawing#doodle

my brain been barely functioning and chapter 24 left it even more useless
I can't go to sleep without telling you it was brilliant.
hopefully my brains reboot when i wake up so i can elaborate on how many stuff this chapter made me feel.
Meanwhile, i need to ask you something very important.
Scar map where? uwuwuwuwuwuwu im asking u with some drawy intentions 👉 👈
Awww! I hope you got some good sleep and thank you for sending in regardless!!
Yes... the scar map! So I have a ref sheet commission in the works, but it's a very busy time... Let's see... Would you want me to try to whip something up with my rough drawing skills? I could certainly try!

ive been neglecting my inbox so im answering all the asks rn. sorry...if you’ve been waiting for a response.
yes go ahead!! Also ik it is hard to access my FAQ from the app but btw this is in my FAQ its very comprehensive because I get this type of ask a lot LOL. dw it’s not annoying though its easy to answer and I’m glad ppl like my art enough to use it and also care abt crediting!! its in my faq not because i dont like to answer but more so u guys dont need to ask LOL
thank you!! I dont see much infinity train content ever either. when i was making infinity train fanart everyday i felt like i was on an island LOL...
honestly I feel like cahiers are decent with posca because theyre not really absorbent and posca marks tend to sit on the page as opposed to soaking through anyways. umm i wouldnt like... use it to do a whole posca piece or anything but i use poscas just for pops of color in my sketchbook pretty often and it holds up ok. sometimes u can see the shadow of the color through the paper bc its thin but thats mostly it. i took pics of some sketchbook pgs and how the back of the page looks so you can see for yourself ( cw for bakudeku LOL ) ...theres a lot of like.. normal brush pen ink and india ink that penetrates the paper more like even compared to the black posca
thank you!!!! I love drawing assorted cephalopods... their proportions remind me of drawing digimon characters LOL.
not right now u_u I’m busy.... but you can always email me at [email protected] to check abt it! sometimes i will do commissions even if im busy because it sounds cool LOL...
lol thank you!! idk if i ship(?) them either but its interesting to think about!!! theyre funny characters to bonk together and i feel like most fanart ive seen doesnt address how funny their relationship could be if it were more exploratory i guess
yk that scene is kind of a meme now but it like genuinely still makes me emotional. when colette makes lloyd promise not to tell the others at the end it breaks my heart
yeah here you go
I feel like I’ve probably talked about this before in another ask post but i dont really think about style because its one of those things that artists should try to change depending upon intention, what you’re drawing and what you want to communicate etc. what people often recognize as style are quirks that an artist maintains throughout changing their subject and approach.....ANYWAYS. thats all to say my style probably just comes out of normal stuff like looking at other art and thinking “I want to do that” or trying out different mediums and methods and settling with whatever feels the best LOL. It’s always changing & growing! Because I’m always learning new stuff!
Theres a lot! I really like the scene when daisukes lying awake in bed thinking abt how ken’s heartbeat felt. And the scene when they have a sleepover and ken wakes up first and looks over to daisuke sleeping LOL idk subtle stuff you can read very clearly as like burgeoning queer moments.. theyre recognizable from my own queer childhood and i love that in a kids anime. also at the end of the series when theyre fighting the final boss dude and ken grabs daisukes arm to ask him to jogress but hes shivering and daisuke just turns to say “youre shaking....” and in revenge of diaboromon when ken goads daisuke into endurance running by taunting him about soccer LOL (jock romance).
but one i rly want to mention is theres this youtube video about how ken and daisuke’s honorifics change over the course of the series and how significant it is when they switch over to first name basis and honestly i think about it a lot THEY HAVE GREAT SCENES!! I love ken and daisuke
wow!! thats rad... the sad truth is its just my name with like a shitton of letters taken out. sometimes i abbreviate it even further as mrz and i think to myself haha ... mister z.

okay i know im like constantly busy with a billion drawing projects at once - or rather not doing them and starting new things, lol - but i wanted to ask people how they do commissions.
i have a very small idea of how bank accounts and such work - and i've asked my mom about me possibly doing art online for commissions, but she told me i'd need to do it through the family account (aka my dad's account - and we know i have a shitty relationship with him) or i'd have to make my own. however, i'd need to make enough monthly or have a job to be able to keep the account up, at least here in my country.
i am 19 years old and i have never ever in my life been allowed to work with my own money, i don't even know how cards work properly and i don't even have an allowance, i just get money as gifts sometimes and then i hoard that for the very rare times i want to buy something in person.
if i do commissions online, i do them for gifted things such as discord nitro and steam games. (can run into issues, can't refund - had this happen in the past but the client was an genuine asshole human being) however i just cannot receive money on it's own in any way, nor can i buy anything online myself. (my parent don't like buying stuff online in general, mostly because of shipping and such.)
and like, ever since i was very young i've been told to lie and hurrdurr just make a secret paypal or something but... i wanna know how all of this works? i've never been taught anything in my life, and i know very little from my (highkey abusive) high school i just got out of. i have like no leads in life and while i still live safely with my parents, i want to leave one day EVENTUALLY, of course. slowly but surely, y'know? but when i'm living with them not being taught anything i basically cannot do shit. it's kind of a bad idea to ask people online for advice about shit like this but, genuinely asking just...
how does this stuff work?? how do you guys do commissions outside of gifted things like steam games/cards and such like i mentioned earlier. it confuses me so much. i am too scared to go behind my mom's back and i want to know more about these things to see if i can explain it to her and do it in some way because i see people doing all this often in secret and i just don't get it.
not sure if i'd open up art commissions like so anyway, but i'd just like to have the knowledge on this in-case it's ever needed... and just having more knowledge in life is good, y'know? anyways no this isn't an emergency post i just want to know how this works.
#genuinely awful how i was never taught anything by my parents#when i say the internet raised me i mean it

oh ps im so fucking glad to be done with school (dgmw i LOVED college but it was an INSANE amount of work and im exhausted). i can do whatever i want now guilt-free. its AMAZING. i can play minecraft guilt free i can do COMMISSIONS guilt free like bro....... it was so hard doing commissions during school TToTT
like yall.... what NINE (9) fucking classes in a term will do to an mf. i only recommend it if u have like zero other priorities bc. WOW. it was a LOT. (i also put 100% into literally everything i do but still it tested my fucking LIMITS.) (only one all-nighter had to be pulled though and it wasnt even on a school night so thats cool of me)
more. rambling under the cut
(like im soooososo grateful for the business + JUST whining like i needed the moneys regardless so i dont appreciate it any less. and they were still a lot of fun. but the workload was cray cray. im so grateful my commissioners didnt mind the ~2 month wait bc i felt so bad kjdnfnkjsfds blows yall a kiss... excited to get thru my current queue too!! once i. have the weekend to myself bc. GOD i need that.)
im really amazed im not burnt the fuck out?? like i look forward to drawing still!! and doing more 3D when i have the mental capacity for it (done my current comm queue). i love that stuff so much. ive pushed myself so much and created things in time crunches i thought would wreck me but ive proven myself wrong again and again and its amazing. im truly proud of myself and the person im becoming yall its a magical thing!!!! and my WORK. is the best its ever looked even when its rushed. i am fucking gobsmacked. my god. i NEED to keep doing gesture studies someone pplleease be on my ass about that lol /j
and NOT TO MENTION MY FRIENDS....... like MAN i fuckin love those guys holy shit. my dumb ass coming to school like "ohghggh i hope i make friends" BITCH YOULL MAKE THE BEST FRIENDS OF YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was so silly... i met one of my best friends on the FIRST DAY and DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT!!!!!!! ugh im just. im so grateful. eternally grateful for this experience. i have grown tenfold i have gained tenfold.
i feel. ready for my next steps... i have my first job coming up and im gonna be doing 3D for freelance and learning new things... getting my shit TOGETHER making money (hopefully a lot) and learning to be an adult n shit. "catch up" to my peers (thats how it feels). it feels good and in my best moments i feel like the future is bright yk.... like. yeah i can do this!!!!!!! yeah. yeah. its gonna be alright.
#ramblies#TRULY JUST.......... wonderful wonderful time in my life#there were ups n downs and things i tried that didnt work out and people i was with that i didnt end up vibing with (thru no fault of their#own really i just wasnt feelin it) but yknow what.#i did my best with everything and i dont have any feelings of regret. it was all worth it to me!!!!!!#and truly i need NEED to stop telling myself im so hateable all the time bc if theres one thing this year has taught me#its that im worthy of fucking love. like i have been.... SO APPRECIATED this year it makes me feel full and warm in my heart#ive never felt this loved in my LIFE!!!! people are so amazing and kind..... like where has this been!!! ah its just. very very nice.#im feeling good about things rn. and excited to see my friends tmrwwwww im having a sLUMBER PARTY!!!! hehehe

I dont talk about my art much on here, but im gonna ramble a bit tonight.
I've been feeling rather trapped creatively the last couple of months. I do love to draw and create things, but latley, I'm rather uninspired. I'm finding it difficult to think of ideas and stay focused when working.
I usually draw furries and have a small business doing commissions. Latley, though, sales and interaction are way down, and it's making me frustrated. I'm also just kinda bored of the content I make. Most people who commission me want nsfw stuff and I'm burnt out on that.
I want to branch out and do other stuff. I do draw some D&D inspired stuff, and it would be nice maybe to do more of that. Ive also been trying pet portraits and even landscapes.
Though I guess I lack a lot of confidence to do that kinda thing. It doesn't come as easily as cartoon animals. So I avoid it. I need to be more adventurous. If I don't, I worry I'll stagnate.
Art is a big part of my self-expression. I need to draw and create more for myself and worry less about others. It would be a good way to feel better about myself. Like it actually used to be before. Though admittedly, that came from others validating me. I need to validate myself.
Money is an issue as comms bring in a little extra that I do genuinely need. Being disabled with mental health issues means I'm on benifts and they don't stretch very far.
Meh. Here's a half sketched landscape. I might try and scan it and paint it digitally soon.

ok so i really wanna talk about this here bcs i need to hear your guy's opinions on it
ive been having some trouble with commissions and workflow
i generally love getting paid to draw, but i can't bring myself to focus on finishing owed stuff which often leads to unpleasant situations with clients
and i also can't really afford to stop taking them because i don't have a job and i'm completely reliant on my parents (bonus that im also studying)
and i need to add that i have a bad habit of taking on more than i can handle (its somewhat related to my condition and i cant control it sometimes)
what should i do? do i just raise my prices until they're high enough that i feel motivated enough to finish commissions? or maybe i could just TRY and open slots instead of taking commissions as they come and avoid getting overwhelmed?
if you do commissions on the regular and have a steady business or just know how to manage your time, i would appreciate some advice

i’ve been reconsidering the approach i want to take on this blog, while i still want to make it mostly full of my original art i also realize that making it exclusive for that makes the updates much slower (non existent for months too), i'm constantly torn between posting original art because it doesnt meet my standards and that just makes thing harder doesnt it? also i really enjoy drawing fanart so i think it’s a waste to not share it here either since im never satisfied with what i initially intended to make this blog for, i always thought if i wanted to get followers i wanted them from my original stuff but tbh i dont think it’s such a bad thing to get them from fanart either, it’s my art i put effort into after all, i think i just need to find a balance on the content i want to share, i know there’s going to be people that will appreciate what i do regardless of what i draw...just some thoughts ive been having for a while! nothing important either haha
on a side note about my life: sorry i kept you all in the dark for so long, truth is, i’ve been having a lot of emotional problems that keep surfacing all the time, fortunately i finally decided to take care of myself in that aspect and started seeking professional help, but that’s why i didnt really draw a lot since last year, and i kinda had some sort of conflict regarding my ocs, i couldnt really look at them for a long time, it’s complicated but yeah i rather not go further into it, ALSO! i gave myself a break this month after doing a lot of commissions because my partner came to visit after not seeing them for 3 years, im still not sure of what im gonna be doing next with social media overall tho, im definitely going to keep drawing but life has started to seem more busy too, will start getting my degree next month and i dont know how much it will take, in the meantime i think i’ll just post some commissions, thanks for reading so far if you did, hope life has been treating you well! as always i truly appreciate all of you ❤️

im going insane so im going to tell you about it and by that i mean make a post to scream into the void about my troubles
this will be a rambly, stream of consciousness post so watch out. unmedicated adhd brain shenanigans are afoot
i feel like i need to draw for myself more. i try to very often, i do, but i still feel like im caught in the whole “if i dont draw for attention then whats the point” hellhole that ive been trying to get out of for years. but i feel like the reason for this is that i literally Need the attention to up my chances for commissioners??? because thats how i make a living rn??? like i literally rely on commissions as my main source of income and that pays for shit like rent and medication and appointments and food :( i barely buy shit for myself anymore b/c im putting it all towards needs and not wants
also im worried my merch wont pop off as well as it did when i first released the submas merch. i know those were in high demand, but im afraid the demand will go to single digit sales for them as well as everything else i sell. im honestly thinking about just buying very small stock, maybe 10 of each item at most, and opening the orders that way (after i ship things out of course). speaking of shipping my last shipment STILL hasnt come in and im a little frustrated b/c im like. bruh i need to ship out these preorders. im not gonna do preorders in the future i dont think, im waiting way too long for this stock to come in :( i dont want yall to wait forever for like..a keychain
ive been trying to work here and there on both villain + school and facets (facets is completely written and scripted, v+s just recently got solidified as an outline Finally) but i kinda only had energy to do so for One Day so im not sure when those’ll be out lmfao. sorry bout that
i want to make more ocs, i havent made new ocs in a hot minute and im like :( wah. my character design brain is kaput right now. i wanna make more cool db ocs and such like i used to. it used to bring me so much joy. or maybe even inazuma eleven ocs idk im just wanting New Boys
i have so much to do or at least so much i could be doing. like i could make new merch art but that feels pointless if i dont have the money to buy the merch. i still need to ship out my FIRST orders, christ. and im trying so hard to get commissions rolling so i CAN ship out my shit but :( its a struggle. im struggling. god im stressed to hell and back hi
sometimes i do be like i wanna die ! but i wont. i’ll be ok things will be ok. i will get commissions its only the 6th. i have time. and im going to check out some cons that i can maybe table at in the future. thatd be wonderful. fuck i need to reprint my business cards with my updated twitter im a little mad i ended up getting my account unsuspended right after i made those cards. at least i only made 50 of them i guess
i need like an online journal or something to write this shit into instead of like, a public tumblr post LMFAO. but i cant use washi tape online so there goes that /hj
i really really need to figure out a way to let the general furry population know that i will draw their stuff for commissions. like. i Will. i Have. i Can. just give me a chance bro i’ll draw your inflation fetish art just give me a chance to make some money to live LOL. i would draw more furry art but i am so unmotivated and sluggish its so hard..
i kinda feel like i should try to get back into adoptables too but ive been so depressed and down and unmotivated its really really hard for me to design things for myself let alone to sell. so im like ok now what i have no income. im too brain fucky to get a “real job” so im just like. sits here on my ass doing absolutely nothing except being sad. ok so i might have depression
anyway life is hard thanks for putting up with me
