Hihi! I’m currently looking for these items:

Moth + Sparrow pack

Triumph Violin

I can offer a fullbody drawing with either a simple or no background, together with daily lights and some hearts if you need any

DM me here or on discord if you’re interested or have any questions!

For more art examples you can check here and here :]

kelpie xiao 👹

people already drew everyone as vampires and witches so i wanted mine to be different 👹

here xiao is a kelpie, a shape-shifting water spirit from scottish mythology that usually appears horse-like but can also turn into a human ready to jump out of the waters at their victims and crush them to death

Regarding My Commissions

All current/upcoming commissions I have at the moment and in this queue will remain as it was agreed upon. This announcement will not affect them.

Doing commissions to fund myself whenever I need or want something has been my thing since high school. Now, I’m a graduating college student, and that means I’ll need to make decisions for my career and where I want to be. 

It took me 7 years to realize that doing lots of commissions as a source of income is not for me. It’s a commitment to fulfill someone’s vision into reality, and while I really enjoy that idea when it comes to commissions, they can be very time consuming. Lately, I no longer have the passion for doing illustrations. As I got busier, I couldn't find time to draw personal art, and that eventually led me into a burnout. 

This year however, I’ve been really struggling to finish my commissions, on top of my current schedule irl, and the toll it’s taken is starting to manifest physically. Because commissions are my only source of income, stopping them means I’ll be broke, and I regret not creating another source earlier.

I’ve taken breaks from commissions before, but the same cycle happens. I’m aware of my tendency to stretch myself too thin, and I believe narrowing my focus and better planning would help me improve in the long run. Right now, my priority is to improve on art while planning for what I want to do next year.

Because of what I’ve mentioned earlier, my closing process will be slow. I will no longer be taking personal illustration and fullbody requests, but simpler busts and halfbodies will remain open. I plan to finish all my ongoing commissions before this year ends, and when I’ve found another source of income by next year, my commissions will be closed for an indefinite amount of time.

I have future visions for my art career, and doing personal commissions won’t be a huge part of it. From this point forward, I want to find the motivation to create art again that I hope would land me commercial work in the future. I want to make way for other opportunities in my art career, putting my name out there and hoping to open an online shop by the time I graduate. 

Thank you everyone for your support so far and I hope you’ll join me in my journey as an artist improving themselves not just in art, but also in body and mind. <3
