Update on my Vash sprite work! I've made a test sprite for the neutral/standard look, but the posture is still a bit stiff and I'm not super happy with the sweater, so I'll change that :) was a nice test run though! Some more sketches underneath what I could still do...its a lot, but I'd really love to do all? Best start for one standard, one complex animated one and then I have smth nice to show for my portfolio and can still do the others whenever I want to. (I also would really love to do a fake screenshot/short clip with background and all teehee)
I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

reconnecting ๐๐ฟ (request)
@/izukuustars requested some bkdk platonic bonding +snails :) it's a bit awkward in the beginning because they've been navigating each other in such extremes the past 10 years and the war kept them too busy to just enjoy their mundane every-day life as friends, i think they should reconnect through sth from their childhood they're both so nostalgic lmao

our paths will cross, even if it's forced.
New sketch!!
Kinstugi cryptid ass Touya sketches
I wanted him to be creepier, but I just can't make him not a cutie patootie.
how much for a commission like this be honest with me
atp, my kofi requests are more rendered and just better than whatever i offered last year, but they also take much more time now so i think i'm ready to offer that level of work in the form of commissions.
the difference to my usual requests would be that my requests are prompt-based (you give me a description/setting/tone and i will work with that), while you can get more specific with commissions. I would also send you a draft before working on it to make sure it's what you want & we could make some changes to it.
another thing i'm struggling with is just offering solo-illustrations. i can do that ofc, but my general approach is always 2 characters that's just my base line atp so i guess my flatrate would always apply to 2 characters? which is odd for commissions i guess but idk, i can't say i'd mind it, maybe my flatrate should just be higher then idk.
