I genuinely didn’t want to resort to this but due to circumstances beyond our control, my partner and I need to find new housing arrangements ASAP.
We’ve been going through a tough time this past year. My partner is disabled and has been struggling to find work, as his disability makes jobs like retail and food service (jobs that require lifting and standing for long periods) inaccessible. I’ve been providing for both of us to the best of my ability, but dealt with some medical issues that had me out of work for a while and that drained what little savings I had. That said we were going to try our best to make it to the end of our lease, but today there was a domestic incident involving one of our roommates that made it clear we are no longer in a safe or healthy environment.
As of now we don’t have the financial cushion needed for all the expenses that finding, securing, and moving into a new apartment requires, nor do we have any friends or family who are currently able to contribute.
Obviously we’re open to accepting donations, but I’d just feel wrong not offering anything in return. So I’m opening up commissions on a donation basis. You can either DM me or email me at erinfrostart@gmail.com to discuss commission options.
If you’d like to dontate you can do so through my Ko-Fi page.
If you are interested in commissioning me you may contact me directly through my blog or via email at erinfrostart@gmail.com. If you have something particular in mind that is not listed here feel free to ask about it.
Prices may be negotiated and are subject to increase or reduction based on complexity.

Aurans is a visual novel about growing up and saving the multiverse while wearing wet shoes.
When homely nobody Rowan Nightingale gets hit by a car, she doesn’t die, but instead is chosen to become an Auran - a being who can make anything happen, on three conditions: she has to be able to imagine it, believe it, and then create it. Taken under her mentor’s wing, she travels to other dimensions and learns to harness the power of her imagination, slowly growing more confident in herself. But dark forces are lurking in the shadows, and who better to manipulate than a young, naïve Auran such as her? Soon, Rowan must fight her inner demons - quite literally - in order to save the dimensions from being destroyed. But can you truly believe that you are stronger than the darkest, most evil force in the entire multiverse, when all your life you have believed you weren’t worth anything at all?
The first seeds of the Aurans universe were thought of in 2006, when I was only 11. Since then, the story, characters, and environments have been fine-tuned over and over again. At first, Aurans was written as a book, but the lack of audiovisual content felt wrong. Many other mediums were brainstormed; A comic? An animated series? A movie? For many different reasons, none of those really seemed to fit. Then it became clear: It had to be a visual novel; the perfect blend of text, image, and sound.
After working with the companies Nix Hydra and Dorian, I felt that I had a grasp on the visual novel medium and the surrounding industry to the point where Aurans would be able to come to life. Teaming up with background artist Ivan Sapnu, the two of us got to work, and now, the first installment is almost complete. All we need is that last push - that’s where you come in.
A super quick overview:
GAME GENRE: Visual Novel / Young Adult / Fantasy / Coming of Age
GRAPHICS: 2D illustrations and sprites on static backgrounds
ART DIRECTION: Stylized and cartoony in vein of W.I.T.C.H., the works of Noelle Stevenson, and the works of Becky Cloonan
PLATFORM: PC, possibly Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch in the future
PLAYERS: Singleplayer
ENGINE: Ren’Py
MARKET: Anybody age 12-35 with a love of young adult fantasy stories
Fully hand drawn graphics, deep world and lore
Representation of LGBTQ*, diverse body types and POC, with mentions of neurodiversity, while touching upon the themes of self-worth, identity,and bullying
Can stand alone, but is planned as the first installment of the Auran trilogy
~800 USD (~745 euro) will be used to pay our background artist for the remaining backgrounds.
100 USD (93 euro) will be spent on getting the game onto Steam.
Project funded: 900 USD / 850 euro
STRETCH GOALS:
2500 euro / 2700 USD = Original soundtrack; currently the game will use royalty free music primarily provided by Kevin MacLeod, but how sweet would it be to get a soundtrack specifically made for Aurans?
June 25th 2023: Kickstarter launch
August 24 2023: Kickstarter end
September 1st 2023 - November 30th 2023: Creation and implementation of the remaining backgrounds, music, and sprites. If stretch goal is reached, soundtrack will be commissioned.
December 1st 2023 - January 31st 2024: Proof-reading of prose, GUI updated, and game submitted to Steam.
February 1st 2024: Game launch

Hey I hate to do this but this is really important to me
One of my best friends has been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer at age 29. She is literally practically my sister. Her kids even call my dad "Papa Patrick".
She has a gofund me for medical bills. Any help, even just sharing, would mean a lot.

I'll do simple color (and even simple shapes) backgrounds for free. If you provide a photo to me, whether it be one you took or a free use one you found, that will be free also (I will check if I'm able to use it).
If I'm drawing a background:
Simple (limited detail & shading) +$8
Complex (a more detailed environment, like a full room or more detailed nature) +$15
If it's a complex cityscape, it'd be +$20
Heavy gore. If it's mild I'll be fine with it but if the reference photos I'd have to look up would be traumatizing I will not.
(This list will be added to as I think of more things)
I will do nsfw works. I will let you know if something suggested (nsfw or not) makes me uncomfortable.
Leviathan Princess is made! I'd post the photos here, but tumblr has decided that soft sculptures of fully clothed dolls were sent by Asmodeus the demon prince of lust to tempt men to sin with their lewd lack of genitals and nipples, so I'm going to have to host these on my personal website instead. I know that means most of you won't look at it, but oh well, fuck me I guess!
It doesn't matter, I had a lot of fun making this and no puritanical algorithm or lack of audience interest is going to stop me.

I wanna gauge actual interest since it is a lot of work. Reminder the price of each pattern & instructions would maybe be £2 ish. Definitely less than £5
