The silliest skunk on FA, now with 20% more Pratchett references!
Commissions: CLOSED
Prices (in USD):
Sketched: $20
Inked: $35
Cel Shaded: $50
Smooth Shaded: $75
Painting: $150
All tiers shown list the base price for a single character with no background

Background: 50% base price at minimum (highly detailed/feature rich backgrounds may cost more depending on their complexity)
Experimental styles, comics and animations are negotiable, will be considered on a case-by-case basis
The first few tweaks on a commission are free; additional tweaks will carry an additional fee per tweak, depending on complexity
ON THE ART POOL:
I must make it very clear that I do not operate a commission queue per se - I operate a commission pool, where all of the commissions I am tasked with doing congregate in one somewhat disorganized mess. There may be times when I feel I can complete one commission more easily than another, or it feels more interesting than another or...well, there may be a variety of reasons why I may do commissions out of the order I received them in. Please don't feel like I am intentionally avoiding working on your commission though! It may just be I need to approach it from a different perspective. I will try to make an effort to work on commissions in the order I receive them, but occasionally the order will get put aside so I can work in a more natural flow. If this system offends you, I apologize, but this does tend to be how I work on things - it's a bit like doing a crossword; you don't necessarily work on it in the order the clues are provided.
On Rule 34:
I will do quite a few Rule 34 varieties, but no underage or feral characters in erotic situations if you please. I am MLP friendly, but in erotic situations will only draw them in an anthro form! (I don't normally post MLP-related work to my FA on account of most of you not wanting to see it. XD)
On Fetishes:
I try to be flexible about fetishes - what you see in my gallery ought to give you a pretty good idea of what I am willing to draw/like to draw myself. Under no circumstances will I draw cub/loli/shota erotica, scat or watersports. Guro IS acceptable however, but no rape. If you have a question about whether or not I will draw your fetish, please ask me! I am available in notes, private messages and several IM programs.
On Extended Projects:
In this context I define extended projects as multi-image series, comics, and animations of various kinds. While I am willing to do such things, I do want to warn you that these will take time, and may carry some extra risk of non-completion with them if I get too stuck with obstacles or other engagements. I do try to be relatively quick about some artwork, but projects of a certain scale are by their very nature very time consuming even at a consistent pace; there may be times when I feel I'm a bit burned out or uninspired on that particular project, in which event I may switch to another commission or a bit of unwinding art to pass the time, so I can come back to the large project with a fresher perspective.
On Payment:
I am willing to take payment in a variety of forms for my work. These include: Paypal (invoice or direct payment), Squareup (invoice only), Moneygram, BitCoin through GoCelery, snail-mail, certain wished-for Steam games or other items of note for me (value of game or item will determine the possible quality of a final piece). I have decided now that, owing to the possibility of unscrupulous customers and unexpected financial difficulties on either side, I will ask for payment to be made UP FRONT. This has been a bit of a tricky decision for me, but I feel that the possibility for abuse may be too high to allow me to be too lenient. However, in the event that I find myself unable to finish your commission for whatever reason, I will offer a refund, either partial or full depending on the circumstances. I do apologize if this makes things more problematic on your end, but I have been advised by many other artist colleagues that this is the best way to ensure that I do get paid at all. Also note: anyone who attempts to cancel the financial transaction during work or after the work has been completed will be blacklisted from all future commissions, and the commissioner's name will be circulated among other artists to warn them about the untrustworthy nature of the commissioner in question.
On Art Trades:
Yes, I do like to do art trades from time to time! However, you should be aware of what I tend to like to obtain via such art trades - eg, strange fetish-driven erotic artwork! Of course I'm more than willing to adjust what I ask for to fit your particular likes and dislikes as an artist, so don't be afraid to nudge me in a direction you're more comfortable with. I also would ask that you consider the relative skill levels of each of us when figuring out what would make a fair trade - I'd rather not have a situation where one side feels gyped because they received something with MUCH less effort involved than what they gave. I do reserve the right to turn down an art trade if I feel I would not do a good job with it, or if I have more pressing commitments to tend to, or other reasons I will be sure to tell you when I decline. (Naturally, this would also apply to you too - if you feel you are unable to do a good job with a trade or have some other pertinent reason for declining, please let me know when you decline!)
Well, I think that about covers it...if and when I receive commissions they will be listed down below here, so check back frequently to see how things stand!

BlueSky Callin' Me (G)
a year ago
Wow, really been a long time since I've used this feature huh? Guess I ain't been doing much with FA as I used to...then again, with my health as it is, I ain't exactly been putting a high priority on my 2d work, alas.
Anyway, with everything that's been going on everywhere, between Twitter descending into a cesspit, Cohost shutting down, other places hanging on by a shoestring and a prayer...it's about time to do the whole "platform diversification" dance again, huh?
As it happens, I've already made a BlueSky account to get onboard - two of 'em in fact, with possibly a third planned! Gonna be using them somewhat more now, especially since I've kinda gotten into different styles of content creation that aren't exactly ideal for FA, at least not the way I do 'em.
For my 2d artwork, a bit of 3d modeling stuff, and the occasional promo vid for my VR-based assets, you can go to my main account here: https://glenskunk.bsky.social
For my spicier VR-derived malarky in photo and video form, with collaborations and other kinds of goodness, you can find it here: https://twunkskunk.bsky.social
As for my more hardcore erotic artwork (like my FA alt account), that one will be a bit longer in coming along; I'm waiting for a tagging/ID update to BlueSky to go fully live to make that happen so as not to ambush people with the wilder stuff right out in the blue.
As an aside, I've also been debating with myself if I want to lockdown my Twitter accounts and remove all the stuff I posted on 'em to prevent future scraping; between the removal of opt-out for their machine learning tools next month and their changes to the way the block feature works, Twitter no longer feels like a particularly safe or sane place to post (not that it was ever really safe or sane, especially not the past few years...).
If you'll forgive me for speculating for a moment, I suspect the block feature changes and the removal of the opt-out for Grok 2 training is linked; given the tendency for a lot of us artists on there to block AI scraping accounts whenever we find them (to say nothing of the folks who push out endless AI-generated imagery), it makes me feel that the block change was done specifically to allow those scrapers to keep working even if they've been blocked. The management of Twitter is doubling-down on their ML tools in my view, and while I believe the problems with harassment and stalking are definitely worrying effects of the block change, I believe the main goal was to make sure the AI scraping could get the training data they needed regardless of the wishes of the people who make the artwork being trained on.
That basically leaves a lot of us artists with three options - lock/private out Twitter accounts and severely limit who can and cannot access our stuff, add Glaze and/or Nightshade to *all* of our uploads, or up stakes to platforms not so gung-ho about machine learning and training their AIs on their users' content. That last one seems to be the option a lot of folks are taking, with many going to the trouble of deleting everything from their Twitter accounts, locking/privating those accounts and changing the passwords to keep malicious actors from appropriating their online presence for their own gain. We already have problems with scambots and impersonators in the Twitter creative space; can you imagine the damage someone could cause if they got a hold of your original Twitter account to start shilling crypto or machine learning scams?
Will I go through with any of this? At the moment I'm undecided, but the way things are going, it's not a possibility I can ignore or be complacent about. I am definitely planning to move everything that was specific to Twitter over to BlueSky and elsewhere; hell, in the case of two accounts it's already begun in earnest.
And as for FurAffinity? I'm even less decided on that point...I don't really know enough about the current explosion to really say one way or the other that leaving here or staying would be good ideas, but personally speaking it isn't the same anymore. Maybe it's just the aging talking, the carpal tunnel syndrome, all the other madness in my life...I dunno.
Heh, this turned into a bit of a ramble huh? But then got a lot to cover and a lot of space I can fill...but let's end it here for now shall we? I may still post a few odds and sods here, but truth be told I don't consider much of the 2d stuff I've made recently to be particularly worth posting here, too black and white, no color...maybe I should fix that.
