I specialize in character drawing; I do both commissions and customs, and I can also do gifs or short animations!
Additionally, I do various fiber crafts, posted on Tumblr; I also have a crochet pattern published for free on Ravelry! (See icons below)
To limit unauthorized AI scraping of my work, Tumblr and Toyhouse are only viewable by logged-in users; sorry for any possible inconvenience.

Ways of contacting me, in order of preference (and by the speed with which I am likely to respond). I typically operate during the daytime of the GMT+1 timezone.Please include in your message rough details of what you are looking for (namely the size of drawing, species of your character, and background complexity; though more details are always appreciated!)(To limit unauthorized AI scraping of my work, Tumblr and Toyhouse are only viewable by logged-in users)

Commission Info

Last Update: 24th August 2025

Calculated for the primary character; each additional character will only be charged for the base price (outlined in sections Colored and Lineart Only below). Character with the highest total cost will be considered primary.I understand that my system may be somewhat unusual; feel free to reach out for a quote if you are unsure!Colored:

Headshot/Bust: €7 (up to 2 limbs)Lineart Only:
Fullbody: €10 (up to 6 limbs)
Halfbody: €5 (up to 4 limbs)
Headshot/Bust: €3 (up to 2 limbs)Wings of any type count towards the limb total; the limit is imposed due to the complexity of additional limbs noticeably increasing work time.
Additional limbs are +5€ per each started pair; may be negotiated if the additional limbs do not have a too complex anatomy (such as the wings of insects, SilkWings or HiveWings, as they have four wings of lower complexity by default) or if only part of them is in frame. Extra heads on the same torso will be counted as an additional bust.Shading: +€5 for full/halfbody, +€2 for headshot/bustBackground:
Transparent, solid, simple pattern/shape or gradient: Free!
More complex, but not as detailed as the character: +€5
