This could be anything from a simple sketch to a quick doodle. It may be colored or B&W. It's an Anything-Goes-Grab-Bag gamble. Not negotiable, not refundable.

🌸 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 🌸

🌸 Why have prices changed?
     Prices have changed due to time restraints versus time investment. I would like to be paid at least $20+ an hour which I believe is a fair hourly rate. Anything less would be selling myself short.     As of 2024, all prices have been adjusted. If you have asked about a commission prior to the change (and I do keep track of these things), you are grandfathered into the old price. However, any future works will now reflect the new price.🌸 What is required to request a commission?
     Please have References readily available as well as an idea or reference for the pose of the character. Real-life photos are acceptable references. If you do not have a pose in mind, please be specific in what you would like.     ⚠️I will not draw multiple pose sketches to pick from.⚠️     Other References can include in-game screenshots or other artwork of your character. If using in-game screenshots, please use close-up pictures via GPose or Narcissus - this helps to see accessories and details much easier!🌸 What is the turn around time for commissions?
     It varies. Sometimes a few days, maybe a few weeks. Nothing more than a month unless it’s a long-term project and I’ve contacted you about delays. I work based on my mood and level of inspiration and motivation. Sometimes, I don’t feel inspired or work at all, and sometimes I will bust my balls to push out as much work as humanly possible in a single sit-down.ALL "MMO LITE/DELUXE" COMMISSIONS ARE CONSIDERED LONG-TERM. These commissions will usually take several months to complete pending mood, current queue, and other time restrictions. If you chose this option, you understand and acknowledge that your project is considered a long-term work and I will work on other projects in the meantime.
     ⚠️ Don't even ask me about these anymore, lmao. ⚠️🌸 Will you stream my comm?
     Due to time restraints, I cannot offer to fully stream the drawing.🌸 Can artwork be used in blog themes and avatars?
     Only if you are the commissioner can you use the artwork in your personal or character themes. If you need the image cropped or resized to a certain size, please let me know and I’ll do it for free.🌸 Do you offer NSFW commissions?
     Yes. You can find prices for my NSFW & Pin-Up commission options here.

🌸 I N F O R M A T I O N 🌸

📧 Contact me!
     You can contact me via Bluesky, Discord, or Email. I'm fairly flexible with my schedule, so drop a message whenever. If you have any questions regarding any of my art, please contact me - I promise I will not eat you. It is far easier to message me directly to ask about prices and limitations than to guess and assume otherwise. I highly encourage potential clients to ask me first. C:⚙ Complexity
     The more detailed a character, the higher the price. Characters with extensive detailing will be charged extra. This includes, but is not limited to: elaborate hair designs, animal ears and tails (Miqo'te, Aurin, etc), cybernetics (Mordesh, SWTOR, etc). I no longer do complex armor designs. (See "Armor" below.)⚒ Armor
     Because this comes up a lot: armor is anything that can be Glamoured or Transmogged onto your character that isn't basic clothing. If it's protective gear - even if it's a robe - that constitutes as armor. In some cases, light and medium armor designs are permissible. Heavy armor (such as plate and heavy chain) is very limited as these consume the most of my time.     The best case scenario is to ask first. Provide references of the armor you'd like drawn and I will determine if it is permissible to my terms.💲 Pricing and Fees
     All prices are in USD. These prices are final and non-negotiable.
With the exception of NSFW/Pin-Ups, all OTHER prices are the same for two or more characters in the same picture. (I will not discount additional characters.)     Payment is made via PayPal, either by Email, Invoice, or Quick Link or through Ko-Fi.     💱 WoW Gold: In certain situations, I will allow the exchange of WoW gold for art. The amount of gold should equate to the current price of a WoW token. For example, if a drawing you want costs $20 and a WoW Token's price is 150,000 gold, you would pay 150,000 gold. If a drawing you want costs $40 and a WoW Token's price is 150,000 gold, you would pay 300,000 gold. (This is ONLY available to Moon Guard (Alliance-US) and Wyrmrest Accord (Horde-US) players only. Please contact me first to see if this exchange is available.✅ Will draw:
     ● All general humanoids (Dwarves, Elves, WildStar races, Star Wars races, etc.)
     ● General NSFW and nudes. (Limited themes; message me.)
     ● Characters from WoW, FFXIV, SWTOR, Wildstar, GW2, OCs, etc.
     ● Original and Table-Top characters.❌ Will NOT draw:
     ● Furries (Animals and bestial races.)
     ● Mechanical (Cars, mechs, etc.)
     ● Children
     ● NSFW: Non-con, children/child-like, gore.

♥ The Story of Leben AKA "Hop-Goblin" ♥

Hi, my name is Leben!
In German, it means "to live" / "to have life".

Twelve years ago, my spouse and I were making a stop at PetCo for some dog supplies when we happened upon the adoptable pets on display. There, we saw two young males together (littermate brothers) that I immediately fell in love with. And that day, we went home with dog food and two kittens: Leben and Himmel.I would say the rest is history, but it's not.I've never met nor owned such sociable and loving cats. From the very first day we brought them home, Leben was full of noise and affection, greeting us with loud meows and thunderous purring. He was attached to us whereas his brother was skeptical and scared (and we never blamed him)!To this day, he is still loud and affectionate. He greets us when we come into whatever room he's in. He likes to 'butt in' on conversations if he hears us talking, meowing up his own version of the story. He loves to be picked up, held like a baby, and absolutely loves belly rubs.Last month (June 2025), Sarge and I were devastated when we learned he has cancer...

Not only did we fear losing our precious purr-box of love, we worried what would happen to Himmel who is socially dependent on his brother for a lot things. They are insanely close, and the idea of Himmel losing his brother was also spreading despair among the house. As Himmel is much smaller, we believe he is the runt of the litter and thus Leben is his protector and means to find safety.Even while living under the same roof, Himmel will yowl for his brother if he can't find him. Himmel will cry and get our attention if only for us to show him where Leben may be hiding. When we moved into our new house, it was Leben who helped Himmel find all the safe places to hide - namely under the bed and in the closet. Leben also taught Himmel where the food and litterboxes were, and rarely does Himmel venture out of our bedroom without his brother present.We cannot express how important it is for Leben to remain in Himmel's peripheral. Without Leben, there is no Himmel.

This is my brother, Himmel!
In a few Eastern European countries, Himmel means "heaven" or "sky" -- even if he is from the Void.

So what happened? Two months ago, we noticed a lump growing on Leben's back left leg. We thought it may be just a cyst and it would go away on its own as most cysts in animals do, but as the weeks went by, the lump started to grow and it was growing up and around his leg.We took him to our local veterinarian who did a biopsy and said the results would come back in a week... Only it took three weeks, and by then the mass had grown twice as big. The results were painfully reported to us, as feared - a malignant cancer that was looking to spread to the rest of his body, and there were only two ways to go about it:Remove the limb completely or go into palliative care, all pending on the results of another x-ray and scan.Dr. Moore said that if the updated x-ray and scans looked "clean" and cancer-free, it would be safe to remove the limb without worry of it spreading to the rest of his body. (There would also still be a chance of some microscopic bit that could slither off elsewhere, but it would be too difficult to detect.)(DM me if you wish to see his post-op incisions for verification.)

All that to say, Sarge and I waited a few days before deciding on what would be best for our Bestest Boy: do the second scans, and if they're clean, do the amputation and lose the leg. This was optimal timing as I had to leave out of state for a few days, so we posted Leben for his scans, surgery, and boarding while I was away. This way Leben would get all the professional and proper care needed post-surgery.While on my trip, Dr. Moore called me personally to say Leben did very well during the surgery and she found no additional issues. Five days later, I came home and picked up my boy and his bill. We paid for the full amount, knowing the estimate (top pic) ahead of the actual procedure (bottom pic).In short, we're not looking for hand-outs so much as we're looking for anyone who is willing to go the extra mile and help make Leben's life more comfortable.

Look at him go!

The BIG Update:

As almost everyone knows, Leben's post-surgery recovery has been absolutely fantastical. Leben has adapted very well to his limited mobility and takes it in stride by hopping along at a normal pace given his size and weight. Dr. Moore said he looks great and the incision healed nicely. As of July 23rd, his stitches have been removed and he's scheduled for a thorough check-up in four months.Being a tripod does not limit him much if at all; twice we've caught him up in the tall cat tree, and he can jump into the bigger litter box with ease. His favorite spot to hide is under the couch cover where he'll sleep for hours on end.He absolutely loves the new towels and cat bed he received from his generous donators. He gets ample love and attention daily, and he still hops out of bed to greet Sarge every day after work.Leben's recovery has been a big inspiration for us all, and we are eternally grateful for all the friends and family members who have provided aid. Seriously, we are SO GLAD to have SO MANY WONDERFUL FRIENDS!!From Leben, Himmel, Pj and Sarge: Thank you, thank you, thank you!

These are pictures from BEFORE his surgery.

Proof that these two are very talkative boys! (Pre-op)

A personal 'thank you' from Leben and Himmel!
