Remaking a new one since my older one was over a year old, and I wanted to update some things in general.
I'm itching to make designs, but im not feeling adopts, so a little guidance in peoples wants and the chance to make some people happy with designs sounds like a good way to do some warmup art after the holidays
Plus: I just cleared out my commissions list so im almost completely free (other than a few small things I took on/are almost done), so it seems like a good time to take a side detour to do some experimenting.
Please note: I usually try and do as many as I can because I feel bad if people's aren't responded to. I may be slightly pickier on this one than usual: as I really want to focus on pushing myself, so please don't take it to heart if I am unable to get to yours! More than likely, I might not be inspired for the design you're looking for/am not sure if I can complete it to a degree I'd be happy with.
If for any reason I haven't claimed yours after 2-3 days, or you simply decide you'd rather do something else with it, you can resell/keep/whatever your design at any time- just edit the post to note this so I don't claim it/complete by mistake.
Be aware im accepting them in batches! I accept more as i finish them and 'slots' open up (So that i dont get too backed up/overwhelmed); While i will try to claim asap, i may still claim after the 2 day 'deadline' as i clear up the list
Quick notes/Rules
-All of my designs are subject to my Terms of service. If you have problems with anything there, you can ask me about it, or just not participate. I'm pretty lenient...but I will decline to draw for people I suspect are taking unfair advantage of my work.
-PLEASE do not resell these designs without asking me first. I will more than likely say yes (though preferably with extra art to warrant it) You can trade/gift them at will without asking me. (These are non-profit designs, so it's a little rude to try to profit off my art without at least giving me a heads up) I will do similarly for your designs, if you have specific rules otherwise please note them for me or link to TOS you'd like attached
-You can either make your entry on oekaki under this post, OR if you want to make it off oekaki, you can post directly on this thread.
- You must add me to your thread if posted on oekaki: Else I cannot draw you anything in return!
- I will generally try and match effort as much as I can, since I'm doing these ones slower than past ones- bigger projects will obviously take more time. If your design is simple, mine will be simple in return.
- I do not choose whos to return based on quality of art/design - my main deciding factor is 'can I make something cool with their requests'.
- I won't put a limit on how many you can do, but please don't flood me with a ton at once! If you're inspired to do multiple, that's fine, but if you use the same list/inspirations and don't give me enough to work with I'll probably not do multiple in return
-I may not keep all the designs I claim- as I just have a lot of characters, I might gift them to close friends if they really like them too to try and make sure they're getting the love they deserve/or to develop them together! Please don't be offended if this is the case, just be aware it is a possibility! If you do not want your design transferred for any reason, you can state this in the post and I will note it.
-Please be reasonable with your requests...if you do a simple design/simple feral don't expect something complicated with a ton of accessories/full outfit designs on complicated human or anthro references. Im not going to do it lol
When you post yours:
-PLEASE remember to add me to the thread.
-Give me at MINIMUM: a species (or a few) you might be after (or a general shape...human, feral, anthro,ect) -
And Some inspirations. (Things you like...concepts you want....moodboards,palettes, ect).
-I will also do breedings/combinations of characters. Be aware that your characters must have permission to be used in breedings- I don't know your character's permissions so I will assume they do if you request these.
-I can also do outfit, weapon, or accessory designs of already-existing characters. Link the character and tell me what you want designed for them.
-Note that: I am best with ferals/creatures. Humanoids and anthros I'm not as confident in, as a result I will be more picky on accepting them.
-Note that: I am a visual person more than auditory. Moodboards work great, palettes are great, things like music don't do much to inspire me at all.
Things that I like/concepts I'm looking for:
Things I vibe with:
- Angelic/angels/angel wings/halos
- glows, glowing, crystals
- horns
- Fantasy/magical themes
- OR cyberpunk/scifi is cool too!
- Colorful big cats
- Any species is fine! Even weird ones are chill with me. Anthro/human/feral, knock yourself out
-I'm particurally into big cats or furred dragons right now. Anthro or feral is fine
- Halloween colors/themes
- Roses
- Elegant and flowy!
- I really like collars, i find them fun to draw how they break up the neck fur lol
- High fantasy
- Classy/elegant
- Deep sea creatures, think, critters that could be in subnautica??
Palettes/colors I like:
- Blues, purples, whites, blacks, greys, silver.
- Gold accents
- Greyscale with pops of color
Things I do NOT like:
- Fully natural designs (natural color/natural marking/ect). Natural with unnatural elements/accents is fine
- Green or yellow bases (accents are fine)
- Super cutesy/frilly/lacy, ect
- Hooves
Some SPECIFIC concepts I need designs for:
(I need designs for these story roles to go with other characters. I may add or change as necessary )
-Aunt Tilly needs family! Looking for designs for her kittens or grandkittens. Just fantasy inspired anthro-esque tabby cats/tabaxi. Her husband has passed away/has no design, so you can assume /any/ design or colors for their father/grandfather/ect
-Fluffy noodle dragon friend(s) for Kaekiko
-Literally any halloween themed designs for Hallowdell
-A tourist friend for Jack! Maybe some sort of tropical forest animal/creature?
-Crew for Captain Davey, sea creature/mammal pirates??
-Zephyr needs a significant other, some other sort of superhero/supervillian dog?
-Some little candle-like creatures would be neat for Zelda!
-Gemini Needs some outfit concepts/designs? She's outgoing and energetic, and thats all I really got, so anythings fair game!
-Looking for some new clan mates for Glimmerpelt- So natural warrior cats would be helpful! I don't really have a direction for where to go with her clan yet, so feel free to go nuts, ***PLEASE NOTE: this is lowest priority if you absolutely must do natural designs... I don't want all warrior cats
