Drawn for the characters page for the webcomic. Accidentally got a little too detailed & perhaps a bit too anime.
Commissions are currently CLOSED
.........
Commissions are currently CLOSED .........
While the most important parts of this document are in bold and gold, I strongly suggest that you (or your lawyer if you’re that fancy) read everything here as well as the terms of service because submission of payment for part or all of an art commission constitutes a legal agreement & these are the terms.
At the very least, read the first 2 or 3 bullet points of every section.
My Socials
You can contact me using Discord: [ LINK ]
You can also find and follow my art on these websites:
Bluesky | This Blog | Instagram | Tumblr | X/Twitter ( inactive ) | Threads ( automated ) | Cara | Artstation ( temporarily inactive )
but please don’t use them to try to contact me because some of them are automated!!
Payment
I accept payment exclusively through PayPal. This is non-negotiable, as other payment services available to me do not provide consumer or seller protections.
Payment is collected up front in two stages, each up front: 50% to begin the rough draft and 50% to begin completion of the artwork.
Once labor has already begun (in the case of the rough draft) or has already been performed (in the case of the final draft,) payment for said labor becomes non-refundable per state and federal law. You are subject to both by entering a legal agreement with a business located here.
Subscribers on Twitch, Patreon, and Ko-Fi may be eligible for discounts in some cases. Check the form for details.
Pricing
Prices for each commission type, as well as fees for add-ons such as cars and furniture, are determined based on the average number of hours it takes to complete the type of artwork that has been ordered, combined with a calculation of what constitutes a living wage wherever I am living. As such, pricing may be subject to change over time.
Subscribers on Twitch, Patreon, and Ko-Fi may be eligible for discounts in some cases. Check the form for details.
Pricing adjustments cannot be made on artworks that have already been completed and paid in full
Artwork: Time
Commissions take between 1 and 4 weeks on average. Work is performed in order based on a “first come, first served” queue. This means that the turnaround time will be based on the order that commission requests were received and approved in. In times of high demand and at the end of every school year ( March - May, ) that time may need to be extended.
Subscribers on Twitch, Patreon, and Ko-Fi may be eligible for early access to the request form (and thus priority in the queue) in some cases.
Revisions will generally be allowed freely and without limit during the rough draft stage. When the final rendering stage has begun and the second half of payment has been collected, revisions are left up to the artist’s discretion and may or may not incur additional charges dependent upon complexity and time constraints.
Revisions after the artwork is complete are limited to a maximum of 60 days after the date of completion, a maximum of 2 revisions, and will incur additional charges.
Artwork: Communication & Conduct
Please keep an eye on your inbox during the rough draft stage, as you will receive progress updates that require your input and/or approval.
PLEASE DO NOT POST / SHARE / REUPLOAD THE ROUGH DRAFTS I SEND YOU WHILE THE WORK IS STILL IN PROGRESS.
Communication must be conducted in the same place throughout. Use the same chat, DM threat, etc. every time to keep all communications related to your commission in the one singular place.
PLEASE DO NOT USE THE CONTACT FORM ON THIS WEBSITE FOR ANYTHING RELATED TO COMMISSIONS; I DO NOT CHECK MY EMAIL ENOUGH FOR THAT!
Please do not harass me because you see me online doing something other than drawing before your commission is complete. I have a work schedule that I do not deviate from, which means I have days off from drawing. You may be banned from commissioning me for behavior like this.
Artwork: Livestream
I may livestream the process of drawing your commission. There is a place in the form for you to specify if you don’t want me to do that. If you forget to check the box, contact me on discord as soon as possible. Do not use the contact form on this website. Please only use discord.

Seven

Working Title Goes Here
A struggling punk band from the metroplex and their entourage go on tour, looking for monsters and conspiracies along the way.
— The Band —
Violet Miura-Vogel
she/her; trans girl
☆ The undisputed leader of the gang and the reason the lot of them got together and started solving mysteries to begin with. She’s still a loud, messy, disorganized, extroverted party girl who loves to sing, dance, and make music on the surface, but just underneath she’s just trying to keep it all together after inheriting her mother’s old salon and spa and becoming a werewolf involuntarily. ADHD hobby-hopping has left her with a surprising range of occasionally-useful skills.
CJ
they/them; Not a woman but not not a woman
☆ Violet’s viciously supportive partner / the band’s keyboardist and (occasionally) composer and lyricist. Day job: esthetician. They can be easily irritated and even downright catty, but it’s clear that they still care a great deal about their friends/bandmates and would do just about anything for them.
While they want to be a werewolf just so, so badly, they haven’t found anyone willing to bite them.
Alex Wood
she/her
☆ Alex is a painter and bassist with an undeniable zest for life who loves monsters, both real and fake. When they’re real, she loves to ponder their role in nature and effect on the environment. When they’re fake, she loves learning about how the illusion was pulled off and the craftsmanship and creativity involved. She also designs the outfits that the band wears while performing (if it wasn’t obvious already based on how she dresses when they’re not performing.)
— The Entourage —
Mortimer “Tim” Miura
he/him, it’s whatever
☆ I feel like spiders are crawling all over my arms.
DeMarcus Vaughn
he/him; trans man
☆ Due to his height and build (and perhaps also the known fact that he’s an out and proud werewolf,) DeMarcus is often seen and described by others as “intimidating,” but in reality, he’s a really sweet and soft-spoken guy.
— The World —
Mayuko “Yuka” Miura
she/her, cis woman, deceased
Harmony & Justice Graves
she/her & she/her, c4t lovebirds
Just like last year, this list ONLY includes what I’m currently using to make content for YouTube, Instagram, and my other social media. What’s in the studio I use at work is simply too much to go over at this point.

I went back to Texas again.
I’m begging you not to take it personally if you received this link instead of a personalized reply. I get literal hundreds of replies to and comments on my posts per day, many of which are the same questions over and over. I don’t have the time any more to go through them individually.

Where can I read your comic?
You can’t…yet. While I appreciate how much interest people are showing in the idea, the final rewrite is currently still in progress and thus I haven’t finished the art yet. I hope to release it around October 2025, with a few one-page shorts potentially coming out before then.
There’s a locked page on this website that will open up access to the full comic when it is time, and an announcement will be posted to the blog and my socials.
What brushes do you use? [ Digital Art ]
I usually use the “real G pen” setting in Clip Studio paint.
I often use brushes made by Vegalia for some hairstyles. I don’t use the brushes as-is, though — I line over them so everything is stylistically consistent. ( You’ll see a lot of people in the videos advertising the brushes do the same thing. I believe this is how they’re intended to be used! )
Skincare

Skincare ...
Why won’t you give me free one-on-one advice if you post generalized advice for free?
If we’re being totally candid, it’s because of legal liability. You are not my client and you didn’t sign a waiver.
I’m also a licensed professional (in Texas) and it is completely unreasonable to expect me to do my job for free (and not in Texas)
Trans Stuff
...
Trans Stuff ...
[Insert most of the common questions about my gender here] ?
I’m agender.
I’m TMA if that’s a term you use.
Yes, I’ve had surgeries.
Yes, I’m on hormones.
Yes, nonbinary people can and do do those things.
Who did your FFS?
You do not want to go to my FFS surgeon. She gave me a cosmetic rhinoplasty that I did not ask for and did not consent to, then ghosted me when I raised concerns. She also called the police on me when I reported her to the Texas state board of medicine for violating HIPAA. There is a post available to read about what she did to my nose on my main Instagram page.
How long have you been on hormones?
I’ve been on HRT for almost ten years, though I have swapped the proportions around wildly several times and I only started taking progesterone at the end of 2023.
What are your dosages?
Whatever gets my levels into the range I want them to be in.
This always upsets people to hear, but hormone replacement therapy is not a “one size fits all” deal. You can’t just copy the regimen of someone whose body you want and end up with their exact physique — especially not if you’re ignoring factors like age, heritage, diet, exercise and daily habits.
I also refuse to give out what could legally be considered “free medical advice.”
Have you had a BBL?
No. I have a gym membership and naturally fat legs. Please stop asking me about this.
As many long-time fans of my content are already aware, I decided to focus on supporting real people and local artists when collecting pins. I’ve done my best to keep track of which artists created the pins on my jacket since I made this decision toward the end of 2023. Unfortunately, I’ve been collecting pins since 2004, so I don’t have sources listed for all of them…yet. I’ll be adding to it whenever I track down sources for the older ones.
For the commerical / branded pins, you can (usually) find them on eBay. Here’s a tutorial on how to search for something if you happen to need it <3
Please do not send me emails asking about my enamel pin collection!
Pins on my Jacket:
Art Gallery of Hamilton — Transgender Pantone Polaroid
Botanical Bright — Most butterflies and moths came from this artist
Bexa Boutique — “Take your meds” pin
Goat Paws — Cat no Bananya button
Kentucky Moon Designs — Most of the butterflies and moths
Mother of the Moon — Glow-in-the-dark bat pin
Official Exclusive NYC — Most photography pins, Kermit polaroid pin, keyboard pin
Vylirium — “Fuck off” pin; Chubby cat in devil costume
Pins on My Wall
“Alright, get in” — Kinokuniya Bookstore, limited time only
Pins that I like, but don’t have yet:
( and an obligatory link to my wish list )
I have them all! This will be filled back out when I find some more!
Sneaking one drawing from November into this post:
After getting some good news for the first time in a good, long while, I ended up feeling VERY motivated to resume work on the comic (working and/or final title still not decided.)
I opened Violet and CJ’s model sheets from three months ago to put the finishing touches on them and quickly came to the realization that the quality of my art has already improved a lot since September:
It’s a subtle difference, yet also huge…?
I felt like I had to give this treatment to the other heads I’ve drawn so far before I began work on any new ones:
Instagram | Tumblr | Twitter | Bluesky
It’s worth mention that these were also much faster to complete than other cleanup I’ve done on my own art. I’ll have to get even faster if I hope to actually finish the comic, but as of now I’m reaching a point where I can decide to draw something and not have to dedicate the entire day to it…
Quickies
Got some requests over on Tumblr to draw my characters wearing things. There’s something really funny about the fact that (at least for now) one of the only full length images of Jean-Claude in existence is them wearing an entire Hot Topic while visibly uncomfortable with that fact.
( Here’s the list of prompts that I used at the time, but keep in mind that if it’s not October 2023 any more, I will have stopped taking the requests. )

Diet Dr. Portra
I’ve personally found that the Fuji X Weekly “Portra” recipes tend to skew toward a sort of “Mountain Dew” yellow that just doesn’t match the results I get when shooting actual Portra 160, 400, and 800. The sky was also looking VERY green in a lot of photos I took with their recipe. I’m also admittedly not a fan of removing sharpness or adding grain in-camera — I would strongly prefer to do it later in Lightroom.
My goal with this recipe was to create something that would not look quite so out of place when I shared an image straight out of camera on Instagram next to countless photos taken on medium format and 35mm film.

Here's the finished look from last night's stream! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to watch 💝 the bangs are giving me a little bit of an Elvira vibe this time.
We're currently playing Okami and Super Mario Galaxy on Mondays and Wednesdays! If you miss a stream, an archive of past streams is available on my Twitch channel, my secondary YouTube channel, and my Patreon.
Makeup takes a good chunk of time, so I think I'll be doing my face *before* the games for a while so we can devote more of each stream to getting through the story and exploring.
