Welcome one and all to the Precarious Pictorium! It won’t plop over, trust me, these supports are more sound than they seem. I am your host, Procompy, purveyor of portraits and artist extraordinaire, humbly offering my spectacular skills of sketching to produce bespoke art for you, yes you, for the low low price of whatever you feel like paying. How can I afford to offer such a grand product for such a nebulous price, you ask? Simple! Money isn’t real, art is invaluable, the entire concept of an economy is based on the flawed notion that goods and services can be quantifiably judged against one another in any meaningful way and belies the folly of mankind! But also I can’t be bothered to set one, so here you go.

So, how does this work?

Simply fill out the form below with the particulars of the character you wish me to draw, including a spoilered list of reference images, mood board, and/or detailed description depending on what you have available. I will only accept one request featuring one character from each user any time slots are open, and I will not accept a request from that user again until all slots are filled and slots are open again. If for any reason you can’t decide between characters you can fill out the forms for several and I will choose between them for you. If I like the request and feel like drawing it I will post a message here acknowledging the claim, then send you a direct message when the art is complete. After receiving the art you can decide how much you would like to pay for it and send the amount and a direct message back. Please note - I neither expect nor particularly welcome a payment amount to be proposed when making a request. It will have no effect on if I choose to work on your art nor how much time and effort I choose to give it. I make art for my own amusement, not as a business transaction. Art I am working on may be completed and uploaded within the hour or up to two weeks after accepting. This has nothing to do with how much time I am spending on the piece and is simply because I am a busy bird with better things to do. After finishing I will consider payment late if it is not sent within two weeks, but would encourage you to send some payment as soon as possible even if you’d like to gift more later so I can be sure our deal is done.

PWYW? Really? Any amount I want?

Yes, really truly any amount you want. Of course, I encourage you to pay what you think the art I’ve produced is worth, but if you are just starting out, or blew everything you had on an auction, or asked for art on a whim and got something way different than you imagined, you can pay what you’re comfortable with and I won’t take offense. Right now I could use pokedollars and would prefer them over anything else, but I am also happy to take payments consisting in any combination of nuggets, gems, pokemon missing from my dex, shiny pokemon, chests and keys, items, or whatever else holds value around here. I will not accept art trades, however, as I don’t have reference sheets for characters ready and prefer to use my own art in most cases.

What are you willing to draw?

I’m confident drawing:
Pokemon, animals, fantastic beasts and creatures (especially griffins and dragons), extinct animals such as dinosaurs, Digimon (depending on complexity)

I can draw:
art styles/detail anywhere between stylized cartoons and painterly realism. Simple mechanisms and accessories. Wings, horns, and other common additions. Fan characters and OCs inspired by specific media, such as HTTYD. Humanoids sporting particularly non-human features. Characters that don’t exist yet and are only a vague concept.

I won’t draw:
Humans or humanoids that look almost exactly like humans, full-bodies of humanoids, backgrounds, anything against TOS including sultry expressions, mecha or complex mechanisms, excessively detailed markings, or closed species

Extra note: I am unwilling to draw designs that were or are adoptables, aka visual character designs created solely to sell the concept to another person rather than created for a specific purpose or to enrich the life of its creator. If I suspect that a request is being made for an adoptable, particularly if it has a toyhou.se, I won’t accept it. This is because I have a moral objection to the concept of the adoptables market and the practice of adoptable creation and has nothing to do with the design itself. This is also true of closed species. If you made a character yourself or commissioned the design but think it may be mistaken for an adoptable due to the use of a free template or attributes commonly used in adoptables, let me know so I can give it due consideration. Additionally, I may turn down any request for any reason not listed here, and you’ll just have to live with that since this is PWYW and I’m here to have fun.

So about that form…

Yes, right, hang on a moment. Ah, this will do.

ThatCatKid - In future, I'd really rather payment be sent after I've chosen whether or not to accept a request and it's completely finished, and what the payment is really doesn't need to be stated, but I am quite partial to eeveelutions so I'm still accepting it.

I'm adding you both to the list of claimed slots and I'll start on your art tomorrow evening after I've gotten some sleep and have free time.

PS: You can make any adjustments to it, I trust what u make

---

glitchly -accepted~
pirate-hunter-zoro: sorry, but its bad form to recreate another artists' interpretation of fandom mashups, especially when that artist is making a living selling art of it. If you can isolate what it is you like about it conceptually I can make my own interpretation (genger + oni? demon hunter characters as pokemon? extra eyes? using the move lick?), but I can't accept that request as is.

---

thats alright, it makes sense, ill give it in a little more detail

Character Name: Orberus, my SMP character.

Props/Accessories: I'm particular about the chain around his neck, and the golden bell hanging from it. Other than that, nothing else is necessary! (EDIT: Hohoho,,, had a thought. If you want to go for a more aggressive look, could you try a spiked collar? Spefically something like this. A wolf collar that livestock guardian dogs wear, and with Orbe's bell on it. Thank you! :D)

Image Style: Transparent and full body, please? But if you'd rather keep it to something smaller, id be just happy to get something drawn by your talents. :3

Expression/Personality: Have fun with it! Despite his scars and mangled tail, Orberus remains one hell of a flamboyant wolf. Although he often means well, ends up being a bit of a posh brute due to his sheltered upbringing, willingness to do anything for those beloved to him, and moral compass somewhere in the skies.

Any expression befitting a beloved, queer-coded Disney villain, really! If you feel like drawing fangs, I'd love to see him more animalistic and snarling.

References: Finally made a Toyhouse page for him just for this, prff. Here! If you need any pointers and notes, please do tell. I love talking about my silly old man.

Anything else: To spare you having to do clothing and all, please feel free to draw him feral! He is a maned wolf, and in canon can drop down to all fours and be barely recognizable as a person, rather than an animal. His past also includes hiding out in a village and pretending to be a sheep dog, so it's apt.

Pirate-Hunter-Zoro: looks good now! Accepted
Arwen: accepted! Your lad looks like a lot of fun

---

Horray! Sorry my brain wasn't working before. School has me stressed not thinking straight

---

No worries, not everyone is familiar with character design code of conduct so I didn't take it the wrong way.
