Painted backgrounds take ~4-10 hours ✪ ^ note that I am technically severely undercharging (~$6 an hour) -- this is a conscious choice of mine, if you aspire to offer commissions, you are not required to lowball! Art has value and if you can charge more, do so ✪ I undercharge because a) I enjoy the craft b) I prefer more buyers+lower prices to less buyers+higher prices c) I want people to be able to afford art lol ✪ If you have questions about Krita, please check the official tutorials/manual before coming to me! I am a terrible software troubleshooter lol https://docs.krita.org/en/ . . ✨✨✨THINGS I LIKE ✨✨✨ ✪ Shattered Pixel Dungeon (best mobile game) ✪ My fandoms are pretty much limited to Warriors, SPD, non-disney Star Wars movies ✪ Music: MCR, Pendulum, Mother Mother, P!ATD, Julian Guba, movie soundtrack scores ✪ Dinosaurs, vultures, tigers ✪ i really like 5-point-stars lol ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ . . ✴️✴️✴️THINGS I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT✴️✴️✴️ ✪ Tell me about your day! idc if it feels insignificant, i like talking to you guys ✪ Character design/OCs ✪ My ocs https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/220938966/ ✪ Graphic design geeky stuff ✪ Nutrition/food science geeky stuff ✪ I am/have been through multiple EDs and if you need a random safe space to talk, I am here ❣ iykyk . . ☹️☹️☹️THINGS I DON'T VIBE WITH☹️☹️☹️ ✪ internet drama--callouts, arguments, pointless conflict ✪ influencer/reaction culture ✪ Please do not advertise, invite, etc to me on my profile or this project!
