TRADE STATUS: ASK ME

  • ✦ TRADES ARE CURRENTLY TENT. OPEN Stay tuned for openings once my current offers/trades and commission queue are complete.
  • ✦ If you are interested and don't mind waiting, you can send me a DM inquiring if I would like to do a trade in the future.

  • Currently offering custom character design trades!
  • ✦ Trade Only.  Customs are worth a base price of $300+
  • ✦ DM me if interested

  •  What I will trade for:
  • Dreamies [ ultra dreamies - chams - cs I like - other]
  • Designs by fav designers
  • Characters from my favorites folder [ TH favs ]
  • Custom design trade (mutuals only)
  • HQ/CS designs
  • Characters that fit my prefs
  • Art + characters
  • MYO Slots ( fav CS only )
  • USD - trades only!
  • Lowball offers

  •  COMMISSIONS CLOSED INDEFINITELY 

  •  Why trade only?
    I do not want to take commissions right now- and this is just for fun. I like TH as a way to relax and tinker with my ideas / daydream. I don't like doing customs for money, it feels much more rewarding to me as a trade.

  •  Will you ever take custom commissions?
  • Maybe- but not now. Currently the only way to get a custom from me is to do a trade, sorry!

  •  Can I get a commission of my character instead?
  • Possibly, depending on the complexity. However, I have a queue to finish before I even consider doing this- so for now it's not possible.

  • ✦ What does getting a custom entail?
  • I will design a custom character based on color palette, species, idea, etc. given to me. This will mostly be "artistic freedom" design with minimal revisions, however I will work with you to ensure you are satisfied with the design.

  • ✦ How long will it take to complete?
  • Design will be finished within two-three weeks maximum, ideally less than that. I work on "fun stuff" (like trades) over the weekend.
