Near the end of artfight, I will be posting a list of 2 words that buyers can pick from. Then I will make a surprise design based on those two words. The buyer can pick for the design to be completed on the chibi base $27 or full base $40

I am looking for suggestions for 2 word surprise designs. I really enjoy the ones I've done over and over (example: rainbow alien) but this time, I am looking for ones I haven't done a lot, or have never done. (though don't say steampunk, that is beyond my skill level)
If you would like to comment ideas for 2 word surprise designs, please go ahead! But please be aware:

1. If you suggest an idea, I may or may not use it. you will not get anything if I use your idea
2. If I use your idea, you do not get any automatic claim of it or any of the others
3. If I use your idea, you do not get any holds on the one you thought of

No holds in general for anyone on anything

I will post the opening bulletin for these on one of the last days of July, and begin working on them mid August

See here for some characters for sale! contact the seller if interested https://toyhou.se/LordHouseFire/characters/folder:7552984

This is just a small complaint Bulletin, then a thanks at the bottom
Does this happen to anyone else on A03 who has a story there? The only comments I get (except one that was a real actual comment) Are people advertising their commissions, example "This would make a great comic, I can make this happen, contact me on discord" etc.
They also put some compliments in the comment which sound so hollow when followed by an advertisement for their commissions. They probably use the same copy-pasted response on everyone's fanfictions.
And the worst one was an obviously AI generated comment, where I think they had an AI read my fanfiction and come up with a "thoughtful" comment. The comment used the characters names that are in the story but the comment itself didn't make sense (Example: "I'm so happy that X and Y finally admitted their feelings for A and B!" But X and Y characters don't do that in the story.) It freaks me out that they had an AI read my story.

Do these tactics work? Do they actually get commissions this way? And I bet they just use AI to make an image and call that a commission :(

I know there's a way to turn off all comments, but... I mean I do want people to comment if they want to, I just wish it was a REAL commenter who is reading the story and not someone wanting me to buy their commission.

The thanks part of the bulletin

Thanks to those who said they would read the story/stories from my last bulletin. If you did start reading them, I hope you had fun. I am still in the process of uploading "A Heart in the Dark". I have taken a break uploading bc of artfight.
Idk if anyone else wants to start reading my story/stories, but just incase you do, here's the link https://archiveofourown.org/users/Kainaa/works Start with Lion King 3 Royal Journey.

Also thank you to everyone that left kind words on my previous bulletin about my mom's death. Thank you guys so much, everyone had thoughtful and kind words, and I'm sorry i didn't respond to anyone but just know I read every one of them and appreciate them all. It has now been a month since my mom died. I am going back and forth between being totally fine, and then remembering something good she did for me as a kid, and feeling sad.
(Not a lot of you guys know, but we had a complicated relationship, even when I was a kid. She was one of my abusers and bullies growing up, but then had this other side where she was an amazing mom. It's complicated.)
But that's all, see ya later

It has now been a week since my mom died, I can't believe it's been a week already

Thanks to those who left kind words on the last bulletin
I am trying to get back into things (I still may not be very talkative) and do artwork regularly again but I am also still taking comfort in re-uploading my TLK Fanfictions to ArchiveOfOutOwn /A03. This has been very therapeutic.

This time, I would like to actually invite people to follow me there-- if you want to. If you read TLK fanfiction, maybe you'll feel like reading mine. The first one was written more than 20 years ago. (it has been updated/edited many times since then to fix a lot of stuff)

TLK3 is fully uploaded there
TLK4 is fully uploaded there
Next will be A Heart in the Dark (not started uploading)
Then TLK5

I would appreciate any follows or comments if anyone feels like it. You might really like the stories, I hope you'll check it out :3

Just wanted to say to not feel offended or alarmed if I am distant, not talkative, not saying anything at all, etc.
My mom is very near death and I am dealing with that

I don't have any owed work, so you may continue seeing an adopt here and there, but right now I'm really spending a lot of time re-writing my old TLK fanfiction and uploading it to A03. It is a good distraction and feels kind of good.
Idk if anyone looking at this wants to read this edited version of my TLK fanfiction, but just incase you do, the link is in the TLK fanfiction folder.

This wasn't meant to be a plug for my TLK fanfiction, I promise. This was meant to just tell people why I am very quiet, distant, etc (more than usual).

So yeah, see ya later

This is just for fun but if you would like to drop 3 emojis together for me to try to make an adopt from, comment them here

you can comment multiple times (give multiple sets of 3) but only give 3 emojis per one design (and nothing else)

I will pick the ones I want to do (if any) and what base to do it on

If you submit a suggestion, and I make a design out of it, you do not get automatic claim on that design, and I don't do holds for the ones you suggest or others

The design I'm currently working on is      

I ALREADY DONE BEEN EXCITED SINCE FEBRUARY

So since everybody is making a post about artfight, here is my post about it!
Just in case I have any new followers that don't already have me on artfight, here is my profile https://artfight.net/~Kainaa

This year will be similar to last year with how much artwork I expect to get done. I will be out of town for a portion of the fight so I'll be missing about a weeks worth of art. I still hope to draw about 100 drawings for others, and would like to get most everyone back that attacks me. I would like to chain with my usual friends/mutuals !

See ya there

$25

Discounted fullbody art of characters I designed
This will not have shading, I will pick the pose, but you can pick the expression if you want

Example

The character has to be one I designed. It is okay if you have made edits to the character. I will not be doing characters that have had so many edits that it no longer looks like I designed it.
This discount will not be for super complex designs. (I will let you know if the one you want is too complex)
Simple designs will get a discount chosen by me.

Comment here to get one, you can get as many as you want, but no holds, payment due upfront.
