Trades and Resales Part 2!

Posted 2 years, 4 months ago by Kuruna

After some deliberation I think I would like to part ways with the majority of my adopted designs πŸ’” it's bittersweet to me but I just haven't been invested in them lately! I'm having fun with my own works again and am focusing on that.Β 

I went ahead and placed everyone who I am most willing to part ways with in my trade / resells folder. Please keep in mind that I will be very picky with characters I am tentative about trading.

For characters that can be resold, I am only seeking USD at the time! They may open up for trades at a later point but I'm prioritizing $$ since school is about to start for me 😭 this excludes any designs made by me tho, feel free to offer trades for those.

Otherwise, feel free to offer art or characters! You can get a good idea of what kind of designs I like by looking at my favs but please keep in mind that my favs are not necessarily a wishlist 😭 I will also consider customs especially from artists I follow!

At this time I am especially looking for knights / princely designs, or goddesses and other "holy" beings. At the moment I highly prefer designs that either allow commercial use upfront or allow it to be purchased later on.

Interest check for customs?

Posted 2 years, 4 months ago by Kuruna

Would u be interested in customs

3 Votes Yes!
2 Votes Maybe?
0 Votes Not at this time, sorry ):

Helloo 😭 basically I would like to make some $$$ before school starts again cuz I've been spending a little irresponsibly (which is entirely on me πŸ’”), and lately I've been wanting to make designs for people Other than myself again but I've had no idea where I should start with it. So I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in customs!

They'd be in this style (I do Not feel comfortable offering more polished art at the time, very sorry about that!)

If you're interested I would also love suggestions on pricing... They may just be PWYW with a minimum price (you'd get more bonus doodles and complexity for higher payments) but I'm not 100% sure yet!

(btw if you're reading this and would be interested in a design trade lmk and I might be interested 😭 I would love more opportunities to branch out with the designs I create)

[Open] Sketch Busts

Posted 2 years, 4 months ago by Kuruna

Hello!! I'm opening some comms for sketch bust at the moment! Here are some examples of recent sketch busts I've drawn:
psamanthe_and_fam__by_toanatolia_dexnbu2


untitled_artwork__9__by_toanatolia_dexnb

They will beΒ $25 each. At this time I'm only allowing one character per image (I want to improve at drawing chara interactions before take comms for more of them </3), but feel free to request multiple slots, though please be aware I'm unlikely to take more than 3 slots at one time.




Things to keep in mind:
- I tend to pick colours by eye rather than colour picking directly from the reference, so I would recommend against comming me if you're particular about how you want the colours to look!

- I tend to colour both above and below the sketch layer (for an example of this, take a look at the appearance of the jewelry vs. the appearance of the skin on the second drawing!), if this is something that would bother you please lmk.

- While these shouldn't take too long to finish because of their simplicity, please give me at least 2 weeks to complete each bust. If you'd need it done sooner please lmk! If something comes up or I feel I'll need more time for your character, I'll let you know.

- Detailed characters may be slightly simplified.

- Because these are sketches, I will only check in with the initial sketch before colouring. You're welcome to ask me for colour edits after the drawing is done if needed, though!

- Feel free to ask for my discord if you'd rather chat on there!



If you're interested, please comment or PM me with the link to the character you'd like drawn, expression of the character, any other details you'd like to include, and paypal address (I'll send an invoice!)

I have a (sort of rough looking on desktop...) carrd with more information (including my TOS), however examples are outdated (and I literally cannot update them because carrd crashes every time I try to open up the editor </3) so please keep that in mind! You can inquire about other comm types listed on the carrd, however polished busts are currently closed because I am not happy with my lineart atm!

✨Sales and Trades

Posted 2 years, 4 months ago by Kuruna

Realized I never made a bulletin about it πŸ’” I'm taking offers on some characters!

Trade / Sell folder | includes a lot of Pippo designs πŸ’– I'm only looking for USD for designs that can be resold (excluding the design by me in there, feel free to offer trades for that one). Feel free to offer art or designs! I'm not looking for anything super specific atm but I'll be a bit picky πŸ’– outfit designs are welcomed tho, and feel free to offer customsΒ 

Im also taking offers on designs in my Aurelius folder since I haven't been using them ✨ Ianthe, Amaltheia, Serenity and Harmonia can be resold, feel free to ask about prices.

(PS: I'm willing to trade 1 design from the Aurelius folder and 1 design from the trade / sell folder for the Nadopt design from here, excluding Aurelia and Amaltheia)

Thoughts on art

Posted 2 years, 4 months ago by Kuruna

Making a bulletin for the first time since my bday in early November πŸ’” anywaysΒ 

I've been having a lot of thoughts about art lately πŸ’– I took what felt like a year long break from it, I think I stopped drawing almost all together until late 2020. This is partly cuz I switched to a new art program and of course had to actually use it to try it out, but..... I'll admit that a certain pompous former king and his bovine companion are a huge reason why I was able to exit that funk I was in πŸ’” I'm not someone to draw a lot of fanart or make fan content of any kind really but for months and months and months they were all I could draw, but it was an improvement from not drawing at all. Sometimes a break from the norm can do you good!Β 

I also realized that my art style itself at the time was just making me miserable... It was somewhat more realistic irt proportions, and while I love to look at styles like that, it's not the kind of style I can draw in myself bc everything just starts to look bad to me after awhile. I actually went back to old sketchbooks from middle school and highschool for ideas and inspiration... I've been using the air brush tool again bc I think it's so much fun to use! It was something I stopped doing cuz I knew ppl considered it unprofessional, but I think it looks great. I also just sort of went back to some of my first interests, which was a lot of 90s fantasy anime (and some harem stuff unfortunately πŸ’”)Β 

Getting into Hades Game also rekindled my interest in history and mythology, so I'm reading for fun more than I have in years too. At the moment I'm (very slowly!) reading the Iliad as well as Aspects of Death in Early Greek Art and Poetry which has been rly fascinating and has a lot of things I would love to incorporate into my own works. Doing actual research for my world building has been really fun, the world and is so vast and wonderful and there's so many things to look at and draw inspiration from... I don't really know where I'm going with this all 😭 but basically I think I've improved my relationship with art lately... I hope I can continue to do so into 2022.

Happy birthday to... Me πŸ’–

Tentative Resales 🌼

Posted 2 years, 10 months ago by Kuruna

The more I think about it, the more I realize I would like to focus more on my own designs and stories than my adopted ones πŸ’– I love them plenty and love seeing the unique designs other people make, but I think overall I am more invested in my own!

For this reason I'm opening up some designs for potiential resale. Please be aware that I may change my mind and/or remove designs from this tag at certain points πŸ™ I do not currently have prices listed so please feel free to ask if you're interested in anyone!
