TheGreatDame's Bulletins


Hey just wanted to make a bulletin to notify people that I have added a few more characters to my design purge currently going on! (A lot of cats ngl) I'm mostly looking to sell them for USD but I might be tempted to trade a character for a design of equal or higher value!

    Here is a link to all of the characters with the purge tag: https://toyhou.se/TheGreatDame/characters/folder:all/tags:1/taga:1/tagged:purge 

If you want to offer a character trade just know that I lean more towards domestic cat designs or TTRPG humanoid designs! (They don't have to be *exactly* DnD, Pathfinder, or brand specific races- I'm pretty loose on that stuff). 


Also if you haven't seen I have two sketched cat design auctions ongoing. So far none of them have bids so feel free to check them out.

Hey I am opening up my fullbody commissions for only $10 each! You can even request some free shading and lighting if you'd like!

I don't have a limit on slots or characters for each order and I plan to finish each commission in less than a week from the day it was ordered. (If you order 4+ characters however it might take another week or two but I'll try to release them consistently. For example: 2 in the first week and 2 the second week.)

If you need the art finished within a time limit I will gladly try and work with it- just please tell me when you order. <3

I am open to feral, anthro, and humanoid characters!

You can see examples of my art on ToyHouse and from my recent ArtFight

You can also find some good examples of my art in my sta.sh~

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Important Edit: All revenue from these commissions will be going towards the rent due at the end of the month! 

I've been having a hard time getting a job and hope that by the start of November I'll finally have a job and be able to fully support myself while I attend college. I need to raise around $200 for rent so honestly any amount helps. I feel bad for asking like this- but just know that genuinely I will repay every dollar spent. If you have any specific requests or anything or any funky combinations of art you'd like to try my dms and comments are always open!
     - For $1+ I'll make simple headshots/icons for characters.
     - For $5+ I'll make emojis/simple custom designs.
     - For $10+ I'll make a fullbody with free optional shaking and lighting if wanted/medium complexity custom designs.
     - For $20+ I'll do entire scenes with characters, backgrounds, shading and all as well as more complex custom designs.

*P.S. All custom lines will have original lines unless you request otherwise. You can be as descriptive/specific as you want but their complexity will depend on the price. (For example a simple design might be a calico cat while a complex design would be like a DnD wizard that has a bunch of bags and potions. If you want more examples for the difference between simple, medium, and complex I can definitely give more!)

I also have a small character purge going on if you'd like to check that out as well: https://toyhou.se/TheGreatDame/characters/folder:all/tags:1/taga:1/tagged:purge

Hey

Howdy! I just wanted to apologize for my long stretch of silence from a lot of folks. I know I still owe some people art and I deeply apologize how long it has been taking. 

There have been irl reasons for my absence and it mostly relates to mental health and some other topics I am not really comfortable mentioning. 

One I *can* bring up though is that I moved! Yaaaaay! Tbh it feels a bit weird and since I moved I have really disconnected from the internet and art and all the friends I talk to online. It's been strange. Not to mention returning to college classes has just added to the stress and I feel like I am letting people down. 


Whatever the case before I head to my next lab I wanted to give some positive things I have planned in the near future.

I am hoping to make more adopts and open a Kofi. In a less fun reason it's because I need help making money for rent- but that means I get back into designing and art soooo... yay? I am also thinking of making a Discord art server so if you have any suggestions or tips for that feel free to dm me or comment below. It will be free to join but if you join their might be opportunities to pre-claim designs or even influence what I make next!

Those who support my Kofi however I hope to give pretty sweet benefits tho so watch out for that hehe

Hey I've finally finished my own personal comm sheet! I've had a few offers before if I had open commissions but sadly haven't put in the effort to make prices until today. The prices might be a bit funky (I know, I love numbers that end in a nice $5 or $0), but that is simply because I wanted to give more options. Tbh that is partially for myself and wanting to revisit some older art styles but shhhhh

I will admit that me opening commissions is very largely in part due to a need to afford rent + cat supplies these next few months- so just as a heads up for where that money is going! <3

**My work isnt giving me enough hours so art is my main way of getting income right now.** I am probably going to open a Kofi soon so that people can still help and get rewards without having to pay as much. ^^

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway there are some rules I wanted to clarify:
     - I will not do heavily detailed gore + NSFW artwork for my own comfort. If you are ever worried if gore might be too much totally feel free to ask! I'm not afraid to talk about such topics even if I don't draw them.
     
Any discount (for experimental pieces, seasonal opportunities, etc) will be rounded to the nearest dollar. So if you subtract a discount and it becomes a price of $12.10 to $12.40 you would round down to $12. If the result was $12.50 to $12.90 you would round up. If you have any questions on price feel free to ask them via dms or comments.
     - If you and your friend want to split a commission price you are totally free to each send me a payment separately! Depending on the price, however, I might have to add a fee simply because it means I am receiving less via Paypal's conditions. 
     - If your character is complex I will probably add a fee ranging from $1-5 unless you request for them to be simplified. What I typically consider to be complex is a character with over 10 accessories or over 6 limbs. This isn't a hard set rule and heavily depends on the character in question. (An example of a character I own that I would consider complex:https://toyhou.se/21561510.underdark-child. I would price them around $3-$5 for their fee. So many stars and tentacles I cry.)

If you'd like more examples you can find a few on my sta.sh or my DeviantArt account. To be honest I don't really use my DA much anymore unless I have to post something for a group- so some of my examples might be a little older.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Although it is only listed in my examples I also have hypo batches open for $30 for three hypo designs! These designs are all going to be uniquely lined and colored- so you are basically receiving a large discount for three unshaded fullbodies and new designs! This is because I love making hypos and I can relate to peeps wanting some cute hypos for their characters. (I ask that if you are requesting hypos between you and another person's character you asked their permission. You can either dm me an image of their consent or have them message me- really any sign that I know this other owner is ok with the commission. Thank you <3). Characters offered must be of similar age range. Aka adult to adult and teenager to teenager only. I won't police adult ages so a pair or poly relationship that has both older and younger adults is fine.
                 * For those who might not know a hypo design is basically a new design made from taking two pre-existing designs and making a conceptual "child" or "fusion" from the two. So they will likely have traits taken from both sides of their family. This can be canon or non-canon for their characters and stories. 

Updated!


I am in need of money, so I am selling two slots for custom cat/dog design sales! Basically you give me a list of things you love and/or hate and I try to base a design with your aesthetics in mind! (You can also give moodboards, emojis, palettes, etc. I can also make a hypo design!) 

This will be a sort of step-by step process! I will give you a sketch and request if any changes will need to be done. From there I will color and we can discuss any more changes that might need to be done!

Here are a few examples!

Now for some rules and details!
     - I have the option to deny a commission request if it deals with topics I am uncomfortable with or find inappropriate. (Ex: sexual topics, racism, transphobia, etc)
     - Your commissions will be finished within a month of your order!
     - You will receive a fullbody unshaded custom design!
     - You may use my art with credit for personal reasons and in roleplay groups! You may not use it for commercial use without asking myself first.
     - If you buy both slots you will have a $3 discount, so your purchase will be $27 total! ^^
     - You can read my T.O.S here: T.OS. Link
