Posted 1 month, 11 days ago by lilieskies

  • Option available: Halfbody
  • 2 Slots; Not FCFS
  • Applications will be open for 48 hours

For more info/FAQ, you can visit my Commission Page: https://toyhou.se/20686540.art-commissions



Hello people! :>
Thank you so much for the interest on the last bulletin!

This opening took a little longer than expected, though I was so eager to reopen :'3
There was 1 thing stressing me out so much for days, but it was something to help with my own health so it's all good! (aka it's the usual me stressing over absolute nothing lol)
I'm changing some things on my daily routine, getting used to new habits; my cats needed a vet visit and exams;
I'm hoping this cycle of [being healthier β†’ needing money for me and them β†’ being able to keep up the pace due to being healthier] can at least push me forward from now on, because wow i'll be needing that more than ever!

As for the Commission type decision, I was initially indecisive but i made a technical slip that settled the Halbody option over Character Page:
the lack of Chibi samples,,
I'm not vibing much with my tall chibi style anymore, if I ever bring them back I'll call them 'semi-chibi' or something (i feel like they were supposed to be named that since the beginning lol but anyway-)
My current Chibi style falls in between this semi-chibi and my 'Minis';
Not all CPages need Chibis/Minis but it's good to have their style updated for clarity

Summing up: I should've followed my own initial plan (halfbody) orz

Aand that's it!!
Thanks for reading and for the interest πŸ’•βœ¨

Commission Interest Check (+ Poll)

Posted 2 months, 12 days ago by lilieskies

Interest check for next opening:

6 Votes Regular Halfbody
10 Votes Discounted Character Page
20 Votes Equal interest for both options

Hello people! :>

I wanna open comms asap, and it's technically all ready to open Regular Halfbodies, but gotta check if there's enough interest for them first-
Halfbody info: https://toyhou.se/20686540.art-commissions#hb

ON THE OTHER HAND,
I've been thinking about how I am forever cursed with slowness, and there's always (other) things to do, why is it so goddamn hard to just finish 1 (one) single unit of Character Page sample i'm gonna cri-

Ahem... so taking the fact that CPages do have ok samples, just not updated, I'm willing to try some discounts for them instead!
Thinking around 30%~40% off
Character Page info: https://toyhou.se/20686540.art-commissions#cpage



So here i am to check if there's interest in either option; (enough to open just 1 option? should I mix? not much interest? let's see-)
I'll write a proper Commission Update bulletin sometime near the opening! (there's no major updates)

also! I meant to have those 'Art Remakes' as things to draw in between this one fanart/sample that i've been working on for MONTHS, but some unintentional reverse psychology happened and i managed to finish the piece on a timely manner orz
I'm still working on the Remakes tho!

Aand that's it!
Thanks for reading ✨

Hello people! :>
I don't know if I ever did this here on TH or even if it's gonna reach older followers but i'll give it a try!

🎨 If you ever received art from me before January 1st 2022 and want a chance to get a Remake/Paintover, comment below or PM me with the piece(s) + character ref/profile!

  • It may be art received through commission, request, art trade, gift, any means!
  • No need to link me full res/ unwatermarked version, unless you want to
  • I'll choose on my own judgment; There are some of my old art I still find good and wouldn't dare changing them :'>
  • The only thing I won't be remaking is Pixel Art (my skills are gone T -T )
  • I will apply design/background updates the character received; it's cool to see how/if they changed throughout the years as well~
  • For my handle, consider just [ lilieskies ] ; tho if u happen to remember me from older names (a decade ago jesus christ-) that's ok too hah
  • Results may be experimental; maybe not super clean or highly rendered

Aand that's it~! <3

Thank you all for the interest!!! I can only take few slots at a time, so reminder to not feel discouraged to apply again in the future πŸ’•

I am technically doing a better job relying more on consistent workflow than motivation these past few months, but a little caution is always good so 2 orders felt better at the moment, while finally wrapping up those Character Pages samples :'>
(+ interactions, possibly... my hands crave those 🀲)

Thanks again!!! <33

Commission Updates / Plans (+ Poll)

Posted 7 months, 16 days ago by lilieskies

Interest check for commission types:

11 Votes Interested in Regular Headshots
5 Votes Waiting for Character Pages

Hello people!
Main topics on this bulletin are:

  • Next Opening: Regular Headshot
  • Price Adjustments: increased for solo, lowered for duos/groups

Here is my [ Commission Info ] with applied changes, and below is a longer discourse on that (and more)~



Hello (again) :>
I've completed the batch of 3 Floaty Headshots a week ago, but i'll admit i'm a bit lazy to compile them again since i'm not even gonna take orders for those anymore T oT) so Thank you all!!

The Arknights fanart set can be seen on my tumblr though:

❓ FAQ updated + Application Form process revised
I was asked about my commission selection process and if I have any preferences when picking orders, so I added it to my [Β FAQΒ ] (Question 2) and also thinking about adding/diluting some parts to the Application Form or even to the front page of my Comms info, since it might be more informative that way (?)

Adding to it, I slightly changed the process to fill the Application Form; Now instead of: simplified form for the 1st phase β†’ Β 2nd phase with an extended Form for accepted clients; It will all be just 1 form, which will be able to be edited later for more details (for accepted orders) if needed!

I noticed that most clients didn't need to expand their initial forms in the end, or the client did want to write more at first but was restrained by the simple initial form.
Answering the previous question, I noticed I tend to prefer having more info at hand in the first place. And trying the 1-form method on the past opening, it seemed to flow better for both sides, so I'm going forward with it!


πŸ’Έ Price Adjustments
Regular Headshot $125, Halfbody $180 (from $115/$170)

Prices for Additional Character are still being calculated, but I want lower the % from the previous +75% of base price

I might need more changes in the future but I'm going step by step; Will also adjust Character Pages when it's their turn (mostly figuring out a price for interactions, since they weren't based of %)


πŸ“‹ Plans + Poll
Opening for Regular Headshots is technically all ready to go, but I wanted to check if people are still interested lol
Voting for CPages don't null the opening, just having 2 people interested in Headshots would be enough for it~

Aand that's it!!
Thank you πŸ’–
