miq's Bulletins
SO I'VE BEEN THINKING... patreon would be a more reliable way for me to offer comms, produce art and get in touch with everyone.
i made a lil form with 2 main questions to gauge interest and what i could bring to the table to make it worthwhile!Ā
i'm just kinda tired of social media algorithms and and nsfw work being banned, ya know? i'd love to build a lil (permanent) nest for my art, and it'd be neat to have more people build nests around mine and make a nice community where we can support each other. i'm thinking too far ahead, maybe... but that's the end goal.
anyway, i know i'm not too active on TH anymore but i'd love to hear from you!! āį¢. Ģ« .į¢ā
edit: decided to close early! i got so many lovely requests already, it's hard to pick... š many thanks for everyone who submitted!! ppl i'm more familiar with - expect to hear from me at a later date?
ā¦ ā¦ ā¦
hey, long time no see!! guess who's finally opening some public slotsss
my style's been changing a bit and i wanna make some new samples while my comm page is in the works š
starting with colored sketches like this (click for full - it's sfw):
if you're interested, please see pricing + further infoĀ in this form (you can edit it after you submit!)
i'll close it on friday, november 13th. not FCFS, i'll message you within 24 hours of closing if i pick you āļø
more art examples in my art tabĀ and on twitter!
ā¦ ā¦ ā¦
on to the personal side of things - i've (kinda) conquered the ordeal of being known and started sharing my art on social media again! i've been on twitter for a while, and i'm having a great time interacting with everyone ( Ā ; v ;)b thank u friends for the push i needed...! i'll start using TH for more than just comm updates, but if you'd like to see more of my art, me gushing about my ocs, and occasional fanart,Ā follow me there <3
i hope you're all taking care of yourselves and doing well! cheers Ā Ā

i overestimated myself a bit this last commission batch yall _(:''3/L)_
kinda bit off more than i could chew (i got so many lovely orders, can ya blame me), so i've been working late af to send them out in a timely manner. but i'm almost done!!
however, i got pretty badly burnt out, so i'm gonna finish up asap and take a few days off. i'll be more careful from now on, promise. to everyone who's on the waitlist - thank you for being so patient with me ; O ;)9 i'll get in touch soon!
also, i'm thinking of opening a proper art shop on TH? and i have a fun nsfw project in the works >:3c would you like to be pinged? i made a lil poll so you don't have to comment.
but if you wouldĀ like to comment: how are you doing? bad news, good news, thoughts? any fun projects? <3
hey,Ā iām here to announce the first raffle winner!Ā thank you for everyone who took the survey ;__; when I posted about it, I thought Iād be lucky if I got 10 responses -Ā as of today there are a whole 30 lovely participants <3
without further ado, the first raffle winner is... Firo! congrats, Iāll message you shortly ^ o ^)/ hereās the screenshot!
if you didnāt join the raffle this time, you can try for the next! iāll draw another name at 55 responses, and again at 80. if youād like to win $25 worth of art, just tell me about your commission experiences here! everyone who already participated still gets a chance at winning.
also, you can see the survey results here. the responses really surprised me! iāll write more in depth about the takeaways later on!
once again, thank you so much <3Ā
i turn 23 tomorrow my guys!!Ā this year it feels like a lot of pressure tho
itŹ¼s about time i go get some ~industry~ experience... i need to find my people and be part of something bigger, yknow? but i live in a small town in the middle of the brazilian countryside, and thereŹ¼s little artistic field (pun?) for me here.
so, i decided to move out. whenever possible. (any of you who went through this, any tips? words of wisdom?)
hereŹ¼s my plan. i need to make and post more original content. it also means more frequent price shifts tho;; i hope you'll understand and stick with me! i do have some options on the cheaper side coming soon <3
TLDR; to sort of ease into new prices, until october november* 25, any previous customers will get aĀ 20% discountĀ for one slot! (everyone who was already in the queue, don't worry, the new prices won't apply 'til next batch)
-
ok, so, the raffle. iŹ¼m working on an ebook on how to start doing commissions for beginners, and hearing about your preferences and problems would be a big help!
so i made a short survey. it will give you a chance to win aĀ chibiĀ or aĀ flat colorĀ portraitĀ worthĀ ~$25Ā doneĀ by yours truly. (you can take part even if you don't want the prize, ofc! that's just an incentive :3c)
or click thisĀ direct linkĀ if you are intensely suspicious of buttons.
i'll draw a winner onĀ august 11th, and another one for every 25 participants after that - a total of 3 prizes! so if you could send this to your art lover friends, thatŹ¼d be pretty sweet <3 i'll share the results, but don't worry, any personal data will be secret.
thanks in advance! ^ v ^)/
PS, real quick:
ā¢ extra characters are nowĀ 50% extra instead of 75%, for math's sake. so price changes won't make much difference for couples n groups.
ā¢ bc of paypal policy changes in my country, refunds will now be partial, to cover for the fees and stuff. i've never had to do a refund, but just so you know!
ā¢ if you read all of this: MWAHĀ Ā
*EDIT: specifics about the discount, bc i'm a fool
the 20% discount is only for single characters, because the couple prices are mostly still the same! :"O also because i spent a month without opening new slots, i'll extend the discount deadline until november 25 <3
hey everyone, my new commission page is finally up and running! please check it outĀ <3
new prices won't apply to return commissioners for one slot (max. 2 pieces/slot), until August 1st 2018! doesn't matter if you last commissioned me 5 years ago, still valid ;)
there have been a few changes! i really want to focus on doing fewer, higher quality pieces. that means a price increase based on type, and fewer flat color and shaded slots each month - Ā but turnaround times are a bit more specific now. i've also simplified my terms and conditions.
thank you for the attention, and i'd love to hear your feedback on anything!
