mmechanicat's Bulletins


hi!

i've been on hiatus for a while, so now i'm looking at returning to active artist spaces. imo worlds are severely underutilized on here for all their community features

first i want to share Market Sources, a world for selling art and adopts. this group stays alive by asking that new members promote, which is an excellent idea to keep active in the brutal attention economy of online art imo: https://toyhou.se/~world/125535.-marketsources

i'm also working on starting an open world for comics and original writing, more info to come soon!: https://toyhou.se/~world/137661.comic-zone

it sucks to be an artist on the internet these days. one antidote is to join these groups, comment on more art, and do ur part to terraform active art communities into existence

patreon time

Posted 5 years, 3 months ago by mmechanicat

hello pals

i hope everyone is having a good year so far. it's the darkest, coldest, dreariest time of year, and my sleep schedule is irreparably doomed, but i'm pumping out art. i'm working on a few different projects(all probably going to be published as webcomics) so there's a lot of process art, a lot of test pages, a lot of one-off illustrations to post. i'm going to be releasing these on my patreon from now on

(at least, some of them! i'm still posting a lot of art on here so my characters can have solid references {:)

first of all, my finished drawings are going on patreon for FREE. this is because patreon is the most reliable, self-contained platform i have right now. so those HQ images will be on patreon, set to public, so you can hop on there right now and check out some of my recent pieces.

then i have 3 tiers: $1, $5, and $20. the full descriptions for the tiers are on my patreon, but here's the gist: $1 = sketches, project updates, secrets about my OCs. $5 = that + comic WIPs and pages(mostly tests rn), tutorials/process breakdowns, speedpaints. $20 = all that + you get a sketch request every month! (my sketches are nice! they're clean, polished, and fairly dynamic)

SO if you like or want to like my OCs, or you like webcomics, or you like looking into artists' processes, or you just love me and want to support me, consider subscribing to my patreon

[side note to update on commissions: totally cleared my backlog from last year <3 i have a few commissions from december that i'm working through + some quick pieces of other owed art, so queue is full right now. i'll probably be open again in the next week or two. always feel free to dm me if you're interested, just know i won't finalize plans or invoices for a few weeks]

happy holidays, folks!!!!

commissions open !

Posted 5 years, 6 months ago by mmechanicat

quick heads up that my commissions are open again with updated types and examples! i have 2 slots open and should have pretty quick turnaround time since i'm only working 3-4 days a week right now. info and pricing here

ALSO: i'm seriously working on this webcomic thing. it'll be out (hopefully) by the end of the year)

back on TH + fall commissions!

Posted 5 years, 7 months ago by mmechanicat

hello! i've had a busy summer(working full time in a restaurant!!) but the season is slowing down and i'm hopefully coming back on TH. i'm hoping to be a lot more active this fall and i wanted to put out a heads up for what to expect

i'm going to start doing more designs, probably selling for $50/each for a full body shaded character. i have a few batches of sketches in process right now that'll probably be out in mid-october

i'm also opening commissions again to help pay expenses while my job goes down to part time. i'm going to post updating pricing info soon so watch for that if you're interested in commissions me! the last few commissions from the last round will be finished by the end of the month
