surli's Bulletins
my yearly tradition of making this bulletin. hand em over idc what team! also probably goes w/o saying but I do not need to know/follow you, I'll attack anyone!
hey guys! just wanted to put it out there officially that if you commission me/have an outstanding comm by june 18 I won't be able to make any progress on it during that time!
I likely won't be able to communicate either from the 22nd to 3rd!
I'm going on an ecological restoration field course (that I've been yapping about so it's not even news to some of you) and will be going from campsite to campsite during that time! I'm super excited (and nervous 😬) for it... the biggest bummers are that I'll miss pride and those crucial first few days of artfight 😭 but it's gonna be so worth it!
so if u need something from me during that time... I will not have died badly... I will be in class LOL! yippee!
I need monay... Help!!!
these examples are oldish so you'll get something a lil better than this but similarly styled. they're fun for me! I'll open like 5 slots, see how it goes. your choice of shoulders shown or cut off at the neck like the first example, if you pick shoulders you must give me at least Some idea of what the character would be wearing or lmk if they wouldn't wear anything! can do any species for this (including humans) and especially like to get some variety -- flat faced anthros are less fun for me unless you want me to stylize them differently and emphasize their species features like the examples. + will turn down or charge extra for characters that are too complex
form if that helps you:
- character:
- bust or headshot:
- outfit if bust:
- expression:
- anything to note:
tysm!
hey! taking special comms to fund my spring break journey home this weekend o7 these are on paper, so don't typically interfere with current digital comms... [whispers] I do them during lectures
will only be open for a couple days, and have a quick turnaround (minutes to days!) I'm about to go in the field so anything ordered today will probs be done tomorrow or thurs 👍
coloring these or digitizing them or hiring someone else to do that is completely allowed and encouraged!
most will be fullbody but I don't guarantee it if your request or design is complex or better served by a different composition!
examples:
I'm taking kofi, paypal, or cashapp for these! ANY species, ANY body type, just nothing crazy complex 🙏 just leave a comment or dm if interested tyyy
hiii! I'm seeing some bulletins lately that are just inviting conversation and i want one also because i want to feel da community here... we have so little else guys HELP.
what has been going on in my little life... I'm in my last year of my wildlife degree (last semester will be fall) which is umm Scary!! this is not the job market I want to go into I gotta be honest. LMAO. but I'm trying not to worry about that and just focus on my classes, which are really fun this semester! as I'm sure some of you in servers with me or whatever have been glimpsing... I'm getting to finally do a lot of fieldwork, which, hmm... sounds kind of more exciting than it maybe is so let me clarify this is like. "walk out of the classroom during class time and into the woods and start finding salamanders and swabbing them" but then again I guess not every campus is Able to simply exit the classroom and the woods are right there, so it is awesome. and it's really cool to be collecting real data for a real project (our swabs are mailed to the east coast where a national project checks them for chytrid fungus infection)
and another class (ethology, which is the study of animal behavior) I'm doing a group project with some classmates where we are going to the marsh all the time and studying strike rates in egrets. so that's another Real Project even if it's not like. impressive LOL
besides that... I got my little car up here at last so I'm able to drive around to all the nature + to actual stores now... the bus system isn't terrible but you just can't go to the beach without a car here. or the coolest hiking and sightseeing spots. so I'm super pumped to finally get to do all that in my slivers of free time!
I am also in a scientific drawing class (not for my major just for Enrichment) and I'm loving it!! we work w acrylic inks which are kind of evil and wonderful at the same time here's some of my practice stuff + my skull project... it is so refreshingly humbling to be dropped into a medium I am definitely not adept at and having to learn it from scratch!


aaand I've been poking at some funny bird ocs... buddies for summer ^_^ I can't Story so what u see here is what there is unfortunately. I don't know anything about them <3 (scribbled out stuff is just other sketches in the way LOL)



+ summer's room, I was doodling OC rooms and there are others but so many images in here is a pain

ok and so ends my ramble, and here comes my invitation! tell me about your day to day life and your recent life developments... and anything new goin on with your ocs :3 and talk to each other too!
it looks really cuted! I don't personally have much use for quadruped or swappable features bases so I wanted to share!

the age old question: cute or cool? (poll)
what vibe influences your design prefs?
sometimes I want to make/buy designs that are cute and sometimes I want them to be cool and sometimes I want them to be hot and sometimes I just see pretty colors and my eyes glaze over and I give no thought to the character's Vibes at all. and sometimes while I'm making a design I can't decide which direction to take it... I'm mostly just curious, what do You prefer/look for in characters? what vibe for a design is more likely to compel you?
if you like humanoid art and kinda grungy designs check bakante out, he's in need of cash for smth!
