rubynium's carrd

hello, and welcome to my carrd!
follow the links below to learn more.

about me

you can call me ruby, nadder, or halcyon!
I use he/him, they/them, or ze/hir pronouns.
I am in the pacific time zone!
clip studio paint is my primary tool for art, but I also employ pencil and paper sketching!
I am also a big-time Google Docs enjoyer :)

commissions overview

my commissions are currently open!
commissions may take up to two months to complete, depending on various external factors. I am a college student, and thus
must prioritize schoolwork over art. I will do my best not to allow this to delay the final product too much, though!
if you've ordered a commission from me, feel free to ask for updates after two weeks have passed!
make sure to read my tos before commissioning me!
