Hello! My name is Skoryx and I am a biologist, bird enthusiast, and freelance artist. This website is for viewing my portfolio and commission options.
About Skoryx
MEET THE ARTIST
Skoryx is my alias/mascot for my online art presence. I started digitally drawing in 2011 and I primarily draw in Paint Tool Sai 2 with a tablet.Since 2014, I have been offering digital commissions. I opened my Etsy shop in 2016 to sell handmade artwork and started tabling at conventions in 2023. I was at the TTFC23 artist alley and AnEx24 artist alley!I have a variety of hobbies and interests, including birdwatching, fishkeeping, hiking, taxidermy, rhythm games, and eating spicy food. My Bachelor's is in Biological Sciences and I am hoping to pursue graduate studies soon.I have a full-time job as a chemist, but I like to draw cartoons and animals in my spare time. Feel free to talk to me about anything bird or biology-related!
Terms of service
By commissioning me, you agree to have read and understood my terms of service written below. This covers what I will/will not draw, how I handle payment and refunds, and how you can use my artwork once finished. Please read carefully and contact me if you have any questions.
General rules
Clients under 18 are OK! You must be 18+ to commission any gore or NSFW works.
Tracing, copying, stealing, or selling my work is not allowed. Use for AI training or NFTs is not allowed. Referencing is okay with permission and credit.
All works are watermarked, but watermarks can be removed upon request.
You can use the artwork in almost any way you wish. You can repost it, print it out, get it tattooed, whatever you'd like, but don't resell my artwork or claim it's yours.
I have the right to refuse any commission request for any reason.

If there's anything here I didn't mention, feel free to ask me about it.I want to mention that I do not draw NSFW art very often. As someone who identifies as asexual, I don't find much enjoyment in drawing erotic art. Please be professional and understanding if you are requesting such artwork from me.
Ordering process
Feel free to reach out to me at any of the contact options listed on my page.
Send references of your character(s) and anything else that will help me visualize what you're wanting. References can be visual or text-based, but text descriptions should be concise.
Payment is required upfront, either in full or partial payment.
Turnaround times are variable. Estimated turnaround times can be found on my commission prices page. Generally, I try to finish smaller pieces ($10-$50) within two weeks and larger pieces ($75+) within a month. Please check my art queue on Trello for updates. https://trello.com/b/Ke3fB31A/skoryx-s-commission-queue
When an art piece is finished, I may post it on my social media sites. Upon request, I can keep your commissions private.
You may post the completed artwork anywhere you'd like. No credit to me is needed, but do not claim it as your own.
Minor edits (e.g. changing poses during the sketch phase, changing colors during the coloring phase, adding glasses at the end, etc.) during the working process are usually free. Major edits (e.g. redrawing a character, changing poses during the coloring phase, changing outfits, etc.) made during or after the commission is completed are subject to fees.
Edits can be made to pieces up to a year after completion. After that, original work files may be deleted, making edits difficult.
Payment
Before starting a commission, payment must be made partially or in full. Finished commissions will not be released until all funds are paid.
Paypal is my preferred method of payment. I can also accept payment through Venmo, Ko-Fi, and CashApp.
Full refunds can be requested and given at any time at or before the rough sketch stage for most commissions. Partial refunds will be given during any later stages.
Full refunds will be given if I decide I cannot complete a commission.
No refunds are given after a piece is completed, but I will try my best to correct things if you are unhappy with something.
Quotes are free! Please contact me if you're not sure how much something will be.
Digital art (regular style)
These are my regular digital commission offerings, which use my normal art style. All prices are in USD.
Extra characters in the same drawing are +50% per character unless otherwise noted.
Any mature/adult/NSFW topics will have a +25% fee.
Simple backgrounds and small animals, props, and accessories are usually included. Complex backgrounds, large props, and anything else complex will cost extra.
Avatars
Non-animated avatar
Clean lines. Simple background included.Flat: $20
Shaded: $35Animated avatar
$50+ depending on complexity. Comes with simple/moderateshading since the quality of complex shading is downgraded in an animated GIF image.One simple animation is included, such as winking, smiling, wobbling, or any other movements that can be achieved in 3-5 unique frames. Complex animations will cost more.
Reference sheets
It is always an honor to be chosen to create a reference sheet of someone's character! I feel such satisfaction helping someone bring their character to life, or helping to interpret theirs a little differently.
I offer reference sheets in varying complexities split into three main categories: simple, standard, and complex. Layouts can vary depending on what you want on the sheet.
All reference sheets can have names, text, palettes, basic information, and backgrounds added for free. I do not shade my reference sheets.
Reference sheets with extra poses, accessories, views, etc. may cost more. NSFW elements on your reference sheet may have an upcharge.
Reference sheets come with unlimited edits for a year in case your character's design changes.
Simple reference sheet: $60 and up
Common layouts:
a. One full-body and one bust
b. One full-body and two chibi busts
c. One full-body, mirrored to show an outfit
Standard reference sheet: $90 and up
Common layouts:
a. Three full-body views (front, side, back)
b. Two full-body views and one bust
c. One full-body view, two busts, and a chibi front/back view
Additional close-ups and accessories are included!
Complex reference sheet: $120 and up
Common layouts:
a. Four full-body views, one bust
b. Three full-body views, two busts
c. Two full-body views, two chibi views, one bust
Additional close-ups and accessories are included!
Don't want to spend that much on a reference sheet? Check out some of my cheaper options that use a looser/more experimental style.
Sketch reference sheet
Your character in my sketch style! Like my regular reference sheets, I do not include shading. These are different because the lines and colors are a bit messier.You can order simple, standard, or complex reference sheet layouts. Prices are half of those of my regular reference sheets.
Digital art (alternative styles)
These commission offerings vary from my regular digital art style and include sketches, pixel art, doodleys, and chibis. All prices are in USD.
Extra characters in the same drawing are +50% per character unless otherwise noted.
Any mature/adult/NSFW topics will have a +25% fee.
Sketchpage
Pay what you want! $30-100+
This is a relatively new commission offering that varies a lot in content, so I'm not exactly sure how to price it.The sketchpage will contain about 3-6 drawings or whatever I can cram into one screen-size "page". The more you pay, the more detail I will put into the sketchpage.
I call my cute crayon-like doodles "doodleys".
These have the quickest turnaround time of any of my options: within 1-2 weeks.
Over 1000 have been made! They can be purchased as icons or full-body drawings.
These are all my commission options that deviate from my normal digital art style.If you saw something I drew elsewhere but don't see a commission option for it here, feel free to ask me about getting something similar.
Traditional art
This is artwork drawn by hand. I have been drawing digitally for over a decade but recently I've been wanting to get back into traditional art. I primarily use markers and colored pencil.
Since I am a bit out of practice with traditional art, all my prices are on the lower end.
Extra characters in the same drawing are +50% per character unless otherwise noted.
Any mature/adult/NSFW topics will have a +25% fee.
Pieces can be shipped to you upon request.
Special commission offerings and discounts
Here are some special commission offerings that are limited-time-only. I also offer discounts to monthly patrons and clients requesting specific subject matter.
I offer a 20%-off commission discount for my monthly Ko-Fi and Patreon subscribers who pledge at least $5 a month.
Discounts for specific subject matter
I find myself drawing the same things often and would like more opportunities to draw different things! For as long as this message is up, I will offer a 20%-off discount for any commissions involving any taxa on the following list. Just mention that you've seen this list when you contact me to receive the discount.
Humans (kemonomimi and humanoid characters do not count)
Anteaters
Birds
Fish
Invertebrates
Sea creatures
Amphibians
I will be present at AnthroExpo 2024 in the artist alley! Come visit me while I'm in the alley at Table E, or hang out with me elsewhere in the con! I am also hosting a panel on Friday at 6PM. Friday is my birthday. Come say hello and hang out!

This is my digital portfolio, showcasing some of my favorite works and showing how my art style has progressed over the years! I used to post everything I created to DeviantArt. For a while, that site housed my portfolio, but I have since left the site. It is difficult to represent a whole year with just a few images out of hundreds I may have created, and it doesn't represent every aspect of my life as an artist. Not only am I a digital artist, but I also paint, do ceramics, and sew. I haven't found a good alternative to DeviantArt to showcase all of my work, so for the time being, I tried to pick out some art for every year that I felt was representative of that year.
2017
A great year for creating art! Unfortunately, I continued to underprice my work and wound up taking on a project with 42 raccoons at $5 a fullbody.
2015
I dabbled with some new software and learned to use Emofuri.
