hello everyone! happy tail end of pride month. I wanted to make another commission post to update some of my prices and feature some more recent artwork :) I’m also offering a few new things! Weapon designs will feature a full 360* turnaround of a weapon or item, and you can now get another sketch for a reduced rate, or a fully rendered background. It’s also cheaper than ever to get your party portrait painted, at a flat rate of 75$ per character, no matter the base price. A fully rendered couples’ portrait is now 225$!
I will be using the money raised to pay pretty much exclusively for food and rent. Even if you’re unable to commission me right now, reblogs would be much appreciated so I can afford my groceries this month. There will be no limitations on the number of slots, since the workload hasn’t made it historically necessary, but I would love for this to be the time I’m proven wrong.
Check the tag on my blog #ghost art for more examples of my work!
the standard rules apply: 1. Spicy content is okay, provided the commissioner and commissioned characters are both 18+. These will not be shared publicly!
2. I do not draw in a traditional furry style (obviously). That being said, I’m happy to draw anthros or mechanical designs, provided I have references to work with. I’m also happy to draw fanart!
3. No drawn references? no problem! a written description is perfectly fine. Just know that if there’s a lot of back and forth about a particular design, I may have to charge more to make sure my time is adequately compensated. I may also ask for photo references, if needed.
4. Blood and minor Injury is okay. I do not draw excessive gore. I will not draw violence of any kind being done to children or to animals.
5. Commissioned art will be posted on my social media publicly, unless otherwise requested specifically by the commissioner.
schrodinger’s chekhov’s gun. a detail in a story that looks like it should have some big payoff but it’s too early to tell if that’s relevant or if the author just has a passion for lovingly describing guns.
schrodinger’s chekov’s occam’s razor: you find an inconsistent or inaccurate detail in a work that would be brilliant if it was foreshadowing a plot twist later on, but it’s too early to tell whether the author expects you to be smart, and the simplest explanation is that they fucked up
THE CASUALNESS OF THAT COLLIE SLIPPING RIGHT OUT OF THEIR COLLAR. That dude is a Willing Participant of this walk and by god everyone else is going to follow the RULES.
im a fan of the moment where the husky is like ‘wait you’re not authorized to do that’ and the collie is like 'THE FUCK IM NOT’
unstoppable force (border collie) vs immovable object (husky)
i wish someone would pet and love me unconditionally like a dog (remembers people follow me and see my posts) ive actually never cared about or wanted anything
jacking off to christmas porn on christmas day: arguably one of the most rock bottom experiences someone can have while sober
jacking off to christmas porn on christmas eve: suspicious but not unprecedented. why so eager ?
jacking off to christmas porn the day after christmas: i really wish you would stop using your body “ironically”
jacking off to christmas porn any other time during the winter: festive, sensitive soul, attuned to the changing of seasons & the zeitgeist-erotique
jacking off to christmas porn in the spring, summer or fall: transgressive, unbound by convention and condition, able to see beyond the manifest and apply the particular anywhere, at any time. might just have a christmas fetish – but the line between these things is not as clearly drawn as some might wish

“jesus was a communist” “jesus hung out with sex workers” “jesus was gay” stop white washing christianity! jesus literally put dogs into a big boiling cauldron to make something the bible called “mustard gravy!” Also the catholics did something problematic I think but I don’t remember what.
having the Aviation Accident Investigations Autism™️ has actually done wonders for the way I process and respond to my own fuck-ups
And I don’t just mean “oh, my little work mistake is actually nothing compared to a fiery crash that kills people,” either. The reason commercial flight is so many orders of magnitude safer than any other form of transportation is because after every accident and incident, an independent regulatory body investigated it with the express goal of figuring out exactly what happened, why, and how to prevent the same thing from ever happening again—not to root out which person deserved the blame or the liability.
It’s a simple, shockingly effective idea. It’s also worlds away from how most people approach their own mistakes and the mistakes of others.
Because it’s never just one person’s fault. And even when it is, it still isn’t.
The sharpest, best-trained pilots make worse decisions when they’re tired or sick or stressed out, so there’s two of them. The most dedicated and experienced air traffic controllers garble an instruction over the radio sometimes, so pilots are trained to always repeat clearances back to catch misunderstandings quickly. The best and brightest maintenance mechanic still overlooks a screw or misconnects a wire once or twice in her career, so aircraft systems are built with two or three or four layers of redundancy, and pilots are exhaustively trained to deal with failures safely.
Everyone eventually has a bad day. Every component breaks down. Every computer gets a bad a Windows update and spirals into a reboot doom loop. If it’s possible for one person’s mistake to domino into a mushroom cloud of a fuckup, then that task is too critical to be one person’s sole responsibility. The accident sequence starts with the design of the system—so how do you improve the system to keep it from happening again?
oh yeah. The “modern commercial aviation is the safest form of transport” thing only applies to planes, btw. A helicopter is a beautiful metal horse that wants to break its legs and die so so so badly
