If this is too tl;dr, skip it, mannn (But I'd appreciate the read, especially if you've been in my previous threads...)
dumb venting stuff
Since I'm like a walking, human exposition (Don't know if that's a correct way to say I TALK A LOT), I'm going to get things off my chest.
I was pretty nervous for a long ass time making any new art giving-related posts, for a couple reasons. First off, some people can probably tell I have an issue(?) fulfilling promises. Well yeah, when it comes to giving things. I wanted to apologize. People can be understanding here, but then the nasty feeling that I've made them disappointed lingers. Even if those drawings were free or I didn't take anyone's money, I still feel guilty for abandoning things. â†
To explain properly why I do this, brings me into my next reasoning; I highly depend on my mood to draw. I'm extremely dependent on positive moods! My friends are aware of the low confidence in my art abilities. That causes my motivation to drop fairly easily... then most of the time, I only feel comfortable drawing things I love or I don't draw at all for days.
I just don't mean to be a let-down. I'm probably over-thinking it, but I'd love for someone to smack sense into me! lol
Think I feel better, buuut... gonna try to make this as easy for me as possible. I DO love to draw different and new things when I'm not feeling like shit. Plus I need to get a grip... This is the best way for me to make good sP here, haha!! ><;; One good thing is that I feel I've improved every time I look back here?!
Was thinking of posting something like this in the advice forums, but anyway...
Can't believe it's nearly been 10 years Subeta's been kickin' it. I myself have been here for nearly 9 years. (My anniversary is in December (-: ) I thought it'd be nice to try free doodles.
Rules!! My main rule is that I get FREE REIGN. I'll draw them in whatever style. Love if you'd explain a bit of your character's personality. Don't wanna draw them making a face they shouldn't be, haha. Prefer picture references and original chara. Can work with descriptions and official chara.
List as many chara as you want! I'll go over posts and see what feels good. So it's RANDOMLY PICKED. If I've drawn for you, I'll post and ping ya right here. Like a surprise gift!
whoops spoilers
probably higher chances i'd draw female characters because i like girls ok
i also like weird things. so maybe you have like this kinda humanoid but alien thing
or a monster
maybe a monster girl
i should do that in october
also, blondes
Would people be interested if I opened a commission thread to pay in SP or wishlist items? I'd also allow you to bring over these freebies to be cleaned up, colored, etc.

You can also follow and nag me on Twitter. There's a bit more art there too.

Awh, it's okay. Please don't feel guilty. It's normal for your motivation to fluctuate like that. or at least it happens to me too so I feel like it's normal And once you don't feel like it, no one should expect you to do anything you don't want to. I wish I could offer you great advice, but I'm kinda in a similar boat. xDD;
Congrats on almost reaching 9 years on here, by the way! My 9th year subeta anniversary is in March! high fives Would any of [these guys] strike your fancy? hmmm.... I think you've drawn most of them actually. x:
Happy almost-nine year anniversary! :D I do think it's a shame that you're not very confident in your abilities, because I stalked your other threads and your art is adorable. Your style is so nice!
I would be interested in a commission thread. :)
Dropping my babs here in case you're interested in any of them! If not, please don't feel obligated and/or guilty. I think freebie threads are wonderful, but obviously it's not conceivable for artists to fulfill every single request, and that's not your fault.
characters
Dann, airship captain
Da, chinese empress
Lyal, normal guy with a weird obsession
Cheri, tree lady
Ebony, african tribal priestess
Gustavo, conman
Kitt, postapocalyptic alien-killing babe
Or the guy to the right on my forum set (unnamed), he is a descendant of a line that has dragon blood, so they turn into dragons! :D --> click for bigger / original face ref
Hey :D Would you consider either my HA, or my OC (Arvyn, linked in my signature)? I kind of like my weird HA right now, so I'd prefer her honestly x'D she's just...she's a Slytherin demon. Make of that whatever you will; if you get any inspiration from it, go with it ^^ Arvyn is a sad dark elf necromancer, who conjures red butterflies from his blood as companions. Yup.
Also, you don't owe me or anyone this art; you're giving it away out of your own kindness. So I promise I won't be disappointed if you don't do mine, for any reason whatsoever. Please remember that you don't have to do any of this art, so you are entirely in control of this process. You could do 28 pieces per day, one a day, randomly have a few days off, take a year long break, or never do any of it at all -> it's all entirely up to you! None of us have any right (or likely any inclination!) to judge you for anything you do c: Thank you for considering mine anyway ^^
Wah I'm at work so I'm totally gonna type more later, but I wanna say I'm pretty similar with my writing, too! [So talentless in art sobs4eva] it all depends on my mood and then if I reread over things I'm like ugh nopls. V.v Your art is super qt, I'd totally be interested in commissions if you shop'd it up!
WHAT. YOUR ART IS SO CUTE?! I'm sorry you don't always feel that way, but trust me it is. I think only drawing things you love when you feel like it is fine too. Drawing should make you feel good & you're not obligated to draw anything for anyone - especially me, especially for free. & I would be totally interested in commissioning you! That being said, I have a couple of characters for you to consider if they pique your interest.. [Url=http://subeta.net/pets/Vivec]Vivec [/url], Sreen or Metallum . Thanks for your time
Cleared by staff. Too tall.
Congrats on almost 9 years! I'm almost to 8 and man is it strange to thing about how long it's really been and how much I can see change in myself just in how I interact and approach something like Subeta. (My old UN was RawrRayRay if that gives you any indication, haha). Honestly your art is adorable! I'd love to have some to show off, but this is already becoming quite a popular thread and I completely understand the need for positivity to be able to create (I'm going to be 100% honest here, I've had fluxations where one day I don't even feel like I can get out of bed and the next day everything is beautiful and magical to me - it just depends on how I'm seeing the world that day, and it's not always a choice thing), so if you don't get around to me don't worry about it! Enjoy your art (we all do!) ❤
If you are interested, I'd like to list several (okay, okay a lot) of OCs in case you may find some more interesting than others. Hopefully someone sparks some creativity for you :3
The Family
Humans:
❤ I am forever of the quest for art of Jenn and Johan. I love images of them together of course, but I'm also looking for some individual pieces for the profiles. Here's a ref for him (ignore the pink sticker, haha), and here's one for her.
There's also Jeremiah. He's a pastor. He's got a big beard, a sleeve of tattoos (something like this and with this on his wrist), and a huge heart for God. I'd love to see something kinda like this but holding a bible like he's reading it or preaching from it. :)
I have nothing for poor Remiel yet. My ref's aren't very good, but in general he's an Angel of the Lord (the angel in charge of protecting the links between heaven and earth). I'd like him to go in the direction of biblical angel, so a warrior. He has six wings and a large staff. His story isn't complete but it gives a good idea of his personality. I imagine him with long dark hair, but it's really open to creative license.
I also have Alex, the backpacker. I don't know if you've ever read/seen "Into the Wild" but that's where his character really comes from to me. He's in his 20's-30's in images (his story begins in his teens if you read it). He lives up in Alaska and mushes dogs (hence the huskies on his profile) and he's a huge hiker.
Or you could draw Abe Lincoln for me :)
Animals: I would really love if you could draw Disney for me! He's a magical creature that's loosely based on a gennet (another ref). He has a much fluffier tail and his colors are this pallet (his body is the lighter blue and peach and his spots are the other colors). He has two small wings on his back and he of course would be wearing a Mickey Mouse ear headband :)
My first ever pet was Kamots (Reference) He and his mate Chemukh (Reference) are based of the alpha pair of wolves from the Sawtooth Mountain Pack. They're a big inspiration for me and I always love any work of them.
Juneau and Tonks are my real life pups. (Juneau's profile here) and I love art of them!
Chewwie is a little ferret obsessed with numerous book, movie, and t.v. series (Harry Potter, Star Wars, Supernatural, Sherlock, Hunger Games) so he can be really fun to draw because you can be silly and include lots of references to different things (ex: holding a stuffed lightsaber or wearing fake angel wings and writing ennochian).
Attenborough is the guardian of nature. His story is very pro-planet. His character actually looks the same as the pet, but I'm really hoping to get a better pose for him (maybe something where he's sitting amongst animals and flowers and smiling, or something where he's napping wrapped around a globe).
And then there's little Timothie the stuffed horse. He looks very similar to his image as well, except that he's very squishy and has a tan mane/tail. His saddle is green with a red center (he was a Christmas present).
Heey! Congrats my friend! I don't have any monster girls-- but I have this monster boy(?) I'd like to see! Or if you want to look for a diff character that's plenty okay!
It's fine, thanks for your words. It bites this is a thing people have to go through.
Yeah, I have drawn at least 5 or something, haha. I wouldn't mind drawing them again and again, though. Especially since I've improved from the last time! Also, I should let you know I do like your designs. Back then, every time I've looked at them, I got a little bit inspired to make my own OCs again. (: For a couple years I gave up on OCs 'cause it felt too boring compared to doing fanart.
Anyway, here's the "main gang". I do draw on a much larger canvas size now, so yeaahh

Awh goshh, you've just made my day. That's really nice to know. ;u;
and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that's too cute!! Your art just gets better and better every time I see it! ❤️ Thank you so much!! QuQ You captured their personalities perfectly too.
I'm happy to hear this! 。゚(゚^ω^゚)゚。 I kinda forgot to mention I added rabbit ears JUST 'CAUSE... Also may I ask for clarification? Aiyu and her "human form" are now just separate characters??
[flower=VINYL]
[font=garamond]1, 2, 3, 4, Here we GO~ ❤️-- ❤️-- ❤️ --[/font] [Art by me / Previously known as NICKEY]
LOL! I loved that you added those! xD
Wow, I really never expected anyone to realize! (≧ ◇ ≦) But yes! Now the human form is actually a character on her own. I recently got myself to start working on Aiyu again and realized that once I start writing a story.. the thought of her changing between human and bunny.. didn't sound too great, lol!
Not sure if you'd be interested, but I do have a really rough draft of their story here: [+] xDD
omg I've been questioning my own pets as well. Having both an animal and human or even anthro form is neat to play around with... but making it, well, MAKE SENSE is like uuhhh wat
I'm even slightly bothered that I might have pets who are actual pet animals and others are humanoid companions.
...Huh, now that I type that out, maybe it's not weird after all. Something in me was screaming "inconsistency!!" I DON'T KNOW... I'll figure it out lol
Aiyu's profile is looking so cute so far. Nice work on her overlay!
ALSO THANKS FOR THE GIFT, GEEZE!
[flower=VINYL]
[font=garamond]1, 2, 3, 4, Here we GO~ ❤️-- ❤️-- ❤️ --[/font] [Art by me / Previously known as NICKEY]
Exactly! xDD
Lol, yeah, I think that sounds pretty cool actually. More variation.
Awh thanks! and your welcome. >w<;;
Thank you for your words!
Here's what I've sketched AND I made a tiny thing of Ebony as a little congrats for her winning the pet spotlight!! (-:

Oh my goodness, you are an angel. All three pieces are gorgeous. Lyal's expression fits the character so well, and the seriousness of the second picture is perfect! I LOVE THE LION. You really captured them so well. (Ebony does have two earrings, by the way! and if you could add that, it would be lovely, but the chibi is so adorable already and ahhhh I'm so happy! :))
Thank you so so so much for the beautiful art and the congrats! You are too sweet (:
Ok that was easy enough ! (lol) I would have gotten this out earlier but whoops overslept;--
But thank you for giving me a chance to draw a lion. They are my top favorite animal, but I haven't drawn a more realistic one w
