Hihi! I have a few characters I'd be interested in getting if you're comfortable drawing them. ♥ (I know my sMail is full, I'll try to empty it out, if you need me to send you a message to reply to in the meantime please let me know) Also I'm aware the discount would only count for one of them as well if you accept to draw any. c:

Username: Character Reference(s): My half-elf Taika- Toyhouse Expression: Serious/angy (your example number 7 is pretty close) Additional Notes: Hard to tell from some refs there, but their eyes are blue with a bit of a copper sheen around the pupil (a reference to their dragon ancestry) Whose Character?: Mine Have you read / do you agree to my ToS?: Yes!
Can I claim a slot pls
Username: Nayona Character Reference(s): http://tokix3.weebly.com/eri.html">Eri Expression: thoughtful Additional Notes: would really love to get her neck fluff with the red splotch. She’s based off a bleeding heart dove Whose Character?: mine Have you read / do you agree to my ToS?: yes I have
Oop! I went to get lunch x'D I wasn't expecting such fast orders tbh!
I should really only need an smail when it's time to pay, but you can smail me once I have sketches for you. :)
Mina: Which image would you consider the most accurate reference for appearance / color? Would it be the 2nd piece? (I'm guessing since that's the designer?)
Hana: Is this character's skin white (2nd ref), or just very close to white (the other two)?
I think those are the only questions I have. The price for your order would be ($12+$15+$15=) $42! Are you okay with me doing all three at once, or would you prefer me do them one at a time so you can pay one at a time? (Adding you to a slot!)

For the eyes, is the piece with the purple background that you did yourself a good reference for the colors? And also, should this character be more androgynous in appearance? Most of their references look that way, so I don't want to draw them too feminine if that's the case! Your total would be $12 for this piece with the discount! (for reference when it's time to pay) (Adding you to a slot!)

I don't allow slot claims like this. You'll need to fill out the form so I can confirm I can draw your request before I accept your slot.
Sorry I know I was in the parking lot going into Disneyland and I just finished editing my post I was mostly keeping it just in case I got distracted haha sorry!!!
Yes, the purple background one is a good ref for the eyes and they are androgynous in appearance! (I don't always specify that when getting art for them and I probably should lmao) Thank you!!
No problem! Since these portraits contain a bit of the shoulders, I think the neck fluff will definitely be included :) You will have the last discounted slot, which means your total will be $12 (for your reference when it's time to pay!) And I'll add you to the last slot now!

It's no problem! I just like checking because I also have a few characters who get the feminine treatment when people draw them and then I kind of just bite my lip because I forgot to mention it in time lol.
Yooo thank you so excited. Love your art! Am I allowed to add another reference (if you like the design). Literally in line for pirates of the Caribbean and trying to get your awesome art 😂
Mina: Yes please, you're correct! The second image please, you can add a bit more pink hue to the skin if you feel it's too black/white.
Hana: Very close to white like the other two please! ♥
Price looks good, all at once is fine! ♥
If it's okay, I think just the one for now! I actually wasn't expecting to fill slots this quickly at all, and so I have a lot to work on starting tomorrow. LOL
Totally understand 😌 I just got excited!
Update time! I have all three sketches for you: ONE and TWO and THREE Please let me know if you need any changes to any of the pieces. This is the best time to ask for changes if you aren't happy with something! And I realize this is a LOT to look over, so don't worry if you need a little bit of extra time to look through them. :) (PS reminder that if your mail is still full, to either clear it or send me an smail with the title something like "Payment link" and I'll reply to it with my paypal link once I've got the sketches to your liking.)

Here is your sketch: LINK I admittedly was not sure if they should have the bun in the back or not because it seems to appear in newer pieces (for a new campaign I think I read?) so please let me know if you want it or not. It's no problem either way. Also please let me know if anything else needs changed or edited in any way. The sketch phase is the best time to ask for changes. :)
--
And last, but certainly not least I have a sketch for you too! LINK I am not 100% sure I got the expression right. I think the dot shaped eyebrows were throwing me off a little bit. If you'd like it changed, it's no problem, just let me know what you'd prefer and if you have a reference that's even better. Additionally, if there are any other changes you'd like, please go ahead and ask for those as well! The sketch phase is the best time to ask for changes!
Ohhh look at them ahhh! Yeah, the bun was just how I decided to start drawing them after a while so I'm defs on board with it! I don't have any changes! ^^
I think she looks pretty good tbh! I don’t have many of my characters fleshed out so their expressions/personalities are subject to a lot of change so I don’t mind too much. I can’t wait to see the finished product thank you.
Here are your finished three portraits :) ONE and a TWO and a THREE! Please let me know if you need any edits or adjustments. Thank you for commissioning me!
Here is your finished portrait! LINK I am not 100% sure that I got all the colors right because there were a few differences in each of the images, so please let me know if I messed anything up as well as letting me know if you need any changes or adjustments! Thank you for commissioning me!
Here is your finished portrait; LINK I had a little extra fun with the eyes, I hope that is alright with you! Please let me know if you need any edits or adjustments! And thank you for commissioning me :)
gasp I love them!! Yeah, the colours aren't super consistent but honestly I've kind of left it that way, and you matched them well! Makes Taika a little more mysterious imo Thank you again!!
