TOS
my art is inherently experimental, it will very loosely follow the examples shown. i personally feel that the artistic liberties i take are important to my artistic process.
payments are paid in full through venmo, paypal, or zelle, i start work once payment is received
i can give an estimated turnaround time upon request of commissioner (typically 2 weeks to 1 month turnaround)
i send sketches as i feel necessary, typically i will gain all relevant info about a commission through you upon initial correspondence
extra charges may come with changes!
my traditional pieces are always mixed media (shipping is optional)
I have the right to refuse any commission for any reason!!!
commission status: OPEN
please contact me on my socials or through the following means to request a commission.
telegram: sc00pi3
discord: sc00pie
agreeing to commission me means that you fully agree with what is written in my TOS
maud finally has time to take care of herself. briar is still hopelessly in love with maud. a story about post-break-up coping, and the different ways that shows in people.only physical copies availible.
A zine about my personal experience as therian/otherkin. i plan to create more art describing these kinds of experiences but for now this is just a simple breakdown of the two most prevalent parts of myself.
A love letter to queer people of the past. this one shot shows an instance of a seal and a mouse learning how to communicate boundaries. this is all thanks to the queer people who lived and died before us. it's always love for our people.
a zine encapsulating my connection to objects. items are more then just that, they are beings that carry energy just like you or i. in conjunction with that, i also view myself as an object in some ways. it feels right. not in any sort of self deprecating way, i just am an object. a little toy or maybe even a chair.
comic i did on a whim. i used to experience a lot of top dysphoria and this was somewhat of an outlet for that.
another one of my comics that focuses around gender dysphoria. sex can be a difficult topic for me to approach and at this time it was very difficult for me to experience sex without dysphoria.
a comic featured in issue #1 of CZC (comic zine collaboration) about a kid in class revisiting their childhood fantasy world.
a collaborative zine hosted by myself including 5 other artists. This was my first collaborative zine and had no theme.
digital love (2020)
comic that was in celebration of healthy relationship ideas after getting out of a lowkey sucky relationship.
my experience as a mixed person. i'm blwasian.
this was a comic done for my mentor during sophmore year in high school. the theme was "the Unkown".
Created in response to feeling inadequate towards my high school boyfriend. realize now that we were just kids. still a comic that resonates with most.
