Oh shit! At least you caught it before it did any more damage. Hopefully it's covered by insurance. *finger's crossed*

You're welcome to DM me any ideas, but please understand I'm not currently in the market for any more commission work at the immediate moment. I had some unexpected expenses pop up over the weekend that's going to have me in a pinch for a month or so.

I can check an item off my 2026 list of "stuff I finally need to do even though I have anxiety" - I OFFICIALLY HAVE A REF SHEET FOR MY FURSONA!

Not in a great headspace today.

Check on your queer friends.
Check on your not queer friends.
Check on your neighbors.

Be strong.
Be safe.
Be better humans.

Don't believe government propaganda.
Don't fall for AI manipulation.

Resist fascism. 🏳️‍🌈

My "What You Need To Know About Tear Gas" thread:

First, tear gas is a particulate, not an actual vapor or gas. In some cases, this means you can get some of the tear gas off your clothes by standing in a stiff breeze or strong fan.

Unfortunately so, but it was to be expected. But at least I did find an artist for the ref sheet and a few others with really cool portfolios that I may commission in the future for other art.

I made a baby-sized quilt today for my niece. Her shower theme was "punk princess" so I decided baby's first battle blankie needed to happen using only repurposed fabric scraps. Very punk, right? Just needs a final wash & ironing.

Thank you to everyone that responded, I'm looking at portfolios and price lists and I'll reach out :)
Fellow Furries... I need a ref sheet but I have no clue where to start. I cannot draw for shit, so making one myself is out of the question.

Who are some trustworthy folks with an open commission slot that might be able to help me bring my trash gryphon fantasy to life for a reasonable price?

Not quite what I was looking for, but thank you for replying! I'll def keep you in mind for future work!

DMs are not closed, I've got a bunch of people in there I need to respond to when I have time. I'm not glued to my computer or phone all day.

You seem very eager, but please understand I'm really early in this process & want to make sure I select the right artist for my needs.

Can you DM your price sheet and a portfolio link for me to take a peek at? Thanks!

I'm wanting to get a ref sheet for my fursona. I'm finding out it's really difficult to comission new art without one - especially things like having a head made.

Unfortunately, all I have as image references right now are the avatars I've had made for my Twitch channel.
January 2, 2026 at 4:32 PM
Before you start anything, do you have a price list I could look at?

I'd be happy to send a message with the images I have from trying to get a Twitch pngtuber avatar made over the last year. They're cute, but they're not useful for my commissioning future projects.
January 2, 2026 at 4:20 PM
I have three different pngtuber avatars that were made for my Twitch over the past year based on verbal descriptions of my sona, but I'm pretty sure they were all AI-produced. 🥲

I'll check out your portfolio!
January 2, 2026 at 4:15 PM
Honestly I'm not sure what I need, but I think a simpler one might be a good starting point?

My sona shares my undercut hairstyle paired with a slouchy beanie hat. Everything else is open to some level of artist's interpretation.
January 2, 2026 at 4:05 PM
My sona is an opossum w/raccoonish markings that has hideable gargoyle wings. Think of the 90s Gargoyles cartoon sewer-dwellers if they were transformation furs.

It's hard to fit the backstory and meaning within the character limit. I've been gifted AI art, but I'd rather a real drawn ref sheet. 🎨

Medically assisted or not, we're all still *really proud* of you for taking the steps to take care of yourself. It takes a lot to make that choice and we're all out here cheering you on!
