Misc details:
-New followers welcome
-We've never drawn anthros, so aren't comfortable attempting that. Androids and robots are fine, as long as they're very humanoid; same with demons and other entities.
-If you could share this: bsky.app/profile/pyro... it's appreciated, but not required

Last few days I was out of the game, so didn't get my seasonal commissions posted by the first like I had wanted. But they are up on my ko-fi now; 5 slots on there but may open more later. ko-fi.com/pyrolux/comm...

Check out the outfit and pet/animal adopts we have up as well. A few seasonal ones.

Screencap of a ko-fi commission widget for Autumn/Halloween Seasonal Chibi Icons starting at $30. Widget shows an example as well as some the available backgrounds to pick from. The widget box reads: "Autumn and Halloween themed chibi bust. Base price is for: simple background and sky, no/minimal shading, basic make-up, simple outfit and jewelry. Attire will be Autumn or Halloween themed and colors unless you otherwise specify. If you have any questions, are confused by anything, or need clarification on anything, feel free to message me. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery since I do have a commissions queue and IRL stuff. I do have a Rush add-on if you would like it sooner."

pale male elf with white hair and blue eyes. He has Calaveras style make-up and is surrounded by a Day of the Dead themed frame. He is wearing a black spiked collar and a spider-web themed fishnet goth shirt. The sky behind him is purple with starts and a huge full moon like a halo behind his head.
Character belongs to me.

A female elvish water genasi with green eyes, pale blonde hair with blue streaks in a simple braid, and pale green skin stands in front of a Halloween themed background that starts as orange at the top and gradually changes to red at the bottom. There is a black widow hanging from a spider web on the left side behind and a grinning jack-o-lantern behind her on the right side with autumn leaves blowing above it.
Character belongs to @xamyy.bsky.social, artwork by Xamy as well.

Below the text box, is a small teal and purple box with a simple starry frame. Inside the frame are two chibi characters examples done up in Autumn-Halloween attire and backgrounds. The one on the left is more detailed with shading, textures on the clothing and background, and other extra details. The one on the right is more simple, with a basic orange gradient background that has a jack-o'lantern, autumn leaves, and a black widow spider hanging from a web. There is minimal textures and shading in the scene. Both examples have "No AI" and the artists' watermarks.

Been meaning to set up an art raffle last couple days, I need to make a graphic for it first. Gonna lay down for a bit and get a little rest, then try to get that infographic for the raffle made so I can get it started ASAP. Long weekend, so maybe that will make it a bit easier to focus.

I also accept commissions for these outside of ko-fi: payment via Venmo, CashApp, Paypal, etc are accepted. Comment or dm me. If you want a NSFW version, it has to be done outside of Ko-fi; NSFW only applies to females since this is a bust-style commission.
Example belongs to @nirates.bsky.social

Elvish female with greyish purple skin, purple eyes, and long hair that starts white and gradually becomes a pale purple. She has purple and orange make-up and the rest of her outfit is also purple and orange, with gold metal accents. Her outfit is made of lots of jewels, beads, and semi-transparent fabric. Behind her on the right is a spooky tree with limbs that look almost like they may try to grab you and a brick and metal post fence to the left behind her. The sky is various shades of dark blue and purple, with stars sprinkled about and a crescent moon glowing in the sky and a few stray clouds.

First couple adopts up in my ko-fi! ko-fi.com/pyrolux/shop

Both are Ravens. If you'd like to purchase, you can buy it there or I also will do Paypal or even CashApp (US$ only).

I will be sorting mine and my daughter's simple, cheap adopts later and slowly getting those posted as well.

A fanciful raven from various angles with bright hot pink plummage, green scales on its belly and matching green beak and legs. It has a fancy golden plummage around the back of its neck and down to the front of the upper chest. It's eyes swirl with blues and purples and a magical golden wisp. The largest version holds colorful beads in its beak that then wrap around it. The bust version holds a shiny colorful gem in its beak. Watermarks of "Pyrolux Aemilius" partially cover all the birds.

A 3-eyed raven from various angles with dark crimson plummage in a couple different shades, a cream colored beak and dark cream colored legs. It has a fancy silver collar around its neck with a lavender gemstone dangling from it. It's eyes are also lavender. The largest version stands protectively over an egg that is lavender with cream colored speckles. The bust version holds a white cherry in its beak. Watermarks of "Pyrolux Aemilius" partially cover all the birds.

A collection of illustrations featuring Catcus, the cactus cat, against a soft brown background, in a flat, shadeless art style. Catcus is a green cat with cactus spikes all over her body, her tail stylised to look like a cactus with a pink flower on it. The six illustrations showcase Catcus being cheeky and playful, knocking plant pots over and rolling in the dirt, sleeping in planters curled cutely, becoming eeeeextra loooong as a pair of gardening gloves pull her out of a plant pot, and followed by her little catcittens, which look like little round cacti balls.You just cannot stay mad at her mischievous self, she's just too cute!

F4F is something from the early internet social days that I wish would die. I refused to do it almost 20yrs ago when I joined dA, & I've refused thru every site since: tumblr, twitter, twitch, here, and many others. I was on BS early, made sure my bio had "no F4F" since I was already seeing it then

Screenshot of text, written by me, which reads:

“A message to any early-career creatives, wondering if things have always been this tough:

No. No they haven’t. I’ve been doing this for 30 yrs, through recessions, financial crashes, pandemics and wars. It has *NEVER* been this tough, not even close.

But please, PLEASE keep going if you can.
Your work has never been more needed or more important.”

Inktober sets completely unrealistic expectations regarding output. Making a complete inked drawing in one day EVERY day for a month is insane and a recipe for burnout. Don’t tie your worth to something that even professionals believe is unrealistic.

O.o any explanation or any clue why? I did a quick glance online and seems to be a known issue with them for a while and they really don't seem to care.

unfortunately, i don't know any alternatives, good or otherwise

PSA: If you're an author & you get a chatty email from a marketer, or book club that praises your book & bashes Amazon's algo before offering to 'help', usually with 500 to 10,000 reviewers, it's just a ChatGPT automated marketing scam.

It's the new Nigerian prince email, brought to you by 'AI' 🙄.
