Hey folks, so I recently got hit with some big vet bills. So I am opening a limited run of PWYW sketch pages to help get out of a tight spot.
Any little bit helps a ton, even if you want to just drop a small coffee to help.

Ooooo love this question!
I love characters that are two sides of the same coin. Maybe they've gone through similar trauma and turned out different, or there's a fundamental part of them that's the same but presents different.
Either way, they see a little of themselves in each other.

i'm interested to see if anyone else is like this: what ship of yours/ship dynamic are you most inspired by, and in which ways do you incorporate that into your own oc/characters?
i'm endlessly inspired by zosan and little pieces of them are in many of my ocs :3

Sun/Moon coded is my absolute favorite couples dynamic. I love a sunshine boy and each ship I write fanfic for has one. (which lets be honest is just Reki & Langa) but I day dream about other ships! Opposites attract is along the same lines, fire and ice. ♡♡

i know it can be annoying to see people reposting their comm sheets and ko-fi links continuously, but i hope it's not bothering anyone!
it's really hard for artists to get by right now, so any help is noticed and appreciated, especially as we get closer to the holidays🖤

That said; if you have the means to support small artists please do so or we wont be able to keep making art. Avoid giving moneys to massive corporations. Piracy isnt a problem, exploitation and living in a society where you have to earn continued life however is. If you can help others you should.
