RIGHT Comms are back on the menu folks!

There's a range of stuff available from quick and sketchy icons to full illustrated scenes. Click through for examples.

I just downgraded my day job to half the hours due to studies so these would help me a ton!

oh it would probably be fine now it's mostly been a thing in my pre/early T youth it's just residual ill feelings 😩 I'll muster the courage to go to a barber one of these days cause a good five inches off the ends wouldn't hurt!

respect to the good ones out there but the rest have attempted to feminize me one too many times, so now it's either I shave my own head or let it grow till it's 20 miles long

The month of Guising is upon us! Find a neep, stuff it full of pesky wisps, climb to the tallest hill you can find and then throw the neep into the ether! This is a proud tradition still carried on by the werewolves of Scotland today.

This fine fellow is for @exaltxix.bsky.social 🐺

I have absolutely busted ass this year to get outstanding house bills paid and I've also reduced my own debts (mostly leftover from top surgery cause I didn't have sick pay) so yeah I've done a pretty good job with that but even my therapist was like. listen you gotta stop working so much you'll die

I'm worried about moneyyy it's obviously better not being in a miserable full time job alongside studies and art and all that but. it's always scary when I need to take comms for food money

I wish kofi would let me do discounts on separate categories of comms. alas. I can probably just do a separate wee category with limited slots
