Couple notices: I won’t be taking new coms for a while to both give much needed maintenance to the ipad and update my stores. The car YCH will soon go on a long break. I’ll still take one or two more batches before it happens. As of now I have no plans for a new one. Black kitty barista soon 🙏

Not me panicly rushing through commissions thinking I was about to hit the 1 month deadline until I looked back to the invoice dates and realized it hasn’t even been two weeks yet. I need a break, man.

Anon message in tumblr sparked inspiration and I was all for it

Screencapture of a pokemon doodle. Raquaza garbed as 16th century polish poet Mikołaj Rey. A ribbon banner at the bottom spells out “Mr Ray Von Quaza.”

Sceencapture of a tumblr anonymous ask message that reads as follows:

hi I just wanted to tell you that your Mr Ray von Quaza drawing has changed my life forever. I say "Mr Ray von Quaza" to myself at least once a month, I always think about it when I see a picture of Rayquaza and I even named my recently bought Rayquaza plushie "Mr Rey" (Pan Rey in my language, spelled with an "e" like the 16th century polish poet Mikołaj Rey because i'm weird like that)

Have a nice day <3

And just a heads up, I’m reopening commissions tomorrow and the day after. So, that’s friday for the full body and sketch coms and saturday for the YCH at 6pm CST as usual. I’m thinking 3-4 slots for the regular coms depending on the response and the usual 10 for the beepers.

Got someone on Tumblr asking for tips on how to plan a pattern layout. Short answer: I don't plan out. Long answer: an image thread on how I tackle patterns (if you already know the basics: malkshake.tumblr.com/post/1427144...)

tumblr ask from username gellyh:

I really love your adorable repeating/tiling designs! They always make me smile any time I see them, and now I kind of want to try my hand at making one myself, but I wouldn't even know how to begin! Do you have any tips on how to plan a layout? 🙏

My response:

Ahaha... plan... funny word.

This is how I evidence myself to the world: I don't meticulously plan things nor do I have a precise methodology for making patterns. I have general ideas of what looks good but the doing is very messy.

If you already know how to make seamless patterns (I made a tutorial 10 yrs ago) what follows is the art equivalent of playing tetris.

Just gonna put it out there, cause sometimes I get a vibe from ppl like I'm out there rejecting commission forms left and right (I get it tho, the ToS is very dry like that) but I rarely refuse anyone based off of their characters. There's only been two instances where it happened+

This Saturday I lost a friend, and today is his birthday. He was a dear friend whom I saw every day in our group of friends. He once told me that thanks to me, he began to see sharks in a much deeper way and said that the blue shark was his favorite.

With this pending off my back, I'm probably gonna reopen commissions somewhere between this friday and saturday. That includes the YCH too, just not certain how many I'll take this time around yet (prices will have to be adjusted too bc I HATE drawing cars)

I was dangerously tempted to caption the crocs with something along the lines of "you met me at a very l!sa fr@nk time of my life" but I'm better off not getting copyright claimed for... *checks notes* using rainbow gradients.

The area near the capital was struck with 7.2 and 7.5 earthquake. Some Venezuelans were greatly affected including some of the ones here. If you have the means to help donate to their kofi's or other means directly to them. Int organization funds often don't reach as many people here
