I’ve seen people do movies and books but this one is true carnage and yet I feel better about than my attempts to narrow it down to 9 albums I have two modes: 10-20 minute track on metal album of choice and song I really like to sing

9 tracks that did shape who I am but man there would be thousands of candidates for that
anyway, we have; Edguy – The Piper Never Dies, Avantasia – The Seven Angels, Nightwish – Bless the Child, Meat Loaf – I‘d Do Anything for Love, Samsas Traum – Im Ursprung der Schatten, Lindsey Stirling – Brave Enough, Seventh Wonder – The Great Escape, Auli’i Carvalho – How Far I’ll Go, Hikaru Utada – Sanctuary (it says Openiing version but honestly both are important to me)

Two commissions I finished recently! (well. Last month) Their thematic connection is incidental. I have no reason to assume the people who commissioned me know each other. It is a little funny to me because they both contacted me around the same time and I worked on these simultaneously.

A family portrait. The characters are fictional and from a TTRPG setting

Another family portrait, this time real people in period clothing

More pages I like from chapter 2 (telling your loved ones to go tf to sleep) I want to step up my game but chapters already take so long… someone smarter than myself help me budget this

a comic page (girl in cave. If someone was with her, they could call her out on her lack of sleep)

comic page (actually does feature characters calling each other out on their lack of sleep)

comic page (also featuring calling someone out for not sleeping)

yet another comic page about lack of sleep (it’s incidental, I swear)

Rules and list of prints available: Offer stands as long as stock lasts. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. Thank you for playing! If emails scare you, I made a google form that you can use instead, I’m not picky. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Alt text part one:

So my offer is to give away the remaining prints for free as long as you pay for shipping AND, if applicable, money transaction fees. Probably only viable for people in the EU as I can sneak them into the mail for relatively cheap as “letters” (untracked, however), and yes, I am as averse to paying for shipping as everyone else is, but it’s the fairest deal I can think of. Unless you wanna come over and pick up your prints in person. Feel free. We can go grab ice cream. No, I can’t offer you a place to stay, my cat is afraid of people.
Shipping for A5 prints as letters is currently at 3,30€, A4 at 6,50€. That is still cheaper than what I would charge for them at a con, especially if you take a couple. Optional tips for the prints themselves would be mightily appreciated as I am currently jobless but also incredibly busy with caring for my cat, and his treatment and medical supplies are tearing through my savings. However, I do not expect them, and rest assured that I will still gladly give you the prints as long as my expenses for shipping them are 100% covered.
Letters are likely not an option for anywhere outside the EU where I’ll have to do a customs declaration and ship the prints as actual packages! So if you’re outside the EU, I’ll still happily give you prints, but sadly we’ll have to expect high shipping.

A numbered list of prints available and alt text part two:

Here’s how to play:
send me an email (wenzel.franziska@web.de) stating your name, address, preferred payment method, and which prints, how many, and in which size you’d like them (I have A4 and A5).
Choose as many as you want! If you like, add a note that you enjoy misprint freebies (off colours or discontinued papers) and I will give you some as extras to the “regular” print that you ordered. I also have a ton of old charms…
I also have a few zines left!
I will get back to you to confirm your order, collect the shipping money, and ship out your order. You’ll receive a very ugly envelope with very ugly cardboard to keep the prints from bending.
Again, tips are appreciated but not expected.
Since I am VERY busy, I will ship them out whenever I run errands, anyway, so don’t expect me to run to the post office the next morning just for you. However, I’ll probably do a run every other week or so, if there is enough interest.

I ’d like to earn back some of the money for my grandpa kitty’s astronomical vet bills, so commissions are finally open again! (technically I also need to pay other, regular bills but… you know…) Note that for the first time, I will offer a discount for additional characters.

info graphic with a price sheet for commissions and some additional information about pricing and commission options.

The additional info reads:
Default crop will be a waistup or 3/4 depending on what suits the pose and composition
Bookable extras upon request (please get in touch to get an individual price quote since these will vary on a case by case basis):
small animal companion
detailed background or decorative frame instead of gradient
+5% transaction fees if you pay via Paypal, but I do accept and prefer other payment options without extra fees, so please check if those are available in your country!
I will give you the final quote incl. fees before invoicing you.
Inquiries via email to wenzel.franziska@web.de or via google form. In either case, I need you to read and agree to the Terms of Service.
I’ll be happy to answer any questions or concerns in advance if you still have any after reading the ToS!

Some of these were easy, some so hard that I left them blank. I consider many games overrated, but on a scale from “I do like it, just not as much as others do”, over “I am the target audience but don’t like it” to “it’s popular but I’m so not the target audience and I’d rather die than play it”.

The my9games.com thing was harder than it needs to be There is no specific order to these I tried to put more focus on past favourites than recent ones, mostly because I haven’t had time to play anything in years, I just watch people do it for me while I eat or work (usually my friend Cray)
