A digital illustration of two of my characters, Imani and Mona, praying. They are in a mosque, kneeling side by side. Imani is a Black woman dressed in a long skirt and hijab, with a modest clothing style mostly in black and dark magenta. Beside her is her toddler daughter, Mona, who wears colorful, mismatched clothing, her curly hair pulled back into pigtails. She has her hands over her face as she prays, with Imani's hands open in front of her in a du'a position.

A digital art piece of Gabriel, an original character. He is a genderfluid (but fairly masc-presenting here) skinny Filipino in his early 20s. He has curly hair and freckles all over his body, and is sits in front of a lightly graffitied wall holding a vape with bright purple nails on his hand. His tshirt says, "Yes, I'm bi (Bible Lover). And also bisexual."

A digital illustration of my OC Nzuzi, an androgynous Congolese man, taking a selfie. He has long dreadlocks with gold jewelry, bright gold eyeshadow, and bright, shiny red lipstick. He wears some sort of sleeveless shirt or possibly dress, with a light jacket falling off his shoulders, and his phone is bright yellow with the intersex flag on it. The colors of the piece are extremely saturated and bold.

A traditional marker illustration of Jinsoul from Kpop groups Loona/ARTMS. She poses with her hands up in a blue striped dress with various accessories and a headset microphone.

Looking for a #VGen invite code if anyone has one to spare! 🙏 #VGenCode

That's all super helpful, thank you!! I think I'm gonna make a post in a few mins to hopefully find someone with a code 👀 🤞

OH HUH

That's kind of reassuring then omg 😭 Maybe I should?

Do you need an invite just to sign up or is that a verification thing too?

Oh huh 🤔 Maybe I'll look into it but idk if it's worth my time even setting up if it's going to, like, demote me if I'm not verified though? I just want a way for my comms to get seen easier since Bsky posts get me absolutely nothing lol and I could really use the cash rn 🫠

Curious.... 👀

Ahh thank you!! But tbh you don't really have to, I just now learned there's a like... minimum amount of monthly sales or something? Which I mostly want an account because I can't find people to buy my comms at all so 😅 I guess it's not for me lol

Oh I knew there was a process to getting verified but I didn't know you need a specific amount of sales every month too?? 😭 Nevermind I can hardly get one commission when I open them like twice a year LOL.....

3, then 146 ??

A marker drawing of my character Nzuzi, an androgynous Congolese man with his hair in long dreadlocks. He is shown lying on his stomach, cropped to show him from the chest up, and he wears a pinkish-purple flowy top and has similar nail and lip colors to match. The background is also different shades of purple, but done digitally with added glittery sparkles over top.

Flash commission open, one slot only! 🎨

(I really want to get a Nintendo DS since I miss my old childhood one I had to sell years ago 🥹)

Art friends: Does having a Vgen account help you get commissions? Or does it more just streamline the process? Is making an account something I should look into or is it not worth the trouble?

A cropped digital illustration of two masculine Native American characters kissing. One with arm tattoos leans over to kiss the nose of one sitting on the ground. The one sitting wears a purple arm band and a white bead necklace, and holds a basket of corn with the purple Haudenosaunee flag woven into the design.

A graphic with a bold green background and gold design details. Text at the top says "Merch highlight: Ray." Shown are two different bookmark designs. The one on the left has a trans woman putting on her makeup, wearing old flapper attire including a red dress and short hair with a headband and feather. The mirror she looks into is golden with intricate details. On the right, two Chinese women in elegant hanfu dresses embrace with their faces close, both with large pink flowers in their hair. One has a red shawl that swirls toward the floor before rising up again, framing the top of them as well.

The finished headscarf! The indigo is a tradition of the Tuareg people (like Ousmane, the OC I threw into this historical AU to fit @taplingzines.bsky.social queer history zine), and the color was so rich and fun to paint

(Even though it did take me 3 hours 🫠)
