>>8947233this artist has left me on pending for 28 days. i would cancel, but i have nothing to lose at this point.
>>8947222yeah and?
>>8947233I love this sheep so much
I sent out a 300k manga request to an artist and they literally tweeted out 30 seconds ago that they will cancel all pending requests :(
>>8947250>300kWhat?
>>8947251fine, technically 299,999 yen but I rounded it up
wip
>>8947250nekomata?
My 2000+ character excessive (for me at least) loredump request was accepted this morning. And my one sentence kicdon one too.
>>8947255yes
>>8947257did he accept
>>8947258No, and I probably won't get a resend either
>>8947259>また手が空いたタイミングで再送要請するかもしれませんのでその時に気が向いたらよろしくお願いしますcould happen, maybe not
anyone ever requested from kulettula (http://skeb.jp/@j1S0dbMKRA)? I'm kinda a sucker for this type of art but he mostly draws stuff im not into>>8947259kinda sounded like the artist was that blinded by the amount of your request that he canceled every other request just to accept yours which would've been cool imo
>>8947265Nah, I have been cockblocked by the entity known as comiket
https://skeb.jp/@1kusa7/works/3anon
https://skeb.jp/@Renz_Amami5k sfwartist is shocked that they got a skeb request
>>8941706>>8945796I saw this artist and thought of you. Not exactly melancholic, but you might like them.https://skeb.jp/@NonELuX
https://skeb.jp/@kuroirogaitou/works/8
https://skeb.jp/@goko_moon/works/39JD
Accepted then canceled due to not fitting the artist's taste huh...
>>8947372dayum, juicy thighs
>>8947250better have at least been a good request and not more NTR shit
>>8947420What was the request about? If you're ok with sharing that, of course
>>8947235giantess got pregnant art after they stopped posting here to spite me specifically
>>8947440Blondie student council prez needs votes from the other members so they make her put out for it. she acts like she doesn’t want to but she’s actually into it
>>8947235>https://skeb.jp/@morikawa0208/works/408pure sovl, cute
>>8947454Dang that would have been good.Maybe he had a crush on his old highschool’s student council president.
>>8947454that sounds interesting and it isn't anything weird either, maybe they aren't interested in school scenarios?
Rakupote, please... It's been so long... My request isn't that complex...
>6 requests approvedI have delivery withdrawal please artist-sans
>https://skeb.jp/@0120_oss/works/1Finally some nice pussy
>>8947466My guess is he’s more into loli-ish stuff and not group sex. My char more of a gal body type.
So I guess the information of point timer doesn't reset is true, it was 25k refunded and look at all this mess
>>89474128k and took around 5 weeksPSD has layers for the thank you message and background.
https://skeb.jp/@__32_0Open, 4k SFW OCsCasual sketches that should be done by the weekend
How would I go about designing an OC for commissions? Make something in koikatsu and go from there?
>>8947484That's how I made mine
>>8947484Think of what you want, look up references to the hairstyle/clothing you'd like. If any secondaries or other OC's scratch an itch you should include them and highlight what specific parts you want. If you want any personality traits represented, give them that description.Start simple, go from there, don't be afraid to let the artist take liberties and do it through a trad comm if you can.
>>8947484I'm a big fan of the (Existing character trait I like) + (Existing Character trait I like) + Vibe/Theme + Omakase approach
>>8947482Looked at the miniature while scrolling and thought she actually got stabbed. Btw JD-anon, can I borrow her for a hypnosis request with my girl?
>>8947489I thought the same when I saw the thumbnail as well.Sure.
>>8947484If you have a game with a character creator, use that as a base for at least the looks. My first OC Faye was made in a game then had artists make an outfit and ref sheet
>>8947484Take elements from characters you like and create a Frankenstein's monster out of them. You can also list a bunch of details, send it to an artist and see what happens.
>>8947484most of my OCs are "thematic" or gimmicky like:>turboslut bimbo with twintailsor>short hair tomboy with slim flexible bodyor>big buff oni galMaybe make one for a specific theme you'd like and pick the characteristics you like and associate the theme/kink/genre
>>8947484>draw it yourself >koikatsu/similar>minimal refs and vibes tradcomm>ref moodboard tradcomm>refs and text skeb gacha>only text, pure skeb gacha choose your poison
>>8947484For my OC I wrote a brief version of her personality, height, age, race, etc. then started mixing and matching what i wanted her to look like: body type like this character, breast size like this other one, hairstyle, hair color, eye color, and so on... then for the outfit i just threw a bunch of examples of the overall theme I wanted and asked to be something like that (and pinpointing a few details, accents and colors I would like to see as well)
