COMMISSION MENU.

  • Pieces are selected 1 or 2 at a time until complete and based on what Lydia currently finds most appealing. That said, we do generally work through oldest inquiries to newest first. Inquiries are not confirmed until Lydia has replied to you and money has been exchanged.

  • With over a decade of experience, Lydia has gained skilled versatility to successfully tackle almost anything, including:

    • Animals, furries, hybrids (including pet portraits)

    • Humanoids

    • People of different races, body types (including fat & trans), and varied age

    • Monsters & robots

    • Environments of most kinds

    • Sponsored illustrations

    • Client's OC with Lydia's Widderwood characters (full price still applies)

    • (mild) drugs, smoking, alcohol depiction

    • (mild) NSFW and pinups

    • (mild) violence, horror, and blood

  • There's little Lydia can't draw, but we don't accept these themes:

    • Political

    • Illegal content

    • Content targeting a group

    • Extreme gore

    • Style emulation (though referencing a pre-1950s piece may be accepted)

    • Custom designs

  • There's lots Lydia loves and excels at! Including:

    • Coyotes, hares, dogs, horses, and most other ungulates

    • The black shuck, headless horseman, ghosts

    • Historical garments, motifs, environments, especially 1800s-1910s

    • Satyrs, fauns, centaurs, and similar

    • Forests & similar wild environments

    • Fat and/or trans folk

  • Small companions or tools (like a cat or axe) will not require any additional fees in most cases.

    Character-focused pieces like chibis or avatars will be charged double, as it is double the work.

    Illustrative pieces with multiple characters will vary as we assess this based on composition.
    Standard half body to fullbody pieces often will be around 60-90% of the base price. Environmental pieces have even greater range due to composition; ask for a quote!

  • Please read through the above information. No need to rush to get your inquiry in- our selection process is slow paced.

    WHAT WE NEED.
    In your email please include:

    1. What type of commission(s) you want. If you want a quote for later or have a budget, be upfront.

    2. Your character's reference sheets and any immediately necessary information, such as a quick two sentence summary or quick list of their personality or background for context. Do not send bulky stories and expanded profiles with expectation they will be read; they will not.

    3. If relevant, a stick-man sketch of the composition you have in mind, a list of motifs/symbolisms/themes, photos of the type of environment you want, pose idea, mood, and/or any other info to influence the piece.
