@Jessamine: It's completely up to you if you want to do them both at the same time or do one now and the other later! None of us want to put any stress on artists for these so whatever fits your schedule. c: I'll go ahead and send the first two items for the pic of Aesop though, and then if you decide to just do it all at once sort of thing I'll toss the other item into the trade!

Either works! If you'd prefer keeping it more private definitely feel free to DM it to us, otherwise just post it in the thread when you're done!
And yeah, you can post it wherever!

@prezial: let's go with the painted halfbodies. :O if that works for you!
so it'll be crysoara witch, styr, tootsie, unique bases and 15k for everything? just wanna double check c:

@prezial: awesome! sent the trade over. c:

@rat squad: My first completed commission piece of Aesop - an OC by ghost on Voltra. (Full resolution)



I had a lovely and challenging time drawing Aesop <3 I want to hug him ;-; & his playlist is epic btw I couldn't find exact matching colour pencils for some of his colour scheme; I hope that's okay :viocry: Also...his skin is grey, right?

Thank you so much for the trade!! <3 I'll accept right now~

May I please request if you display anywhere that you save as to your own server, and put 'Art by Jessamine on Voltra' as caption or title? :)

Lastly, I have planned out the Arkris/Soleil piece and am pretty hyped to start creating. But I need to rest for a while. I am completely happy with you starting trade for the last item after I complete/ping you the piece! :)

Thank you very much <33

These are so cute

SORRY FOR THE DELAYED RESPONSES

@prezial: the WIPs both look incredible! everything looks perfect for them so far!

@jessamine: aesop turned out looking so good look at this good boy...
the little details are so nice as well and got me BIG EMOTIONAL.

thank you so much for drawing him! i completed the trade for the items for this piece and i'll go ahead and start the trade for the other one. c: sorry for the delay to this - the past few days have been busy.

@juliette: ahhh soleil turned out so cute, yes she's ready to get into her monk antics.
thank you for drawing her

@rat squad: thank you very much!! <33 i'm happy you like it ^^ yeah, I tend to get a bit carried away with the details, but it was fun!!

i loved both sketching/drawing with lead pencil & then seeing it come to fuller realism with colour & got especially excited seeing his eyes come to life xD i love how vibrant my colour pencils are ^^

i tried to make it seem like he was singing in the forest but with leaves falling down from one of the trees since i thought i would make the background too overcrowded with trees (due to how big i drew him); but greenery at least!! :P & I decided to have him wear a necklace symbolising Soleil because...they have become my new otp & of course, gravestone/moon/skull with lone tear down face necklace was an essential contrast. And i'm very happy with how i drew his ears :)

Also, I love how Aesop likes listening to Peter Hollens & Karliene <3

thank you for the completed & sent trades! :D

I actually made good progress on Arkris/Soleil today; the main focus was capturing him reading to Soleil, and i think I did that well with their two bodies (a bit past bust i think) turned towards each other & placement w Soleil on left side & Arkris on right was hopefully well proportioned enough but of course, will need to be eraser/pencil refined & detailed more. (SOLEIL LOOKS SO CUTE AND EXCITED W ARKRIS READING; I love their friendship). So it was okay for me to have to nix some of their surroundings since i drew them pretty big again xD, but i managed to keep a few in that would accentuate well but just at a distance from the bigger focus! it's still very sketch-y atm & needs more refining, but i'm happy so far!

the most difficult thing is drawing Arkris' head tbh (i think Arkris is an amazing character and i want to do him justice) & i am studying up on crocodile/lupine open jaw structure~

overall, it'll take a while for me to finish; thank you very much for your patience & understanding & it's completely alright on the reply delay; never too late/no pressure to reply ^^

@rat squad: My completed second commission! (Full resolution. Horizontal.)



I'm happy overall with this; I think I portrayed their friendship well & am especially pleased for my first attempt at two-set character interaction in one page & a completely non-humanoid creature (Arkris). :) Although I'm also very nervous I messed up Arkris' neck/upper torso proportion in conjunction to his head (he's wearing an overlarge winter jumper, okay <.<). & I'm a little less nervous about my experimental lining of Soleil's hair (it looks an interesting texture!) and that I drew her shoulders too high up & definitely made her upper torso too small (she's bunching up her shoulders in excitement at an especially entrancing story Arkris is telling her & at least I can see her shoulder action with her small upper torso and she overall can be featured in the piece more.)

Thank you very much!! ^^

I love all of these characters. ^_^

@rat squad: Still wanting to draw the character.
