Vixichrome

Long story short, our water at home has gone out and there's a couple possibilities of what the problem might be but both will cost a hefty sum (one being worse than the other of course but)

ko-fi.com/vixichrome

I made a Ko-fi in a hurry to toss this out but yeah I have a Ko-fi now. I might do something for rewards in the future but for now it's solely for donations. If you can't throw any money my way that's fine of course but anything you can send in to lighten the blow would be appreciated.

Second, I was wanting to gauge how much interest people would have in adoptables made by me. For anything, really. Characters, critters, possibly Fakemon. JUST sometimes I feel like drawing a random character like an anthropomorphic Pokemon or maybe some random critter but of course me being me I'd feel the need to make that some kind of mainstay character even if I might not feel the need to use them ever again, since making them a one-off character would feel a bit like a waste.

BASICALLY I wouldn't mind drawing one-off characters and creatures and selling them off to anyone who's interested in using them further. Again, comment if you'd be interested in something like that.

Thanks in advance for any support you'd like to throw my way!

I feel like first off, I owe something of an appology to anybody that's a fan of my Chushin-Pokedex. I think it goes without say that of all my currently ongoing projects, it's the one that's seen the most neglect by a country mile. And because of that, it's taken FAR longer than it has any right to have taken. Just in recent years I've run into a bit of a problem concerning those Fakemon. Namely, that the passion about Chushin has run its course in me. I've tired myself on the project. For multiple reasons, one of which being simply because the project has been running on for so long.

...But the main reason being these Fakemon are based on ideas I've made anywhere between 7 to 10 years ago. The only exceptions being #121-130, which I came up with relatively recently to replace the slots left behind by deciding to not bother with Legacy Evolutions. That was good in providing a nice surge of creativity back into me but now I've almost drawn all of them. So then it's back to those ideas that I'm far less interested in and a lot more bored with. Yes I could retool some, and I have retooled some in the past. (Chillar and Dracoin being notable examples) but that takes quite a bit of time to try and shift a less than stellar idea to a little bit better of one. The more I've looked at Chushin, the more it feels like this whole project is all just one big first draft. And what do I do when it feels like I've slaved away at a really long first draft?

...To put it simply, I'm starting over, in a way. I had always had the dream that Topaz and Amethyst would get to be games one day but. Nintendo being so protective of its IP, I couldn't see that ending well even if I still had the inspiration to make that. And a C&D would mean no sequels. When if I bothered to make one game, at least one sequel would very much be something I'd be interested in. The obvious work around? I've been working on an entirely new project, currently still in the very very VERY infant stages. Like, literally the idea only came to me about around June of this year. Chushin will more or less become a “first draft” of what will eventually be my very own monster-catcher rpg world with a game to go along with it. Made up of mostly entirely new ideas, now consisting of my much more refined creature design style. I was initially gonna say that I wouldn't reuse ANY of the previous ideas from the Chushindex, but I decided I'll go ahead and keep the handful that I have a bigger attachment to. Some will get spiritual successors; the same idea but overhauled pretty hard, a good chunk of them will likely be scrapped entirely. A select handful I'm already considering just inserting into the new project as-is; since I already think they're solid creature ideas.

Like I said though, I've not even started on the game itself yet. All I got right now is ideas to eventually implement once I better teach myself how to game-make. I do have a good idea on the direction I want to take the project, but it's quite likely gonna change as I figure most stuff out. It'll probably even be a few years before I ever bring it up again to be honest. (Though I am thinking of starting a game dev blog once I get the bigger picture in motion.)

...But what's this mean for Chushin then? Well...

It's still going to get finished. But its scope is getting dialed back a ton. And not too long after the new year starts, I'm gonna B-line for getting things wrapped up.

-There's simply far too many Chushinmon that, full admittance, are rather half-baked simply because I approached monster design differently back when I first came up with them. And I was going to make it a huge push to redesign all the ones I felt dissatisfied with. But I'm putting a cap on this here and now. No more redesigning. That's what this new project is for.

-While of course I'll make an effort to better my older, or outdated ideas, that's not gonna be a sole focus anymore. If I just can't immediately come up with anything better, I'm gonna prioritized “finished” over “perfected.” Again, that's what the new project is for.

-No more human characters. I was gonna make a huge cast, but again. At this point I'd rather redirect that effort toward the new project.

-No more Megas. If I ever feel like making fake-Mega forms, I'll just do them as regular drawings.

-There WILL be a small third-version-esque expansion once every Fakemon is done. But I'll keep that that entails a surprise.

Again, thanks for the patience, and I'm sorry if I've not met that expectation. This is just a project I would like to get finished before I get more serious about this new thing. I hope you all can look forward to this new project surfacing in the coming years!

Price scale varies on character complexity of course, mostly from little cartoon dudes to Pokemon and people to robots.

PLEASE READ BEFORE ASKING FOR A COMMISSION:
RULES:
-NO NSFW material.

-Please have an idea of what you want before you ask me. Being specific with what the character's doing and whatnot will help me a lot, and you're more likely to get what you payed for.

-Please tell me if you'd like your name to be anonymous when it's posted. Be default, I link back to the commissioner!

-Be respectful if I say certain subject material is outside of my comfort zone. I'm sorry if it inconveniences you that I can't draw the thing you want comfortably, but if I'm not comfortable while drawing it I can't promise it'll be good anyway.

-I'll provide WIPs of your commission in progress as I get them done. Once for the sketch, once for lineart and base colors, and one final time when it's done. This is mainly for you to point out any mistakes I may have made or minor details I may have missed out on. These'll be uploaded at full resolution into my sta.sh. BE SURE to save the full res pictures when you receive them! There's only so much sta.sh space so I'd theoretically have to clean it up at some point, meaning I delete older sta.sh uploads.

-Respect my wishes concerning on how the art should be shown. If I'm willing to draw what you asked for, but see the content as inappropriate for my gallery in any way, respect the fact that I may not want to upload it publicly.

-Concerning refunds, currently I will only do refunds if I have not actually started your commission as of yet. The only other case where I will do refunds is the event where I am somehow incapable of finishing your commission within a timely manor. In this case, I will ask you if you would mind the wait while my schedule clears up. If not, I will give a refund. This will usually only be the case if the commission is barely started.

-This is etiquette more than it is an outright rule but please, please, PLEASE don't harass me for progress on commissions. I can understand being excited to see it done but sending me frequent reminders doesn't help anything, and all it does is add pressure that doesn't need to be there in the first place, which more times than not negatively affects the quality of the end product because of said pressure to finish it at a pace quicker than I'm comfortable with. I can be busy some days, there's some days where I spend most of the day away from the computer and don't get to draw much. Chances are I got more commissions to work on than just yours. I can also just have a really rough day and all I really want to do when I get home is draw for myself. Things come up on a dime that have me have to abandon my plans for the day. If it's been 5 or more days without any direct contact, sure, but honestly any less than that would be pushing it. Just please be patient.

DO NOT SEND ME MONEY. I will state the price of the commission, and if the given price is fine, I WILL SEND YOU AN INVOICE ON PAYPAL.

-*-Notice-*-
Due to having work and college to worry about at the same time this semester, I'll be temporarily limiting the number of commissions I'll be taking at one time. One per person, and only two slots maximum. I will also be limiting commissions, in that there will only be two characters maximum allowed. This will go on probably until the beginning of 2018. Thanks for understanding!

I'm a bit burnt out on ideas so I guess I'll do one of these on here instead of just tumblr. I can't even think of a theme so I guess it'll be anything goes. Here are just a few rules I should probably make first.

>One drawing per person.
>Not mandatory but I'd prefer contact via note, please.
>I won't draw anything nsfw
>No more than two entities/people/etc
>Please note that these'll be doodles more than anything, so they'll probably just be sketches/linearts with base colors
>Please respect that I might not feel comfortable drawing certain requests.
>Anything of complex design will probably be simplified.
>If it's fandom-related, it might need discussion if it's a fandom/character I don't normally draw.
>And if I do manage to come up with an idea for my own drawing, then please be patient if I put priority of those over the requests.

Uh I guess that's it.
