Chocolat Shepherd

Chocolat is transformed into a male german shepherd by an unknown villain!

This is a character from an anime (KiraKira Pretty Cure a La Mode) I haven't seen before - but I'm generally down to draw characters I'm not familiar with as long as either the story is simple/I don't have to write dialog for them, or the script is written by the client :)

Pink Elephants, Court Cow, and Lindsay's Midterm

It's SCANNING DAY Ya'll!
More accurately, last night turned into "just one more step" in the whole scanning process until the next thing I knew the sun was coming up but I'd finished my goal for today by 7am lol.

This is also the official first batch of the new round of commissions!

SO! First up - the three mini-sequences and continuations:

- Pink Elephants on the Stage: 2 new pages!
- Court Cow - 2 inserts!
Linday's Midterm - in the Lesson series, Lindsay reflects on three changes for his midterm

EDIT: Commissions now Closed

EDIT - as of 6:25, commission slots are now closed :)
even if I haven't responded to your email yet, your slot is assured if you got me an email before 6:26
I'll be working the next few days with all responses and scheduling - keep an eye on my worklist the next few days to get a tease of the sequences I'll be owrking on over the next few months :)

****
I will edit this post when they close - but every email that gets to me before I've edited the post, whether or not I've had time to respond yet, will be accepted.

Don't panic if I don't respond to you immediately - it may take me the rest of the night, possibly into tomorrow to respond to everyone (hopefully not, but saying that just in case).



What To Send: When you send an email to araniaartist@gmail.com (not before July 11), include at least the following: 

Name:
Email:
Scope of the project:

   - (how many pages (can be approximate),
   - pencil, inked or colored,
   - how many characters, and if multiple characters, are they present on all pages?


 Paying all at once or in batches?  
    - If in batches, do you have a basic budget for your first payment? 
(Note: First batch must be at least 1/3 of the total commission)

IDEALLY: Send me the full write-up/details/references of the commission with your initial email, but at the minimum, let me know the above information separately/at the top of the email as well.  If I haven't closed yet, I will reserve you a spot, but I only add people to my worklist after I've received payment (and I add people to the list in the approximate order I receive the payment). 

My Response: I expect to take on an onslaught of emails, and it may take me 2 days or more to respond to your initial inquiry. I will not begin to respond to any emails at all until slots close. SO: as long as you sent me an email before my slots closed (I will post a time stamp here on the page when they close) then you can assume you got a spot in my reservation list even if you have not heard back from me yet.
As a note, last year when I opened commissions, slots were only open for about an hour and I took on four months worth of work.
I also plan on setting email "work hours" for my own sanity between noon and 10pm CST.

Payment:  Once I confirm your slot and/or give you a quote, you may send payment (for at least the first 1/3 of the commission total if working in batches). *
Payment must be received by July 18 (1 week after commissions open) at latest, or else your reservation on my list will be forfeit. 

Other Details:

- if you already are commissioning a long-running ongoing sequence with me that is not already paid in full by the time these slots open, please sit this opening out. You can continue to pay on that sequence as usual, however :)
- one sequence maximum per person.  (If you are interested in a limited number of non-sequence pieces of art instead, that's also fine). 
- If you want a ballpark of the pricing before you send me the sequence for a quote, check out my Commission Pricing Page: http://arania.kamiki.net/commission/pricing/
- The quote will be good for until the commission is paid to completion, or one year from the first payment, whichever happens first.

*If you're not sure how long you want the sequence to be as a whole and instead plan on giving me a basic outline and pay for it in batches I can "spend" at my discretion - email me and we'll figure out a reasonable minimum first payment.  However, I'm trying to discourage the incredibly long sequences with comparably slow payment plans that take literal years to complete this opening, because they lead to increasingly long wait times between openings.

* Note 2: if you're paying in batches, the amount you pay will cover the correlating amount of the sequence. if you pay for 1/3, I will draw the first 1/3 until I receive payment for the next batch.

July Donation Art: Eloise SKull Hunter: MAMMOTH

Thank you to all my $10+ donators! 

It’s these contributions that really make doing what I do possible.

This donation artwork will be available for download until the end of the month AFTER the one in the title :)

Also, this donation artwork will never be publicly posted as thanks to those people who have supported me and my artwork. It probably goes without saying, but I do request that no one distribute this art for the obvious reasons. 

Previous months' donation artwork will be available through itchio or my website as normal.

ALSO, since you are one of my "Lesson Students" (aka, $10+ contributors), YOU GET TO HELP ME DECIDE WHAT TO DO FOR FUTURE DONATION ART SEQUENCES!

Also! thanks for being a $10+ patreon member - you are welcome to post a suggestion for future months' donation art ideas as a comment on this post!

Disclaimer that suggestions may be tweaked (as these are requests and not commissions), and while there is no guarantee I will use all suggestions, I DO consider all suggestions, and keep a list of them to consider for months to come!

Community Funded Sequences for July: Equus & Captured Barn

It's SCANNING day, ya'll! over 30 new pages today AND officially the last batch of art finished up before I open commissions on Friday!

I have now officially completed every project that I've been paid for and I have one whole day off before I reopen ;)
( I will probably take a couple of days off before I start work on new projects - I typically try to budget a week off between finishing old work and starting new, but I cut it a bit tight this time around).

So first off - enjoy 3 new pages of both Equus (which is very near the end) and Captured Barn! Equus still has a bit of credit left for next time, but not enough for a whole new page.

Demi Gator

So - last but not least for my big scan batch today: I'm surprised that this last commission batch someone requested a style of transformation I'd never actually heard of before: a "demi" transformation, where the skin and hair texture remains the same as the human form!

So here is a demi-alligator transformation!

Next Commission Openings

I am staaaarting to get to the point where the end is in sight as far as the last batch of commissions I took at the end of February, and am starting to make plans for my next opening :)

Since ya'll are on my patreon, I wanted to give you all a different extra opportunity this opening to test the waters to see how this offer goes:


INFO FOR NEXT COMMISSION OPENING:

SLOT OPENING TIME:  Friday July 11, 2025 / 4pm CST

However, since you are a Patreon Patron, I will offer you guys a special opportunity!

You can email me (at araniaartist@gmail.com ) the information for the commission you want at any point from July 2 - 7. I will read it over and give you a quote.

You may not send the payment until slots actually open (see above), and I add people to my worklist based on when I receive payment, however, if you send me the commission details, and get the quote, I will guarantee you a slot as long as you pay at least 1/3 of the total commission price within one week of the opening time*.  The quote will be good for until the commission is paid to completion, or one year from the first payment, whichever happens first.


In other words:
- send me an email with the commission details between July 2 - 7, 2025
- Send the first payment between July 11 - 18
- If I do not receive the first payment by July 18, then you'll have to wait till next commission opening.

In the FIRST email (July 2 - 7) , send me the full information for the commission, including any reference images if the commission requires them. Also let me know if you intend on paying for the commission in full in one batch, or if you intend on paying for it in batches.

Please don't send me info until July 2, because a lot can happen between now and then, and I want you to be certain both that you know what you want for sure and are prepared to purchase a commission at that point in time.  It also helps me with time management to have a set period of time to read through scripts and give out quotes. 

*If you're not sure how long you want the sequence to be as a whole and instead plan on giving me a basic outline and pay for it in batches I can "spend" at my discretion - email me and we'll figure out a reasonable minimum first payment.  However, I'm trying to discourage the incredibly long sequences with comparably slow payment plans that take literal years to complete this opening, because they lead to increasingly long wait times between openings and sequences that become permanent WIPs.

* Note 2: if you're paying in batches, the amount you pay will cover the correlating amount of the sequence. if you pay for 1/3, I will draw the first 1/3 until I receive payment for the next batch.

Other Details:
- if you already are commissioning an ongoing sequence with me that is not already paid in full by the time these slots open, please sit this opening out. You can continue to pay on that sequence as usual, however :)
- One sequence max per person this go-around.
- If you have multiple ideas you want me to choose between, please narrow it down to three at most. I will only do a full price quote/breakdown on one per person.
- If you want a ballpark of the pricing before you send me the sequence for a quote, check out my Commission Pricing Page:
http://arania.kamiki.net/commission/pricing/

If you have any questions about this in general, feel free to post a response here. This is a trial/test - if I get waaay overloaded with commissions this opening I may not do it like this again in the future, but we'll see how it goes :)
