Description
ALL complete 10/22/2016 Thank you everyone! 
Edit Update 10/8/2016
Halloween is coming! Small update again, both of my kids got sick with strep throat, the oldest had to miss school so I'm behind this week on commissions. I feel like I caught it too, but I think my immune system is fighting it off. ALL commissions will be complete before I work on Galaxy Magnolia again, and it's looking like I possibly might open commissions up again still in November or December. Just a few more on this batch to complete, thank you to all those who are waiting
! I will try really hard to submit a Galaxy Magnolia Halloween themed piece in time for Halloween, but depends entirely on the completion of all commissions 
. End edit.
Hi everyone, small update. I'm working hard to try and finish up most if not all of what remains of commission work for everyone listed by the end of this month of September, or early October. My eldest child brings home five sheets of homework every week, and has a spelling test coming up next week. So just a bit slower as I help her adjust to her new year of school
. I MAY be opening up Commissions again in December. MAYBE. Thank you to everyone left on the list who is waiting 
! You can see the current status of commissions listed below. End edit.
Edit 3: Commission status updated below.
Edit 2: Commissions are closed until I finish this batch! If you still would like a spot and are not on hold, please check back later! I won't accept further payments until the ones that are already paid for are complete
. ALL will be completed in a timely matter. Thank you so much everyone for helping me out! . Edit: Howdy! My husband is working part time at another restaurant until the sushi restuarant re-opens up after fire damage repairs. There's an estimation the repairs might take until late October. In the meanwhile, since he is also now working part time, I'm closing any further commissions for now as I complete those of which have been paid for. I can take three more to those interested and just add those to the list. With my youngest who is high energy and refuses naps, I'm finding it difficult to work except very late night (like now lol) unless my husband is home to help with the littles. So here is the current commission list lineup, and they will all be finished within a timely matter, just a little slower for the time being. Thank you!
They will be completed in the order listed from top to bottom. 100% complete

Hi everyone, I'm opening some emergency commissions right now, please just comment to claim or message me on Instagram at photobombed_by_cats
www.instagram.com/photobombed_…
as my DA private message center has over 142 unread messages, and it gets overwhelming for me to even think about checking it. I don't know why, I'm very sorry, it's been this way since I opened a DA account 10 something years ago. Please link between one and three references of your character in the comment, or within the Instagram message. There are no commission limits at this time, I will do my best to finish one a day, if not more, they will ALL be finished in a timely matter. I have two little kids, 12 cats and a mortgage to pay. Husband was nearly killed in an explosion and cannot return to work right now until we know more of what is going on with his work place. The explosion was so bad that it melted stainless steel. My husband is okay physically, he was burned a bit on the leg from the fire but nothing serious. I'm just so grateful this didn't turn out worse because it could have.
For anyone also wondering about the next page of Galaxy Magnolia, I am still working on it but there are like 100 something characters that I'm filling out on the double page (splash page) and so with so many cameos and characters to fill in, it's taking a while! The page will also be placed on hold, and I will work on it when I can, because commissions will come first! Thank you everyone for understanding, who is waiting to read the comic, I really appreciate it
. Ruga and Nim belong to me, and are characters from my comic, Galaxy Magnolia -

I've been seeing this every time you edit it and it's been tempting me so much to pay for a commission. When it's opened again, I would love to get a spot. No need to rush or anything. ^_^ I'm perfectly fine with waiting. Just let me know if you decide to open them again. I would love to see you draw my character Aldebaran.

Hi! I am currently closed, but I may open again after I get through the list. It's looking like I will be able to get back to work on Galaxy Magnolia once I am through the list, so if I can fit commissions in with GM, I will see what I can do
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay! can't wait to commission you at some point! XD

Are there any slots left? I'd love it if you could draw two of my alien ocs, if you have a slot available. : o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes! You would be the last one for now until I can open more. I would be happy to draw for you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh sweet, thank you!
I was hoping you'd be able to draw my twin alien characters
Their combined design is a bit on the complicated side, so if you can't draw them I have another simpler character I can offer up for you to draw. c:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes I can draws them for you! You can send payment to mariachy_sky @hotmail.com (space before the @ removed) and I will add you to the list!

Alright, payment sent. Let me know if I gave the right amount!

sta.sh/252bar81f79?edit=1 Here they are! Thank you for waiting, I have really appreciated it 
And -
I would be very interested in knowing how you do this process, I FREAKING LOVE IT 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
THOSE COLORS. OMG. And you got their personalities and their friendship down so perfectly! And I also really love those mushroom-looking details as well. Omg. Thank you so much, these two are my favorite to draw as well.
I'm totally surprised at the rest of this reply AHA-
And I could definitely try and work on some kind of visual tutorial on how I sketch and color my art, as the bottom piece is the process I used for the ref sheet, only a bit more improved on.
I'm so flattered that you like my process and my silly twins, aahafhfkg. I'll let you know when I finish working on the tutorial~

Ah omg thank you ;___;

I'd love to buy a second two characters slot from you if there is still a chance. ^^
And if I can think just a bit more about what we want. Please ? XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes for sure, thank you very much
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeay ! Why no, thank you to you for the chance to get awesome art from you again ! (Even if we already do everytime you add some Magnolia art related on your gallery 
I'm so happy to hear it and even more now that I know that we'll make you draw them again. ^__^ Better for an artist to have fun with their subjects of work !
Payment sent already. Same as last time, let me know if there is a problem with it ! We're just discussing a bit more about the scene/theme with Flutter but we won't be long to send the infos to you. ^^
Oh and, thank you so much for the watch ! That's such an honor ! o_o

Thank you!

Hi again ! Sorry for being so long. >_< But we finally agreed on some idea. Of course, you'll be the one to decide if you feel like drawing it or not !
Here are the infos ^^ :
* Characters : Arya and Clever again little-shewolf9.deviantart.com… (Best pics done for them fav.me/d9sovaa ; fav.me/d748act and now also
* For the scene : As time passed, Clever developped stronger feelings towards Arya then love, true consumming and painful love. Because, due to his trauma, he's most of the time terrified to stand too close of Arya. But Arya loves him too and she has learnt to be very patient with him. So, what about a scene with Clever trying his best to fight against his old demons to simply be able to move on, come closer and touch her ? While Arya would simply be standing without moving a single finger, only encouraging him by a warm comprehensive and quiet smile.
* Important infos about the characters : Arya is mute from birth and Clever is terribly afraid by women due to an old trauma caused by girls.
Does it sound a bit over-complicated in the end ? ^^'
If that's the case, just let me know and we'll come up with some new idea easier for you to work on !
Oh and, one last thing ! We realized that Clever's nose should have less pink/red at the end of it. XD

Thank you for waiting! I am working on your second commission now as of today. I had quite a list to get through
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No need to apologize, you're giving us plenty of updates so we can perfectly answer and follow your work schedule.
And no matter the wait, I know the outcome is always worthy ! ^^

Wow Madame, you got me stucked on that one ! The attitudes, expressions and gestures, such right words and text that fit the characters and scene wonderfully and that bonus mood song fitting perfectly too. You couldn't make it any better ! You nailed them, and all what we wanted to say and express on that scene, every detail. I just... don't know what to say, you already said it with the perfect words ! XD I'm so so so happy with the outcome !
So does (Arya's "daddy" XD ) of course. Scene is so tense and so touching at the same time, the perfect speechless scene, because no need of words on here, we had in mind. I can feel them ! The feelings and emotions ! >o<
Then we have to thank you again and again for this new piece of art and illustration of our "babies", thank you so much dear ! You ARE a very talented artist but very good at catching and understanding characters' personalities to make them look so expressive (or unexpressive if it's fitting their personality XD ), I guess that's why I fell in love with your comic at first sight. So much feelings in your drawings and characters <3
Alright all this to say again : I love it ! <3
I so hope to be able to commission you another piece one day. But until then, Happy Halloween to come ! (Take all your time to draw some Nim and Ruga Halloween illustration, but, please, draw one ? *_* )
And feel all the love and gratefulness from both of us !

Thank you again so much

For feeling so bad for not answering you sooner I HAD to tell you : HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
May your imagination and talent astound and delight us for one fabulous year again !
And, more important, some of your dreams come true and everything just go well for you and your family !
Thank you for being the artist you are !

I would love to claim a spot
But I had a unique question if you were interested in this~!
How are you about aiding in the design of a character?
For example; there's a design made however it doesn't have a complete design
Would you be interested in taking something like that on?
Because I had an idea about maybe seeing what your creative mind would come up with
by mixing up some aspects of his old design into his new and alter it in your own creative way
I utterly adore the way you design characters and creatures; and I'd be so very honored
NEW Design:
OLD Design:
Mature Content
Basically looking for something fresh and new, something very different yet unique at the same time
I do not mind moderate to complex markings as it's fun for me to work with!
Maybe the addition of some brighter colors to enhance his appearance as well.
I'm willing to pay $30 for the additional time put into doing this if it's agree'd upon ^^'
I adore your work and have been dying to commission you again
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh my gosh... I don't even know what to say, I can't believe you want me to help with his new design!!
...
..
Now that I've calmed down XD, YES! I would love to help with the design work! I promise to do my best not to disappoint
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yess thank you SO MUCH >v<
I sent you an email of design instructions and keywords / personality bits to help~
I also sent you $30 to your paypal~
He's very important to me and this is the biggest change I wanted to do but I wanted to commission an artist to help me with it~
I instantly remembered you because I've adored your designs and I knew you'd do superbly!
I don't think you'd disappoint in the slightest~! Take your time~ I'm very patient~

It was well worth the wait so no worries~ Aaaaaa!

Sketching now, I have most of his frontal view sketched out now and will soon have the back. His bulky anatomy is so fun to work with, very challenging and I always need a good challenge

Yeeee!! So excitedd!! <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do you have any specifications regarding new scars or piercings etc? I can also leave those blank as well and you can plan them out as you like, since right now he's basically a new canvas XD. For the tail, that's the other part that I'm also planning carefully because it was mentioned in the instructions as being very, very specific
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm I'd say surprise me on piercings maybe ovo
Also is it possible to make his left arm be a sleek cybernetic arm but baring the markings on that arm like his other arm? I had the idea and forgot to toss it to you~
He's going to / supposed to have a cybernetic arm rather than the weird giant shoulder scar. XD
I'm really pumped cuz your designs are so amazing !!

sta.sh/227g9izgs9f6 - Goood afternoon
-The tribal markings patterns on his right arm match the different colors of metal in his cybernetic arm, you requested that the tribal patterns match on both arms, so let me know if this works
-I kept a lot of his own design but changed most of the pattern styles to match the tribal markings
-Tiger stripes as requested.
- Facial piercings are white spikes, one gage in his lower lip.
-White eye patches above eyebrows.
-I left scars off so that you can decide specifically for your world building.
- As requested, top side of his tail is colorful, bottom side more dull, feathers. I researched a few pages of bird feathers to understand feather function and find ones that I thought would work well with a tail that could potentially be used as a weapon. Bird feathers are amazingly diverse *__*b!!
Let me know if he's too complex, over all, this was the biggest challenge I've worked with for a long time and I felt totally inspired and pulled an all nighter with his frontal view XD. Once I Have your approval, I'd to submit him to DA if that's okay! Let me know I need to make any edits
