COMMISSIONS ARE:

Open, but my tablet is broken so it will be a backlog.
I also have an upcoming surgery on my ankle that will slow things down once that takes place, I will update the site with that notice once it is applicable as that will change commissions to a backlog as well.

NOTICE: COMMISSIONS MAY BE SLOW - I AM DISABLED <3

Hello! I am NovaShrugs. I am a disabled, neurodivergent, non-binary artist who does art sometimes.Read my guidelines before asking for a commission!If interested in a commission, DM my Bluesky or Telegram after reading my guidelines.

I won't accept Discord friend requests at random but you may send a message if you share a server w/ me.

Unless you do not have a Discord, Discord is my primary way of communication after initial contact as it is the easiest for me.
Discord, Telegram, Tumblr, Bsky and Twitter: @NovaShrugs
If you would like to view my current backlog I can send you a screenshot of the Trello.

Art Pieces (Traditional)

$60A larger canvas will cost more and must be requested.They will take MUCH longer than normal commissions and will have to be mailed - you must be an adult to order these as I do not want to have a minor's address. Shipping is included in the costs unless international.
(I am unsure about international shipping at the moment due to the political climate in the states.)

Terms of Service/Guidelines

I accept Paypal, Cashapp or Ko-Fi.
NO NSFW PLEASE!!YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE MY WORK FOR GENERATIVE AI IN ANY SENSE.Please describe the commission and wait for me to respond. This is to make sure I can draw it and to calculate the prices.Feel free to ask how the commission is going! Just don't be rude about it, please.SFW references only, please! If you do not have a SFW reference, please censor it.PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give me an idea of what you would like drawn. Not just artistic liberty, I need inspiration. If possible, give real life poses, etc! Those would help greatly! Even if your pose or scene reference isn't well drawn, it helps a bunch!If you would like to tip, please let me know if you decide to do so, so that I do not worry that there was a mistake.Please pay at least partially up front, this is to prevent scams.
You have permission to post my work on other sites, but please credit me!Please note that it may take me a while to finish your commission as I may be busy, have other commissions, or be struggling with personal issues. It may take as little as an hour or up to a few days depending on the complexity and my schedule. I am neurodivergent, so it can be hard for me to focus for a long time.

I am also plural and have chronic pain which may impede wait times, but I will be transparent regarding this if it happens to become an issue. The current political climate in the states has been wearing on my psyche, causing this to be more of an issue than usual.I will also send a photo of the sketch once it is finished, as well as a colored photo before shading (if applicable) for approval to make sure I got everything right.

I may deny other requests if I believe I will not be able to draw them to a quality I am satisfied with unless you accept that it may not be up to par. This may change day by day due to mood swings as I am plural - please take this into consideration, thank you <3

If you don't see something on here, feel free to ask if I can draw it!

Frequently Asked Questions

"How long will my commission take?"
Anywhere from just an hour to a few days. It really depends on how cluttered my schedule is and other personal aspects of my life."Can you do ______?"
See my guidelines, or ask me if it isn't there!"Can you animate something for me?"
Animation takes an extremely long time for me and it's very hard for me to stay motivated. I am neurodivergent and get distracted easily. I can attempt pixel animation, but since I have not tried it yet, I do not know my skill level and will not offer it until I know my skills."Please give me something for free!"
why"Can you give me a higher quality file?"
Yes! I can send that via email or in a zip in discord."What are busts, headshots, half bodies, etc?"
Headshot - Head -> NeckBust - Head -> ShouldersHalf Body - Head -> Hips
