Bonus Intro

My name is Velvet, I go by TV for short. I work as a full-time coordinator, which is fancy speak for "I do a lot of admin work, both front and back-end." Which also means, a lot of boring stuff that makes people go "that's too much work."

I have a thing for organizing, and I can get very hyper focused on really small details. Combing over it, again and again until I feel satisfied- or burn out. 50/50 what comes first. So you can tell a lot of this work is also passion. It's rewarding to do even if it can take a good bit of my steam some days. Also could be faster if I used automation tools, or gave up and used some sort of fancy AI to do the work for me, but I wouldn't do that! I guess I just like the pain.

Skip to the bottom if you just want the TLDR: how to commission, and how to make my job easier.

Here is a general breakdown of my workflow. It looks like a lot because it is. All of this is done by hand, because I don't feel any desire to use automation tools, or AI. I'm content doing things the way I do them. Before getting into this, the text below follows the rules of todo.txt which is just a set of guidelines for plaintext productivity.

This takes me roughly ~2-3Hrs to make a complete post, for one single commission.

Also why I try to limit my posting to only one commission (client) per day or 24-48h intervals. Sometimes I can post multiple times in a day, but you can easily see why this takes a lot out of me, and why setting a limit is better.

Yes, there's more

Conditional Platforms: Toyhouse: (*Requires invite, or paid tokens.) This is mostly for adopts. If we get a commission through this platform, extra steps are taken to transfer the character or art to your account upon completion.; ~~Pixelfed Abandoned.~~; ~~Weasyl Abandoned.~~; ~~Pillowfort~~ (*Requires invite, or paid tokens.) Ultimately abandoned, for...a number of personal reasons.; *If a platform is not listed here, we don't have it, or use it anymore. This applies to Instagram, X, discord, etc.

The TLDR

Please follow this guideline to make both our jobs easier.

This is the main repo where I stash everything. - source
In that repo you can find; The public queue, previous journals, wiki (the tos, FAQ, policies, guides, etc)
Check out the main art site too (currently under construction) - source
Quick link to the commission stuff? - source
Or simply visit the Carrd if you prefer that. - source

Most of anywhere of ours will always point back to the wiki, as that's what's easist for me to manage and update as needed. When you commission with me, follow the guide and we'll be good to go. Should you have questions not in the guides, feel free to ask me and I'll do my best to help.

If you're looking for the full-res downloads...please go back to read the guides.
