Hey there, I'm Atlas!

Freelance creator, student, fanatic for all things storytelling, and a hoarder of little guys. Exploring the darkest depths of nature with a little bit of light.

What's Happening?!

Welcome to the world my baby boy. My pride and joy.

    Just a guy with a pen

    Storytelling has captivated me since I was young, and the use of visual mediums to weave these tales is what I ultimately aspire to do effectively. From humble beginnings of drawing comics of potato people and writing about an orphaned wolf pup with fire abilities and aimless anger issues, to the full-blown illustrations and elaborate plotlines about trauma and healing that I do today, I find myself frequently in daydreams about the next plot point and where to take it.

    More Specifics here!

    T.O.S

    • Payment is done upfront before the commission is started. I’ll be sending wips throughout the process (Sketch, lines, flat colors, etc.) or if there is something I need clarification on. (Say, something with the character's design.)

    • Refunds are only available if; A, the first wip has not been sent in; or B, the commission has taken longer than 2 months without notice. This time frame may shift depending on the complexity of the order.

    • Depending on the details of the commission as well as any stark shifts in its completion, (such as a large edit further into the process) additional charges may apply. Pricing will provide further details, and I will always be upfront on any extra costs.

    • Politely, you may ask about the progress of the commission on occasion, but please be considerate! I am only one artist with limited time throughout the day.

    • Detailed descriptions and any references you can provide are GREATLY appreciated!

    • Once the commission is received, you may repost and reuse it however you’d like as long as; A, it falls under non-commercial use; B, credit is given where credit is due! (I'll be posting most comms to my own platforms as well.)

    • Once the total commission slots have been used up for that period, they will be closed until I have knocked down the current queue and can start them up again with a clean slate! Upon request, I'm willing to add you to a ping list on respective platforms for when they go up again, and you may also ask to be removed from this list at any time.

    • Working with a deadline is case-by-case. Hard, last-minute deadlines will cost extra fees or result in me turning down the commission entirely as it messes with my queue.

    Will do

    • Most feral animals

    • Anthros

    • Gore/Violence (Nothing too heavy!)

    Won't Do

    • Humans/Humanoids

    • Mecha

    • NSFW (Soft things like Cuddling or light kissing I am willing to do, however!)

    • Hateful imagery (ex. attacks towards a person/groups of people, mocking of cultures, etc. If it’s intended to put down any real-life person/people, I am ignoring the request completely and you will be put on a blacklist depending on the severity.)

    • Politics

    • IRL Shipping (If said ship is not an actual couple IRL)

    • If there is something you are curious about that is not listed here, feel free to inquire about it!

    • I reserve the right to turn down any request if it is not something I am comfortable with creating. Harassment over such will only get you blacklisted.

    • Tell me your favorite plant or flower!

    For payment, this can be done through Paypal directly! For updates on the order and eventually the finished product, there are a couple options for communication as well:

    • Instagram DMs

    • Email

    As for the forum itself, please fill it out on this Google Form! Emails are not collected outside any given for contact reasons, and even if they were I probably would forget them in a day.

    Once the commission is complete, the file will be sent through the chosen communication method as well as a link via google drive in cases of quality distortion. The latter version will be unwatermarked.For designs, there are a few specific guidelines I ask that be followed. Albeit, they are mostly common-sense rules!

    • Should you use the design, please do not claim it as your own creation. I do ask that proper credit is given at least once, especially on character references.

    • That being said, once you have acquired the design, it is yours to play with! Use it anywhere, tweak it how you like, give it away or resell it if you wish.

    • If reselling the design, especially if left unedited, please do not price it for more than you bought it for.

    Specifics

    Additional Charges may apply to, but are not limited to, the following:

    • Complex designs (See Below)

    • The character you want to be drawn has no clear reference, if at all (Excluding Customs for obvious reasons)

    • Complex Compositions

    • Extras (See Below)

    • Excessive edits/revisions (As this lengthens the time and effort I would have to put into the commission.)

    If you have any questions or concerns about such, we can always discuss beforehand!

    What falls under 'Complex Design'?

    These rules may or may not apply in certain cases, due to my own assessment of the design. For the most part, however, what will require an additional charge consists of, but is not limited to, the following:

    • Detailed markings

    • Anatomy Details (Like Intricate horn designs, for example!)

    • Detailed clothing/accessories

    • Armor

    • Weapons

    • Wings

    What falls under 'Extras'?

    'Extras' are an umbrella for additional elements that otherwise would not normally be included in the commission, specifically regarding 'simpler' types like Chibis, References and some Flexibles. What would require the additional charge may consist of, but is not limited to, the following:

    • One-Off Objects (Ex. character sitting in a box, holding an orb or throwing a spear.)

    • 'Pseudo-Background' elements. (Ex. Logs, Rocks, etc.)

    • Small Creatures (Like rodents, insects, or fish, for example. Larger creatures will fall under 'Additional Character' due to the additional detail.)

    • Elemental Effects

    Do not go in the deep

    When the earth was swallowed whole | A Clangen Comic is an experimental comic series that follows Torrentclan, a group of survivors in the wake of a flooded apocalypse.WESW | CC is loosely based off the series Warrior Cats by Erin Hunter, as well as based on the events of a run of Clangen, a fan-game based off the same series. I do not have full control over the events in the comic. Characters will die and plot holes may happen, and part of this experiment is connecting those pieces into something meaningful.
