I love my work as an illustrator. I also love my work as a pet-sitter. I absolutely love it when my two jobs collide.
This is a pencil portrait I drew for a pet-sit client.
Pet portraits can be commissioned through my Etsy store, click the link below to order yours (hurry spots are limited)
From time to time I’m commissioned to paint portraits of people as chickens. This is a high school choir. I’m just laying down basic shapes and colors. #wip#commission#acrylicpainting#mastoart
Count Regal Inkwell, the Lord Inquisitor, favoured by the Princess, leaned in for the kiss. For all the rewards which power netted him, it always came with equal if not greater amounts of stress: So much to worry about, so much to fear, so much at stake every day.
This was meant to be his comfort from the stresses of life, to be in the embrace of Mr. Fluffy Pillow, his Majordomo, the highest-ranking servant of his household, and his beloved, his precious, sweet fluffy boy.
And still, the noble worried. Always. He often joked that he wouldn't be himself if he didn't worry.
It wasn't that he couldn't have the pegasus:
Few would deny a powerful stallion such as him anything, let alone some common-born pegasus. It wasn't that he was a married stallion seeking comfort in the embrace of his servant, he was naught if not a dutiful husband, and his wife knew and did not mind the time he spent with the pegasus.
Rather, what worried him at times like these, always, was quite the opposite:
How aware he was of the gulf there was between himself and the winged servant. In power, in age, in all things. It had been years, and still every night did he wonder if one day the other horseshoe would drop, if he'd find out the pegasus was merely following orders, doing his job in spite of himself. — He very genuinely loved the servant and wanted to see him happy. He would never, ever, forgive himself if it came to light that his beloved had given himself to him out of duty, and that he had essentially been forcing himself on the pegasus.
Still they kissed, even as the little pony in the lord-inquisitor's head reprimanded him for this great impropriety. Still they embraced in their secret little rendezvous.
Fluffy, for his part, thought of nothing, and worried about nothing: His master was a great stallion, as lovely on the inside as he was outside. He took great joy and pride in serving a stallion such as Lord Inkwell, and considered himself the luckiest colt alive, that he was also the target of his glorious liege's affections
Dear fine people of #mastoart is anyone interested in a small #commission to help me replace this design for my stream announcement "collectible" cards? Make it a bit more my own?
All the elements I'd like are in this example, I'd just enjoy something a bit more aligned with what I do anyway.
I'll be upfront on the budget, I'm thinking something between 50-75€ or so for something modular like this that I can adjust and reuse.
