Allow me to finally introduce myself after all these years with a proper “meet the artist” thing😩
Hi! I’m Philly! I draw and paint and write and knit and the views expressed here are my own and do not reflect my employer!!
I use procreate and my brain and I scream and make art! I love SDV and Dragon Age and I also love doing landscape painting! <3
~My asks are always open for requests, or for hate! whatever! ~ I do commissions on a case by case basis! Just DM me if you are interested and we can chat and maybe work something out~ <3
Fun Fact about yourself? Hwaet! I took Old English as an elective in college, and I still have the first twenty or so lines of Beowulf memorized in Old English. I’m a nerd.
How long have you been writing fanfiction? My fanfiction journey began in high school, so I’ve been writing on and off for almost twenty years. A friend and I used to write Fall Out Boy RPF in the back of class in a 5-subject notebook. Ah, the good ol’ days. I took a decade-long break, but I got the itch again in 2022, and that’s when I started my long fic, which is the first thing I ever posted on AO3.
Favourite SDV character to write? My favorite character to write by far is Shane because he’s so relatable to me. Shocking, I know. However, Harvey is a close second, which I did not expect when I first started writing him.
Favourite tropes/genre to write? Romance. All day. I enjoy writing breakups, first kisses, love triangles, friends to lovers, she fell first/he fell harder, grumpy/sunshine, slice of life, and second chances.
Your most popular SDV fanfic?Affliction, Bliss, and A Second First Kiss is my most popular by a mile, and I’m eternally grateful for that. There is blood, sweat, and a whole sea full of tears in that fic.
Your SDV underdog fic you wish more people would give a chance? Supernatural Delight. It’s a silly crack fic in which Shane gets eaten by vampire!Abby, and not in the fun way. It’s horror meets comedy, and the ending makes me laugh every time I think about it.
Hear me out: Shane/Emily. It’s grumpy/sunshine when it boils down to it, and I think they are so cute together. The quirky, weird girl melts the town grump’s heart? UGH!
Lastly, any other fandoms you write for? I wrote a smutty little one shot for ACOTAR, and I have a few more in the works. Will I ever post them? Maybe.
We are very lucky to have someone as talented as Ursula as one of our number. If you check out her fics, please be sure to kudos and comment to show your support for small artists and writers.
If you write Stardew Valley fanfiction and would like to join our guild, please message this blog for an invite!
I am opening up character reference sheet commissions! 🎉🎉
Hi all! A little reluctant to call these emergency commissions as I will, realistically, be alright and it’s not anything with a hard deadline/time requirement. However, I will not be able to work until the end of July as I’ll be taking care of my mom post-surgery, and so I just want to make sure I am prepped with funds going into that!
A base reference sheet is $50 (this comes with one fullbody drawing of a character + color palette pickers + any information you would like added to the sheet!)
Any requested bonus art/graphics on the sheet will be an extra $20-$30 depending on complexity!
Any changes to layouts/information will be free—please just come in prepared with what you have in mind!
Some Notes:
Please be prepared for a longer wait time. Usually my work period is about 2-3 weeks, but I am in college! And am so busy! So finished commissions might take around a month to complete. I will try and keep everybody updated and please feel free to reach out after those initial 2 weeks to check in!
Payment is expected up front AFTER we have discussed and confirmed what you are getting. If you already have my kofi, do NOT send in money before we have spoken. Payment will be done through kofi (though if that is an issue let me know and we can discuss an alternative)
I will not draw non-humanoid characters, nor will I draw any characters with incredibly complex outfits/designs. If you are unsure if your character fits those bills, please feel free to ask!
I will send you base sketch of the drawing plus layout and then the piece with lineart and flat colors. At both stages you may request edits. Once we move past lineart/flat color stage, you may not request any more big edits to the design! Edits to layout are still acceptable though.
If you are interested in a commission, please message me here on tumblr! You may also contact me through discord @mysteryfish_
