Commission Inquiries:ghostmoth.commissions@gmail.com

July 2024 Commissions OPEN

hello everyone! happy tail end of pride month. I wanted to make another commission post to update some of my prices and feature some more recent artwork :) I'm also offering a few new things! Weapon designs will feature a full 360* turnaround of a weapon or item, and you can now get another sketch for a reduced rate, or a fully rendered background. It's also cheaper than ever to get your party portrait painted, at a flat rate of 75$ per character, no matter the base price. A fully rendered couples' portrait is now 225$!

I will be using the money raised to pay pretty much exclusively for food and rent. Even if you're unable to commission me right now, reblogs would be much appreciated so I can afford my groceries this month. There will be no limitations on the number of slots, since the workload hasn't made it historically necessary, but I would love for this to be the time I'm proven wrong.

Check the tag on my blog #ghost art for more examples of my work!

the standard rules apply: 1. Spicy content is okay, provided the commissioner and commissioned characters are both 18+. These will not be shared publicly!

2. I do not draw in a traditional furry style (obviously). That being said, I'm happy to draw anthros or mechanical designs, provided I have references to work with. I'm also happy to draw fanart!

3. No drawn references? no problem! a written description is perfectly fine. Just know that if there's a lot of back and forth about a particular design, I may have to charge more to make sure my time is adequately compensated. I may also ask for photo references, if needed.

4. Blood and minor Injury is okay. I do not draw excessive gore. I will not draw violence of any kind being done to children or to animals.

5. Commissioned art will be posted on my social media publicly, unless otherwise requested specifically by the commissioner.

Thank you for checking out my work :)

Video captions: And stop trying to show your ex what they missed out on! Stop trying to teach your family a lesson for not believing in you! Stop trying to shit on your haters! Do it for you! Do it because you deserve it! Do it for YOU! Water your dreams with love! Don’t put no hate and resentment, and try to — “oh Imma fucking show them, Imma show” — FUCK THEM! Fuck them, do it for you! They don’t matter! They NEVER mattered.

sorry boss can't come in today i was on my way to work and then a gentle spring breeze kissed my cheek and reminded me it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world

the mere sight of a man's midriff is enough to drive one to madness

too many people talking about skinny hairless abs-having white guys on this post. I need everyone to know this is not a post for skinny hairless abs-having white guys. put some meat and body hair on that thing and then we’ll talk

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

I don't want my cellphone to have AI I want it to have 3 days of battery time. I don't want my computer to have AI preinstalled I want it to have seven usb ports and high ram at affordable price. I don't want my games to have AI built levels I want them to be so optimized I could run them on a nokia.

Anyone reposting that OpenAI Studio Ghibli shit - even to dunk on it - should be killed with hammers.

“I loved Princess Mononoke and its environmental messaging. Can’t wait to grow up and become an AI prompt artist!”

Hammers. A billion of them.

Hayao Miyazaki is famous for being shown AI monster crawling along the floor and saying the following:

“Every morning, not in recent days, I see my friend who has a disability, it’s so hard for him just to do a high five; his arm with stiff muscle can’t reach out to my hand. Now, thinking of him, I can’t watch this stuff and find it interested. Whoever creates this stuff has no idea what pain is.

I am utterly disgusted. If you really want to make creepy stuff, you can go ahead and do it, but I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.”

Didn't Brando Sando release another book recently?

I don't think it's a chicken/egg question. Once publishing hit 50/50 for male/female authors, and especially once YA got the triple hit of HP/Twilight/Hunger Games (all written by women), reading started becoming fem-coded and so men and boys stopped reading. So the market went to the readers who stuck around.

It's just sexism.

obviously this is all rooted in sexism but women (particularly middle and upper middle class bourgeois women who actually have the time and the means to read) have always been the primary consumers of fiction, despite what most people would like to think.

Yeah this is literally a big part of the novel Northanger Abbey, written 222 years ago in 1803. Men look down on girls and women for enjoying novels and think they should read "better" books. Here is the dick character in the book (emphasis mine):

“Have you ever read Udolpho, Mr. Thorpe?” “Udolpho! Oh, Lord! Not I; I never read novels; I have something else to do.” Catherine, humbled and ashamed, was going to apologize for her question, but he prevented her by saying, “Novels are all so full of nonsense and stuff; there has not been a tolerably decent one come out since Tom Jones, except The Monk; I read that t’other day; but as for all the others, they are the stupidest things in creation.”

And by contrast, here is the hero character in the book:

"...But you never read novels, I dare say?” [said Catherine] “Why not?” “Because they are not clever enough for you—gentlemen read better books.” “The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid. ...” ... “I am very glad to hear it indeed, and now I shall never be ashamed of liking Udolpho myself. But I really thought before, young men despised novels amazingly.” “It is amazingly; it may well suggest amazement if they do—for they read nearly as many as women. I myself have read hundreds and hundreds. ...”

So yeah, men being pretentious dicks about what women like to read, and often secretly hypocritical about it, is not new.

The fact of the matter is that publishing is a business. They simply care about money. So if men are going to mock and refuse to read entire genres of books, as they've been doing for centuries, then publishers are going to target books to the people who actually want to read them: women. Because money.

Life-changing OCD hack is learning that you can literally call poison control to check if you fucked up and took medications wrong in a way that could kill you instead of having a panic attack while reading reddit and quora threads for an hour. They won't even be mad at you. Like obviously don't do it every day or something but genuinely you can do this if you need to

as people turn more and more towards the internet as a first choice for information, poison control (which has rebranded as poison help? i think?) is seeing fewer and fewer callers

part of this is because the USAmerican birth rates have slowed, and the number 1 culprit for why you'd call poison control is kids under 5 put shit in their mouths all the time

but part of it is BECAUSE people are turning to the internet first

and you don't have to! poison control is FREE and available in EVERY US STATE AND TERRITORY

they are staffed 24/7 365 days a year! they do everything they can to minimize wait times and they have an ENORMOUS database of medications, household cleaners, chemicals, pesticides, and MORE! and not only information on JUST those things, but how they interact with other things! they can even give you advice on if your pet ingests something they shouldn't!

but poison control isn't federally funded! they're a frankenstein mishmash of state funded, federally funded, and a couple of other weird ones (like organizations helping with funding) just for flavor. poison control NEEDS you to be politically aware. keep a finger on local and state politics; if your state is voting to shut down their poison control center, make sure your reps hear about how pissed you are!

poison control saves lives, but even more than that, it keeps people out of emergency rooms and walk-ins when they don't have to be. when Louisiana closed its PCC in 1988, people who called the PCC hotline were instructed to call their local hospital instead. the number of medically-treated poisonings rose by 42%...meaning ERs and walk-ins were flooded with people who'd taken, say, one extra pill of ibuprofen by accident, or got a bit of rubbing alcohol in their mouth, or got their dog's flea medicine on their skin. stuff that was SCARY, sure...but wouldn't have needed medical care at all if there had just been someone to tell those people you can just wash your mouth out, or wash your skin, or refrain from taking any more ibuprofen for at least 24 hours!

anyway help ur local PCC, put the pressure on your political reps, and if you ever have questions like "hypothetically what would happen if you inhaled iodine," you can call 1 800 222 1222 and speak with a real live reassuring person any time day or night!
