# 👋 Welcomed Commissioning ThemesWe have a nice little starter list of a few common themes we enjoy doing. This is not an exhaustive list but it's meant to give an idea of some themes I genuinely enjoy working with. If you as a client (commissioner) do not have a solid idea, you are always more than welcome to pick a theme here!🖊️ This list is primarily for our Sweet and Simple (S&S) style, but we are open to our Standard as well.1. Coffee / tea or hot cozy drinks2. Harnesses / muzzles or reigns3. Drool / blood like substances or slime4. Aggressive / manic / crazy expression and Mawshots especially if there's sharp teeth!5. Weird or unique species / monsters (canine and laggomorph hybrids exempt.)6. Hypno eyes7. Bones / decay / nature and bugs!8. OCCULT! anything witchy or related to the occult9. HALLOWEEN even off season!10. Candy gore / Light goreDo keep in mind I am a SFW artist. I don't shy away from mature themes (clearly.) So suggestive stuff is totally okay. Even some artistic nudity or pin-ups within reason.

- Color palettes that clash or I personally don't enjoy
- Style specific designs (like anime or kemono, anything that might be hard to interpret in both my styles)---Additional notes- I have a hard time with designs that are asymmetric, especially if the patterns are direction dependent (left/ right) it just means I need more help and patience.- I enjoy drawing accessories like jewelry/ chains and clothing to some extend, I don't have much practice with clothes but I'm always interested in practicing it more- I don't have much experience with drawing mech but I am interested in diving into it, I have a personal preference towards futuristic looking tech than steam punk, but hey practice is practice!- I haven't drawn many background but I am always happy to try to practice that more, I love organic/ nature leaning BG over cityscapes, I like drawing different types of weathers too- I love playing with materials, rocks, metals, liquids, gems, slime you name it I'll probably enjoy trying to figure out how to draw it- If I'm allowed to experiment with my style, whether its rendering style or straight up trying a new style all together, I'll be happy to be given that freedom!- I can do non-furry species too! Not great at straight up humans, but humanoids or species based on plants or objects are always fun for me to play with!- I like having themes or vibes to guide me in my craft, palettes, images or mood boards are always appreciated!
