A brazilian artist that likes to bring her hopes and dreams to life through art. ✦ Commissions are Open! https://vgen.co/duskianfae ✦ https://ko-fi.com/duskianfae
this was originally going to be for the current CSP contest, but I ended up deciding against it because I don't think the final result fits the theme very much.
this is also the second time i have drawn these mermaids, so i think it's time i make them my actual ocs.
i know the older one is named marina because it just fits her. but i have no idea what to call the younger one. any ideas?
If you want to support me and my art, please consider commissioning me over on v-gen or tipping me over on ko-fi!
If you want to hire me and does not want to use another platform for that, you can always dm me or hit me up over on discord (duskianfae) - I accept both Paypal and Wise!
Hello! I hate doing this, but I just looked at my bank account and things are ✨Bad✨
I was scammed by a "client" back in august and I was unable to recover from that. In fact, it got so bad that this month I hit the despair stage. I need to refill an expensive medication this month and also need to take my cat to the vet, but I don't have enough for either of that. I'm owing the bank around 6200 reais (as of March 6th, roughly 1273 USD) even after they took this month's salary, and all they granted me was 99 reais on my credit card.
So I'm here, on my knees, asking
Please, help me
There are two main ways you can do it:
Commission
I reduced my base prices for character art over at V-gen (https://vgen.co/duskianfae). Commissioning me over there would also help me finally get my profile verified, something I have been neglecting due to my own anxieties.
If you don't want to do it over there, you could also just DM me. I accept both Paypal and Wise.
You can check my art blog, @duskianfae, if you want a better notion of my art.
Tips
If you don't want or can't commission me but still wants to help, there is also ko-fi ( https://ko-fi.com/duskianfae ). Anything helps, really.
And if you can do neither, just reblogging this would be of great help.
Again, I wish I didn't have to do this. I'm so prideful I hate asking for help. But my monthly income has been unable to help, I only have two weeks of my medications left, my cat's nose is getting swollen, and all my attempts of getting commissions and freelance jobs the dignified way have failed.
So. Yeah. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for the attention 🙇
I usually save the rambles about my drawings to the tags, but this time I thought would be better to do under a Read More.
I will just start with this is not the goddess Persephone, though she is obviously named after her. She is a character from a drama/horror story that has been quietly growing in the back of my mind since 2021 and recently reached the point I cannot stop thinking about it.
I don't know how much is appropriate or even safe (thanks, ai scrapers) for me to talk about at this point . It is not a direct reinterpretation of the myth, though my feelings about it definetly oriented what I want the story to be about - sexual trauma, and all the pain, anger and resentment it brings.
Though I have grown to love horror as a genre, I also have little to no experience with it. Just look at my other drawings! I'm a gentle fantasy girlie! If I ever want to bring this project to life, I guess this is a good place to start. I hope to eventually be able to convey everything I want the story to be.
I you like my work and want to support me, please consider commissioning me over on V-gen or giving me a tip ✨
