Hello ! Important change and more socials on where to find me 🤗
I changed my username to "amorkuku", I was previously known as "randoparody". I also change the watermark of my art from now on. You can also find me on twitter as amorkuku
long list of funny things abt my experience doing emote commissions for mike
first of all I wasn't expecting to get commissioned at all (my commissions weren't even open, I just made an exception for mike) let alone by MIKETHELINK of all fucking people, so I had nothing prepared. I had no portfolio, commission sheet, nothing. I had never made any twitch emotes, so I had no examples to show either. meaning that when barbmine showed up in my dms asking if I took emote commissions, first I lost my fucking shit, then I panicked and rushed to find the most recent emote-like illustrations I had, including animation, and the most recent animation I had on hand happened to be a viewtiful joe one lmao. the animation in question 👇
(the usernames on the watermark aren't even accurate anymore..)
I have some experience taking commissions but they'd always been for friends of mine, this was my first time getting commissioned by a real "client" and the client was fucking mikethelink tazercraft of all fucking people . I know he "found" me through Mine, she sent me a dm first asking for commission info, saying she would show it to mike later. the thing is that when she said that she also implied that she was in touch with other artists too, so I was like "oh ok I'll send my stuff but I probably won't get chosen lol" and then a few hours later I got two twitter notifs, one saying that mr. thelink tazercraft was now following me and another was his DM. to say I almost had a heart attack would be an understatement
later I found out Mine had made a tweet asking for artists to reach out/people to rec artists for mike's twitch emotes. that post had around 40 comments. many people had been recommended more than once. I wasn't mentioned by anyone once, and in fact, I had no fucking idea that post even EXISTED until way after the fact. I have no idea how I ended up getting this job
mike happened to contact me on a day where I was severely sleep deprived. our entire business conversation took place while I was half-panicking, half-almost-passing-out. I don't know how I survived
at many points during our conversation I gave a lot of leeway for mike to give up on commissioning me, implying multiple times that he would be better off commissioning a different artist. and it's not because I lacked confidence (though a bit of that too, of course), but because of my lack of experience. I was very open about that to him, so many times I expected him to second guess his decision to commission me. unexpectedly, he was really insistent. I think partially he didn't want to go through the trouble of finding and contacting a different artist, but also I guess he just liked my art that much (??!?)
I definitely undercharged him lol. it's not that I don't value my work, it's just that I was absolutely not prepared for any of this shit to happen and didn't have enough time to think
I use adobe after effects for animating mike's emotes. I already knew how to animate (though I had never animated anything big), but I had never used after effects before. I even told mike this before accepting the commission, but he just said it was easy and I could totally do it, and I was just like "fucking hell. fine". and look, I know my limits, I knew I'd be able to learn after effects with relative ease. if I thought it'be too much for me to handle, I wouldn't have accepted the commission. it just that to this day I'm still shocked that mike commissioned an artist who HAD NEVER USED THE TOOL NECESSARY FOR THE COMMISSION HE WANTED.
due to the point above I was pretty apprehensive about animating the emotes, but now I'm glad I got this opportunity bc it reignited my passion for animation that had been dwindling for a long time and I've been learning a lot while working. also with every new emote I figure out how to use a different feature of after effects and it makes the job a little bit easier
before giving my payment information I came out to him to avoid confusion with my legal name being different from the name on my socials. he was very chill about it and always used the right name and pronouns for me whenever he mentions me on stream
fun fact: I was reached out to by another big (brazilian, not in qsmp) youtuber for a commission but I had to refuse because I had too much on my plate already (still do..)
my favorite emotes are the devil one and the nerd one
I made his twitch avatar and banner too! I'm really proud of the avatar. the banner was absolute hell
I'm a lurker (and nowadays a vod watcher since I've been busy w/ uni work) but I do watch every single one of mike's streams, so just know that I'm always seeing you guys use the emotes :3
Four decades hence his divine ascension, the God of Ambition hungered still. Hungered for power, for glory, for worship— and for love.
Scorned by his love, a mere mortal, a slight which the mind does not forget easily, he jumps at the chance to rekindle their love affair and bring her to the heavens.
The only way they can be together still... Or is it?

PSA: Do NOT buy anything from ArtWisher! Watermark your art!
Notice: Before you reblog, please check the original post to see if there's any updates.
The site ArtWisher is full of stolen artwork (and random shit like tiktok screenshots). Don't purchase anything from this site because none of the money is going to the artists.
If you're an artist, even a small one, make sure you're watermarking your stuff. Please try your best to keep the same or similar username across all platforms so people can warn you if they find stuff like this. This also applies to photos and scans of traditional work as I saw that on there too.
I found my own artwork on there without my consent being pulled from the following places:
Pixilart
ToyHouse
TikTok (via screenshots)
Redbubble (via product mock up images)
These others sites also have stuff being pulled from them (that I know of):
Youtube (via thumbnails)
Tumblr
DeviantArt
Places that are likely being pulled from but I'm not sure:
ArtFight
Instagram
ArtStation
Twitter
Below the cut are some screenshots of my stuff being stolen for profit without consent:
This image is a screenshot from my art TikTok account.
These are things from my Pixilart account from YEARS ago.
A youtube thumbnail that's not mine (the video is from a music playlist I made public on my channel), A drawing that was pulled from ToyHouse before I was using a watermark on it, and a color reference I made that is on ToyHouse.
