I *promise* I will stop being annoying about my VGen commissions soon!! How soon? Specifically $30 sooner so that I can make the verification cutoff by the 20th ✌️If you want a headshot or a skeb or somethin', even a little somethin' of you and your boo for Valentine's Day? :0

I've added watercolor character illustrations to my VGen 💜 They're slightly cheaper than digital comms, because I'm so much faster at them haha!

If even one person got a fullbody watercolor portrait of their OC, I would make the cut to get verified...🥺

Watercolor portrait of a D&D character sitting with his head resting dejectedly in his hands, while a sprite sits on his shoulder and comfortingly holds a lock of his hair. He is a young human man with pale skin, shaggy dark hair, and bright green eyes.
