2025 Open Commission Application!
This is it, folks! The form for the Sept 2025 digital sketch commissions. I don't take online commissions often, but since some people can't make it to physical conventions, consider this a "digital convention" of sorts for September! This is the form for that.

Here's how it works:
Once you hit submit, you'll be entered into the drawing. The drawing will take place on Sept 1st, 2025. You don't need to be a Patron to apply. It's open to everyone, but only one form and one sketch per person.
I will email you if your sketch commission was selected and request payment. Be sure your email is correct. If you do not receive a response by Sept 15th, then all slots have been filled. However, if anyone drops out of their slot, I will pick from the remaining submissions.
I will try to draw as many as I can, but keep in mind, I am just one artist! If your request does not get picked, please don't take it personally! I can only do so many! If people like this, I will try to do more "digital conventions" in the future!
Here are some examples of what my 1 character OC sketches look like:
(though I think everyone here knows what my sketches look like... they're blue!)
More information and rules are available in the form. If you have any questions, ask them down below in the comments.

Idk if I'm dicking myself over, but I don't know when and where is a better time to say this énè Ive been waiting to submit my commission for five years ever since I'd hoped to present it at Comic Con 2020, before COVID got in the way. And... everything ever since. It means a lot to me... And I'm sorry if it's a bother to say it here Tom. I only hope even if it doesn't get picked that my commission is perfectly acceptable, and doesn't violate any of the guidelines. Or make you... uncomfortable énè
Short question: my character hasn't been drawn before, so I don't have any single reference that works for everything. Would it be ok if I include multiple references of similar species for different parts of his anatomy and clothing?
If you can combine it all into one easy to view image, sure. I can't, however, use references scattered across many files.
Just to check, the "Name" section is whatever we want to be addressed as right? Not our actual full legal name lol
why would i need your real name lol
Do you take debit
He sends a PayPal invoice and then PayPal lets you pay however you want, so yes
are these raffle or artist choice?
Pretty sure it’s raffle
I've been meaning to get a portrait pfp of one of my OCs (one I comm'd from someone else) updated, having it to be a more full body visual; regardless if its in an alternative art style, this would be a nice opportunity indeed.
Aww, missed out due to my "brick'd" cellphone. *le sigh*
Can’t submit on my phone b cause I changed the password!! Huh at least it’s not first come first serve.
Submitted, though after some reflection I should have made some additional statements on the description -- if selected, will there be an opportunity to clarify some things?
in the mail of confirmation there is a link to change your answer
Tom can I drop submission please
Heya, Tom! Can I ask for a piece that is similar in composition to a patreon sketch you have made before? I'd like to reference one, so you know what I am trying to describe.
Sure!
Good luck with mine if it gets drawn in the lottery. I'd love to see mine but I have a feeling I'm asking for too much even with the offer of paying more.
For future reference in case I’m able to afford one of these sometime, are you okay with drawing light SFW bondage (like a character just tied up and gagged, no explicit or overt elements) or does that still qualify as “weird fetish stuff?”
What payment sites do you accept ?
It's all done through PayPal, so whatever PayPal accepts.
I didn't even know it was a thing. This is very tempting.
A chance to get Art from you feels still unreal. Stuck in Europe, without a way to travel easily, this is like THE opportunity! 🙏
Wow 😳
120? Damn.. my savings suck right now. That's actually way more affordable than I thought you'd be. You clearly have the skill and talent, you're just that fast?
Question for ya. A friend already submitted a form with their character, but would it be alright if I submitted a form with a 2 character idea using the same character they already submitted? I don't want it to seem like they are trying to double dip or anything, so I wanted to ask if that was ok beforehand so they didn't get disqualified or something.
Uh... yeah, I guess that's okay.
Neat!
Wondering, what payment type sites do you accept? (Paypal, Venmo, Kofi, etc) PS; Sent in an app either way.
It's a PayPal invoice. You don't need a PayPal account if you don't have one, you can just use a credit card or I think Venmo.
Sent it. I included a link to a reference sheet on Imgur
So I already submitted an app but the only link I really had to any refs for my OC was my X account? Is that gonna be ok? Cause I have art of him posted there so it should be easy to find
Just asking for clarification sakes on my end, but can we request personal MMO characters or is it just OCs?
Yeah, as long as I can tell what they look like.
Do you mind if we provide a very simple sketch of our idea as a reference? I made a quick mockup of what I'm picturing, since I'm not confident in my ability to describe it.
Yes, of course. I'm happy to interpret a scene from a sketch. That's fine.
Submitted! Ty so much for the chance 🤍
Do the reference sheets have to be like yours Tom?
It can be anything. Though, the more detail I can get the better. I do recommend something visual, I'm not good at interpreting a character from a description.
To clarify on rule 5 "Artist's choice" is not allowed. Would it be alright to have well described multiple ideas with the characters (so you can choose a preferred one). Or do you want one single idea?
You can give multiple ideas if you want. Just don't get upset if I pick the 'wrong' one! I've had that happen before ^^; Given a choice, but they really wanted one more than the other.
If I was a bit more comfortable with my funds I would 100% jump on this!
So I could use a screenshot as well just like HunterX long as it fit within rules?
Sure, as long as you host it somewhere that I can see it, and I can tell what the character looks like, it's fine. Just use google or imgur or whatever. Don't give me a link that doesn't work - I've had that happened a few times. (one person tried to link to their PC's desktop, which... was no good, obviously)
I have been waiting for this moment for years omggg 💙💙
Submitted!
Would we get be able an existing art colored for a premium in leiu of a sketch in a similar vein of the old Nora Cards (hopefully with less perfectionist revisions) or the more recent Anthro Seikret sponsorship color? I see it is not on the rules, I am just curious of the possibility now or in the future before I put my commission idea in.
Not Tom but just in case he doesnt see this- i'd consider that very unlikely. A colour is a lot more work and that time would cut into the total commissions he could take.
Would using screen shots from Final Fantasy 14 be ok for an OC reference?
I don't see why not. Sure.
I was going to suggest a few nsfw things, but I'll try one of my old (slightly less nsfw) suggestions instead
Finished submitting mine. Good luck to others who enter!
I'm definitely entering! Can't wait to see all the drawings from this!
Submitted! Would love to see Koda in your style and world as a guest in a natural interaction with characters. 🙂
Getting a commission from Tom? Yes please I'll figure how to get the money
what exactly does "+tax" mean? how much tax? also: how long is the form going to be open?
The tax rate is 6%. So, 6 dollars on 100. The form will be open until Sept 1st.
OMG OMG OMG Totally entering!!!!
Bah, if I wasn't between jobs, I'd apply for the raffle, lol. Good luck to everyone who enters!
That's awesome, I wish luck to everyone filling in the applications! :)
YAY sounds fun and a chance to get peak art from a legend, My birthday is September 20th too! Best of luck to everyone who enters :3
Have not seen the nine tails OC posted anywhere else.
