Art Commissions by Kytri
Hello! I am a queer artist living in the US and would love to draw you a thing.
If you don't need any of the info here you can go straight to my Vgen page or my Artconomy page.
I primarily make comics and fandom illustrations. I also write a bit. I write and illustrate a Dungeons and Dragons inspired webcomic called Crypts and Cantrips. It can be found here.
Listings
Types of commissions I have on offer:"Convention Style" Couple Sketch commissions:
These are the most similar to the "skeb" style commissions a lot of people do. They're designed to be relatively cheap and require minimal communication. You will get a waist-up drawing of two characters in greyscale or with a bit of limited color.
Price: $80
I can also do just one character for $40
Turn around time: usually under a week, maybe two if I am ill or very busy.
Vgen Artconomy
Character illustration commissions:
My standard thing. I'll draw basically any character in basically any pose or angle. I'm happy to work off descriptions for characters that do not yet have full visual designs.
Unlike the previous listing I will send you progress shots and you can request revisions once I have started work or even at the end if something is not right (though the earlier you point out an issue the easier it is to fix). You have more creative control here.
Price: $100 for a full body drawing
Additional characters or a background may be added for an additional $100
Conversely I can go cheaper if you want a half-body or headshot.
Turn around time: Usually a couple of weeks to a month, rarely more than two months. This is somewhat dependent on you since I will send progress images that need approval before I can continue work.
Vgen Artconomy
Miscellaneous commissions:
For more elaborate or odd requests. This could be basically anything: a full illustration, a logo, a comic page, a fancy cover sheet for something. If you don't think either of the other listings cover what you want use this one.
Price: varies, most of my personal commissions run between $50 and $300, commercial illustrations may be more.
Turn around time: I try to keep it under two months if at all possible. Since this is the anything goes sort of listing communication is very important and will affect completion time.
Vgen Artconomy
Sponsor a personal drawing:
This isn't really a proper listing. But if you really like my art you can send me some money and I will draw whatever I want, or nothing if you want me to take a day off.
Price: $5 is the minimum, you can put in anything you want
Turn around time: pretty quick I guess? I'll make sure to draw something and post it on socials within a couple of days

Frequently Asked Questions
Additional FaQ:
What is Vgen? What is Artconomy? Which one should I use?
Both are platforms for taking art commissions. They handle messaging and payments which makes things on my end much easier to keep track of. Vgen is the most popular one currently because they take steps to avoid hosting genAI or scam content. An invite code is needed for artists to sign up. Artconomy works similarly, and is mainly used by furry and NSFW artists. Their fee structure works differently as well and I'm still figuring them out, but I currently have the additional fees set to be optional. As I understand it that additional fee acts as a sort of warranty so you can get your money back in case of a dispute, but the fee itself is not refundable.
Personally I would prefer people use Artconomy for NSFW commissions and Vgen for most other things.What happened to Commiss.io?
Until very recently I mainly used a platform called commiss.io to take commissions. It appears to have been abandoned by its owners, and while the site was still working last I used it I worry about it's security going forward.Is there anything you won't draw? (e.g. "no furries no mecha") What about NSFW content?
I'm pretty open. I don't have the common no furs/mechs clause because I will make a good faith attempt at either. Mecha is pretty far outside my wheelhouse, but honestly I would like more practice drawing furries.
As for more adult content I'm generally comfortable with it and will take such commissions so long as I am permitted. Vgen's status on such things is unclear to me at the moment, they were fine with adult art when I first signed up, but now seem to be less so. Artconomy currently allows it, and since it appears to be run by and for furries I expect them to make efforts to keep it that way.I'm trans or non-binary or otherwise go by a different name than what's on my credit card, will you see that information?
I generally only see the name you enter in the form to me. You will probably have to enter your legal name somewhere in order to make a payment, the same as any other credit card payment, but I will not see it.I'm not sure what details to include on the commission form.
Anything is fine. I've drawn a lot of characters with no preexisting reference image and am comfortable working off a description. I've had people send me all sorts of things to communicate what they were wanting. I've seen a lot of piccrew avatars and photos of random accessories and stick figure drawings. Anything that gets the idea across is good and if you miss something you can send more info after the fact. I would prefer you not send anything generated via AI, but understand if you're gathering images from google or pintrest or somewhere it can be difficult to tell.Speaking of AI do you use any of it in your art?
Absolutely the fuck not.Why can't I use paypal or something else?
I believe Vgen allows you to pay via paypal, as does Ko-fi. I can take commissions through paypal directly but prefer to use commissions sites for the extra features and ease of organization. My memory is not that good and I will almost certainly lose track of any information that is not stored where I expect to find it.I have another question.
It's fine to ask! You can message me on Bluesky @kytri.bsky.social or on discord if we share a server. If we're already communicating on another platform you can ask there as well.
