Commission status: CLOSED!

PWYW/Secret Commissions

These commissions are open to friends and patrons and include sketchy, experimental, or alt art medium options! These will often be messier and more freeform than my regular commissions, and quotes will vary depending on prompts, characters, etc.If you're interested, DM me on Patreon or Discord @ Dracononite.
I'd appreciate if you don't link this commissions page anywhere, thanks!
