hi i do these now theyre funso far i have 16 completed, approved, and uploaded creatu OAKs. i have a couple in queue and intend to do plenty more. here's a thread of my finished OAKs and their names, in order from newest at the top of the thread to oldest at the bottom. if you end up deciding that youre interested in commissioning one and getting in my queue, please see the next post.
these are resized and not full resolution but please dont steal my art. i wanted to share them here so the detail can be better seen as i feel like sometimes when they're resized to site size its a little harder to read RESTING IN PEACEAURORA BOREALISBLUE DAISIESWISE GLYCERINESTARGAZING TRASH PANDA HERO OF RES HEART OF GOLD SOUL OF SILVER LEGENDARY ROMANCE ISN'T DEAD DARK MATTER SUPERNATURAL BLUE MOON ROGUE NINJA
please remember these are reviewed by the art team and without their help these would not look as good as they do! crow and kirawra have been teaching me a lot about the site style so you can see as i make more oaks my style is developing more as i get more comfortable with it.

「CURRENT QUEUE / WORKLOAD」 OPEN
≺im available currently to take another slot! if youre interested in non OAK art, please rmail me <3 ≻* I may consider nice names as partial payment. if its a name i specifically want, i might take it as full payment *
『i am typically working on two or three of these at a time. depending on my progress on them, i may accept more before some are fully uploaded to the site but the art is complete. i know myself well and will stop accepting work if i think it is too much / i am nearing burnout. it's not fair of me as an artist to take on work i know i wont do as well on.』
$75 USD or 1250 cpvaluing around 3bil tu based on current tu:cp rate≺for these, i am quite firm on my price. they are very time consuming and i pour everything i have in to each of these pieces. i do everything i can to make it perfect just for you and am constantly learning new techniques to make them better.≻≺ i occasionally offer slots for other prices in private, but that depends on what we have talked about.≻
『 i reserve the right to add an upcharge depending on the complexity of your design requests. if you request a lot of revisions, change your mind a bunch of times, or ask for difficult details or accessories, i will inform you that i will be upcharging it. my price does NOT include the oak slot itself, which still needs to be paid for with cash points. 』
≺here i will list the general amount of slots i have available on a typical basis and if they're available. it is possible to "reserve" a slot by contacting me privately to get a quote for your idea and see if i am able to do that idea/type of creatu. i don't list your username here, just the creatu type and maybe a keyword for myself to remember.≻

≺because these are so time consuming and costly, i need to lay out some ground rules. these rules will make it easier for both you and me to make the process smooth and get your oak sooner rather than later. they also help prevent confusion and frustration.≻
『 1. please only come to me with serious inquiries offering me only what im looking for. unless you have a name or item you believe i would be interested in, i am probably not gonna take any other kinds of currency.. 』 『 2. please do not constantly rush me. i go through short periods of not being able to draw and i also have a lot of real life responsibilities. i assure you i will finish it within the timeframe i have set. 』 『 3. some creatu i simply cannot draw. some prompts i simply cannot draw. though i can draw a majority of pets and ideas, some are just not within my skillset and i think it would be rude to lie and say i can. some colors must be altered to work with my style, such as blacks being made lighter and whites being given a tint. 』 『 4. once payment is recieved i dont do refunds. if you decide you wish to move forward with another artist once ive recieved payment i will only refund you 50%, as i have already put a lot of time in to the sketch. 』 『 5. dont be afraid to ask me for any special requests or changes! this art piece is for you and i want you to be as happy as you can be with it. i will regularly ask you if you want changes; don't feel bad if you want to make a correction. 』 『 6. do not purchase an oak slot before i have confirmed with you that i am ready to work on the rest of the oak. 』 『 7. those who message me with a good idea of what they are looking for are going to be prioritized over someone who isnt exactly sure what they want yet. 』 『 8. shrine pets cannot be oaked. 』
≺my process can be a little hard to understand and follow, but it works well for me lol. i have a strange way of working on these but they will be done within two months after submitted to the queue. please do NOT purchase a slot in the oak queue until i confirm with you that i have a colored sketch ready and am confident that i can do the oak for you.≻
『 1. contact - first you can contact me in a multitude of ways; basically any way of getting your prompt to me will work. then we will share some light info and hopefully we can move to discord to talk further. 』 『 2. prompts / info - once we have gone over the basics i will basically send you a pop quiz about your creatu. not just the name or color, but i need real info. be ready to tell me the personality of this pet, their backstory, accessories, any info you have on them is what i need to make it right for you! reference images are a must have as well. i specifically am looking for pose references, moodboards, etc. any and all information works! 』 『 3. sketch phase - after you give me all that juicy info i take all of that and i start working on a sketch. i usually need two or three sketches to get the general pose down for you, then you can nitpick and decide on small details you do or dont like, what you want added, what you want removed. i also will often get upset with my sketch and rework it if i feel it is dull or disproportionate. once we work together to make a perfect sketch for you, we can move on to the next step』 『 4. color mock up - once we get the sketch ready i will start to create a color mock up for you. especially useful for pets with unique color palettes, these will give both me and the art team a better idea of how the oak will look as well as opening the opportunity for the staff team to request edits early on. 』 『 5. payment and submission - with the colored sketch complete i will request the USD payment from you. once i recieve it, you can now purchase an OAK slot using cash points and submit the color sketch for revision! now we just wait for feedback and critique. 』 『 6. staff revisions - though they will always be making revisions to the piece if needed, the main ones happen during the sketch phase. sometimes i totally miss the mark and they need major revisions, other time its small things and im good to go. its kinda random how many the sketch may need before i can line. 』 『 7. lineart and color - these two steps shouldn't take very long because i already have the color mockup, but i am often busy in real life and this is what usually takes me longer. i will send you lots of wips and updates on the coloring process to see if the colors are still to your liking. 』 『 8. shading - by far the most time consuming part of the process, the shading can take me a few days or a couple of weeks. i often feel the need to redo various parts of the shading to make everything "feel right". during this phase is when i will add any effects or details on last. 』 『 9. review, revision, and approval - once the shading is done and you say its good to go, i will share it with the art team and wait for their approval. if they request changes i will make them in a typically timely manner. they get the information they need from me and move on to uploading. 』 『 10. completion - after staff have verified and set everything up, they will add the effect to your desired ceeatu and everything is complete! you now have a brand new oak! 』

I would highly recommend this artist for anyone looking for a artist for their very own OAK. They went far and beyond what I was expecting or even asked for! They are so pleasant to work with and truly want to make a OAK that's special and one of a kind for you. They went out of their way to make sure I liked every small change, detail, or concept and made me feel included in every stage of the process. I hope to work with them again in the future!
And to the artist: Thank you for bringing my concept to life!
