27 / ♒︎ ☉+☽, ♓︎ ↑ / ND / Enby (he/they)

Hey there! I'm Kenny, a queer, self taught artist living in Ontario, Canada. I grew up in the woods, so I tend to take inspiration from creatures and wilderness. Anthro characters are my main focus, especially unique and uncommon species. I've always had a fascination with animals, mythology and other fantasy creatures, so I try to incorporate that into my work wherever possible. My goal is to balance rustic and mystical themes to invoke feelings of nostalgia, whimsy and comfort.

Thanks for stopping by!

Experimental/Name your Price

What you make of it! I will work with your concept or art prompt on any budget you give me. This allows me the artistic freedom without restricting it to the categories outlined previously. Depending on the amount paid, you will receive anything from a quick doodle to a fully rendered illustration of a character in a detailed environment. Great if you like to be surprised with the final product. Or if you want art of a character, but you're not sure what. For projects under $85: no work in progress shots will be provided unless you ask! I will invoice you first, then contact you with the completed artwork. Anything over $85 will need to be approved at the sketch stage, like other commissions. Please contact me if you have any questions :)

Commission Terms of Service

Please confirm that you have read and agree this document:

.

Overview

If you contact me for a commission, I will assume you have read this document in advance as the link is readily available in all of my online profiles! Failure to follow the terms may result in termination of the current commission and blacklisting from future projects or commission opportunities. The artwork created by "Bleatley" is unavailable for commercial use, and is intended for individuals who wish to use the finished product for PERSONAL use. Please see “USAGE RIGHTS” section for more details. Terms subject to change. Edited *Jan 2022

Subject Matter

  • Any bipedal species, furries, humans, androids, and any quad/feral species

  • Prefer drawing a variety of species, especially uncommon creatures that I haven't drawn before

  • Characters of any gender identity/presentation

  • MILD Gore/blood, implied violence depending on the scene

  • Barbie styled/non-sexual nudity (ie: Bugs Bunny)

  • Teasy/flirty nsfw, suggestive/provocative poses (Discuss in advance, additional fees may apply)

  • Political messages/movements that I support:

  • Any bodily fluids other than drool/blood

  • Depictions of extreme violence

  • Anything relating to NFTs, any project intended to be minted/traded as an NFT


Reference Policy

Please have either a complete character reference sheet and/or a set of referential images handy for me. I can work without them, but I am a visual person and it saves me a lot of time when you provide either realistic/photographic references, or even crude sketches of the image in your mind. I really appreciate it when you get involved in the art process with me!
Written references are appropriate for REFERENCE SHEET or CHARACTER DESIGN commissions if there are no visual alternatives. There may be additional charges for working from text reference outside of those commission types. Please keep your text well-organized and with sufficient detail for me to work off of, without being overly poetic.
An example of not enough detail would be; “The character has brown hair.” Okay, brown. What about the length/shade/texture?
An example of proper detail would be; “The character has wavy brown hair that reaches the nape of her neck, with fringe bangs. The hair has blonde highlights.”
An example of too much detail would be; “The character has hair like a cascading auburn waterfall, tinged with fiery star-white streaks.”
Reference Sheets:
Please list all the information you would like included on the reference sheet before I start the sketch. I often forget to ask, and knowing what the text will look like helps me block out the sheet layout while I draw. Here’s a couple samples (you can add way more or less detail --whatever feels right for you and your character!):
Name: Joey
Species: Kangaroo
Gender: Male
Personality: Your character information blurb goes here!
Joey the Kangaroo
Male (use symbol)
Trans(just use trans pride flag)

Usage Rights

I reserve the right to refuse any commission or request, or to stop working on any commission or request, at any time. If you cease communications with me during a commission or do not provide adequate information/resources upon my request, I reserve the right to halt all work on an outstanding project.I reserve the right to use any works I complete as material for future advertisements for my own services and in my own personal work portfolios. If you want me to refrain from posting the artwork before a certain date, or at all, there may be an additional charge.I also reserve the right to post works I complete on my own art galleries or pages. With this in mind, I will respect any requests for a work to not be made public, to be withheld from the public until a certain date (eg: surprise gift art! wee), or to keep the identity of the commissioner confidential (if specified).The commissioner, and only the commissioner, has the right to utilize purchased works as they see fit, provided that utilization is not in a monetized capacity and that full credit is given to me for the creation of the art.**Do not mint any of my art as an NFT for any reason, even if you bought or commissioned it from me.Do not claim any of my art as something you made yourself. Please credit /link back to me when reposting or using my bases. Please credit me as the original designer of characters you buy from previous owners.

Process, Revisions & Updates

Corrections: minor tweaks (i.e., changing markings/colors, resizing or moving elements) can be made at any time before finalizing the piece at no extra charge (within reason). Major corrections (i.e., changing the pose of a character, adding additional anatomical features, changing species or major facial features) can only be requested during the rough sketch stage. Additional revisions start at $5/each, and may increase in price depending on the complexity of the edit.

My art Queue trello board shows my availability and what projects I'm working on at any given moment. You can use it to track the status of your commission.

Regarding updates: Work-in-progress updates are available upon request, but within reason. By default I will offer a Work in progress image at the end of every major stage of the commission (rough sketch, Ink + flat colors, shading). Depending on my workload, you can expect to hear from me every 3-5 days for basic projects. Please do not ask for an update every day. Due to their nature, some speed paintings or wing-it style commissions will be completed with no in between updates at all.
