My name is Rylan, but you can also call me Ita. [He/they]

So, I'm having some financial issues. I'm trying to go to college later this month, but I'm short $457. The original due date was Aug 1st (literally today), but I was able to get a deferment that set the deadline to Aug 31st. I need the money before then so I have time to make a bank account and get the payment in. Extra funds for supplies and necessities would also be extremely helpful.

Donations would be wonderful. I'm also going to be starting commissions. I am currently working on examples to show. For now, you can look at my art blog for reference.

(I'm new to this, so while I will do my best to get everything right, keep that in mind. Advice is welcomed)

Commission Rules:

Commissions are to be used for personal use only.

Half of the payment up front.

As of now, the time frame for me to complete the commission is 1 month. (I hope to not drag them out that long, but I want to make sure I have enough time. If I end up needing more time, I will inform the commissioner and see if it's okay for me to have more time. If not, I will return the payment.)

[If I am not able to complete the commission, I will inform the commissioner and return the payment]

I am not able to sell physical prints as of now, so it will all be online.

Yes: Furries, humans/humanoids, dragons, characters, OCs, blood.
Maybe: Non-anthropomorphic animals, scenes/landscapes, gore, ships.
No: Porn/NSFW, real people, pro-shipping, and inappropriate and/or hateful behavior.

If you have a specific OC/character, you need to give me a detailed description so I can be as accurate as possible.

Prices:

Headshots (Head to shoulders): $10

Busts (Head to abdomen, including arms) : $15

Full Body: $30

With background: + $5-10 depending on detail (otherwise it will be a plain color)

Scene/landscape: $40 +$10 per character

Lineart: Base price (meaning what the picture will be as is. No extra charge)

Flat colors: + $10

Full render: +$20

I was being cancelled because apparently it was classist to put feathers on dinosaurs.

Both dream me and irl me were very confused.

it might have been a dream, but feathered dinosaurs being linked to an ideology isn't that uncommon. Them being viewed as "leftist", "woke" or "gay" has occured several times.

I collect these examples.

reblog if you like dinosaurs, are gay, or just really like feathers

If you criticize someone for taking inspiration (aka “stealing or art theft”) from someone else’s art style in order to develop their own and YOU are an artist. You are a hypocrite as would I be if I said they were stealing someone else’s style. Because guess what. We ALL take inspiration from others art styles. I DO and I DID as a kid. Doesn’t matter it it’s a smaller artist or a famous one. I can understand if like…you would like the artist to outwardly state their inspirations to give those inspirations a shoutout that’s fine but oh my gosh….some of y’all don’t know how art styles and learning how to art works lmao.

Edit: I saw another post and to add onto this I like seeing bits of my own stuff come through others styles. It means my work is good enough to inspire others to create.

there's something so compelling to me about the fact that sometimes leaving a blade or bullet inside the wound it made is the only way to prevent you from bleeding to death. something about the ironic symbolism of it. when the thing designed and intended to kill you is the only thing keeping you alive.

werewolf transformations and magical girl transformations swapped

"s-stay back! the change... i can't control it!" *horrifying transformation sequence of bones cracking and flesh rearranging, hair growing out, ribbons and flashy jewelry bursting forth from skin, screaming in agony*

alternatively,

"In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!" *lifted up in a rainbow beam of glittering magic. each part of the body bathed in dazzling light before revealing sharp glistening claws, long fangs, and a dark shaggy coat.*

Send me to Mars with party supplies before next august 5th

No guys you don’t understand.

The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.

So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.

This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.

That’s not sad, that’s awesome.

*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing

This is humanity

Happy Birthday, Curiousity.

Happy birthday, Curiosity.

You might think that I'm joking when I say that we need cyborg rights to be codified into law, but I honestly think that, given the pace of development of medical implants and the rights issues raised by having proprietary technologies becoming part of a human body, I think that this is absolutely essential for bodily autonomy, disability rights, and human rights more generally. This has already become an issue, and it will only become a larger issue moving forwards.

No but seriously we need cyborg rights, in case you don't know how many people count as cyborgs here are some examples;

  • People with cochlear implants are cyborgs
  • People with pacemakers are cyborgs
  • People with insulin pumps are cyborgs

There are even edge cases revolving around how much electricity and integration into the body are necessary to make someone a cyborg.

  • People with replacement hips or other bones are by some definitions cyborgs
  • People with implanted medical devices such as artificial valves or stents are by some definitions cyborgs
  • People with prosthetic limbs are by some definitions cyborgs
  • People with ostomy bags are by some definitions cyborgs
  • People in wheel chairs, electric or not, are by some definitions cyborgs

The list could go on but I think I made my point that cyborgs are a lot more than just people with robot arms, they are the disabled deserving of the rights to the technology their lives literally depend on.

This is needed.

Earlier this year, a woman was forcibly deprived of a brain implant that was treating her epilepsy because the company that made the implant went bankrupt. Here's a link to one of several articles about it:

This story happened back in the 2010s according to the first article but is still relevant. Also if my cochlears were repossessed by the company for some asinine reason I would literally stop being able to do 80% of the things I do and my future would be ruined. Cyborg rights are necessary and should have been codified decades ago
