Here's The First Ever Custom Adoptable (ie. OC Made From Scratch With The Buyer's Specifications) For

Here's the first ever custom adoptable (ie. OC made from scratch with the buyer's specifications) for @bm0321, Bruce. I've never really drawn anyone with tan lines before, so this was a first.

I'll probably throw in that option once a couple more adoptables are sold.

I’ve been rummaging through my old posts and I figured it was about time I tried my hand at making adoptable OCs. Some of these are characters I’ve made in the past that I’ve either only drawn once (or a handful of times) many years ago or that I’ve never bothered to draw/post in the past. There’s also a couple of new ones that were made just for this as well. I had to come up with a few of those on the spot last night, seeing as a few OCs were purchased from me before this post even went up.

The OCs available in this batch are as follows:

A. Ziant (elf)

B. Myantsuke (human)

C. Fernando Rapisco (soccer player)

D. Martial arts guy

E. Dude in a singlet

The pricing and options available for these are:

Adopt OC: $10 each

Color (original or change): +$5 (each)

Design changes (price depends on what it is): +$3-10 (each oc)

Bonus/Additional BW Sketch (in my usual style): +$10 (each)

Here are some examples of how a finished adoptable looks like (depending on what options you pick): http://luxalive.tumblr.com/post/173004225386/here-are-some-adoptables-that-were-purchased-by

If you purchase one of them and you want to have their name changed, that’s fine by me. Just be sure to let me know when you make the purchase or before the finished piece goes live.

It’s first come, first served. If you’re interested, please send an email to luxencom@outlook.com and we’ll discuss things through there.

It’s been a bit over a month since I’ve started selling adoptables, so here’s an updated post (would have gotten it up sooner, but some of the new adoptables I was making during that time were sold as soon as they were created, haha).

P.S. I made my own Ko-fi page for donations a couple of weeks ago to help me get a new bed and mattress (among other things down the line), though I’ve been reluctant to make a post about it. So, there’s that if for some reason you don’t feel comfortable donating directly via Paypal. I’ll still offer that one up if anyone asks.

I really really hope you are ok. I am praying for your safety.

Thanks for worrying about me. Hurricane Irma left PR and it didn’t really affect my area that much (I live around the southwest side). It was mostly rains that would come and go, plus the lights flickering all day. Tonight however, the power did go out a few times.There’s still power and water in my neighborhood (I read that there’s a lot of places with just one or neither at all at the moment), so I’m thankful for that and hope that things around the island in general improve.

An update

Hey guys, sorry for making you all worry!

I'm still fine, somewhat. It's been a bit hard keeping myself calm around my family, given the whole situation with the hurricane and whatnot. As I mentioned last time, we're safe, but we still don't have any power or internet at home. I have not been able to work on many, if any, of the planned Patreon content due to currently having to share my room with my brother (this also goes for NSFW commissions). Long story short, our "stepdad" has a power generator and the cables we have only reach up to my bedroom, instead of his which is a bit further along the hallway. The generator is only turned on during the night, so I can't really work on much during the day (my battery is probably nearing its last legs; as of late barely lasts 2hrs with all the power/battery saver options turned on).

For those who aren't in my Discord server, I'm finally able to post this log I've been keeping ever since this whole mess started. It's not short by any means, but I do hope it at least gives you all some insight on how my situation has been and how I've been trying to put up with it, among other things. If you're interested in reading it, please follow the link below and download the attachment at the bottom of my Patreon post.

I'm currently using the data connection from one of those free government cellphones (after my brother stopped keeping it a secret from me) and I'm not sure how long it will last. I'll try to upload some of the wip screenshots I had shared with a few of my patrons via Telegram/Discord the last time I was able to hand out these files to some friends for them to post them in my stead at the time (these are Patron-only btw).

Thanks to everyone who's been wishing me the best, has still stuck around despite my situation, and has been patient enough to wait for things to get better. I really can't thank you all enough. I'll try to keep you all updated to the best of my abilities.

Internet’s back and regarding the current backlog

For those who don’t follow me on Patreon, I’d like to let you know that the power has also been restored in my home/neighborhood. There was a post at the time that went along with that announcement, but seeing as I was posting things from a terrible data connection, I was unable to log on/repost it easily everywhere.

If you’d still like to read that old post, feel free to take a look at the following link. As for those who are up to date, you’ll find an updated version of Volume 2 of my event log in the attachments of this post on Patreon.

Hey guys, I wanted to let you all know that I finally have an internet connection back at home. To be exact, the whole thing came back on the evening of the 23rd and it’s remained, for the most part. They’re still giving it maintenance around the neighborhood and any other areas where the internet line runs through, so most of the time the bandwidth speed isn’t that good and/or the whole thing crashes for a couple of hours. The same goes for the power itself… I planned to post this message last night, only for the whole thing to go out in a widespread area until today. It returned around 1:45 PM. I’ll still be writing stuff into the event log whenever I can, so you can keep tabs on what’s up over here if you’d like.

Now then, I’m sure you’re all wondering how I’m going to handle the backlog of Patreon content that’s built up due to the terrible circumstances that led to it. Well, that’s quite simple really. I’ll be handling the single-image polls first (ie. The body type and fanart ones) and once those are out of the way, I’ll get started on the growth ones. These drawings, just like any other monthly image I’ve posted in the past, will remain up here (early access/hi-res downloads, as usual) for a month since their completion. In regards to the fanart polls, I’ll be handling them a bit differently. Since these are some of the polls that usually take the longest to receive an answer/suggestion, I’ll be making a single poll consisting of all the already submitted answers from last year that I happen to fancy. You’ll be able to vote for more than one character as well (the same applies to the body type poll). For every month that the fanart poll was reached in my absence, there will be a fanart drawing that coincides with the votes from the poll, going from the most voted to the least.

These polls will be up later tonight (assuming the power doesn't go out again), so be sure to take a look again in a couple of minutes. I will also try to work on the pending tier rewards and commissions as fast as I can; I'm not pleased with what little progress I was able to make in regards to those last year and even less at the time of this writing (due to the whole hurricane mess delaying things even further). I'm still thankful that many of my current audience have been rather patient with me, but I do know that patience doesn't last forever. I'll try to keep you all updated on those when I have some proper progress to show.

Here's hoping I can get over this bumpy start of the year.
