Sorry I haven't been around in any way that matters this year. I'm hoping to do some uploads of work I've been doing for a small solo gallery show that goes up in January, so that's what has been taking all my time this year. That said, I'm out of work due to breaking my arm in November and am waiting for short term disability to kick in. In the meantime, however: COMMISSIONS! ARE! OPEN! Please refer to the commission options and prices below, I'm not open for larger commissions and the commission guide is severely outdated. I promise to make a new one in the coming months.
How to claim a commission/ask for a quote: Email me at april.illustrator@gmail.com

ONE SLOT REMAINING!
How to Claim a Slot: Email me at april.illustrator@gmail.com. These are first come, first serve! In the future I might use a different system, but for now, that’s how I’m rolling. FYI: these take quite a while to make, so if you are uncomfortable with waiting more than two months for art, please do not order!
Once I email you back to confirm your claim, please send the following details so we can move on:
Pick your design tier: There are three separate pricing tiers, listed at the bottom of this post.
Pick your Aequis type: A list of all types are found in this masterpost here: https://pallanophblargh.tumblr.

Amazing art! Can't believe I only discovered it just now
Though your account on here is pretty much dead now, I wanna say,
I'm really liking the pallanophs and their unique yet realistic design, they are definitely gonna be inhabiting my sketchbook!
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING DRAWINGS AAAAAA 
Beautiful art! 
Hi there! I set my eyes on quite a few of your wonderful bird art that I would gladly feature in my brand-new raptor group ArsRapax | DeviantArt
Can you pls submit them to our gallery! Ive collected and filtered it here in the favorites folder with your username:
Orphydian - Hobbyist, General Artist | DeviantArt
This thematic really fits you, shame that you haven't done more real birds of prey. I think it's your best. If you did but you haven't uploaded here on DeviantArt pls consider doing it since I'll probably feature that too 😁
Also, you are free to join us!
Happy Birthday, sorry about the clone trooper birthday cake, the fangirls hijacked it!
