Commissions now on VGEN

We’ve moved our commission over to VGen since Ko-fi’s generative-AI policy harms artists. VGen has a strict anti-AI policy which better aligns with our values.

You can check out what kind of commissions we’re offering there. If you have something else in mind, shoot us an email!
