Hey, It's me! I just wanted to tell you guys that I'm moving accounts. I'm trying to get rid of some reminders of bad memories from the past year and this account is one of them, unfortunately. I'd love a fresh new start anyway, this account no longer represents me or my skill as an artist anymore. I've changed a lot in the past year and would like an account that can show that.
I know most of you are fans of my mlp art, but it's not really something I draw anymore. I still have the same characters and stuff, I changed them all into humans because I didn't really want to forget them, they mean too much to me. I don't draw much fandom stuff anymore though.

My new account is Av-Apollo and I'll be posting mainly OC art there.

I hope at least a few of you see this and decide to keep following me on my journey, I hope you all have a wonderful day, thank you for following this account through the years.

It got worse

2 min read
Alright, so a few months ago, I was having some financial troubles and needed some money, so I asked you guys on DA and Instagram and I raised nearly £100, so thank you! My goal was £200, but now I've had to raise it to £400, as it says in my bio on Instagram.. Why? Well, because of my internet provider. The wifi in my home doesn't work that well so we're always on 3G/4G, which costs money for us. The bill was £142.

We've also run into even more financial troubles and we could land up with nothing if our house doesn't sell (we need the money from the house selling to pay the mortgage). So I'm desperately trying to raise money to pay for the phone bill and give some money to my mom for safe keeping.. If you guys are looking to commission me, please please do.. I'm scared for my life and my mothers, we seriously could end up homeless if our house doesn't sell and we don't have enough money to buy just a small apartment which, unfortunately, seems like it's going to be the case..

Please, please if you can't commission me, try at least spread the word.. I may start a donation pool in the future, I'll repay anyone who donates
I am now doing commissions like OC reference sheets, character designs and I'll be selling things on my redbubble too. I'll start to make more adoptables and YCHs along with those

My commission prices can be found here

Thank you if you read all this..

Hello everyone! I'm Athenavolantis, I go by the same name on Instagram, and I'm in a little bit of a crisis..

My mother and I have been going through financial trouble for a while.. But it's getting pretty serious now

Today she nearly had to borrow money from me, her youngest daughter. She got lucky and didn't need to in the end but now my concern has grown even more.

So I'm aiming to make at least £200 to give to her in case she ever needs it (also the fact that that was the amount of money she was looking to borrow from me), plus a little gift since she recently got surgery on her leg and can't walk properly, or do anything much at all

I really want to help her out.. So if you guys could be kind enough to commission me, it would mean the world to me.. I don't care if it's a $3 commission or a $25 commission.. If you don't have the money, could you please bring attention to my situation? I'm so sorry to ask, I was refraining from doing this for the longest time.. But I really need the money..

I may even sell prints or T-shirts! I just want to help her out.. I will be getting a couple jobs too, hopefully one of them pays me..!

Thank you very much if you read through this and decide to help out.. I'll keep a track of the money I've made somewhere on this account and on my Instagram account. 

~ Money raised: £60/£200 ~

How to Commission

Please send me a DM on Instagram or a note on Deviantart.
If you are going to commission, please send me a very clear reference / references of the character(s) you want me to draw. The references must also be necessary to the commission.
I would appreciate being payed before beginning on your commission.

Payment methods
- Paypal (Quick note about this, I accidentally signed up for Paypal in my mother's name. Everything else is fine! It's just pretty funny to me and thought you should know)
- Point commissions (Don't worry, If you ask for a commission in points I'll tell you how much the commission costs! Bless the converter on this site)

What you can and can't do with your commission
You can
- Repost the finished artwork on either Instagram or Tumblr (submit to your gallery on Deviantart) with proper credit given to me. If you wish to post it on another website or app, please tell me.
- Edit the artwork for personal purposes (Banners, Icons etc.)
- Use the artwork as your icon on sites and apps.
- Request me to not post the piece publicly.
You can't
- Use the artwork for commercial purposes
- Resell the artwork

Work process
I will send you a sketch of the pose I'll be drawing your character in (unless you request a specific pose) To check if it's what you want! If you want me to try another pose (while still in the sketching stage) Id be more than happy to redo it.
It'll take me from a couple of days to maybe a week or two to finish a commission. I'll give you a reason as to why it hasn't been done sooner if I take any longer than two weeks.

Refunds
You may request a refund if I haven't begun on your commission, you'll get a full refund if this happens, but please provide a reason if this is the case. If you request a refund after I've started, I'll give you a partial refund based on how far I got into the drawing. Refunds aren't optional for completed works. If you have any concerns or issues with the commission, please tell me before I finish.
You may also get a full refund if I myself cancel the commission.

____________________________________________________________

I thinks thats about it! Thank you for commissioning if you do!

Please write "Bagel glaze" In your commission note / DM so I know you've read everything! Otherwise you may be ignored!
