soupcat345

hello! you can call me soupcat or toffee. i'm a russian (primarily) furry artist that draws for a hobby.

About contacting

If you want to contact me first, you'll have the most luck DM-ing me on TikTok or, if you're russian-speaking, on VK, since these are my only pages that i check frequently outside of posting art or actively discussing something with a commissioner. Afterwards we can move to any of my active socials of your choosing, or to tumblr, discord or email.

Soupcat's TOS

P.s: i know this might look long, but i promise it's not complicated, just extensive! It's also formatted and split into segments for easier navigation.

Characters and topics
I will draw:

▸ Anthro
▸ Feral, including non-mammal ones
▸ MLP fan-characters
▸ Animalistic aliens/monsters (not grotesque horror ones)
▸Any species, including community artist-made ones (terraliens, protogens, chimeeons etc). I do mostly specialise in furred mammals, but i welcome drawing less "popular" species too
▸ Any gender, any body type
▸ Blood or mild horror imagery (eg. skulls, bones, extra eyes and limbs)

I won't draw:

▸ Human and human-like heads and faces of any type (including transformers, na'vi, egyptian sphynxes, etc)
▸ Detailed mechanics
▸ Designs with an abundance of gradients or blended textured pattern edges*
▸ Realistic and/or painful gore
▸ Grotesque horror/"gross" topics (rot, pus, maggots, boils, etc)
▸ Hate speach, slurs, military topics, political content
▸ Controversial/immoral topics (nazi, racism, pedo/necro/zoo/incest characters and pairings, etc)
▸ NSFW/erotica of any kind, including pseudo-SFW fetishes (inflation, extremely hyperbolic proportions, vore, etc)

Ask first, depends on the case:

▸ Child/teen characters
▸ Religious motifs
▸ Sparkledogs/sparklefurs/otherwise complicated designs
▸ Characters and topics that do not fit into any of the categories mentioned above
▸ Painless candy/pastel/flower/etc gore

Process of commission
WIPs and revisions:

▸ WIPs and approval stages: 2-3 hyper simplified thumbnails (if applicable) → finished sketch → flat colors.
▸ Revisions are free, however, you can only make them according to the current WIP approval stage (so, i won't make pose/anatomy edits when sending flat colors). Don't be scared to write them even if there's a lot of them. I also don't mind redlines.
▸ Deadline depends on the specific piece, but it will most likely be 1-2 months. The deadline is counted from placing and confirming the commission.
▸ Full payment after the sketch is finished and approved.
▸ Elements of the reference's artstyle may be interpreted as a part of the character's design and applied in my drawing. If you want some major elements of the ref to be drawn differently from the ref (eg. more hyperbolised anatomy, smoother fur or different leg proportions) or there are important parts that aren't clarified in text and can me mistaken for the ref's artstyle, please, let me know beforehand! I don't mind, but i do need to know.

Other:

▸ I may refuse your commission for personal or any other reasons.
▸ The drawing and its WIPs will be shown to other people. I don't take private art commissions.
▸ I really appreciate being given several characters to choose from, but you don't have to!
▸ If you want me to have more artistic freedom with stylizing your character, you also have that option. Just tell me upfront.
▸ Please do not send me character references with any uncensored NSFW.

Briefly in general:

  To view up-to-date art examples, head to my Cara or TikTok linked in the "My socials" section of this Carrd. You can also request them when contacting me directly, if you're looking for examples of how i draw a certain species or body type.

  SFW only.
  The drawing will be lined and coloured in all cases. Shading and rendering, however, differ between positions.
  Payment is done after you approve of the sketch for my main style comms and fully upfront for my chibi style comms.

  Item props are free, but ones in large numbers and/or heavily complex ones are only added on my initiative.
  Scenic backgrounds are currently a case by case scenario. Depending on what you want, i may refuse the commission or offer you to opt out for one without a background. I'm most comfortable with simpler nature backgrounds, but even they are relatively experimental for me.!!Please check my full TOS before ordering!!

▸ Addition: scenic background (if approved)
Price: + $5-$10 for main style comms, flat +$5 for chibi style comms

Deadline: +50% of the inital deadline
