Piranhartist's General Art FAQ


Fanart Boundaries

This info goes both for folks wanting to draw a gift in general, or have their work featured in my fanart showcase on my art streams!What is okay:- Any medium used to depict my goobers standalone- Character interactions of my OCs amongst each other:
It's okay if not perfectly in character! If you want to ask about any trivia for them, feel free!
- Shenanigans based on the streams, using my characters- Fan animations feat. audio from existing series:
Feel free to run the audio clip or idea by me first before making it, but if it fits their vibe I usually find this kind of stuff funny LOL
What isn't okay:- Anything suggestive/romantic/NSFW:
Romance is an intimate subject for me, so what few characters of mine are couples, I prefer to be the only one drawing in romantic situations. Anything else likewise is a hard no.
- Character interactions of my OCs with yours:
It feels like receiving a hug from a stranger unprompted. Folks have pushed this boundary in bad faith in the past so I am not comfortable with the gesture.
- Icons, Banners, or VTuber Models:
I am not okay with others outside myself using ANY of my characters to represent themselves. That is a hard line. I also do not want to be pressured into using pieces for my own profile unless I commissioned them directly.
- Fanfics or Fandubs:
Similar to above, I'm not comfortable with others speaking on their behalf with dialogue I did not write. Fandubs are a less uncomfortable line- but still feels a bit funny haha.
- AI Generative Images:
:/
None of my characters have ever been (nor will be) made for a commercial project. They're a very personal form of exploration and self expression, and represent me in some way or another, so receiving gifts while sweet, is also very personal, an I appreciate folks respecting these boundaries!

Is there anywhere else besides commissions if I want to support your work?I semi-frequently stream now on Twitch if interested in bit donations or subscriptions, and also have a Kofi going for one time donations! Both are completely optional since my main content will always be free to the public. :> I have a digital artbook available for purchase on Kofi, but the rest of the shop has freebies as well!I sent a hello but didn't get any response!If there's no other context provided with a message besides a 'hi' or 'hey', I'm likely not to respond! I'll either assume it's spam, or just don't have the energy to start the conversation for you. If you have a question you'd like to ask, please include it up front with your initial message!Can I repost your work on other sites?Nope! Please don't! Pretty self explanatory. If the work has been reposted on websites I either don't have an account for or am inactive on, it was not consensual. If I want any of my content featured on a given website I'll post it as I see fit.You can find links for whatever sites I'm currently active on through

Are your commissions open?You can find out the current status of availability at any time on

Can I trace your work?Not if it's posted publicly. I don't mind folks referencing my work for private practice, as I did the exact same with artists I enjoyed while growing up and just getting into art! But actually posting that practice is an immediate nope. With or without credit that just makes me uncomfortable. Tracing or referencing my work for any other reason outside practice is also a no. Unless specifically listed as a free base- my art is n o t your template.Can I use your art for an icon or banner?You can if it’s fan art, as long as you give proper credit, and it wasn’t taken from a piece of gift art or commission art! But please do not use anything of my fan characters or original content, and please don't make edits or changes to my work apart from cropping it. If you use my art for a desktop/phone wallpaper I do not care since I wouldn't know anyway, you do you lolCan I use your art for RP icons/an RP blog?Again, only if it's fanart that is simply cropped, and only with proper credit. Though asking ahead of time would be appreciated.Can we do a collab/art trade?If we’re mutuals then go ahead and toss the idea my way! Otherwise it’d have to be no. :,PCan you draw more ____?Likely no if it’s something I haven’t drawn for a while. Unless I’m very obviously in a “phase” of drawing stuff for that series, you’ll need to request a commission.How do you do ___ thing?If you have anYTHING you want me to explain of my process feel free to ask! I love sharing what I know in whatever way that it can help!
