Tools of the Trade

What you get for being a patron.

In the scorching Red Sea Desert, the Skylight Pack struggles to survive amidst the crumbling remnants of civilization. Confronting both the cadavard plague and the specters of their own pasts, they navigate overgrown ruins, battling infection and the lingering scars of trauma. As they strive to preserve their identities, shadows of cadavards follow. Will they hold on to who they are or will these shadows consume them, body and soul?

Genre: Post-Apocalyptic | Thriller | Sci-Fi
Rating: R18+ | Mature audience

Why would I draw morally wrong and repulsive subjects?

  • Morally wrong isn't lawful wrong. What one society frowns upon may not be the case for another. It has to do with culture and norms.

  • What's repulsive to you may not be to someone else. There are plenty of things I cannot stand while others love them. It's important to keep an open mind.

  • IT'S FICTION. It's pseudoscience to believe fiction directly affects reality like the way people think video games cause mass shootings. The reality is far more complex than this 1:1 oversimplification. Loving an evil murderer or rapist character doesn't mean that you support what they do or that you will defend real life murderers and rapists. Enjoying feral nsfw of canids doesn't mean someone wants to fuck a real dog. Etc. (Unless the person does state otherwise, then it's another story.)

  • A lot of abuse victims such as myself use/draw/write violent/sexual content as a coping mechanism since one has full control when it comes to their fictional world.

  • I live on disability since I cannot work due to certain diagnoses. Being poor sucks. Every bits of money is helpful.

Lexicon

  • Art commission is a digital (in my case) artwork that someone has paid an artist to draw for them. It exchanges money, usually via PayPal.

  • Art trade is an exchange of an item between the person and artist of an equal value. It can involve a variety of things, yet in my case, it's mostly art for art and design for design.

  • Copyright is a form of protection regarding original works such as photography, literature, music, architecture, graphic designs, artworks, and more. "Creative Commons is an American non-profit organization and international network devoted to educational access and expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share."

  • Design, in visual arts, is the full creation of a character's looks, personality, behavior, and overall visual appearance. This is also used for logos, concept arts, maps, and story ideas.

  • Base refers to a premade file of a character for multi use such as coat designs, often used in Adoptables and Reference sheets.

  • Cameo is the brief appearance of a well-known person, symbol, or such in media such as movies and games.

  • Easter Egg is a message, image, or feature hidden in games, movies, stories, and other such medium.

  • Instinct is "an innate, typically fixed pattern of behavior in response to certain stimuli." Every lifeforms have instinct, a deep rooted and subconscious survival ability. As a matter of fact, humans have a lot more instinct than we let on, yet instinct doesn't negate sentience and sapience. Whichever lifeforms, instinct is needed.

  • Sentience is the ability to feel, awareness of one's own existence, thoughts, emotions, surroundings, and other beings. One doesn't even need a brain to be sentient, as jellyfishes and plants have demonstrated. Sentience can go further as self-awareness, consciousness, and the ability to reason.

  • Semi-Sapience refers to non-human animals regarded as highly intelligent such as corvids, parrots, dolphins, elephants, and our cousin primates to name a few. They've gone beyond base sentience and may evolve full sapience someday.

  • Sapience is the ability for abstract thoughts, critical thinking, deep reasoning, greater understanding, foreshadowing, and similar forms of mental activities. It's usually seen as a human-only thing because we're so far the current sapient animals on Earth since all others are extinct. (We often erroneously refer to our tool use as a sapience thing. Tool use is our evolutionary advantage.)

  • Anthropomorphism attributes human traits, emotions, and behavior to non-human beings such as wildlife, plants, and objects.

  • Humanoid refers to creatures that are human or human-looking such as primates, extinct human species, and the fictional species shown in Star Trek.

  • Anthro animals mainly refer to creatures with humanoid anatomies and/or human-like abilities such as werewolves and furries.

  • Feral refers to a creature's four-legged anatomy such as canids, deer, crocodiles, tokotas, dyres, and more. Birds are often added to this category. The feral individual is anthropomorphic, sapient, and able to make decisions.

  • Feral nsfw refers to sex with non-human animals of feral sapient nature. For example, Scooby goes in feral while Lassy goes in bestiality.

  • Ability to consent means a character's ability to agree or disagree to any kind of activity, such as sexual ones. The Harkness test is often used as a simple visual of consent.

  • Underage refers to individuals that are below their species' legal ages. The term is often used for forbidding pornography and suggestive works involving minors.

  • Paraphilias are "persistent and recurrent sexual interests, urges, fantasies, or behaviors of marked intensity involving objects, activities, or even situations that are atypical in nature." (NIH) Thought crimes don't exist and don't do anything by themselves. It's how they're channeled or put to in/action that's the important part. Having a paraphilia doesn't inherently make a person and abuser. Someone with a BDSM kink, a foot fetish, or is into bloodplay doesn't have a disorder. The term paraphilia is often mixed up with Paraphilic Disorder.

  • Zoophilia is a paraphilia of sexual nature towards non-human animals. A zoo or zoosexual is someone that feels a romantic attraction towards another species. yet doesn't condone animal abuse and wouldn't attempt the act. (Since other animals cannot give a clear consent like we do.) Bestiality is sex by a human to a non-human animal. Both bestiality and zoo are often interchanged and heavily debated on whether they're considered the same or not depending on who uses it.

  • AI art refers to ""artworks"" made with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Applications. These programs are built on stolen artworks and the culture of diminishing artists.

  • Cryptocurrency and bitcoin refer to digital currency as an alternative form of payment created using encryption algorithms. NTFs are a unique digital identifier that cannot be copied or substituted and is recorded in a blockchain to certify authenticity and ownership. Both are basically a massive Ponzi scheme.

Copyrights

Personal works & Commissions

  • This generally applies to the Cadavard cast and my non-comic characters, who are not for sale or trade. The characters and surrounding concepts are under a CC BY-NC-ND license. Certain photos and any content regarding Vin the pigeon fall under this.

  • Copyrights also apply to the people related in credits if applicable.

  • You have to credit me, you cannot make money off my work, and you cannot edit it. Any exceptions are listed.

  • You're free to share the images or even use them as desktop/phone screens. I do tolerate collages for personal wallpaper use.

  • Only the commissioner or the person I traded/gifted an art is allowed the fullsize unwatermarked version. They're not to share that outside. They cannot redistribute the original PSD nor resell it.

  • This also applies to Patreon supporters. The content is meant to stay on the site.


Cadavard cameo & Lykos Wilds

  • If said cameo is any of my species, I own the copyrights to the species usage. If I came up with the entire design or a portion of it, I own this too.

  • The rest belongs to the friend whom I'm featuring their character in. The same principle applies to a coat design I did for someone.

  • I own only what I did.

  • To those in the CDV spinoff Lykos Wilds, you own your characters and stories. Copyrights on that aspect are more relax.

Sale, trade, or gift

  • You buy them, you own them. We traded fairly, you own them. I gave one to you, you own them. Once you own them, you can do whatever arts you want with the character/design (sfw & nsfw + commercial), change the species, sex/gender, personality, etc. The rights go to you and all that's requested is giving me credit for the original.

  • You're free to regift, retrade, or resell this character/design to someone else, aside from the blacklisted users. While I surrender all rights to said character/design, I'd rather you have the courtesy not to sell higher than what you paid/traded. Be fair. The only thing the new owner has to do is credit me on coming up with the character/design and the ref sheet if there's one.

  • If I made a character/design using a base made by someone else, you must credit that person for said base.


Bases

  • You can use the base for personal characters, adopts, customs, ref sheets, and the likes. You have to credit me and you cannot remove my watermark. You cannot redistribute the original base/PSD nor resell it.

  • In the case of the Rheno Fox, it's an open species allowed to be used outside of the Cadavard universe. They are a red fox after all.

  • Tails are done separately to allow mixing with other bases. ^^ Same goes for other details like saber teeth.


Fan work & Sexual content

  • Fan arts are obviously fine so long as I'm credited and notified. I'd love to see the artworks no matter skill level or subject! ^^

  • While I won't control what others draw, and that'd be pretty stupid to do so anyway, I do have preferences on what I personally will and won't draw. So no, I don't want to see everything.

  • A cameo or fursona may represent directly the owner and as such, they may forbid nsfw. Ask permission for these characters.

Blacklist

The following users have reasons why I won’t do artworks/designs/etc related to them/their works. Some are suicide-baiters, bullies, harassers, scammers, support bestiality, support AI theft, etc, and don't deserve any attention. Don’t commission/trade with me for a gift art to said user. Don’t buy a character design from me to give/trade/sell to these users. Etc. No, I won't state my reasons publicly nor via private message. If you get along with any of them, congratulations! It's not important (though I worry about you.) This section is meant for information purposes. Have the courtesy to understand one artist not wanting to do business related to some folks.
