/tk/ - Tickling

To sort of revive this thread after that pedo-flood killed it, can anyone recommend (good) artists who are open for tickling commissions? I'm looking to have some pictures drawn, but I'm not entirely sure who to ask

>>4481

I'm pretty sure Cheshire would be willing to hear you out. The "slots" he has on his list rarely effect how he does things and plus he needs the money right now.

>>4481

Depends what you want?

>>4481

Well, I'm open if you're remotely interested in my stuff… and I'm not limited to furry art.

That said, I'm not sure if I should post what I received on here or on the furry threads…

>>4481

Having somebody else already offered to do this will make me look bad, but if you are interested I'm also up to that task.

althought I'm a bit busy at the moment so I would require some time to draw anything rigth now.

>>4481

The sublinie was, post what your commission was. It was not ask, that your must like it.

Not a huge fan of upper body, but it's nice to see Morrigan get another picture.

What are some good artists to commission in the tk community?

I am getting to my wits end.

>>8745

Komori always has sketch commissions open and will often open up her regular stuff, but she has a very specific "cutesy" style not everyone likes in their porn.

Tamyra's always good, and I like JinksLizard's human characters.

>>8745

>>8746

I'll also add in Caroo, he's got a ton of creative ideas for tickle scenarios even I wouldn't have remotely considered when handling them myself, pretty open-minded with ideas to an extent

Latin New Yorker/RBM-Ink also does some pretty cute stuff and is surprisingly open-minded

Kuroi-Wolf is crazy open-minded, doesn't seem to care how kinky your ideas are. Go crazy.

JinksLizard/SalmacisReptile I like as well. He charges less for anthro characters compared to humans. Also is crazy open-minded with kinky ideas.

Main complaint I have with him is he randomly tends to go radio silent for long periods of time and sometimes takes way longer than expected to get art done. Expect delays, especially if he's juggling several ideas from multiple clients.

IrkinGir has been taking some commissions, don't be shy to poke around with some possible ideas

DazMatter does great work, though tends to take a while, especially if he has a long list of clients. Another potential downside is he charges in UK pounds, so you may end up having to pay a little more.

SharkStormBridge also does adorable work, can't go wrong with his stuff.

I'd include myself, but it'd come off as both tooting my own horn and I just recently closed so I can focus on some of my own things for a bit.

Honestly, you can't go wrong with virtually any artist with an art style that catches your eye. Since the tickle fetish is so bottom-tier and tame, most artists don't seem to have an issue drawing it since they can see it as cute, fun and funny.

Poke around with the possible idea with them and see if they're not too bothered by it. Maximize your chances making the scenario cute and innocent, or at the very least keeping it PG-rated. And (what I personally do), is possibly ask for a sketch or inks of the idea to give them a try and see if they can produce something to your satisfaction. If you like how it turns out, you can keep them in mind for future ideas… if you don't, at least you didn't lose out so much of your money since it's just a sketch/inks.

and one who I just learned seems to really desperately need commissions at the moment

>>8746

>>8750

Tamyra did real good with the Morgan piece for the second tickle game, and that's definitely my wheelhouse, what she drew. Maybe I go through her directly. Then again, I'd probably want to see Morgan ultracompromised.

The thing is, if I am doing commission work. I want it to fit my tastes, which are definitely more human and very sexually focused. The issue is, I have worked with a few artists that I really like, but their times when it comes to getting work done can be quite abysmal. The one with the quickest turnarounds, Polarbearnsfw, doesn't even really take commissions anymore.

I am interested in putting money out there, but the months/years wait times really bother me, especially when that's money I could be using for other things, or if it is sitting in my account already earmarked and basically I can't touch it. It's worse when you pay in full and literally have zero power in the situation.

>>8789

this is PRECISELY why I've started taking the habit of scheduling a stream, be it public or private, so the client can watch their pic be done. They can let me know if it's to their liking during the sketch phase before applying inks and then maybe the colors/shading.

Once it's done, they can pay me so I can upload the full resolution for them to download. I make sure the pic is done ASAP especially if they're there watching it to completion and them paying once it's done removes their concern if I'll just take the money and run.

In the event the client TRIES to scam me once it's done, the pic will be repurposed into a YCH auction or something so the time and effort won't be an entire waste.

I keep myself flexible with my art styles and subjects to draw, within reason of course. While I may default to and prefer anthro stuff, I consider it a fun challenge drawing something outside of my norm if asked to push my current skills.

But that's just my method of doing things these days, everyone who's done business with me thus far seem to like it.

>>8745

>>8750

I'd like to add a few more to that list:

-Codricor1 has improved a lot lately, his prices are fair and he's quite fast at drawing.

-KingNanamine87 he has a cute style and his prices are quite affordable. He's throwing sales here and there so it's easy to get a good deal out of him. The only downside with him is that he might take a while for your piece to be done.

-Master417, similar to the previous one, he has an adourable style and affordable prices (less than $10 a complete piece). The only deterent would be that he might get caught on unexpected things and take a while. But he's a fine guy to talk to.

-AraghenXD I've never commissioned him (only did a collaboration with him) but I can see he's quite prolific and has a unique style, not to mention how nice talking to him is.

-Skogsjones, his style might not be the best around, but it has a cute air on it. Besides, he's extremelly cheap and fairly quick.

-LostOneZero, I recently contacted him and, considering who he is, his prices are way lower than I expected. His talent is unquestionable and he's very nice as a person. The only problem is that his commissions are closed for the time being. A pitty because I want to ask him for something.

-Darkspeed, as you can see at >>8558 he is extremely fast once he gets the payment.

-Yours truly! I won't say I'm good, just above the average, but I always offer discounts for first time-clients and for returning ones as well. I tend to take a week to finish a piece, once I get the first part of the payment (read bellow), and all of them come with extras (references pictures for the characters, and stories for drawings and the other way around).

>>8792

Interesting, I've never tried an streaming but I can't denny it's a good method to ensure your client is happy. In my case I only charge for half the price in advance, and, once I can demonstrate I'm done I ask for the remaining payment, as long as the client agrees with what they see.

>>8805

It wouldn't hurt to, y'know, ask. There's a decent amount of artists who would be flexible to do mature and even adult commissions.

>"excuse me, are you open to doing a possible adult idea?"

>"yes, what would you like?"

The worst that could happen would they'd say, "no, sorry", in which you could thank them for the response and move on with another artist that caught your eye.

It's always a gamble when working with new artists, as I said before, if you're unsure, test the waters with getting a sketch/inks to minimize how much you're paying… if you happen to really like the outcome, you can ask to upgrade it for a more complete image. If not, you can cut your losses as you try your luck with another artist.

Speaking as an artist myself, it's also equally a gamble doing business with a brand new client. They can claim they prefer to pay once it's done and try to cheat the artist with a freebie never to be seen again.

It's not always a cut and dry business, but once trust is established after the first transaction between both parties, it becomes a bit less of a hassle.

>>8811

>Totally agree with this, there's always people who will try to make the best of others in both parties of a business, that isn't something we should be surprised about.

>Additionally, going for more explicit things is just a matter of asking. What do you have to lose? I'll tell you what: nothing. If much you'll have an stranger thinking you are a creep. So what? Besides, at least based on my own experience, I've been asked to do lots of things (for free of course) that I'd never do even if I was given a great extra, because they were outside my comfort zone and I can assure you plain pron is nothing compared to that.

>>8818

Ignore the format of the previous comment, I'm still getting use to this site's posting features.

>>8818

the thing is, we don't really know who you are, what you look like or even your name (until Paypal gives the latter away).

Honestly most artists don't really care to know much about you, all we're concerned about is "do I trust this client to pay me for the work they're asking me to do, cuz this can really help with food/bills".

Just as long as you work with the artist, are patient with them (within reason, some can be slow and do need an occasional boot to the rear), and don't give them a headache with constant changes to the idea, the transaction should go smoothly.

I don't normally draw sexual tickle pics, but I have when commissioned to do so. It's a tame idea compared to some of the more weird, grotesque and violent stuff other pervs may be into. I really wouldn't be that embarrassed about it if you keep that in mind.

>>8805

I've also commissioned a number of artists over the years. Some are great about turnaround. Others…well…I think the problem is that they are artists, but don't know the first thing about business. They don't give a lot of consideration to their obligations to the customer. A lot of artists, even professional comic artists, are guilty of this problem. I had a friend who commissioned a well known DC artist for a single character pencil pic. It took the guy three years to complete it. Meanwhile, my friend had already paid up front for the piece. There are also the artists who take money up front and end up so buried in commissions that they end of panicking and drop off the internet taking the money and never completing the commissions.

>>8867

>>8860

I'm finding the turn this thread has taken as a tutorial about "how not to treat clients". I tend not to do any of these things you are complaining about but I'll just take good notice anyway.

>>8871

It's a problem that exists. Some artists know how to juggle commissions and some just see $$$ signs and take on more than they can reasonably handle. This leads to long delays and in rare cases, customers paying for something that never gets done.

>>8873

I know that problem, everyone has problems. With life or whatever. That being said, one can not stop working If they are feeling depressed. You kind of have to.

As far as art goes. I will give someone BOTD If I know from personal experience they are not normally slow. (Once again life). What gets me is when people have a batch of comissions, Then after not even finishing a batch, ask for more. A artist did this to me and others. I called them out, and got shat on by people who more then likely do the samething.

And even after all of It they half ass the picture. So that person is on my "Fuck you" list. Which is my even If you give the "I am suffering money problems" commission asking, you are not getting money from me.

As I said, I am willing to hear people out, and I am not a total ass and understand people have problems. But, plate stuffing pisses me off. You have yet finish your first batch, Finish that before you ask for more.

Because, to be frank. People who ask for money upfront without even showing progress. They have the comissioner by the balls. And they know It.

>>8881

This is definitely something that has come back to bite me. The paying in full before anything is done is something I don't know if I will ever do again. As the commissioner, you have shit for power. The only thing you can appeal to is someone's ethical code, or possibly paying them more money to do a little more work for your project.

And, to be honest, I don't know if either works. Sometimes, it results in shortcuts. But really, all you are really doing is sitting there acting like a goddamn panhandler for status updates on things you already paid for. When they got your money, they have zero incentive to do any work.

I mean, the art I have gotten has been spectacular, and I genuinely like the people I have worked with. But I've heard how some of the artist folk talk…and it's fucking weird to be looking at commissioners as money marks.

>>8888

Artists can be a strange lot. I've dealt with quite a few and some have no problems excusing their unprofessional behavior. They think that because they are hard up for cash, they can take on jobs, but once the cash is spent many are slow to produce the work they were paid for. Many rationalize this attitude by telling themselves that they have to look out for #1 and that they will eventually take care of fulfilling their commitments. Many do. Some don't. This little discussion is certainly valid and a good education for people considering commissioning an artist, but it is in no way a reflection of most artists. At least the ones I have dealt with. Most fulfill their commissions. Sometimes a bit slow, but not excessively.

As soon as I get some worthwhile commissions, I'll share them here. Not enough females of the right age and not enough of them being tickled on their feet here.

>>10524

Okay this is fucking awesome.

Is back around and possibly doing commishes? After the one for the second game…I kinda have been wanting to do another one with her.

>>10530

Is back, not sure if she's "open" or just did me a favor. Can ask though. What did you want?

>>10524

Just seen that on DA, I haven't played the game but this is a cute image nonetheless.

>>10533

It's a goddamn classic. Get it. You'll see people complaining about it atm because the ending wasn't really great, but as a whole it's a hit. Get it.

>>10533

or do what I did; watch other people play it on Youtube.

It's a little bit more of a movie than a game anyway

>>10536

It's really engaging, the youtube shit doesn't do it justice. I hate that so much of the fanbase only knows of it through lets plays.

>>10538

Ehh… considering these days I'm more of a casual gamer having little time for longer games that require all my attention to play for hours… it's my better and cheaper alternative.

Not everyone has the time and money to play a long story-based game which is bound to have spoilers galore online days after its release.

>>10532

Dunno. Might want to so some kind of raunchy Morgan romp. Don't know how either of you would feel about that. Good pussy tickling art is like crack to me.

>>10535

It on ps4? I got spoiled on it through kotaku…but I know the end of persona 3 and still played that

>>10544

Yeah I don't give a shit, and she always likes dollar bills. That said you have a better chance of speedy turn around if you're willing to pay her upfront.

And yeah it's on every console cept Nintendo atm.

>>10545

Upfront payment shouldn't be an issue (it's how I prefer to do business with people I've worked with or trust before). Should I go through you or do it directly, since to frank, she don't know my ass from a hole in the ground?

>>10558

I'd say do it direct, since she'll probably ask a few questions about specifics and show you some sketches and ask for feedback and a middleman will just slow everything down. I already told her someone was interested and she said just hit her up at her email;

tacohan@gmail.com

I will ask if you're cool with me posting whatever you get on my DA, with the both of you credited as buyer and artist. Not in a weird 'calling dibs on MY guys!" thing but I like having the account as a kind of database for all the art featuring the characters for easy access.

>>10570

Lofty's based on a real person, so out of respect I want to ask before putting her (albeit only vaguely similar looking) avatar in anything too overtly sexual. I'll ask, but she's barely on Skype anymore lately, so unless you're dead set on her it'll probably be a hot minute.

Cat might be a good substitute, she's Tamyras character so you'll have to ask her but she's said she's a bit more liberal with letting Cat be in other peoples more explicit ideas, so she should be a go.

Really anyone but Iris and Lindsey (she in universe doesn't like the fetishy shit) are fair game, but since Lizzie, Sheol, Tommy and The Admirer are technically other peoples OCs I'll have to ask about them. Most people have loved the game though and I doubt I'd have any problem having them consent for what amounted to free fanart. But yeah other than that go as filthy as you want. I think the games universe could stand to get far more graphic.

>>10571

Wait I forgot about Trey, Trey's a real guy too so I'll have to ask if you want to use him too. Though from the sound of it you're mainly just interested in the girls.

>>10571

>>10572

Definitely not dead set on her, as she was more my fallback if Courtney didn't make sense to you. If not Courtney, then Cat would work, especially since Morgan and Cat seemed to be really open to each other and doing awful shit to each other under the sheets. Hell, your suggestion has me thinking Clea and Cat tag teaming Morgan like this would be the optimal pairing.

This is the shit I run into. I know my tastes aren't like shunned, but for some reason, there was always a bit of a taboo to messy orgasm tickling, so I don't know how comfortable people are, especially artists or people who create said characters. Some might jump right in regardless, but I rather fucking not.

Love the idea of her being able to fling herself about upperbody wise, but unable below the torso. Need to figure out what I want used on her feet, and if I want her blindfolded again, since blindfolds are fucking hot and underappreciated.

>>10573

I did a little LP of the BDSM + Courtney segment to give you an idea of the character interactions. Courtney is more "taking joy in putting Morgan through hell" as far as her interest in tickle torture. She finds it horrible and unpleasant when it happens to her, and her motivations for being into it are based completely on knowing how terrible it feels to her and enjoying doing it to someone she genuinely doesn't like, but is also physically attracted to to some extent.

http://webm.host/7efaf/

Cat and Morgan though genuinely really like each other and Morgan is really attracted to Cat (since she's not my character I haven't really went into detail about how into Cat really is in kind, Tamyra says she is attracted to women but I'm not sure to what degree). If you choose the Cat option just ask Tam, but I'm like 90% sure she'll be down.

>>10574

Hope you don't mind a few tools as I picked a few out for use on the poor girl.

>>10579

Looking forward to see what you thought up!

>>10572

This is Trey.

Just for the record, I'm fine with almost any derivative work. It'd be nice to be contacted if someone wanted to ask on specifics before using me in a pic, though, or if reference pics are needed.

>>10584

Hoping to see a rough sketch this evening while at work. Was worried I freaked her out with my detailed reference pdf, but I didn't, which is good since getting super detail oriented with people who don't inherently get it is a bit of a difficult prospect.

>>10596

Yeah I never want someone to be surprised with overly sexual material of "them" without permission.

>>10601

Dude her big money comes furry porn, she's well prepared for whatever sick bullshit you could think up.

>>10603

I didn't figure her for a prude, but still, I'm used to speaking with artists about this and for us to understand the language and the nuances of it. That sounds real dumb, but there's a difference between having this in your blood and not.

I doubt this ranks up there high with what she's done in the past, but for some damn reason, I feel like there is this weird prudishness in tickle art that my tastes are swimming upstream against.

>>10605

It's a good habit to get into for sure, like with the video shoots I do I always come at it as though I'm describing the most mundane, business-type bullshit and asking about comfort levels and all that sht repeatedly to the point of what I'm sure is obnoxiousness, but I'd much rather annoy them with permission repeatedly than be "the creepy footfucker man with the camera from Craigslist".

Same way with art, god knows how many people ticklefags have ran off already.

>>10603

Yeah I can see how that could be awkward, but as long as it was tickle related, I think I'd be cool with any kind of art of myself, heh. Eventually I'll have to get to talking to her myself, I love her art.

>>10932

He seems to be unpopular around here but I do dig the way he does humans. Cartoony, but appealing.

>>10934

he's not unpopular, there's like one cunt here who's always bitching that he draws ponies.

>>10935

Here's your reply.

>>10935

You seem upset. His ponies ARE shit and how he draws them is shit. No im not that cunt you called that guy because obviously more than one person think the same.

>>10935

I don't care a whole lot for his art style. More than that though, I don't care for when he does combined streams with other artists since more often than not he finds some reason to spout off his personal opinions about the US.

>>10949

Caroo hates freedom?!

>>10949

oh, boo fucking hoo, politics and school shootings

shut up and fap

>>10941

I seem upset? not the people who bitch about ponies every time someone posts caroo?

shit, I had no idea, better reflect on my poor life choices.

>>10951

>oh, boo fucking hoo, politics and school shootings

If it was just that I wouldn't give a shit, but it's annoying when he would seemingly bring stuff up based on what he has read, with no indication that he has actually visited the US.

>shut up and fap

Nah, I'm not a furry and as I noted his art style doesn't really appeal to me at all. The only reason I've heard him speak is because the streams of artists I was watching were doing a multistream with him.

>>11026

I'm digging it.

>>11285

THE RIDE NEVER ENDS

I do appreciate Kate tickling though, I feel like she's been very underappreciated despite being a very sweet, likable character

>>11292

I like to do themes in bursts of 3, after this I'll leave the LiS stuff alone for a bit. But the Marshmellow needed some attention.

>>11311

I'm digging it, but I'm gonna be that guy and point out it looks like he just used a vector for both sets of feet and now that's all I can focus on.

Whose idea was the little puppet using strings to hold the toes back? That's actually a really neat idea I've never seen before.

>>11312

That was my idea actually!

I'm surprised it's not an idea that's used more to be honest. It's a rather cool one.

>>11313

Props to you!

>>12084

That everything else in the picture is done so well only makes the foot being tickled look worse.

>>12103

Oh yeah, I totally understand that feet are hard to draw. I just find it kind of weird, funny, and a little disappointing that artists will put so much effort into making the rest of a picture look great and then just rush the feet, assuming they just don't cover them up. Guess they're at least partially correct in that most people won't be looking there or care, but still.

I've seen the opposite you've talked about to an extent too, though I don't think people who can do both well are super rare.

Wakfu does have some decent feet, not surprised that the artist is proficient considering the Sadida seem to go entirely barefoot and there is another race that seemingly only wears sandals.

Funnily enough, I can't recall Amalia having any blatant foot scenes, then again I only watched the first season.

>>12112

>>12110

I really like this guy, i think he gets looked over for being too 'overtly cartoony' but I think he's top notch.

>>12115

Me personally, it just looks really odd. I can't say for sure if it's specifically the "overly cartoony" aspect of it, since there are a lot of artists that I do like that have cartoon-like styles. But for w/e reason, I've never been a fan of this guy's stuff.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

>>12119

I have to agree to most of what you say, but even if the situations he draws with his own characters can be nice. I felt that when he tries to make specific characters, something is off.

For instance, for the Fate pictures at >>12110

I couldn't even recognise the characters at all until a friend asked me "is that really Rin Tohasa?" then I was surprise at realising she's supossed, to be but still…

>>12121

That's my fault, I asked him if he could draw Rin, but he doesn't like anime so I told him to draw her in his own style.

I like the drawing though, even if she looks very different than Rin in the series

>>12121

Holy shit I didn't even realize those were Fate characters until reading that LOL

>>12084

I think we need to stage an intervention for you buddy.

>>12124

Not now not ever.

But I'm done with LiS for now, I tend not hammer the same theme or characters in the ground, I like to do around 3 (maaaaaaaybe 4 if an artist is particularly good) and move on. But with LiS shit was too perfect; game about a school full of catty hipster girls? C'mon, shit writes itself.

>>12123

Same

>>12300

Have to concur with this. I've seen some good works come from people whose main forte wasn't fetish work.

>>12300

I tend to agree. Though by the same token, it's generally a good idea to keep it relatively simple. Like whenever I commission an artist for the first time, I always try to keep it simple just to see what they can do. Then if they show me that they can handle my "usual" workload, then I can give them more complex stuff.

>>12352

Komori's art style is adorable, her feet just need a little bit of work.

Can't argue with more Borderlands art since it does have some nice looking girls.

While stocks aren't something I'd expect to see in Borderlands, I can't help but like the set here due to its makeshift construction. Maya and Lillith's wrist restraints apparently being connected and the weight system attached to them is a cool detail. Like the choice of different toe ties and their footwear being present too.

>>3263

Just a head's up for potential future commissioners, CEFlex/ PromoArts is back under the name Aut0save. Only posting because he's notoriously unreliable, and it looks like rather than honoring his previous commitments as he avowed he would, he's flaked on them and tried to start again - so if and when he inevitably offers commissions, don't take them.

>>12373

It's definitely him. I calmly called him out on it and he blocked me :^(

Just as anon says, don't commission him. He WILL take the money and run

>>12430

Quality stuff

>>12732

Holy hell, top notch.

>>12520

ooh, digging that first and last one's art styles

>>12732

WOW

>>12732

Pretty nice, lots of great detail.

>>13117

I like the amount of thought you put into these ideas and the inspiration that you drew from the source material, good stuff.
