LoreParmenter's Carrd

Luke | He/Xe/It | 20

Hello!
I'm an American freelancer, currently exploring digital art and web design. Check out my pronouns page page to learn more about the queer side of my identity.Worldbuilding is my passion, and storytelling is my song.
I love creating deep settings, intertwining my characters with a combination of fantasy and sci-fi aspects. Creating species is my specialty—I always end up spending a lot of extra time on species.

More About Me: Christianity, Monsters, & Cats

I'm a queer Christian.
I don't talk about my religious beliefs much, but I feel it's important enough to mention. I'm not going to argue about my identity nor my beliefs, but I will bring up one thing:
I am vehemently against the way organized Christianity has weaponized the Word to hurt so many people, but that doesn't mean Christians are inherently evil. If you can't tolerate beliefs different than your own, you're not inherently better than those who don't tolerate your beliefs.I don't condone forcefeeding or manipulating people into religious beliefs.
I'm sorry if that's been your experience.
I'm sorry if someone has used Christianity to hurt you in any way.Please move forward—if not for yourself and your friends/family, then to spite those who have harmed you. Live a life that is happy and full, whatever that looks like for you.A special note for religious queer folk: being gay or trans or whatever is not a sin! Free yourself from the lies spread by the hateful and those too engrained in tradition. The Human Rights Campaign has some great resources on queerness and religion (not just Christianity), please check them out when you have time.

Christianity & Homosexuality
Christianity & being Transgender or Non-binary

I really really love monsters.
Scary monsters, friendly monsters, monstrous monsters and not-so-monstrous monsters... you could say I'm obsessed with the concept. Horror is also a major interest for me, but I'm still dipping my toes into the more popular content.
If you have any recommendations, DM me on discord!

I've been a cat person my whole life.
I'm a dad of four right now: Pixie and Catrina (4), Crash (8), and Bella (15).

Pixie rolling around in a patch of grass. She's a small, silver cat with a fluffy white belly and faint tabby markings.

Catrina snoozing peacefully in a garden. She's a small, silver cat with faint tabby markings.

Bella and Crash curled up on two blankets. Bella is a fluffy light brown cat with lynx point markings. Crash is a plain gray cat.

The commissioner may pay an extra 100% for the completed artwork to be available for commercial use. This additional payment may be requested at any time.
1b. Proper credit will always be required when the image is shared publicly, including if the image is altered in any way. Properly crediting me counts as using my moniker “LoreParmenter”, using my discord username “LoreParmenter#8071”, and/or linking my ToyHouse account.
1c. Any images, characters, or otherwise artwork I create can not be used for, associated with, or involved with non-fungible tokens (NFT), cryptocurrency, other blockchain-related technology, artwork generated by artificial intelligence (AI), and anything else highly disputed in the art community unless otherwise explicitly stated by me.... 2.) Payment

2b. All commissions are to be paid through Paypal, unless otherwise specified. If the commissioner does not have access to Paypal, they may request to pay through Venmo or Cashapp. If these options are still not accessible for the commissioner, they may inquire about other payment options. Gift cards will not be accepted as payment.
2c. All prices are subject to change. If I change a price after a commission has been accepted, the commissioner will not need to pay a different amount than previously agreed.... 3.) Process
3a. I will send the commissioner a message when I begin their commission. The commission will be completed and sent to the commissioner as a high-resolution Portable Network Graphics (PNG) file within two weeks after this notice is sent. If I fail to meet this time limit or am unable to meet it, I will contact the commissioner to further discuss the state of the commission.
3b. Work in progress (WIP) images will be given at the end of each phase (sketching, line art, color, shading). Otherwise, they will only be given if I need further clarification or the commissioner requests it.
3c. Requests for major edits will only be fulfilled in the sketch phase, that is, before I begin the line art. Requests for minor edits will only be fulfilled in or before the coloring phase, that is, before shading.
3d. For general artwork, the commissioner must send me the following information: the type of artwork they want commissioned (e.g. colored half body); an image portraying the character(s) being drawn; a description of the pose, scene, and background, if applicable; and any other relevant details, such as a specific color palette.
3e. For reference sheets of pre-existing characters, the commissioner must send me the following information: which views they want of the character (e.g. front and back, front and face close-up); an image portraying the full body of the character being drawn; a description of the pose or personality of the character, otherwise the character will be drawn in a flat A-pose; and any other relevant details, such as specific items the commissioner wants drawn as a close-up, if the character’s name is to be on the reference, the color or transparency of the background, etc.
3f. For custom characters, the commissioner must send a description of the character being created. Commissions sent with the following information are more likely to be accepted than those without: a mood board; an aesthetic; an outfit; and/or a list of things the commissioner likes and dislikes in a character.... 4.)

5b. The commissioner has the right to use the original character to promote themselves, an original story, or anything else, if they are not profiting off of the character, and proper credit for the original design is given to me. The only exception for being unable to profit off the character is if they pay an additional 100% for commercial rights on the character. This additional payment may be requested at any time.
5c. The commissioner has the right to create an original reference sheet for the character that displays the same design or an updated version of their design, as long as the new reference sheet is completely original, doesn't use any of my artwork from the original commission, and is still recognizable as the original character.
