Busy finishing off some commissions so i haven’t been that active on here recently. I have some sketches that i will release once these commissions are done and a interactive game of my own to do with will be Fairy Tail based with the goal of getting Gajeel to Levy and fucking the info out of anyone on the way. But more of that will be explained once the game is started. D
There’s been a lot of posts going around lately about Paypal and their policy on fees, and I’ve seen a lot of people suggesting you move to invoices. What you might not realise unless you have a closer look at these payments once you receive them, is that Paypal is expecting you to ship an item. This remains the same regardless of whether you use the default form, the ‘services’ form and charge by the hour, and whether you put 0.00 in the postage section.
After a call to customer service this morning, I have confirmed there is actually no option on invoices for a seller to indicate that postage is not required if you are invoicing from the main paypal website (ie. you don’t do paypal checkout through your website, there may be a work around if you have a purchase button on your website, which isn’t entirely practical for commissions as prices can often vary and most do payments through the site directly). This means that if you don’t provide shipping / tracking information on that payment, Paypal may freeze the funds and/or your account.
Apparently the way to avoid this is to include in the notes section of the invoice that the invoice is for goods and services, and that no shipping is required.
They also said that the buyer should indicate in the notes when they pay that they have received the goods/service, however this is going to cause issues with commissions as most are either paid upfront or partway through.
If anyone has any further solution to this, reblog and or message me, but otherwise this has been a PSA about Paypal invoicing. Seller beware.
Guys the struggle is real and I am learning this now. Make sure you write that your goods are digital in your invoices so your account does not freeze.
The way I manage my invoices isn’t just to specify under the note,
But also to choose this option when the payment has been sent and the commission has been completed
So it can be counted as complete.
Seriously guys spread this, we all know invoices are safer but honestly I didn’t know about this really important step. This needs more notes
Suuuper useful. I’m an idiot who was stuck waiting for payment a month later
FYI TO ARTISTS AND THOSE WHO USE PAYPAL FOR COMMISSIONS
i didnt go to sleep until 11am this morning so as a consequence i woke up at 7pm. i will be drawing at some pretty anti social hours this time so expect some super late uploads.
on the menus is:
closing pic for kunoichi nightmare game
giving the tumblr fans some more action from the game
some irene stuff for whentai
some sketch work with colour pencils.
also i’m thinking of getting into more fairy tail. my personal fave is irene but form a pure perverted disturbed part of humanity perspective, the obvious business choice is mavis vermillion as she is over and under the age limit at the same time kinda like marie rose or i could just focus on erza.
so do you guys want to see some fairys get destroyed? im talking “ toilet seat around their neck while getting facials “ type destroyed. let me know.

ya boy death the kid signing off until the next update.
we have a new tier for pledges on our patreon. while we allow everybody patron or not to view our works one way or another. this new tier gives the higher spending patron a bit more without restricting what the lower spending patron may see.
hope you are all having a great sunday. i had a dream that katrina jade was my wifey so i woke up later than usual. i don’t know what this dream means….maybe i should draw goth chicks?
i dunno
but moving onto reality. gonna be some more kunoichi nightmare, shinobi empire and i also must start my first attempt at colouring a full pic on computer.
Damn why you fucking must draw fucking bee fuck Hinata? he is clownish and good role, but not suitable for appearing in porn, by the way, your composition and content is boring, totally not some new creative? shit.
Here just for you. Hinata and Bee are quite a happy family. Enjoy. - Studio Oppai
P.s. I won’t be replying again. Every time you get mad just think about this picture.
patreon is acting up so round four may get pushedback until tomorrow unless it lets me make a post anytime soon. when it does i’ll sent out the news as per usual.
on other news. still gotta do tifa x red, problem is that i can’t find my panels for it. i have stacks of paper, books and ring binders everywhere. shinobi empire will be premiering soon. i have found a technique which may mean i can do the whole thing in colour by hand. this will give D more freedom to pursue his own projects and also develop himself as an artist. art can really eat up you r motivation quickly but i’m determined to carry on.
quite a busy day today. gotta do a piece for a good friend of mine who doesn’t know i do hentai yet although i am tempted to tell him as his requests would be regarded as a fetish so in theory he really should be using the commission service but then my secret hentai career would be revealed…..these are the perils of being a hentai artist.
for tumblr i still got to complete tifa x red plus a few requests made ages ago. the gangbang royale and shinobi empire are also needing attention.
for patreon we gotta finish our last poll piic as well as start a new poll. just waiting on the last player to choose his path on kunoichi nightmare before i can start posting results. there will be a few shocks for the players.
there is also sketch commission that needs urgent attention as well as potentially another surprise so just to give a rough idea of what is coming over the next few days:
1. create new poll
2. sketch commission
3. red x tifa
4. a nice surprise if it goes well.
5. the cover for kunoichi nightmare redrawn.
these are my immediate priorities. D will be colouring castle kumoskull so he may be tied up for a few weeks but we’ll still try to keep the entertainment going.
