Thorns coms! <3
Hi! My name is ThornInYourSide — or just Thorn. Im a trans disabled artist residing in Aotearoa New Zealand with a huge passion for character design and a love for fandom.I will only ever take on four commissions at a time to ensure I don't burn out and my current clients don't have a long turnaround time. That being said, I have a private wait-list for anyone interested!

✅ I WILL DRAW
Fanart, ships, OCs, furry, humanoid, feral, mecha, armor, gore, NSFW, and more! Feel free to check. I can dabble in kink artwork, but it depends on the kink and my comfortability. Please don't be ashamed to ask what qualifies!
❌ I WON'T DRAW
Fandoms and ships that make me uncomfortable, underage, non-con, "dead dove" content, pro-ship/dark-ship works, and bigotry of any kind. I will not draw for pro-shippers, either.
