Illustrator and Character Designer
Please contact me on Twitter for questions.
Hello!
You can call me Cake or Cek!
I'm a freelance artist based in Australia, hoping to make a career out of my art.
I'm extremely socially reserved and terrible with interaction, but I cannot express enough how much I appreciate every ounce of support I receive - you guys are helping me to achieve my dream, and for that I cannot thank you all enough.

F.A.Q
Q: What program do you use?
Clip Studio Paint.
Q: What tablet do you use?
Wacom Intuos Pro Large (2014). Currently learning to use a Huion Kamvas Pro 16 too.
Q: What brushes do you use?
You can download my brushes HERE.
I use 'colour' and 'sketchingpencil' for my colouring. All the 'line' brushes I use differently depending on the weight/look I want for the piece.
I occasionally use brushes from Frenden's Brush Pack too.
Q: How can I commission you?
Most of my commissions will be purely application based! When I open, I will provide a link for interested clients to send in applications, and once closed I will review them all and choose a few!
Openings will always be posted on my Twitter.
Q: When do you open commissions?
Unfortunately there are no set dates for when I open commissions! While I'm still developing my art, commissions can overwhelm me quickly and as such I avoid taking too many. In the future I hope to be able to take a steady stream of commission work.
Q: How do your design sales work?
Designs are all posted to my Twitter. To claim, you will be required to fill out a Google Form (as Twitter isn't trustworthy with DMs/replies). Watch closely for the opening time, and claim fast!
(You can view an example claim form HERE)
Q: Do you have a Patreon?
Not yet! But I plan to create one once I'm sure I'll be able to use it frequently enough.
Q: When did you start drawing?
I have always doodled since I was a little kid! I started digital art around 2012 as a hobby, but only around 2020 did I start drawing more seriously.
Q: Do you take requests?
Unfortunately not! The only free art I do is for friends and through giveaways!
Q: Can I use your art/characters?
No. Both my artwork and characters are 100% off limits for use without my permission.
Q: Can I draw your characters?
Of course!! My characters can be found on my ToyHouse.
Q: I tagged you and you didn't respond?
I very rarely participate in tags (ex. 'post your art and tag 3 friends to do the same'), just because I'm far too socially anxious ;; so please do not take it personally!
Q: You haven't responded to my DM?
If I haven't responded to a DM, it's either because your question is already answered here, or just because I've forgotten - please do poke me again if this is the case!
Q: Why don't you reply/interact more?
Unfortunately, being so antisocial and socially anxious, I can't spend too long on social media before I'm exhausted. For this reason, I'm never terribly active anywhere online. But I do still deeply appreciate all the support I receive!
Q: Why are you following this person? They are troublesome!
I'm not active enough on social media to keep tabs on everyone. If I'm following anyone with a bad rep (homo/transphobia, racism, zoos, pedos, etc) then please let me know so I can block them instead!
Q: I found someone tracing/copying/stealing your work/characters! What do I do?
Please do not harass or approach them. DM me the info and I will handle it myself.
Comm Info
Commission status: Slot openings ONLY
Commissions will be available through slot openings only, which will primarily be posted to my Twitter. You will be required to fill out a google form to request a commission. After applications have closed, I will sort through all forms and select a few in accordance to my number of slot openings at that time.
They are not first come first serve!
All prices and info can be found in the document below.
My Characters
My OCs have been with me for over 9 years now and mean the world to me. They have grown and continue to grow alongside myself, and are held so dearly to my heart.
You are more than welcome to draw them in any SFW content.
I DO NOT allow my OCs to be used by anyone else, RP or otherwise.
Please DO NOT copy my OCs or ask me to sell them;
they are my babies and I'm taking them to the grave.
If you see them used by anyone other than myself, they have been stolen.
