Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm here to get art for my story I've been working on for over 15 years now. I'm looking to expand my "Buggy Universe" with my ocs both in their own worlds and in the "alternate world." I have a cast of various unique people in my story that appear in all kinds of sizes. From a very small bugman who loves feet a little too much, to several "average girls" that become giants towering over cities in another world in some other universe trying to protect that world in their own ways.

I've been very sick at times as of late and I want my world to expand in the art realm and have dedicated myself to finding artists that can help me achieve my vision. I'm very particular in the styles I'd like to buy and what artists I'm looking for. This is not exclusive though as I do take orders from artists still learning the ropes as well as different styles. From semi-realism to anime, manga and more. I'm mostly window shopping for people that are willing to indulge me in my quest to bring my universe to life in art.

What I'm looking for from artists:
I'm particularly looking for artists that can draw anything up to and including full bodies and (specifically when required for Full Body art) Feet particularly well. (the more detail in these the better)

I'm interested in both SFW and NSFW art!
Don't post any nsfw here, contact me over pm and ask for my discord to show and offer these to me directly. Aside from that, generally just link me to your samples and I will look over them to review them also. Also the more creative you are on poses/ideas for size based, perspective and pov (point of view) art, the more likely I'll commission from you. (perhaps multiple times if the first ones come out really good) >w<

Also seeking skilled artists in drawing backgrounds/objects of various kinds. From average sized basic backgrounds and objects, micro/tiny environments (examples: views from the dirt & giant blades of grass, tiny tops of rug fibers, up-close wood floors or other small/micro perspective views) to entire buildings & cities and even humongous landmasses in great detail). The more skilled I see from your samples, the more likely I'll order art from you.

I may not respond to every poster here as I can't order from everyone but I will take a look at every person's post at some point. Also I'm typically quite busy as I'm still recovering from sicknesses and other stressful events & time consuming things throughout my days. I have a lot to rebuild from my life these past few years. I'll directly respond to most posters via pm or post when I feel like the thread needs a bump (or simply straight up commission you directly on your thread outright) if your style and samples capture my eyes. Be prepared for unique pose ideas, unusual backgrounds and (sometimes) really pervy art ideas if I choose you. By posting here you're willing to accept this.

Current budget: Semi-Unlimited but in bursts. (may pause for a while and put you on a "waiting to buy" list at times)

Buying status: Currently Buying
(Looking for more art!)

Here's what I'm looking for from artists that may push me to heavily consider you:
~ HQ Anime & Manga / Manhwa Styles

~ Solo. Couples, Trios up to Multiple OCs! (I will have a cast of 13 giant ladies at some point so variety in numbers of people in a single art piece may come up fairly soon. lol)

~ Will seek either SFW, Suggestive & NSFW works with ability to handle many types of relationships (I have Straight, Bi, GL, BL, Yuri and Yaoi relationships in my stories thus far and I do happen to deal with fetish material. You have been warned before trying to commission me if you are skilled in these kind of arts. Will discuss many of these specifically over discord or other messaging platforms like twitter/bluesky/tumblr and more or something like that if possible.)

~ Blood, Gore & Messy skilled artists can apply here too. I do deal with some rather tight spaces and giant people, so things might happen to people... yanno? sweatdrop

~ Can accept some Skeb/Surprise me & Custom ideas. (open to accepting artists' ideas but I have final say if I go for these)

~ Able to do Human & Furry art (I have one furry oc and may have non human guests visiting as well.)

~ If you can do Furry art, the more anime-ish style you can produce, the higher chance I will accept your commissions outright. If you can mix types between Furry and Human even better as my cast has at least 1 furry member in it and they interact with more human (or human like creatures)

~ YCH (will only consider them in certain situation designs that match my OC's stories and mannerisms)

~ Semi-Realism (I won't take these often but at times I do consider these based on the style. Ask anyway!)

~ Feet. I won't disqualify you from commissions if you cannot draw feet but the amount of times I may do so will drastically be reduced due to my nature of loving them. I do have non-foot based ideas and your style may fit into that category as well. Just don't expect more than a few commissions unless I get more of a need of non-full body material art like headshots or quick arts for a story moment. (doesn't happen too often)

~ I mainly seek Full Renders, down to Flat Colored. Sometimes will I accept based on looks: Line art and very detailed Sketches (rarely simple sketches)

You may ask first but very likely I might not hire you:
~ Chibis (Sorry & I'm aware this place is typically flooded with chibi art but I rarely need chibi art. I'd rather come to other threads for these if the desire arises.)

-[old intro]-

Imagine our world, where a 1 inch tall bugman exists. Tiny and super cute/cool, he loves to make people happy and likes being close to people's feet. It may seem odd for a normal being of that size to want to hang close to normal sized people as tiny ones like myself could be flattened, Buggy is anything but normal.

His body feels as it's made of rubber. He's nearly indestructible, he'll pop right back up if flattened. For as long as he can remember he's always has been attracted to people and most importantly their feet. As for why, it's mainly all he ever sees of people so he just got used to it. Even as he has a soft spot for them, he won't say no to snuggling up with anyone as long as they are nice to him. If they have feet/paws/etc. he'll typically be seen around them.



-Stats-
Name: Lawrence Bugman [Has no official last name but adopted bugman for simplicity.]

Personality: Shy and extremely nice. Craves to hug,kiss or be close to feet as much as possible. Gives shiny coins to those who spend time to draw me with a style that captures me. 3nodding

(Yes I know it's a tiny bit blurry in spots but it's for compression to fit toyhouse's 4mb upload limit - a clearer full size image will be provided if I get a commission from you and we talk over discord! `w`)


More detailed stats:
Consider me easy to draw since at only one inch tall, I'd fit almost anywhere you could imagine! Sitting on your hand, peeking out of your pocket, on the top of your head, squishing me underfoot, eating a really big cookie crumb or many other places a bug usually hangs around or ends up. Be creative with it and put me anywhere you'd like!

While I accept art of any tiny sized situations or simple drawn art overall, I just happen to be a bugman that loves feet a lot. So if you can make art of me admiring toes, next to the side of the foot, about to be squished by them, climbing up one or anything else involving feet, I'd be super happy. biggrin


Some drawn references/art made for me/Full Buggy's Story:

Click this link to my toyhouse page above for more images relating to buggy as imgur is no longer suitable for my image housing needs. (While I am able to use imgur cause I'm in the US, I know about the whole UK age BS law and it sucks cause of the ramifications it's doing to the web. I want everyone to see my wonderful arts... weh.)

Fun stuff

Here's a small section of my thread that might keep people (artists and also visitors) coming back for more. (...or not, I'm not the boss of you. lol)

I am on a quest of someday becoming a music producer. It sounds daunting even for myself but I am determined to do something meaningful before my time is up. In that sense, I'm totally about listening to all styles of music. Particularly of the likes of pounding beats and generally harder/louder/faster styles of music. I'm open to a long list of music types but here's where I'll generally post a couple of videos to motivate people to draw me if at all possible. (These videos will rotate somewhat often as I request more and more art on this thread over time.)

I tend to find providing music to people as they draw me, a good motivator to not only do as well as they can but also they may become interested in discovering more of these types of music if at all possible by seeking them out. The songs I pick may not be for everyone but for those that do like it, please seek out more if you wish to. They are quite nice and good for a bouncy time. `w`

Opened once again! Tell me your ideas and I'll consider them for a commission!

Congrats on the verification!
I do like what I saw and thought up something nice to bring a bit more detail to one of my ocs. May wanna check your vgen when you can. `w`
