Hello! I'm Skoryx, a digital artist with an oryx mascot. This website is for viewing my Portfolio, Commission options, and Terms of Service.My last commission opening was July 1st, 2025.Future openings:
- Commissions will reopen for exactly one day: November 8th, 2025.

MEET THE ARTIST
I'm Skoryx, an ornithologist, biologist, and digital artist! Skoryx, my art mascot, is a male gemsbok with glasses. I'm a busy master's student and I enjoy drawing cartoons and animals in my free time.
I have been drawing digitally since 2011 and have used the same tools --PaintTool SAI and a Wacom Bamboo Create tablet-- since then. My traditional tools of the trade are Copic and Posca markers, watercolors, and pen and ink.You can view my work on several websites. When I'm not working or drawing, I enjoy birdwatching, collecting bugs, and cooking spicy food. I love any opportunity there is to nerd out about birds!

Terms of Service

Below are my Terms of Service (TOS): rules for ordering art from me.
My TOS covers: (1) what I can draw, (2) how to order something, and (3) art usage rules.
Please read the TOS carefully before commissioning me!


What can I draw?

  • Humans, humanoids

  • Anthros, furries

  • Animals, ferals

  • Original, fandom, and canon characters

  • Characters without existing references

  • Gore

  • Artistic nudity

  • Kink-friendly or suggestive, yet SFW, subjects

  • NSFW content, which includes pornography and extreme fetishes

  • Intricate robots, weapons, and armor

If there is anything I didn't mention, please ask.


Ordering process

  • Interested in a commission? You can inquire at any of my listed contacts. Please describe the type of art you want, send references, and other applicable information.

  • Turnaround times vary. Compared to other artists, I am slow. Generally, I try to finish smaller pieces (<$50) within a month and larger pieces (>$75) within three months. Check my art queue for updates.

  • Depending on the art type and your preference, I may share works-in-progress (WIPs). Minor edits (e.g., pose change during the sketch phase, color adjustment) are usually free. Major edits (e.g., pose change during the coloring phase, changing outfits, special variations) will have a fee.

  • Then, I will embark on an art journey and deliver to you a unique piece of art, drawn with love!

Payment

  • Payment is expected upfront or by the rough sketch stage. Partial payments are OK. I accept Paypal, Venmo, and payments through Ko-Fi.

  • Full refunds can be requested before or at the rough sketch stage. Partial refunds could be given during later stages. If I cannot complete a commission for any reason, I will issue a full refund.

  • There are no refunds after a piece is completed.

  • Tips are always appreciated and help out a hungry college student: me!


Art usage

  • I may post WIPs and finished commissions online. Upon request, I can keep commissions private.

  • I watermark my art. Non-watermarked versions can be provided upon request.

  • You can do practically whatever you want with the result! Repost it, print it out, put it on a t-shirt, make your own edits, etc. However, my art is only for personal use, not commercial use.

  • Credit is not required when reposting or sharing, but do not claim that you created it.

  • I love seeing what people do with my art! Feel free to share your creations. =:D

  • Please do not use my art to train AI or create NFTs. I know I can't stop anyone who wants to, but I ask nicely because it hurts artists like me.

Digital art

  • These are my main commission offerings. Reference sheets and badges are located on different tabs on my website.

  • Extra characters in the same drawing are +50% per character unless otherwise noted. Simple characters (e.g., pets) are +25% each.

  • Minor things such as small animals, props, and accessories are usually included. Complicated character designs, clothing, or weapons may cost extra.

  • Simple backgrounds (e.g., patterns, photos, simple scenes) are usually included. Complex backgrounds, scenes, and layout design will be extra.

  • Anything NSFW will have a 20% upcharge.

  • Art may be completed skeb-style (no WIPs provided) for a 20% off discount.

  • A reminder: I can draw humans, too! The majority of my clients have fantasy or furry characters, so those dominate my examples.

$30 covers about an hour of sketching. I can complete more sketches when only a single character is featured. Introducing multiple characters eats up a lot of my time.


Don't forget to check out the "reference sheets" and "badges" tabs for more digital options!

Reference sheets

  • A basic reference sheet includes 1 full-body, 1 bust, and 1 close-up, plus simple details.

  • All reference sheets are digitally drawn and unshaded. In case your character's design changes, unlimited edits for up to a year are included.

  • I use the terms clean and normal interchangeably to describe the same style. All listed prices are for my clean style.

  • You may expand your ref sheet with additional views, poses, outfits, etc.

Base price+Full-body+Bust+Chibi full-body+Chibi bust+Close-ups
$50+$30+$15+$15+$10+$5 and up

Ref sheets and add-ons in my sketch or doodley style are half off clean style prices.




Traditional art

  • Below are my traditional commission offerings. They are priced more cheaply than my digital art because they are more prone to errors. Plus, they're a nice break for my eyes.

  • Extra characters in the same drawing are +50% per character unless otherwise noted. Simple characters (e.g., pets) are +25% each.

  • Simple backgrounds (e.g., solid colors, patterns, simple scenes) are usually included. Complex backgrounds and scenes will be extra.

  • Anything NSFW will have a 20% upcharge.

  • Art may be completed skeb-style (no WIPs provided) for a 20% off discount.

  • Any edits that are not possible traditionally (e.g., changing a character's colors) can be done digitally.


Pay what you want, minimum $1A simple ink doodle on a random sticky note.I'll try my best to accommodate note color requests.

Acrylic paint on a 4 x 6 shipping label.
This piece of art doubles as a sticker!
Since details are harder to add, I may simplify complex characters.Slap art may also be painted on Bristol paper instead of a shipping label (but then you can't slap the art anywhere.)


  • I am happy to ship any physically made piece of art, whether that is an original piece or a printed copy of a digital work.

  • For $5, any art can be made into a print, a sticker, or laminated.

  • Any edits that are not possible traditionally (e.g., changing a character's colors) can be done digitally.

  • I do not give refunds once artwork is completed. If art gets lost in the mail, I don't offer refunds, but I will try to provide a replacement if I can.

Badge commissions

  • I get asked about badges often, so I decided to make a separate page for them.

  • Base prices are for the artwork only, with lamination and shipping add-ons. Digital badges can be made double-sided if your character is symmetrical.

  • Lamination will be $5 per badge unless otherwise noted. If you have artwork already and just want a lamination service, I can laminate anything for $5.

  • Shipping is about $6 within the USA unless otherwise noted. At this time I cannot ship internationally, sorry!

  • Badges can be made any size, up to 8.5 x 11 inches. They can be shipped with badge clips upon request.

This is my digital portfolio, showcasing some of my favorite works and showing how my art style has progressed over the years! I used to post everything I created to DeviantArt. For a while, that site housed my portfolio, but I have since left the site. It is difficult to represent a whole year with just a few images out of hundreds I may have created, and it doesn't represent every aspect of my career as an artist.I haven't found a good alternative to DeviantArt to showcase all of my work, so for the time being, I tried to pick out some of my favorite pieces from each year. There are a lot of images on this page, so please be patient while they load.


2025
I moved to Alaska to attend grad school. I'm studying ornithology so I'm trying to draw more birds.


2024
I attended my second artist alley at AnEx. I also bought tons of new traditional art supplies, including hundreds of Copics and Posca pens!


2023
This was a great year! I participated in Art Fight, had my first artist alley table, tried Copic markers for the first time, and offered sketchpages as a new commission option. I also created a fursuit!


2022
I didn't draw nearly as much since I was busy with my senior year of college, but I found inspiration in nature and biology to fuel some of my art.


2021
Not a super productive year since I was busy working two jobs and was super depressed, but I cranked out a few things!


2020
Not the most productive year since I was battling depression and mitigating COVID while still in school.


2019
I was pretty busy with school but found time to draw occasionally!


2018
I introduced my "doodley" art style to the world!


2017
A great year for creating art! Unfortunately, I continued to underprice my work and wound up taking on a project with 42 raccoons at $5 a fullbody.


2016
To celebrate hitting 2,000 watchers on DeviantArt, I took over 100 free art requests. Later that year, I opened my Etsy shop and began selling physical art like buttons, stickers, and badges.


2015
I dabbled with some new software and learned to use Emofuri. I also made several models in MMD.


2014
I offered commissions for the first time on DeviantArt! I also learned how to do pixel art. When I hit 1,000 watchers on Deviantart, I offered 100 free chibis/pixel dolls/busts to celebrate.


2013
Switched from Sumo Paint to Paint Tool Sai. I finally learned what layers were!

2012 and before
I got my first drawing tablet in 2011 and started drawing in MS Paint, later switching to Sumo Paint. I also worked off of a lot of bases.
