I am Carol_dronthey/them

• Back

You can refer to me as Carol (Caroline/Carol_dron), Keyie (Keymagen) or Liya (Liya_lord). I'm also known as TheRealGuard (TRG).
My birthday is August 22nd. Funny test on the internet said that I'm INTJ-T. My gender is female, but any other pronouns are perfectly fine. I like dragons/lizards; guinea pigs; military; modern history, e.g.: 1880-1980, reading about wars, technological progress, people; vintage; computers: programming, repairing/disassembling.
I have this thing. And this thing has me.
━━━━━
I'm an English speaker, but can also understand and, in some cases, speak many other languages, such as: Russian, Ukrainian, Tatar, Spanish and French (Reunionese Creole). Please note, I always use punctuation and this can sometimes come out as rudeness or grumpiness, although it is my goal to always try to be as welcome and open-minded as possible.
Besides all that, I'm a serious person and will not tolerate too much off-topic stuff. I'm not an extravert by any means, thus if you ever decided to chat with me - do not expect me to talk to you daily or even hourly.
There is no specific "Do Not Interact" list, just be respectful and adequate.
━━━━━
I'm a self-taught artist, linguist and photographer. Wikipediaworm (history, military, politicians). Gamer, if you will.
My favorite games are Minecraft, Terraria, Don't Starve Together, Rusty Lake franchise, Sid Meier's Civilization VI and so on.
I enjoy listening to music. I like metal, rock, electro and phonk, my favorite artists are Lorn and Rammstein! I also take random photos of nature and abandoned things.
━━━━━
These are my main original characters (in order, old icons):

Zentex | Male

A big grey western dragon with orange belly, bright yellow eyes and huge wings. He has a pointed muzzle, fang-like spikes on his upper jaw and long ears. Zentex's wings are also arms, he basically has two arms and four legs.Can morph into his anthro appearance, in which he does not have wings, but has freckles and scars. Yes, that is all that changes besides his body.

Zentex was created in February 2014 by me.

Kelvy was created in July 2019 by me.

Kelvy | Female

Anthro blue anole with monolid, chartreuse colored eyes and a beak. Xylor (preferred nickname of hers) has special powers, through which she can obtain horns and wings. Kelvy has a husband and one kid. Lives a pretty ordinary life.Has an additional feral appearance, thus drawing her as a literal lizard/dragon is still canon.

Keymagen | Female

Aquatic dragon with long, slim dark grey body and blue fins. She has two square crystals between eyes, two straight blue horns and one small horn on her nose. Keymagen has two fang-like spikes on each side of her jaws, very similar to Zentex's. There is also a big fin along her spine, which helps dwell in the deep way swifter. Sometimes can be seen looking through glass objects and even wearing glasses, as her vision is not the best.

Keymagen was created in October 2016 by me.

Read the following before commissioning

You must have Discord in order to contact me further into commissioning.━━━━━━━
PAYMENT
━━━━━━━I take payment in US Dollars, unless discussed otherwise. I accept 50% prepayment via PayPal after I'm done with the sketch or before I even started (if it's a sketch in the first place).
I will continue working only after payment is received by me. I can wait up to one week for you to accept my invoice. If you did not send me anything after a week has passed, the order will be rendered closed. You must notify me beforehand if you will not be able to pay in time.
In case I cannot continue working on your commission anymore - 50-80% can be refunded (up to 100% if there is next to nothing done).━━━━━━━
PROCESS
━━━━━━━Before commissioning, please, think of what exactly you want as an end result. The more references and description - the better.
I will not make any global edits if I'm already past sketching (drawing a line art or even coloring). Make sure you are satisfied with each step before I start the following one, it will be much easier on both of us.
I do not have deadlines! I try to finish orders as soon as possible (it usually does not take any longer than a month since I started, but fully depends on what you commissioned). You can ask about artwork's doneness if you want or need to, just do not do it too often.━━━━━━━
ART STATUS
━━━━━━━I do not have my commissions open all the time, it is better to check my pages or contact me for more relevant information. Nope, I cannot draw your character for free.
I only do collaborations with people I know.
If you want an art trade with me - it does not hurt to try!
Gifts are guaranteed if we are friends or mutuals!━━━━━━━
