I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.

Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.


I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.


Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.

EDIT: I've successfully gotten in touch with someone and hired them! Thank you again to the folks who reached out to me and those who signal-boosted my original message!!

Here's my problem: I've skimmed through a lot of the commission-related tags on Cohost, but I can't seem to find anyone specializing in weapon design.

I have two weapons I need to commission concept art for, and I while I have done some rough sketches, I am very rapidly reaching the limit of my meager notebook-doodle abilities. I am in need of someone who is Damn Good at Creating Weapons to help me take these disconnected ideas and details and turn them into some full-ass objects. This concept artwork will be referenced for future paintings and illustrations, so it's really important to me that I hire someone with the talent to get these right.

So: are you capable at designing weapons--both firearms and fantasy weaponry? Do you think you could help take my rough ideas and sketches and turn them into some workable concept art? Great! I have money and would like to give it to you in exchange for your time and services.

My asks are open--send me a link to your work and some way to commission you and we'll chat!

And if that doesn't describe you: please hit the rechost button! Finding someone to do this work has been much harder than I'd thought, and I'd greatly appreciate the signal boost.

(And before you say it: I know it's technically an option, but I really, really don't feel good using sites like Fiverr for work like this. I'd much rather hire someone on their own terms than go through a service that values turnaround time over what's actually good for the artist.)
