Something truly disheartening has happened.
I received a commission request via DM from a follower and provided a detailed price quote along with the project specifications. Even though the person reviewed and agreed to everything, at the very last stage, they suddenly claimed they didn't have the money.
Why didn't they just say it wasn't feasible from the start? I simply don't understand. I had quoted the price and proceeded with the discussion based on our mutual agreement, only to be let down like this. I’ve wasted so much time over the past few days.
It is a massive waste and a huge blow—not just to my artistic career, but also to my genuine clients. It is truly saddening.
I want to connect with people who will commission me in good faith. I look forward to hearing from you all via DM.
Today, I'm working on a client's OC—a large-scale "physical real art" piece featuring a skeleton dragon. I'm putting my all into it!
I'd love for someone to commission me. If you're interested in my art, please reply or send me a DM! Is anyone out there?
To all my followers,
I’m heading out today. It’s summer in Japan and very hot, but I’m going to enjoy an event. I plan to relax, take some photos, and have a good time. I’ll get back to creating art once I return.
Lately, I haven't been receiving any DMs at all. Is there no one who wants my art? Please feel free to send me a DM. You can check my pinned tweet for pricing details. I’m hoping to find a lot of messages waiting for me when I get home!

Check out this simple yet cool fighting game!
I’m tana-taka, and I’m in charge of the concept art.
Come visit the booth at EVO 2026 to buy merchandise and experience the game firsthand!

”Are you already wearing Boots...?”
Today I received a donation from ko-fi. Thanks to that donation, I was able to eat my favorite ramen🍜 at a restaurant far away. Japan is getting poorer and poorer economically, but I am so grateful for everyone's donations! Thank you everyone for supporting my art life🤗
@tana_taka_3rder@Starbucks That’s crazy!? How is that not a global product, it’s so good!? I hear generally fast food/restaurant chains are better overseas but I will say that might be the one advantage we have over here!!
