Content
Prices for additional content that differs from regular SFW pricing depends on the kind of content in the image - primarily, based on what is considered “mature” and what is considered “adult”, due to the decreased reach and visibility that pieces of this nature will have. Please check my do’s and don’ts before inquiring for a piece considered NSFW (anything below falls into that category).
Both Finish Types
-Light Gore i.e. cuts, small amounts of blood, grazes and bruises, and Suggestive Content such as euphemisms and innuendo are included in the base price.
-Breasts with exposed nipples, skimpy clothing, fetish gear and Medium Gore i.e. excessive blood and direct acts of violence are classed as Mature and will incur an additional 10% surcharge on the final piece.
-Explicit nudity or sexual acts and Heavy Gore i.e. highly unrealistic levels of blood, (implied) death of a character, dismemberment and other excessively violent themes are classed as Adult and will incur an additional 15% surcharge on the final piece.
Reference Sheets
A reference sheet is a piece of art that displays all of the features of your characters design for use by other artists and crafters, and by default comes with a front and back view of the character, along with additional parts that aren’t shown on those views such as wings, tails etc.Please note I will only draw flat coloured reference sheets.
The base price for a reference sheet is £100.

Will Draw
• Humans/Humanoids, including humanoid monsters and robots.

• Characters of any gender, body type, race, age, etc.
• Fanart, even for fandoms I’m not personally in.
• Parings of any gender and sexuality.
• Romantic scenes - kissing, cuddling or further acts of intimacy.
• Fight scenes.
• Candy gore, or other stylised gore with alternative mediums portraying flesh and blood.
• Gore - traditional blood and guts.
• Fetish or Sexual Content - Most scenarios are okay with me, but please do ask first.
For a more in-depth list of the kinds of NSFW content I will draw, please inquire directly with me and I can point you towards a full comprehensive list.
Won’t Draw
• Non-consensual sexual content. This includes dubious consent/dubcon.
• Underage or feral animal characters in NSFW or otherwise suggestive pieces. Feral characters can only be shown in gore pieces under natural circumstances I.e. being predated upon.
• Realistic non-human genitalia - stylised anthro bodies are okay, but I like to avoid drawing one-to-one matches on real animal anatomy for my personal comfort.
• “Messy” fetishes i.e. watersports, scat, vomit, farts etc. Slime, gunge, and (consensual) blood do not apply to this rule.
• NSFW ABDL/Babyfur content - SFW is okay.
• Overly complex designs. (Enquire with me! I love a challenge but I do have to draw the line somewhere)
• I have the right to decline any piece I do not feel comfortable working with. I will never shame you as a client for what you are personally into, but some things I am not comfortable with. I do not owe you an explanation.

Hi, I'm Tay! You might also know me as Gerst.
I'm a 24 year old nonbinary (they/them pronouns) artist from the UK. I am autistic so please bear this in mind if I make a few little errors in communication!
My clients are usually from the furry community however I'm up to drawing just about anything. Outside of art, I am a game development graduate (BSc Hons), rollercoaster and theme park enthusiast, cat parent, and I love birds!
I also enjoy horror media inc. games and movies. I am a digital artist specialising in a toony style, and I also like creating my own merchandise.
Above all else, I am a freelancer who's looking forward to working with a wide range of clients to make your imagination come to life!
If you’ve stumbled across this page by mistake it is only temporary for a commission!
Current ref - not seen here is now the sleeves go past the hands and cover them, dangling a bit towards the knees. Back of lab coat has X-Sector logo (just the “X” symbol).

Better body ref
Good reference from the eyes from the area footage on park
The sort of thing I had in mind for a weapon - from unused Splatoon 2 concept art. The idea is that it is syringe shaped overall and can be used as a melee weapon if needed, but also has a large vial to hold in joy serum to fill up and shoot off replaceable individual self-injecting syringes. If you need any reference on how to Smiler-fy it at all just hit me up, I have an entire Pinterest board haha
