So I finally decided to cross this bridge. As in, commissioning artwork by someone who can actually…do art. Not at all like my amateur attempts. My search for willing and able artists took me to Tumblr. I used searches such as ‘commissions open’ to find artists who were available and with styles that I thought could fit the world.

Magnets of How to Stop Wildfire’s first character, the first introduced character ever in the series: King Fla’neiel!
