About
Freelance 2D Illustrator / Character Designer
Ayo! My name is Sherry, but I'm better known Lyco, or Alycoris.While known for a Knight bias, I've been drawing online since 2011, and my greatest inspirations are Persona 3 and the Digimon Franchise, as they've instilled my adoration towards the "coming of age" genre, and my fascination towards overcoming adversity.I just draw what I love, and my greatest hope is that you can love it too!

Supernova Tier Information
Hypernova Tier Information
Q: What is a Snapshot?
A: A snapshot is a colored sketch of a character that can vary from being Bust Up or Full Body dependent on the subject matter.If I am requested to draw a small monster of some kind, the likelihood of it being depicted in Full Body is higher, whereas a person or humanoid character is more likely to be drawn from the Bust Up, dependent.As I improve with framing, I might try more daring things. However, the most important aspect of a Snapshot is the subject's face and expression, so that will always be the primary focus.
Q: Why does the Supernova Tier on Ko-Fi get two Digimon Snapshots, while the Hypernova Tier gets only one Snapshot for their Original Characters for an additional 10 USD?
A: Because of the nature of the request!The Supernova tier is limited to ONLY Canon Digimon and Appmon, which I am familiarized with. (Also, I enjoy drawing Digimon).The Supernova Tier also has the stipulation where members cannot choose the same Digimon Subject consecutively, and must wait two months before asking for the same Digimon again. Additionally, they are subject to the monthly theme that is imposed by me.To contrast, in the Hypernova Tier, I am drawing the Supporter's OCs, which there is no prescribed limit-- meaning that if the members wants, I will draw the same OC every month, and they are not limited to the monthly theme either.I suggested Original Digimon, but the OC that can be drawn each month is not exclusive to only Digimon. The only thing that I ask is that the OC in question needs to have a pre-existing artwork or reference.Keep in mind, there are certain things I will and will not draw (which is covered in my TOS), but for convience, it is summarized here:
What I WILL draw | What I WON'T draw |
---|---|
Original Characters Fanart Digimon Pokemon Nudity (to an extent) | Furry Complex Mechs and Cars Overly Muscular Characters Realistic Animals or Monsters NSFW |
This is primarily due to my confidence in my ability. Thank you for understanding!

Regarding Revisions
While I am actively working, I check in with the client frequently.For Commissions, I iterate during my drawing process, and ask the client to choose between A or B choices related to their commission. This is to ensure that my customers included in the process and are satisfied with the outcome.HOWEVER-- if a client is asks for a creative revision that I would not make myself, it will incur an additional fee based on the type of revision that they are asking for.Therefore:✽ The client is given one free Major Revision and one free Minor Revision.✽ A Major Revision requires me to change poses and composition. This can be made during the sketching process. Any major change to the pose after line art is made constitutes as a major revision.✽ A Minor Revision is defined by detail adjustments after linework is made, like eye color or other simple details.
