One of my favourite things about this podcast is that Adam gives the characters voice filters when appropriate (or asked for I presume).
It makes for such an immersive experience!
And it also feels like an act of kindness and care, to give players the voice they imagine for their characters.

Absolutely do it
It doesn't even have a floor *disdainful scoffing*
Oh you're right, I forgot it's going that route. Big c-drama trope *sigh*
If you are feeling like more c-drama, I currently really enjoy Unveil:Jadewind (not finished yet). Mystery show with a lot of flair and I really like the female lead.
(If you'd prefer wuxia, Who Rules The World was also very enjoyable imho.)
Shooting you one right now. (I think your carrd is amazing btw, and the Notion form is perfectly functional too (just the note field is a little hard to type into), I don't think your process needs change, really. )
Are your commissions open in general, or just for the DE portraits?

That is great news, and welcome back! Your account creates so much good in the world, I'm glad it worked out.
Any time a company has to "make a statement", it means they're sweating. Cook them
This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:
In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.
Neil Gaiman is crawling out of his bog two years after sexual assault allegations to play the sweet old fantasy uncle again -- complete with name-dropping that book you like & his twee "make good art" catchphrase -- all in order to (of course) sell you his upcoming book. Don't you dare fall for it.

These guys are making a highly entertaining podcast that has informed many of my own TTRPG habits and preferences, and they are all excellent kind people besides.
