General Questions
Hi, I’m Blizzie! A Sonic and furry artist who loves videogames, art, and reading/writing! I’ve been drawing since I was 12 and playing videogames since I was 2. My favorite genres are indie horror and first person shooters, but my favorite gaming series is Fallout. I’ve gone through and replayed 3, NV, 4, and 76 multiple times! Also have played the other games as well, but they weren’t my favorites. 🙂
BlizzardWolf is my fursona and mascot. I go by “Blizzie” as a shortened version of it! Originally, BlizzardWolf was my username on an avatar-based chat app called WolfHome (think Club Penguin, but for wolves) back in what I’d guess was 2001-2002. I’d wanted the username SnowWolf, but it was taken — so BlizzardWolf became my username! It became my artist name pretty quickly, too, and despite me trying to move away from it a few times… it’s always come back. I’ve relinquished to the fact that I am forever Blizzie, and that’s okay. 🙂
This all started in July 2022 when I decided I wanted to try my hand at making fandom merch. I created an Etsy store and couldn’t think for the life of me what to call it, settling on the placeholder “BlizzardWolfArt”. Annnnnndd…. it wound up sticking. I created a brand around October 2022 (give or take a couple months, I can’t recall), and officially filed for a business license in April 2023 after things looked promising!
Art Questions
Short answer – sorry, no, I do not. I take suggestions for merchandise themes, but I can not guarantee that they will be made!
Very, very rarely. Usually I have to know you pretty well to do so, or I have some spare time and energy to expend.
I am currently not accepting traditional commissions as I simply don’t enjoy doing them as much as I do creating merchandise.
I have a niche of Sonic the Hedgehog and furry art, but sometimes I will expand beyond that. I also like to dabble in the genres of fantasy, horror, and realistic animals.
Although I prefer to keep stuff PG-13, I will draw more mature art within reason. If you are unsure, please ask! I also have a list of “hard no”s below in the next question.
Although I CAN draw humans, I really don’t like to do so. So, I will only make exceptions on rare occasions. Otherwise I also strongly prefer to stay in the PG-13 and lower realm, rarely doing R & X rated art. I also have a firm rule against certain fetishes, including but not limited to: cub, diaper, scat/ watersports/ flatulence/ emesis/ any other bodily excretions, vore of any type, feet, excessive gore, and anything else I may deem as uncomfortable or inappropriate.
I also prefer not to draw vehicles or weaponry without being able to reference them.
Absolutely, 10000%, without question, do NOT use anything that I have drawn, painted, cast, written, produced, or otherwise created for use in any form of NFT project or minting. I do NOT give you or ANYONE permission to use even portions of my creations for NFTs.
Customs Questions
Quite a few – it depends on what you want! I have multiple strategic manufacturing partners, so I am able to do:
– Acrylics: Keychains, magnets, pins, standees, and more
– Metals: Hard and soft enamel pins, challenge coins, belt buckles, keychains, and more
– Promotional Products: Attire (shirts, hats, etc.), pens, water bottles, banners, giveaway items, conference materials, and more
– Accessories & Living: Lanyards, tote bags, dakimakuras, oppai mousepads, standard & oversized mousepads, and more
– Stationery & Printing: Digital printing (Prints, booklets, magazines, brochures, business cards, etc.), wide-format printing (Banners, tablecloths, rolled canvas, etc.), offset printing, stickers and decals, and more
I only have a few options listed on my site for simplicity. Reach out to me for more information on any of my other offerings!
If you are ordering a custom keychain, badge, standee, or enamel pin, you can submitting your order directly through my store! Otherwise, you can reach out to me directly to place your custom order. I’ll work with you to get a budget, timeframe, and game plan!
It depends on the quantity and type of custom. My manufacturing partners are very reliable and typically quite fast, but the production process does take some time. Once the artwork is submitted to the manufacturer, please expect approximately 4-10 weeks for acrylics and 6-12 weeks for enamels. It isn’t always this long, but this is a safe assumption.
Yes! I sell them at wholesale prices with the expectation that you will resell them for a profit. I only ask that you refer/link back to me when selling and do NOT claim the product as your own creation.
Yes, BUT – if you did NOT create or draw the artwork you are requesting to be made into a custom, you MUST provide me with a written approval from the original owner/creator/artist of the artwork. No exceptions – I will also not use “Official” artwork from medias.
Shop Questions
I am working on setting up a notification system for when the shop receives new merchandise, as well as restocking notifications. Currently the best way to find out is asking me directly, as it depends on which item it is on how quickly it will be restocked. Also, please pay attention to some items that are LIMITED EDITION and limited run; when those are gone, they’re gone for good!
Yes! I have enabled PayPal’s Pay Later feature for your ease. However, if you need a different solution, message me and we can come up with a solution that works best for you.
I strive to have orders out same or next-day, but please allow 3 business days for in-stock orders. Custom orders are a completely different process and can often take 4+ weeks to create. Please plan accordingly!
I do not allow for refunds or exchanges. However, if you do not like your item or it arrives damaged, contact me and we will find a resolution that works best for your situation.
Shipping Questions
I can provide domestic and international shipping from USPS, UPS, and FedEx. DHL is also an option, but it is typically far more expensive than any of the other options. I typically use USPS for all shipping unless otherwise requested, or the package is over a certain weight threshold. If you would like any other shipping method that is not in the checkout section, message me and we’ll work on getting the best option for you!
I will ship to any country that I am able to per the most recent embargo laws for the U.S. (last checked March 2023). I do ship to Germany, France, and Spain, but please give me some extra processing time for these countries due to their unique shipping requirements.
The countries I am NOT able to ship to are:
Afghanistan, Belarus, Bhutan, Brunei, Cuba, Ghana, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Liberia, Myanmar, Nigeria, North Korea, Palestinian Territory, Russia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Turkmenistan, Yemen, and Zimbabwe.
Depending on what it is or how much you order, it could either be sent in a poly bubble mailer bag or a cardboard box. If you have a preference of which type I should use, please let me know in your order notes and I will do my best to accommodate.
