Everything a character needs
Built for artists and collectors who outgrew a folder of refs: one place for the art, the paperwork and the people.

Galleries, refs and a full ownership log. Keep them private, unlisted or public.
Trades and gifts
Offer, counter and accept. Creator terms travel with the character to every owner.
Commissions
Artists list services, take requests into a queue and get paid out through Stripe.
Raffles
Entry rules, a countdown and a provably fair draw anyone can check.
Profile Studio
Design a character's page in HTML and CSS, previewed live on a sandboxed domain.
Forums and forms
Community threads, plus application forms that pull in the applicant's characters.
Trades that keep their terms
Every offer shows both sides, the message and what the creator asked for, before anyone accepts.

Overview
Ladybyrd is a home for characters. Artists keep galleries, refs and an ownership log in one place, and collectors find people to commission.
Trades carry the creator's terms to every new owner, and money cannot be added to an offer. Commissions show the price, the add-ons and what the artist takes home before anyone sends a request. Raffles publish the draw so anyone can check it. It is still in development.
Give your characters a home.
Host them, trade them, commission them. Ladybyrd is in development; follow along at ladybyrd.art.
