The pose and mood of this is just delicious for the eyes. Really wow!

I know you replied to someone else about it only being live but if there really was a way for it to be a VOD even for a few days after I'm sure that'd be appreciated too. It doesn't need to be planned, but having it would be super accessible!

Thanks so much for even thinking about this!!

I love coming across animals I've never ever heard of, it's a rare treat for my brain. THANK YOU!
Also this art is STUNNING, it belongs in a science publication, wonderful!

Visit thedawner's Shop! I've opened a shop. Come take a look!

Anything and everything by @thedawner.bsky.social ! Their brushes elevated my work so much - ko-fi.com/thedawner/shop

I'm not good with discord but if it lined up with when I'm awake I'd deffo be there! I'd certainly link to somewhere to tip for your time and experience at the very least.

;u; thank you, that's all-time attacks not just this years though!! <3

Can you tell I didn't have much paid work this month OOPS LMAO.

Ever ever, mind you. Not just this time.

WELL it's all-time not just now. I've not counted but it's like 70 something this year O:
Thank you ;;

‼️ ART FIGHT 2025 HAS ENDED! ‼️

We hope you've had fun! Thank you all so much for participating and we hope you'll join us for next year's 'Fight, too!

Stay tuned! - The winner of this year's event will be announced in a later newspost.

Feels like I'm getting a fullscreen pop-up about this every other day now it's infuriating. Here's Windows 98 and XP working like a charm for years and now we have an OS that's a few years old and OH NO WE CAN'T COPE WITH MAINTAINENCE.

Right so I WAS done with Art Fight but then I saw I've got 198 total attacks so LIKE I'M GOING TO LEAVE THE YEAR WITH ONLY 2 AWAY FROM 200 so I'm sorry to those two friends that are getting sniped so close to the end with no warning but I'M COMING FOR YOU.

Love how I can spot your art a mile off no matter what you draw. This is gorgeous!

Gorgeous work ;o;

This piece is such a joy to look at!! It's giving me such wonderful nostalgic vibes.

RIGHT!
My core commissions are now ALL available on Ko-Fi! RAWRRR!

I'll make an official comms request as I need new examples for a lot of my options with my newer style, but especially my freak-outs! These icons (with slime) are now £65! O:

An icon of a woman with pale skin and medium length, brown hair. She rests on her palm with a calm smile. Yellow Background.

My reference sheets come with an icon! Here's Beatrice's.

A reference sheet of a woman with pale skin and medium length, straight brown hair. On the left she wears baggy green jumper (sweater) with a long brown skirt. The headshot shows her with large gold hoop earrings and glasses, she is smiling. To the right is her in her 'uniform' which is a black combat dress with leggings. She is swirling magical energy which is blue and green around her body. The headshot shows her with a stern expression with the energy flowing around her. Below is a collection of her items such as handbag, flip phone and ID.

I'm way behind schedule uploading commissions! (I'm still in the mode of delaying uploads because of algo, it's so hard to get back into the habit of posting as soon as it's ready now!) This is from a while ago sorry!!!

Character design from scratch and RP reference sheet commission of Beatrice.

Thank you so much!
I used to work so much quicker but recently I got slower and slower as I was focusing on little details a bit too much which then made my work more expensive. I'm hoping this makes my work more approachable again without losing any quality!

I've been working on my style through experimental commissions and AF and I've settled on a style I can achieve work that's true to my skills and high quality, but completed in a shorter timescale, which means I will be working on a lower price point after August for illustrations (refs excluded).

I can hear them yelling from here!
(Oh my god their CUTE LITTLE FACES, I'm loving your new little creatures!?)

LOVE how you captured the colours so beautifully in this.

Yeah... I think I'm gonna take the plunge and move entirely to Ko-Fi for my shop and streamline my commission options.
People prefer to commission me through Ko-Fi anyways these days. And use Carrd for my portfolio. I don't want to segment up again, but... world's trickier for artists again haha.

Then again your website has a nice gallery? Is it easy enough to set up and I don't suppose you know if it supports multiple pages of galleries do you??? Sorry for just jumping on you with questions.
Your website is really amazing!
