Surprisingly I had the rare chance to make this meme with paintings that were all painted this year, and not just painted earlier but published now. It also includes a sneak peek for an upcoming piece :D

I can finally show one of my favourite paintings from last year! This was a commission for @illumicrate.bsky.social which was printed on a blanket included in a recent Afterlight box.

Auroras are my favourite natural phenomena and i'd love to see them some day, so i'm very glad I got to paint one!

Jurjânîya - The cold of hell
We saw a land which made us think a gate to the cold of hell had opened before us. When snow falls, it is always accompanied by a rough and violent wind.

For those not in the know I have an INPRNT store! Huge sale going on over there right now and it does help put money in an artist's pocket.

But if you're doing the blackout and want to wait until after December 2 feel free.

Be extra kind to yourselves.
A lot of artists, including myself, are struggling.
It's not because we are failing; the system is failing us. A system that doesn't care about us. So we rely on those around us for support and kindness.
Keep your head up. We are doing our best ♡

It’s Thanksgiving here in the US and I’m eternally grateful for so much - my wife, my parents, my brothers, my friends

And every single person who has helped shape my art journey; mentors, followers, people who have commissioned me, art directors that have taken a chance on me.

Thank you all ❤️

I've been slowing down and doing some exercises with a friend to work on some of the things I can improve on as an artist. This portrait exercise was to focus on leaving the shadows mostly alone, and to give more information to the transitions between the shadow and the light.

Little charity painting I completely forgot I did.
for @keukentafelmtg.bsky.social - really enjoyed myself here. Doing this stuff always makes me want to go back and paint more giant sloths.

One thing I’ve tried to be better about this year is simply shooting my shot more often when opportunities come up - no more “I don’t think I’m good enough for that yet”

I'm adding more options -- 20$ will still get you a greyscale portrait, and now 35$ will get you a color one! These are great for RPGs and digital tabletops! I'm also offering items at the same 35$ tag.

Sketches and doodle comms are also still available at the 15$ price point per usual

I'm handling all this through my Ko-fi so if you want one of these, head to ko-fi.com/dakotacurry.

If you want any of these discounted prices or, honestly, if you've ever enjoyed my work and just wanna drop a couple dollars so I can function this week, I'd really really appreciate it. <3 <3 <3
