Went on a trip recently and doodled these on a couple of my flights! ✨

Sketch of a female anthro hyena-dragon hybrid character in 3/4 back view, flexing one arm. There are smaller sketches of mouths and eyes around her.

Sketch of a beast mid-transformation into a fluffy dragon with ram-like horns, snarling and licking her upper lips on one side.

Got busy on The Legend of Vox Machina at Titmouse starting this week! 💃 (For anyone looking to hire, my availability now starts in November.)

Decided to doodle this in my free time today as a sort of cooldown after the busy past few days. Not sure if I'll finish it. ✨

I don't get many opportunities to draw for personal art nowadays so I decided to sit down and draw for a while last weekend. Kinda just mindlessly kept drawing until I got tired. WIPs are in the thread below if anyone is curious. 🎨

It has been brought to my attention that someone is scamming people via Discord using my werewolf animation as an "example" of their animation commissions.

If you receive anything of this nature, IT IS A SCAM! I NEVER advertise my work that way and only do business via my official business email.

I posted this on my OWN accounts on X, bsky, Instagram, and YouTube. The only other person who has rights to repost this animation is the client who commissioned it.

If you see them anywhere else, it is NOT me and I did not give permission to repost it.

Really don't like that I'm having to resort to this lol

Friendly reminder that just because you credit an artist in your description doesn't excuse you from reposting without permission.

If the artist didn't say you could do it, DON'T DO IT.

It's not my place to say since this was a commission. You'll have to ask the client ( @kevincasas.bsky.social )!

Also, out of respect for the client I will not be disclosing how much he spent on the werewolf animation. The document will provide just a general idea of what to expect when you ask for a quote, as well as any additional information regarding the commission process.

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · Jan 11

Because I have so many emails regarding commission pricing, I am currently compiling a document breaking down what to expect when I do reopen an animation commission slot. I'll keep you all updated when that document becomes available. Thanks!

Hey everyone! ✨

I've been receiving a LOT of emails asking about commissions. Here's a bit of info for you all for now.

I'll post more updates regarding commissions later on when I have the time to focus on it:

Be aware though, that I am employed full-time currently, so I do not know how soon I can take on another commission. This one was done during a few weeks of free time between studio work. (3/3)

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · Jan 7

Rates vary depending on a wide range of factors (characters, complexity, length, deadlines, rough/clean/shading/etc). That said, I am always happy to discuss general estimates via email (I generally do not check DMs). (2/3)

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · Jan 7

To those asking about prices: I do not have my prices listed publically at the moment because they heavily depend on what each individual client is looking for! (1/3)

Thanks! I always animate at 24fps on 1s and 2s (and sometimes 3s).
