Team Fossils + Commissions opening soon!
4 months ago
LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!
Hi all! Just finished my first year of grad school and been busy working enjoying the birds. Here in Fairbanks, we had a huge celebration over the weekend to celebrate the Summer Solstice. There was a baseball game that ran past midnight with the stadium lights off (since the sun doesn't go down), and a huge festival that was practically a state fair. I also tabled at an arts walk where proceeds went towards benefiting a local migratory waterfowl refuge. The wildfires here have been a little hectic so I have been spending time indoors instead of being outside. Anyway, I have a little bit of free time this summer to draw and I'm planning to do Artfight and also open some slots for commissions!
I'll be on Team Fossils this year and I'm planning to do a taxonomy challenge. I've drawn lots of wolves, cats, dogs, dragons, etc. but there are many taxa I have not drawn yet. I made an image listing all the FurAffinity species listed in the drop-down submission box. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/56185585/ It's a crude fantasy taxonomy. (The taxonomy on e621 is much more detailed, but I'm not gonna mess with that right now LOL)
I want to challenge myself by drawing every single "species" on this list during Artfight! I can't believe I've never drawn a hippo character before. So, follow me on Artfight and I might attack you! https://artfight.net/~Skoryx
---
ALSO, I am planning to reopen my commissions the same time that ArtFight begins. That way I can do warmups before working on art ppl are paying money for. =:D My prices are similar to last year's prices and I revamped my Carrd. https://skoryx.carrd.co/#
Commissions will reopen on July 1st! I'll have 10 slots open at first, each slot being a separate piece of art. So, one person could order 3 pieces of art and this would take up 3 slots. This will probably be the only time I open commissions this year. I'll post a submission on here when I reopen.
Thank you for looking! Happy summer solstice and happy arting! =:3
