Happy Dingburgday! Birthday gift for bsky.app/profile/ding... pz draw more funny, dumb bird, thank you

Got laid off earlier this week, so I'm on the hunt for a new job. Most of my professional experience is as a game artist, but I'm flexible. I do character design, concept art, animation, etc. If you wanna help, just share the post and spread the word, or DM me with any opportunities you know of.

🎵 Happy birthday to meeeee 🎵 I've seen some other artists do this for their birthdays recently, so I figure why not give it a try. Pick your favorite and draw them if you want. I love seeing art of my characters, no matter the quality, so I'll give a repost to anything anyone makes!

A long time ago, I stopped caring about ranks and stuff in competitive online games because, as a solo player, it always felt like my rank was less about my personal skill and more about the whims of the matchmaking system. But I discovered something in Deadlock recently...

I guess there's something about the Zelda art that just makes it not very popular with the algorithm or my followers. Though a lot of artists struggle with their fan art completely overshadowing their OC art in popularity, so I guess I'm happy to have the inverse problem lol.

A cool mutual of mine did some cool OoT fan art recently and reminded me that I need to do more Zelda art myself. I drew some of my favorite Zelda characters over 5 years ago, but it got no traction. So I figure it's worth reposting since it's basically new to almost all of you now lol.

Here's my very belated birthday art for @jerzzysmerz.bsky.social. I thought it'd be funny to have La'Donna meet my girl Eva because they have some things in common, but probably not as much as you might think lol. Also if you're a fan of my art, you DEFINITELY need to check Jerzzy out.

Uyo's always had a connection with Valentine's Day because of her love theme (and because I often just happen to have art for her ready to post on V Day lol). I had some ideas to try to lean even more into Uyo's monstrous-ness. Just trying things out, nothing's set in stone.

I played a bunch of the new Deadlock update last night (Street Brawl is super fun), and I got this idea after laughing with teammates about how funny Vyper and Ivy's new gloating portraits are. I also made a textless template if people wanna make their own versions for memes.

Saw some mutuals posting their dragon characters for dragon appreciation day today. I've never heard of it tbh. But hey, if people wanna appreciate some dragons today, I'm happy to oblige lol.

Took a pretty long break from art to recover from OCtober and have time for holiday stuff, and I got real rusty. I had some ideas for updating Uyo's design during that break, so here are some doodles experimenting with those ideas to see how they look and shake off the rust.

Saw a bunch of other artists doing art recaps, so here's a few of the notable things I did in 2025. We've got Roll's first proper mini comic, I designed my new dragon character, did some Deadlock Ivy fan art a lot of people liked, and of course the OCtober event. Happy New Year!

Visiting family for the holidays so no art today. But I did have just enough time to do the Deadlock holiday event before leaving, so I can brag about that at least lol. Fortunately I already like to learn and play all the characters in games like this, so it was a fun challenge.

Been too busy for proper art this week, so instead here's a machine my friend and I designed in Kirby Air Riders. Grab one for yourself using the ID so you too can revel in obnoxiously shouting your favorite Robotnik memes whenever you race your friends lol.

Took a long break to catch up on other stuff after the OCtober event took up so much of my time. Now I'm ready to get back to drawing. To start, here's a quick little doodle I did on a whiteboard app of Lily after she went into the "mouse dimension" in a D&D campaign recently.

Here's all the request art from OCtober 2025 in one place (with the last one in the repost because I can only attach 4 pictures lol). Hope everyone had fun with the event, because I certainly did, even though it was a lot of work. And thanks again to everyone who participated!

Here we are with the OCtober event finale! I even added some simple shading this time. Our final batch of ideas are from: -OEdswald @madagau.bsky.social -Litanus -CarbyneC Thanks to everyone who participated, and sorry to everyone whose ideas I didn't have time to draw. Happy Halloween!

Give it up for week 4 of OCtober sketches! Here we've got ideas from: -Fighter1Manga -Richardpul2 -callsignuptomyassinshit -Dude27AuthLeft I'm gonna post one last batch of art on Halloween, so last chance to leave an idea in the comments! Check the post below for rules.

Turf war? Wanted to draw @dingberg.bsky.social's dragon OC with mine.

Here comes the 3rd batch of OCtober art. I knocked out a lot of requests this time, and those requests are from: -Sue-Doughnim -XenoScott -Senaneone -Cheesemaster2222 -ZeroRoyale15 Leave a comment with your own ideas if you want! Just check the post below for rules.

Here's some fun fan art I did for @dingberg.bsky.social of his characters, Eva and David! This is a little sillier than what I normally post, but eh, sometimes you gotta get silly lol

More OCtober sketches hot out of the oven! Tried something a bit different with the presentation this time. Anyway, this week's ideas are from: -Yams4Days (Twitter) -NVSirius (DA+Twitter) -Azenite (Tumblr) Leave a comment with your own ideas if you want! Just check the post below for rules.

Here comes the first batch of this year's OCtober sketches! This week we've got ideas from: -Amayathetism (DA) -Blackfire2Q (DA) [email protected] If you haven't gotten an idea picked yet, feel free to leave a suggestion in the comments or as a DM (check the below post for rules).

I normally post art on Saturdays, but my usual weekend schedule got all mixed up so I'll be posting the first batch of OCtober sketches tomorrow instead so I can put the finishing touches on them. Look forward to it 👀

For anyone that needs some inspiration for ideas or just wants to see what I've done before, here are the requests I did from last year

It's time again for the annual OCtober (see what I did there?) Community Art Event. No voting this time. Instead I'll try to sketch as many of your ideas as I can. Just leave your ideas as a comment on any event post this month (including this one) or as a DM. 👇Rules below 👇

No new art today, so instead I'll use this opportunity to announce Dingberg's Annual October Spooky Community Art Event (trademark pending) will be starting next week! So keep your peepers peeled for the first post next Saturday with info on rules and how to participate.

Been a busy week, so I only got one more panel of the new Eva and David comic roughed out. I imagine it's pretty obvious by this point what this comic's gonna be about lol.

It's been a while since Eva and David made their last appearance. Well Eva and David fans rejoice, because they're back with the start of a whole new story arc! Here's a rough sketch of the first page of the first comic to give you a small taste of what's to come.

A lot of people really liked my Ivy fan art, so I decided to give it some colors. I may even do another revision later with cleaned up lines and some shading and stuff. Also I've been enjoying Deadlock a lot and there are so many other characters that would be fun to draw.

Finally got an invite to play Deadlock recently, so I've been playing that this week instead of working on projects lol. Ivy's the main character that caught my eye when the game was announced, and I've mainly been learning the game with her. So here are some Ivy doodles I did.

Finished implementing a new mechanic into the game. Roll can get hit by stuff now! She'll get knocked away dynamically based on the projectile's and her speed and stunned for a second. Surprisingly, getting her little bounce off the floor right was one of the most complicated parts lol.

Got the itch to get back into my Roll game, so I mocked up a little sequence for her getting hit. I don't have any actual animation software on my computer right now, so the motion's pretty rough. But that part will be mostly handled by physics in the game anyway.

I did a silly little doodle of @dingberg.bsky.social's dragon lady doing that thing I see sometimes. She is very cute :)

I've been getting some more fan art of my characters recently and I always love it when people like my characters enough to want to make their own art of them. I've also got a special folder on my PC for all the fan art I've ever gotten so I can look at them whenever I want 👁️👁️

Been pretty busy this week, but I still wanted to get some art out. I've also been posting only dragon stuff for the past few weeks, so I thought I'd shake things up by sketching an idea I had for my zombie girl Lily recently.

Got my A rank for AT Uth Duna in Monster Hunter Wilds solo on my 2nd try lmao. First try I was just messing around and learning the moves, and my time was still pretty close. AT Uth Duna is SO much kinder to great sword users than AT Rey Dau, which I very much appreciate lol.

Got some free time today, so I'm gonna be playing some Monster Hunter Wilds event quests. If you wanna join in, hop on and send me a message in-game, or post in the squad chat if you're part of the squad.

Been focusing on fleshing out her backstory this week, so I kept it simple with the art. A lot of people really liked this sketch sheet I did, so I cleaned up the line work and added colors and some simple shading.

Finally got her (hopefully) final colors decided, though I may still make tweaks here and there as I go along. I think the deep wine/velvet pinkish red fits her really well. And a lot of people really liked the purple wing membranes, so I worked those in too. What do you think?

Got my solo A rank on the Mizutsune arena challenge in MHWilds. Even though I had to use a weapon I'm not as familiar with (I mained gunlance in Rise, but it's way different in Wilds), it was so much easier than the Rey Dau one. ...Btw look forward to more dragon tomorrow 🐉👀

Had a fun idea with my dragon turning her wings into a dress, and it tied perfectly into an aspect of her character. So I thought I'd take a quick break from working on figuring out her color scheme and make a little sketch page out of it.

More color tests! Definitely a good sign that the audience and myself seem to be pretty well aligned with what we think fits best for her. So here's a more focused set with rough shading added for a better idea of how the colors will look. Same as before, tell me your favorites!

Celebrating 2k followers over on Twitter with a big ol' art share. Check it out if you've got a Twitter and want to share your art and maybe meet some other artists! And if you don't have a Twitter, you can still take a peek if it sounds interesting. x.com/Doinkberg/st...

Color tests for the still-yet-to-be-named dragon character. For context, she's supposed to be the "evil queen of monsters"...or at least that's how the humans see her. Though that doesn't necessarily mean she needs to look super evil or menacing. Which ones are your favorites?

After spending a week doing more research, gathering more reference materials, and doing some more experimental sketches, I feel much more confident drawing her now. Still not totally solidified on the design, but I think it's definitely getting there. What do you all think?
