I’m so happy with my progress as an artist and incredibly grateful for all the opportunities I’ve had so far…but boy some days it’s tough not to feel like I’m behind or not doing enough or not being seen by the right people. Tired thoughts brought to you by a person with too much on their plate

It’s my birthday 🥳🎉 It’s incredibly homophobic that I’m sitting here with a cold for it and have 2 dissertations to work on, ON A SUNDAY But hey check out my work and give it a share 🥳

Bumping this again! If you’ll be looking for art for your project soon, let’s chat! 🧑🏻‍🎨

Encouraged by @devenrue.com some years ago I started to create a world hopping cartographer NPC of my own inspired by her tiefling Rue. Today I present Yendar the Cartographer. I already love him! And there's a few fun easter eggs on this guy I adore. he's been to I think all of my worlds.

To all freelance peers who are struggling to make ends meet this year: it's not you. It's been getting tougher and tougher to get any gigs and many private clients struggle to pay their own bills. Whatever it takes for us to get through this, please don't doubt your skills and value as a creative ❤️

Currently down for the count after my flu/covid shots, and in my stupor just feeling grateful for everything so far in my (still early) art career 💚 Thanks to everyone who makes it possible for me to do this and I can’t wait to see where else pushing paint around takes me

Do me a solid and click through this link and choose get notified when this project launches, it'd be much appreciated! @rpgwebby.bsky.social has been hard at work writing, and I'm doing some character art for it! (Also The Spy Game is a great game overall tbh) #ttrpg #tabletop #5e

We've just launched the preview page for our next Kickstarter: a supplement for The Spy Game! The Spymaster's Toolkit expands your espionage and action roleplaying, providing both players and game masters with new options. Follow the campaign here, be notified when it goes live! #ttrpg #tabletop

First Sunset I've painted dragons for most of my life, always been fascinated by them and particularly loved Tolkien's Smaug. But this was my first proper painting of a dragon in its own world after spending a couple of years thinking about and practicing dragon anatomy...

Another experiment in oils 🦉 I’m starting to fall in love with this medium 🩵

Hey all! I'm opening my #rpg #commissions for the fall! Starting at $150 USD for an item or $300 for a #character or #monster, these #art pieces are really fun gifts or celebrations of your own RPG moments! Excited to see what y'all have in mind! DMs are open so feel free to reach out! Cheers!

Oil painting to the sound of a light rain shower through the open windows?? Bliss. 🤩

It was about time for a new self portrait - especially since the last one was nearly 5 years old (and I have a beard now)

New profile picture! (On all the socials 😁)

Had the best time painting these athletes for @ndpdesign.com! I haven’t had a chance to share all of the full finished pieces on socials yet, so keep an eye out for those soon!

The Athletic Background cards for Five Rings Wrestling Alliance are (finally) all in, so those sets will be going out to backers next week! Thanks again to @danenglish.bsky.social for bringing this concept to life.

🌱✨It's my birthday!!🌱✨ It's a ritual here sharing an artist's artwork, and I'd really appreciate that too! I'm open for work as a freelance illustrator, and in case you're interested, here's my commission infos and my linktree! linktr.ee/yulkradness Comms: yulkradnesscommissions.carrd.co

Sketch —-> Final . This was a fun one.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Was I in another starter pack or something? Holy flood of new followers!? Welcome everyone! Glad to have you here 💚

So many things to paint, so many projects to work on, so many hobbies to love and not enough time to do it all

Thanks to everyone who came out this weekend! It was a blast chatting with so many people and getting to talk art and nerdy things!! 😁

IT'S TIME! 💪Jump into the ring to help reprint World Wide Wrestling, the premier ttrpg of pro wrestling narration action! 📙Debuting a Hardcover Edition for the first time ever! 🤼 New Gimmick art, play aid materials, and more! Thanks for everything, friends! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ndp...

I’ll be tabling at QuestFest here in Rochester next weekend, 9/21! Come by, check out the vendors, events and play some D&D!

I just want to gush over Inna for a moment. Beautiful, wondrous, resplendant creature. My sister from across the Sea. Incredibly skilled & kind & tough as 8million nails! I love her to bits. @innavjuzhanina.bsky.social 🇺🇦💙 Thank you for your time! [ have some ladies ⤵️ ]

Congrats for 25k and thanks for sharing! I'm Julien, a freelance artist based in Italy who works on illustrations, concept designs and book covers with a particular passion for dark fantasy themes!

Hey Michael, congratulation for the achievement! And thank you so much for hosting! I'm Vincenzo, freelance artist since 2016. I love monsters, and everything that comes from nightmares. As a cinema lover, I always try to give a cinematic aspect to my works.

Congratulations & thanks for sharing your work & process! It’s very insightful. Here’s what I do; long time ago I wanted to paint realism but found it wasn’t for me. I stick with stylized stuff now.

New art post dropping later today 👀

It's a tough time to be an artist or creative, and it's especially tough if you're doing that on a freelance or independent basis. Sharing someone's posts, leaving a positive review, or recommending them to a friend are 3 easy ways you can help. And they're all free!!

Getting the Blood Angels army ready for a winter’s worth of painting 🩸🪽

Times are tough for artists, writers, and other creative folk. If you have the means, consider signing up for someone's Patreon, or commission some art, or buy a book. Write a skeet about a creative you enjoy. Spread the word about their work.

Reminder that I’ll be back on the hunt for more work starting in November! If you’ll be in need of art for your project coming up, let’s chat! 🖥️ danenglish.art ✉️ [email protected]

You’ll be happier in this industry if you can learn to be genuinely happy for folks when they get gigs you wish you’d have gotten.

As my schedule ramps up, I’ll be looking for more projects starting in November - so if you know you’ll have an art need later this year or want to get a jumpstart, let’s chat now! ✉️ [email protected] 🖼️ danenglish.art
