Hey #PortfolioDay! I'm Dakota, I'm a concept artist and illustrator with 6 years' industry experience looking for work! Lost my last gig in Nov, so I'm wide-open for either contract or fulltime! Love storytelling, collaboration, and exploration! 🎨: www.dakotacurry.com 📧: [email protected]

I know I'm so late, life has been life-ing, but in lieu of the usual self-hype, I'd like to do a #PortfolioDay art share and hype *you!* 🫵🏻😎 Drop your best work with a link to your site so folks can contact you! (And it should be obvious, but no AI.) I'll repost as many as I am able!

Just a reminder audiobook versions of both my novels are available on Youtube: 💙📚🌈📚 #booksky youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Today on Adventures of Being A Big Dude Who Enjoys Fashion: the same heavy sigh we’re all familiar with at this point We out here, doin our best, but whoof

update cuz more folks were concerned than I expected -- which was so lovely and thank you all for your well-wishes -- feeling Just Normal Sore today, which tracks cuz I havent done sport in like six months xD but not really concerned about INJURY injury now <3

gonna be drawin while sitting So Casually for the next few days cuz I had a hard fall in ultimate this morning and my neck/spine/shoulder area is Upset (Not so injured that I can't move it or nothin, think I'm fine, it's just Kinda Grumpy Cuz Its Almost 32 And Doesn't Really Receive Impacts)

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

Truly a game-changing class, can't recommend it enough!!

💬 Know a comics creator looking for paid work? Comics Jobs is the sister job board to Illustration Jobs, focused on comics, manga and webtoon roles. https://comics-jobs.com

If i were to offer GM Office Hours, would people be interested? Hourlong sessions with the goal of talking to you about your GM’ing style, things you want to improve upon, answering questions you have, or even tossing campaign/one shots/actual play ideas at someone who has experience in this space—

I have a site again. *confetti* artificer-ind.carrd.co

learn how to talk about art sincerely. read art theory, study the fundamentals, engage with art critically. eradicate the shame around taking art seriously and then do it. engage in conversations with your peers, ask "can you tell me more about this," and know how to answer when its your turn.

If anyone with the Star Trek franchise in their reach is following me pls know that it was one of my earlier story franchise loves and I’d go insane to illustrate something official for it

Saw some cool textures in the world today thought my environment artist homies might enjoy

Psssst pssst Noé is an amazing artist with some super sick concepts Check out his work, I love reposting it!

In celebration of #Juneteenth let’s get a support thread going! Awareness is nice, but material support is even better. If you’re Black: leave a reply with your payment links (or your shop, commission links, etc). 👇 Everybody else: pick someone and send some dollars. ❤️

I'm so excited to share the piece I've been working on for the last two months in @paulscottcanavan.com 's mentorship!! It's been incredible and I've been blown away by the quality of both the class and my fellow students! It feels like a turning point, I'm so proud of this piece Thank you all <3

Alrighty process time!! 1. Thumbnails. I wanted to really think about pre-, mid-, and post-action in my thumbnails and pushing myself on some of the angles. I made, I think, 12 or 15 of these? But I culled it to my favorite 5 for the submission. I still really wanna paint the top 3, if I'm so real

While playing my druid, Skwirl, I needed a fast and handy reference for wild shaping. When I couldn't find what I needed, I made my own. And now, I want to share these useful cards with other players. If you play as a druid, I know you'll love these: www.kickstarter.com/projects/aar...

Meet Rosie, she’s looking for her best friend, The Wizard. Have you seen him?

Also, if any ADs end up getting their eyes on this, I'm open for new contract or full-time work! Would love to find a new team to tell endless stories with 💪 Full concept and illustration portfolios at www.dakotacurry.com (sci-fi portfolio privately available on request) Cheers!

I'll post a process thread tomorrow, but thank you all so much for all the support already!! I'm so happy today <3

The Toothfairy Mage, and her companion mister EEL This piece was made during a mentorship with @paulscottcanavan.com Feels like a huge step up for me and everyone in the class, thank you very much Paul!!

I am so happy to share the piece I worked on while doing @paulscottcanavan.com 's mentorship! It was such a blast and I have hopefully learnt a few things that I can't wait to try on more of my art. My fellow mentees were also awesome and I feel like I have learnt a lot from them too, happy days!

Time for my semi-monthly “I miss singing/performing” post Anyway I miss singing and performing 🫡

$40 sketch commissions are open again!!

✨🌕

If anyone is looking to hire a Peabody and BAFTA winning senior writer, I am looking for work. I’ve got six years experience in games. Everything from indie to AAA. I am not married to staying in games. I am hoping to relocate to the Bay Area. I am keeping my ears to the ground.

oh yeah, in terms of good news- I haven't seen anyone talking about this??? In short- worst case scenario of 4C warming by 2100 is no longer possible, new worst-case is 2.8C now DOES NOT MEAN we just relax- the only way we got here is through hard work- but it means THE HARD WORK IS WORKING

✨️Hey freelance artists!✨️ I get job inquiries that I can't take on sometimes and I'd like to be able to send these clients a link to a thread with artists who do commissions! Share some of your art, what work you do, and an email adress here💚 No AI! (I'm open for work too: sylthuria.com)

Unused very early stages design for a swamp dragon for Bardsung 2 The theme was consumption and this was only one of several directions I explored. We ended up going in a different direction, obviously, but I still love this boi so much. #conceptart #gamedev #2D #creaturedesign #dragon

It’s a really scary time to be an artist, especially a game artist, and especially a game artist out of work (tbh even if you have work rn, I get not feeling safe 🫂) I’m scared almost every day these days. If you’re in the same boat: you’re not alone, you’re doing great, we’ll get through this ❤️❤️❤️

Please call your reps, this thing is so evil

Claimed! <3 Thanks everyone!

Hi all! I wanna try and refuel this weekend, car fuel AND human fuel -- my coffee jar is empty and so is my gas tank, so I'm seeing if I can fill them both via a sketch sale! Only 10 slots, so get em while they're hot, but for 15$ I'll sketch of whatever you want! www.ko-fi.com/dakotacurry

*self promotional copy starts here* AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! *explosions* Eating is nice! patreon.com/artificer_ind *end sublime self promotional copy*

Quote with your yellow art!! 💛

one of the problems with feeling like you're levelling up is that your portfolio feels so outdated The upside of this, of course, is the excitement to make a bunch of new portfolio stuff I have PLANS

Something I realized today that I find interesting: I'm 31. At no point ever in my life before now have I heard both "oh my gosh you're so young!!" and "whoa wait you're old as hell!!" from new friends/peers as frequently as I do now. It's like your 30s are some liminal age. Second teenage years??

humans have known how to construct a shoulder seam for thousands of years, but with AI, we are unlocking untold new ways to fuck it up
