EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS

Hey all, unfortunately yesterday I got some bad news in that the offer for my new job that I was meant to start this month has been rescinded - putting me in a position where I am unable to pay rent next month (as well as food for myself and my cats, and paying other bills), which my landlord is aware of - I deseperately need to make enough to cover rent so I don’t get in trouble, so I’m opening up some emergency commissions

PET COMMISSIONS - $60 per pet

OC/CHARACTER PORTRAITS - $90 per character

I will draw a portrait of your character for 90 dollars. I can do multiple portraits in one commission if you would like a “character sheet” style commission, or would like multiple OCs “hanging out”

I also have my Ko-Fi where I doodle a bird of your choice for $10 if this is out of your price range. https://ko-fi.com/tytonidaeus

If you’re interested, please send me a DM on here. For Americans, please be aware I can only use Paypal as certain other cash-apps do not allow non-Americans to use them (i.e. me). Thank you for reading.

I got informed I no longer had a job whilst I graduated yesterday I must have messed up bad in a prior life insane run of terrible bad luck for the past year and a half

OOOOHHHHH Happy belated New Year everyone! Here’s my summary from 2025! Whilst I didn’t draw a huge quantity, I am very proud of what I did draw!

2025 was a bit of a weird year, I was mostly preoccupied with completing my postgraduate degree (which I passed and got a decent grade!!) which is why I’m a bit dry on the quantity front. I’ve also been helping out/assisting in running things in a community art server which has been a DELIGHT, I’ve learnt a lot of what I’m capable of through it!

I hope to draw more in 2026 and finish some larger projects! You’re allowed to kill me if I don’t

2025 summary actually please don't kill me

I ended up having the privilege to draw the starting image for @bowelfly’s most recent quintuple-headed telephone, Feastphone! I worked really hard on this and am quite proud on how it turned out, it was SO NICE seeing how each team tackled their prompts

Speaking of which, hey, look at this header I did for bfly’s website depicting each 5 teams!

Wanna know HOW these 5 beautiful children were born from the starting image? GO TO BFLY’S WEBSITE RIGHT NOOOOW and look at everyone’s incredible hard work! NOW!

Update + Made a sideblog!

Hey all! Sorry for the lack of art recently - I finished up my postgraduate course earlier this year, and then immediately jumped into starting a full-time job - needless to say my juice for drawing has been sapped recently! I hope to fix this soon though, I have like 6 or 7 things I wanna draw that have been fermenting like a needy soughdough starter.

In the meantime, I realised I missed having a blog for nice images I’ve hoarded like a magpie and decorate my nest with - I technically still have one, but it’s very old and there are almost certainly cringe vent posts from myself in my early 20s lurking in the deep depths like crumbs and dog hair in between a sofa’s cushions, and I’d feel weird using it again. So I made a new one! There won’t be any social media posts or anything, but if you use tumblr like I do (to snoop and hoard pretty art, photography and pictures of animals) give it a follow if you’d like!

I feel like this has been an extremely whack and trying year for both myself and nearly everyone I know and care about, so if you’re still reading - take care of yourself, and I hope you have some time coming up soon just to vibe and do a hobby you enjoy.

Did a fun little exchange with some buds on discord where we exchanged some line arts with each other and then added some colours to other people’s art!

Here’s a kitty originally lined and drawn by @ohpsshaw ! Look at his face, how could I not. This was a really fun exercise, both in applying your typical working style in a “groundwork/setting” of someone who draws in a much different style from your own, but also kinda fun seeing how people sketch out and build up their art (my sketches are a tangled net held together with flotsam and straw I’m low-key ashamed).

lowkey occupational therapy for a bunch of frazzled 30 somethings thank you Marissa ohpsshaw psshaw this cat got he/him whilst also being a calico so fuck it. trans man cat we love to see it

FORGOR TO POST THIS, here’s something I did for a telephone game run and coordinated by @psshaw and adjudicated (for my team) by @dimetrodone! A traditional telephone art game with a Twist, you are allocated either Human or Furry, with categories switching back and forth alternately, and must switch the characters to a species or person design based on your allocation! I got Furry, and it was worth it to draw the iconic System of a Down hand with paw beans and claws.

art telephone i had So Much Stuff going on irl when I did this and I'm proud of myself for getting it done my commitment to community run art events is unyielding flipphone2025

100 BIRDS. 1 AND ½ YEARS.

It’s actually slightly more than 100 (105~?) BUT THANK YOU. SO MUCH. For 100 donated birds. I’ve loved being able to draw every single one, and I cannot thank everyone enough who’s donated for one. You have helped me with everything from vet bills to buying groceries, and I am beyond grateful that I have been able to draw so many birds for so so many wonderful people. Thank you.

They are open indefinitely so if YOU would like a bird for $10, hit me up!

The embargo is up! Here’s my piece for the wonderful @pythosart’s Genrephone, a telephone with a twist - we draw out piece how we like, but we MUST change the genre!

I decided to go with a Prog Rock Album Cover! Interestingly, whilst I believe myself to be a certified Music Liker, my knowledge of Prog Rock is admittedly entry level. But, TWO THINGS are for certain!

  • The band “Eden” have approximately 18 albums with a middling fanbase, but “Return to Eden” managed to break through and get some mild commercial appeal. It resided proudly on the “1001 Albums to Hear Before You Die List”, and is promptly ignored by virtue of being near Pink Floyd’s entries
  • Anthony Fantano gave it a low 5/1

(My buddy @/ascalaphid has the whole game hosted on his website and you should check it out Right Now)

The past three months I had the distinct honour of being a team captain for @bowelfly’s most recent telephone which was an absolute POWERHOUSE of artistic talent. It was decided to take a core piece drawn by bfly himself, and then the telephone was continued in 7 teams drawing adjacently. A FABULOUS idea and experience!

If you want to look at 80 pieces of bug quest art LOOK NO FURTHER!!! I’m not kidding everyone absolutely killed it and you need to look at this art NOW

The most recent compilation of bird doodle commissions done over the past few weeks, including ones done in my recent advertisment to help with bills! If you’re someone who reblogged my original post or if one of your birds are here, I want to take this moment to say THANK YOU, SO MUCH. January is such a hard month money-wise for everyone, something I always forget until it rolls around - everyone’s kindness and generosity has been overwhelming. I was able to cover my bills and draw (and learn about) some wonderful bird suggestions. Thank you. <3

I’m still open for these, but on a much more casual basis where I’m not desparate for help with bills, if you would like a bird doodle for yourself or someone else hit me up!

Knight Galliform, nicknamed “The Rooster”, landsknecht of the Sons of Orcus. Discrepantly quiet and observant, his eccentric attire belies his skill with a flammenschwert - misjudge him at your own risk.

This was done for Goran Gligovic’s art prompt on BlueSky to draw a medieval knight with green armour and a grotesque themed helmet, which I started as a fun little thing and ended up getting WAY into. A challenge but fun!!

sons of orcus if anyone who actually know vexillology is looking at that flag and going “wtf” i got lazy and flubbed the design i'm sorry ;; *senator armstrong voice* my source is I made it the fuck up

Art vs Artist 2024!! Here’s my contribution!

I didn’t draw a huge amount of personal art as this year has been a very busy one (moving house! starting a postgraduate course! WOW!) but I’m honestly fine with that as I’m happy with what I did draw this year!

Happy holidays everyone, I hope you have a good New Years no matter what your plans are, and that everyone achieves what they want to in 2025 <333
