Updated my commission info! Two more slides are in the replies, and a carrd with links to all the ways to contact me is in my bio! #commissions #beadwork #beading #beadart #beadedjewelry

A dark grey background with white text and boarder. The text says "DEARFEARS Commissions! Commissions take anywhere from a week to a
few months depending on the complexities.

I take payments through PayPal, and ask for
half the cost of the piece before ordering
any supplies.

Shipping isn't included in these prices. I always
ship through USPS, and can give an estimate
through there.

I'm also happy to try and work with a budget
if you have one, just let me know up front
any cost/time restraints you have."

A matching grey image that says "DEARFEARS Commissions!" at the top. Below are two pictures of small beaded earrings with text that says "Lil' guys 1-1.5" $35 USD"

A matching grey image that says "DEARFEARS Commissions!" at the top. Below are two pictures of medium sized beaded earrings with text that says "Medium 1.5-2.5" $60 USD"

he's having a great time. see the full res version and all my stuff a week early over on my patreon! link in bio #oc #digitalart #guysbeingdudes #alstonturren #dndoc

A full color illustration of two identical men. They're both pale with brown eyes and brown hair. One is standing behind the other, winking and smiling at the camera, holding one arm out like he's taking a selfie, and the other is wrapped around the other man to hold a cigarette to his mouth. He's wearing a cropped tee that says "BABY SLUT" and aviator glasses, his hair is slicked back, he has dark clawed hands, and he has a mustache. The other man is staring off screen with a beleaguered look. He has stubble and his hair is wavy and loose. He wears a red button up, grey cardigan, half moon glasses, and a blue pendant. The rest of the image is stylized like a magazine collage with cut out letters above them reading "Give it up".

A full color illustration of a humanoid shadow monster holding onto a woman. The background is abstract blue. The woman has medium brown skin, curly brown hair, and brown eyes. She's standing with one arm held up at the wrist, and the other touching a hand on her shoulder. She wears a crocheted tunic dress, a beaded moon earring, blue eye shadow, and orange lipstick. Behind her is a grinning shadow monster, leering over her head, one hand on her wrist, and the other on her shoulder.

A little something for me! It's a project I've had on the back burner for a while, but since I just had a wedding to attend I finally got around to finishing it! You can see the full res pictures over on my patreon! #beading #beadart #beadedearrings #bolotie #beadedbolo #cardsuits #quadrants

A head on picture of a set of beaded earrings and bolo tie. They're themed after the cards suits, the earrings being a grey clubs symbol, and a pink diamond. While the bolo tie is a red heart with a black spade hanging from it. There's also a watermark for Dearfears.

One of my PCs Winter, and her favorite NPC Lynn! #dndoc #illustration #digitalillustration #digitalart #winterzinsbog #goliath

A full color illustration of two women. One woman (Winter) is standing holding a pole off screen, and the other woman (Lynn) on her shoulder. Winter looks up to Lynn with a grin, holding onto her thigh. Lynn has one hand on Winter's shoulder, and the other on her hand. Winter is a wall woman with stone grey skin and rock like striation, black hair and eyes, wearing black lipstick, jeans, and a pink tank top. Her hair is in a braid that reaches her low back. Lynn is a tan woman with short brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a black crop tank top, a short blue skirt, white leg warmers, and sandals. She also has a scar visible from under her tank top.

Add It Up, Alston. #dndoc #illustration #digitalillustration #oc #digitalart #violentfemmes

A full color illustration of a man laying in a giant ring in front of a black background. He's laying with his legs and left arm dangling, looking toward the camera with a yearning expression, his right hand draped across his low stomach and groin. The whole drawing is in shades of pink and blue. He has short, slicked back hair, a mustache, and ample body hair. He's wearing several earrings, a mesh long sleeve, a bodice, shorts, socks, and ankle boots. His hands are clawed and wear several rings. Around him is text that reads: "Why can't I get just one screw? (Believe me, I know what to do.) But something won't let me make love to you."

Hey, Alaska's been hit by a typhoon and no one is talking about it. Indigenous towns are in need of aid. People are missing and the gov't is still shut down.

If any creators here are in affected areas, please drop links for aid.

Happy Indigenous People's Day! And Choctaw Day! If you wanna support my art check out the links in my bio, or look at it right here! #indigenouspeoplesday #choctaw

A mirror selfie of me, I'm pale with short brown hair, wearing a brightly colored button up shirt patterned with drinks and citrus. I'm also wearing a bolo tie and earrings.

A beaded medallion that looks like a black and white beetle surrounded by stripes of green and purple. The body of the beetle is made of a black and white polished gemstone.

A full color illustration of a top down view of three men sprawled on a bed cuddled together. You can see a wood floor, with a pink carpet on top, the bed is dressed with a striped comforter, and pillows of varying shades of purple. From left to right the men are: Weird Al, a hairy pale gnome man with slicked back brown hair and a thick mustache, his hands have dark claws, and he's wearing a tank top cropped to above his nipples that says "Imolia", a lace garter belt, white boxers, unbuttoned dark jeans, aviator glasses, and white socks. Weird al is laying on Sarahel's right shoulder and looking up at him with dark brown eyes. Next to him is Sarahel, an aasimar with gold skin and pointed ears. He has long maroon hair, and is wearing a lavender button up that's mostly unbuttoned to show his chest, green pants, and blue socks. He has the arm under Weird Al cocked to rest his hand behind his head, the other arm is draped over Alston's chest, he's looking down at Weird Al with golden eyes, and his legs are slightly crossed at the shin. Finally next to him is Alston, a gnome almost identical to Weird al, except his hair is down and wavy, he has no claws, and he has stubble instead of a mustache. He's wearing a red turtleneck patterned with tangerines, an argyle sweater vest, light wash jeans, half moon glasses, a dark ring, and purple socks. He's laid on Sarahel's stomach, looking up at him, with one hand on top of his, and the other draped on his leg.

What if they got a break? A moment to breathe in a field? Wouldn't it be nice? #malevolent #jarthur #privateeyes #johnmalevolent #arthurlester

A full color illustration of two figures laying in the grass and dandelions, one on top of the other. The figure on the bottom is a black silhouette with grey scars and large mask like eyes, John. He has his left hand on the other man, Arthur's, shoulder, and his right hand cupping Arthur's face and neck, looking down at his face. Arthur is a pale man with short, wavy, blond hair. He has a mustache, yellow eyes, and wears a white button up. He's looking up at John with wonder, his left hand resting on his chest, where you can see his pinky is actually a pitch black twig attached to his hand.

The air was completely still, but waves of icy cold touched the back - evil hungry gaze was watching the tiny candle flame from the inky abyss of the forest, hidden behind the trees.
The mouse quickened his pace - the candle wouldn't burn forever. He had to reach the river in time.

A quick FYI: They have *just* relaunched the online NPR shop with bunches of new stuff, plus some throwbacks and, of course, the Tiny Desk hoodie. So if you are that kind of public media person, there’s some stuff to check out! shopnpr.org
