Hi! I'm Shaun, or Deriaz. I'm an illustrator in the intersection of fantasy, anthro figures, LGBTQ themes, and healthy masculinity.
Much love, and thanks for looking!

I always end up spending a little extra time on a piece that has a woman in it. In part because I worry over my skill with their anatomy, but because someone trusted my skill enough to let me work with her, so I try and make it worth it. ;u; Very happy with this current one I'm finishing up.

This week I need to try and get my model working in one of those vtubing things again. I dunno why the expressions are mucked up and the mouth is so jittery. I miss having kobold in corner of screen for games.

I've been playing Cyber Sleuth outside of work hours because I like turn-based RPGs, and Goolashe has gotten me a bit more interested in Digimon... Stingmon still my favorite so far. Not just because oops that's Bruce, but what a slick, clean design. Though Lekismon is also very high up there now. 👀

Assuming the second one gets the thumbs up, that's two paintings done. Reached out to a sketch that hadn't responded last weekend, but I'll still prep for another two just in case this weekend. Otherwise... I will be aiming to get some more paintings rolling on Monday. Tomorrow... I drive...?

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

LRP: I know it gets shit on as a day as a whole but I like that image when I see it. I'm a dude who struggles a lot with not "being a man" and what I wish I were--was the reason I made Bruce originally. I've gotten flak for it before. I just like the nice reminder that I still "count" as a dude. ;u;

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Yo, how did I not notice Goldfinger updated 99 Red Balloons in 2022? And it's even -better- than the original cover? 🎵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=zANR...

I always appreciate when a background roughs in really quickly and nicely. Now for the character. WIP.

The worst time of Rivals has risen again: they added a strategist and buffed a few tanks, so I find myself in the role I'm weakest in and get yelled at/blamed for doing my best. Weeee. Every time I think "Oh, maybe I should turn my comms back on," I remember why I turned them off almost immediately.

Sometimes when I'm told to "make the pecs bigger", my brain imagines the spirit of PanScolipede over my shoulder going "go, with my blessing and my power" and I try my best to fluff the pillows up. ;u;
