Artist link drops/portraits

Wasn't sure where to post this, so...new thread! If anyone has any favourite artists they follow that may also do character art, drop away links here! If you get character art you are excited about, post here! Related, my character art commission got sent to me tonight and I'm screaming happily inside. I regretfully didn't keep up with a lot of my favourites as they migrated from twitter in the dozens, but may pop further links in here the future.

https://x.com/nomorepaperleft did this art commission for me (their commissions are currently closed for a time as they finish a current list.)

This is awesome. Amazing portrait. Always fun to see this kind of thing.

Yes, what a stunning picture! 😍 That must be so exciting... I've never actually commissioned art, but maybe I should think about doing so lol, seems like it would be the thrill of getting a package you ordered in the mail, only magnified tenfold or more. I do follow artists here and there, but I can't say I keep very good track of which ones do commisions. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the talented Ratajota (commission info)... I'll keep an eye out for more though!

:D I am very happy with their work. They and another drew something perfectly on point off the bat that had me grin.

Seeing the end result of commissions is very fun, although deciding is very difficult! (me and an oil painting/tattoo art five years later lol)

<3 (that artist you linked has cool stuff!)

Everyone feel  free to spam cool artists even if they aren't open currently  and if one isn't sure<

I love Ighlaf's portrait! The eyes are so dark and piercing.

In no particular order, here are a handful of artists (all instagram handles) with very different styles who I <3 and take commissions for OCs! Some are open, others are currently closed. :)

• dana_delion
• alba_r_art
• maedictus
• _beidak_
• janepicaart

Posting the event made me realize I never properly put up this character art, so here it is. I painted this myself in photoshop, using a couple of photo references.

Wow, so epic. Every time I look at it, floored by how perfectly that is Otty. I just saw in that bigger version that there is even fuzz on his skull. XD  (Seen it before on the profile page but it's a smaller version there)

That art is amazing! So cool to see, and seconding seeing the fuzz, neat.

Um, WOW. That's amazing! Thank you for sharing! (Also, that is quite an impressive beard.)

Wow. I am _completely_ blown away that you paitned that yourself pof Otty, it looks SO good. And that beard is indeed epic.

I feel like given the two emoji options we have on this forum, the correct reply to this art is:
