DANDE | SHE/HER | 🏳️🌈
Hey! I'm Dande (like dandelion). I draw critters, original characters, and a motley of fantasy and magic.I've loved art my whole life and have a mountain hoard of random creative hobbies, but despite a few barely-used sketchbooks, I never really pursued art. Enter GenAI and the Age of Slop. The more soulless crap I see, the more I appreciate stuff made with hand and heart. There's something magical about the things people craft. It makes me want to create too, even if I'm not "great" at it.I spent most of 2024 working on my writing and got really burned out. Art became another way to express myself and I spent 2025 learning the basics of how to use a drawing tablet. 2026 is for more practice. I'm trying to let go of expectations, keep myself free from getting locked into one "style", and experiment as much as I can (all while avoiding the dreaded burnout). Also gotta support/cheer on fellow creators because heck yeah we're in it together.Other than that, I'm obsessed with TTRPGs and play D&D5E and Daggerheart. A lot of my art is inspired by the campaigns I'm in. I sometimes write a little (though the writer's burnout is still freeloading), I like making homemade soap, and I wear a lot of plaid.Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to say hi. I'm mostly on Bluesky these days.
