DANDE | SHE/HER | 🏳️🌈
Hey! I'm Dande (like dandelion). I draw creatures, TTRPG characters, OCs, and a motley of fantasy and magic.I've loved art my whole life and have a hoard of random creative hobbies, but despite a few barely-used sketchbooks, I never really pursued drawing seriously. 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 my free time in 2024 working on my writing (@LilianaPisarka) and got really burned out. Drawing became a different but still satisfying way to express myself and I dedicated my free time in 2025 to messing with a drawing tablet. 2026 is for more practice. I'm trying to let go of expectations 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.

ARTIST TERMS OF SERVICE
WIP. Last updated July 1, 2026
- Please provide reference pictures and I will do my best to bring your OC to life in my style. I’m studying art and constantly trying to learn/level up my skills, so please refer to the samples on the commission sheet to get an idea of what my art currently looks like. I cannot promise any quality different than what is provided in the samples and I cannot copy anyone else’s styles.- Payment is upfront and must be done through PayPal or Stripe. I will send you an invoice, then work will begin after payment is cleared.- Partial refunds may be possible until the sketch is finalized. Once the sketch is confirmed and I move into line/flat color, refunds are no longer possible. Fees taken by payment processors are always nonrefundable.- For commissions that include check-ins (not SKEPs/Surprise Mes) I will send a check-in at each stage of the process : Sketch → Line + flat color → Render . Please know that large structural changes are allowed in the sketch phase only. Any large changes requested after the sketch is confirmed may incur additional fees.- You retain full rights and ownership of your IP (the OC). I (the artist) retain rights to the created art and may share it on my portfolio and socials for self-promotion purposes.- When you use or share the art, please give artist credit (credit: Dandelev) where appropriate.- Art is for personal use only. If you'd like to use the art for commercial purposes (such as using it for a business and/or to make money in any capacity), additional commercial rights must be requested and purchased. The fee for commercial rights usage is 2x the base price.- Art is not to be used for AI or NFTs in any capacity.~By commissioning me, you attest that you have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions listed above.Thank you!
FAQ
What do you draw with?
I use Clip Studio Paint Pro. For a tablet, I'm using XP-Pen Artist 12.
Do you do commissions?
Sometimes! Please check Trades & Comms for current availability. Thanks for your interest!
Can I use your art for AI/NFTs/Blockchains?
Nope, never.
Can I use your art for my D&D/Daggerheart/TTRPG game?
If your game is non-commercial (aka no one is earning money from it), then yes - as long as you credit me as the artist. Optional toll: Send me a little note or DM and tell me a fun fact about your character/game, I'd love to hear about them :D(Please note this only applies to my characters and does not apply to commissioned/trade/gift/fanart pieces. Out of respect, please do not use other people's characters without their permission.)I share free TTRPG content over on Heart of Daggers (adversaries, environments, one-shot adventures, etc), so feel free to browse my HoD Homebrew Creator Profile for more things to use in your game.
Do you write about your OCs?
Yup! I (try to) keep my writing stuff separate from my art stuff, but you're welcome to check it out if you'd like (website here).
