Go commission @evulbad for some beautiful and dynamic artwork!

In order of left to right: Alexandra Moore, Daloris Pitts, Julia Liu, Jacob Evans, Elizabeth Lot, Abigail Deere, Charles McGunny, Annabella Perry, Delighla Cunningham, and Marcus Ramos.

It’s so nice to have them all together, but it’s crazy to know that they are mostly just the recognizable characters from a few different places. My story is definitely going to be a series, so only seven out of the ten are in the first book!

I definitely recommend giving @dreamtydraw a follow and/or a commission! I certainly love their art.

The last but not least commission from @dreamtydraw ! It’s Daloris Pitts, the grumpy office counselor.

She’s a bit off on how I imagined her. I had given the artist a lot of liberty as Daloris is a background character and therefore not fleshed out in appearance for me.

She’s got more of an indifferent attitude than the “resting bitch face” I had imagined her in, but I think it definitely looks good on her. The setting of the book is almost entirely in an office, so an apron was definitely a surprise. However, it was fun imagining what she might wear an apron for in her home life. I think she’d be the kind of person who’d exclusively wear an apron for cleaning.

Though it’s not exactly how I imagined it, it’s absolutely gorgeous. @dreamtydraw did an amazing job and I love whatever texture is going on.

With all that, I’ll say I was pretty frustrated with the artist due to how long it took to get my commissions. I had bought ten in total in July of 2024 and told them that I could supply them with references slowly as I was sure having all ten at once would be overwhelming, plus I’m a serial procrastinator and it would buy me time. She said that she was pretty quick and that sending all ten would be fine. I sent two at first as I was at work and sent the rest in a trickle as I found the time and energy. In September, dreamtydraw informed me that I had only sent nine, so I quickly sent over Daloris Pitts as my tenth commission. So I’ve been waiting, rather impatiently, for five months to receive my art that I had been told was quick all the while watching the artist post commission openings on their blog. I understand that they were having computer, health and in general life problems. I want to be understanding, so I want everyone else to be understanding as well. Sometimes, artists have got a lot on their plates.

She’s a tired, old lady who can’t wait to stop working with the DOGs. Thank you @evulbad for this!

I had a really hard time drawing her, as I don’t visualize her very well. Plus my device was throwing the usual fit. I left a lot of shaky lines and imperfections. I didn’t even redo the line work because it 100% would crash if I tried to select it.
