Hey! Can I borrow your opinion for a second?

My bestiesoulmate just closed on his very own first home!! I’m so excited for him, but money’s pretty tight right now and a lot of stress is tied up in the whole process that is to come. As he goes through the chaos of closing and then gearing up to move, I want to generate some support for him.

I’m looking to cook up a fundraiser through some manner of dice-selling event!! But I want to vibe check my followers to see what they’d prefer that event to actually entail!

If you’re at all interested in getting dice from me, I’d love your thoughts on this! What would you like to see MOST?

Preorders: I will put out multi-platform polls (as I’m doing now) to have my followers vote on what design(s) they want the preorders for! The options will likely be between some non-commission/custom work I’ve done in the past, and some in-progress projects I’ve got in the chamber, or even ideas for something altogether new! We’ll figure it out together so the final options are exactly what you guys want. Preorders will likely be at a bit of a discount from purchasing the finished sets normally!

Auctions: Fully custom 7pc+ set commission slots! Winner will be asked to provide me with a moodboard of some sort to work off of, and I will work with them every step of the way to brainstorm ideas for how to see it to fruition, and check in at every step with them to ensure they’re loving what’s being made.

Sale: I have a fair amount of dice lying around that either are fully finished and need to be listed to my shop, or still need to be sanded/painted and then listed, etc. This option would be me focusing on getting all of those done and in my shop, and then having a clearance sale for all of them. The designs will not really be much new, and some of them are little more than dice poured with excess resin instead of deliberate designs themselves, but likewise, the prices will not be for top of the line Daarka dice, so it’s a good budget-friendly option! (Note: I may, frankly, do this anyways no matter which option wins these polls lmao)

I’m posting this survey in various forms across every social media I can put it on (and my Discord servers and such)! I’ll compile the results from all of them to assess the full results in about a week!

sometimes you just puppet a random creature as the DM who was meant to die immediately but then they don’t and suddenly they have dialogue and just as abruptly you are fully in love with them and now they are a permanent fixture everyone meet Szix

This year I wanted to try something new with crochet. I’m using bases with detachable heads (made by me on the first days of ArtFight) to try and make the majority of the characters attacks from (this way I’ll only have to crochet new clothes, hair, accessories), so if you see the same expressions/faces on attacks that’s probably why :9

goshhhh youre so sweet

Answer 1: THATS A HARD QUESTION
I think the answer changes fluidly over time, but at the moment, I adore Skena and Cassiana. I’m just… I’m a cleric main, I won’t apologize for having two clerics.

Skena is a death cleric, daughter of Anubis, 4'6" and full of anxiety. and bees.

Cassiana (Cass) is a grave cleric, a one-eyed double amputee (left leg and left arm; she has a glass eye prosthetic, but I promise one eye is missing) who used to be a shield maiden barbarian. It’s complicated, but I adore her.

She’s also, despite being objectively the Most handicapped, the party’s tank.

can’t dodge for shit, but she can hella take a hit, despite looking like she’s going to fall apart at the seams from a stiff breeze. I’m obsessed with paradoxes in characters so this delights me.

Answer 2: THANK YOU! And I have! I’m working towards having dice for all my characters.

From years ago, closer to when I first started making dice, I made some for Skena;

And then later, revisiting the design with updated molds;

But I have to say, my favorite Skena dice I own–frankly, potentially my favorite dice I own period (and I have A Lot)–is this set I was gifted from @decusdice a couple years back:

There’s a whole ass Anubis in the D20, and the D10s have a heart and a featherrrrrrr I cried

I also have these I made based off my character, Daarka

I also have dice I’ve made for Cass but I caNT FIND THE PHOTO OF THEM

And don’t get me started on dice I’ve made for my bestie’s characters… I basically got it in my head when I started making dice that I would make him dice for all his characters. He only has about a dozen, maybe a little less than that, but it’s been like three years and BOY I am making slow progress. I guess let me know if you want to see a dump full of those dice/side by sides with the characters they’re for? I can upload that separately, I think I’m cutting it close on the 10 image limit for this post lmao

“Lovely Latte”

Thought about selling these, but then they charmed me, so methinks I shall keep them (but several d20s in this style are still available in my shop!) ♡

Now that I primarily use Procreate, I have a ton of timelapses to upload for the pieces from prior months! Stay tunedddd

A tired doodle!

Got an iPad with Procreate, having fun with it!! The time lapse feature is so niiiice
