Commission I did earlier this year for @bowelfly and @gachimushi - drawing this was a MASSIVE honour and I was very touched to be trusted in drawing this <3

[blossompigeon]

Four random smaller drawings from the last year or so I never posted - art trade done for @bowelfly, two "gijinka design" prompts, and a cool guy.

!! LAST CALL FOR BIRD DOODLE COMMISSIONS!!

Just wanted to put this in it's own separate post just to plug it a bit more - after 2 years of doing bird doodle commissions, I've decided it's time for me to compile every bird doodle I've done into a zine!! This will come with some exclusive zine-only art and some bird facts, info, and more! Before I start work, I wanna boost one last time that if you want a bird drawn for only $10 before I stop accepting them to focus on making this zine, you have until May the 29th! Go now whilst bird stocks last before it's too late!

UPDATE POST! - Life updates, thank you's, and a Bird Doodle Zine?!

Hey all! I feel I owe everyone a life update and a general post since I dropped my emergency commission post at the start of the year

For those out the loop, I graduated with a Master's degree in Librarianship in January, and on the very day I graduated (not even making this up lmao) I found out that an admin job I was meant to start just to pay the bills until I got my first librarian job had rescinded their offer due to circumstances out of my control. Not only was the celebration day of all the hard work I did over 2024/25 ruined, but I was put in a very dangerous situation where I came very, VERY close to being evicted from my house as I had no way to pay rent, let alone feed myself or my cats. This was incredibly scary as I had nowhere to go should this went through. HOWEVER, I'm pleased to announce that after many, many applications and interviews I got offered my very first Librarian job earlier this month! I'm due to start in June, and I'm so happy all my perserverence and hard work paid off. Which leads me on to say....

I just really wanted to take the chance to say thank you to everyone. Thank you to everyone who commissioned and was patient when I struggled on several due to poor health, thank you to everyone who plugged the post and left kind words for me in the tags (I have them all screenshotted in a folder somewhere), and just, thank you. For being so kind. You all helped me avoid eviction, pay off my bills and helped feed me and my cats. I've felt so bad as my artistic output has been so slow both from when I was finishing my degree and through me doing commissions, but I'm genuinely overwhelmed with everyone's generosity and kindness. It means the world to me and I don't know how I can ever make it back to you guys. Thank you.

I have two more commissions and a handful of bird doodles to finish until my queue is clear and I can start drawing some personal art again, but I wanted to announce that I intend to compile all the Ko-Fi bird doodles I've done over the last 2 (?! insane!!) years and make a downloadable zine with them! (Maybe print one day?). This will also come with some EXCLUSIVE zine only art and tons of bird facts and info. THAT BEING SAID - this is your !!LAST CALL!! to submit a request before I start work on the zine in earnest!!! Is there a bird you haven't seen yet that you'd like to see in the zine? You can still pledge to my ko-fi, but not for much longer! I will close submissions on the 29th OF MAY!!! Go now!!!

Finally, it's my birthday on Friday. I don't have much to announce here, just wanted to tell people lmao. I'm gonna (hopefully) go out to a pub and get dinner, and make me and my friends a cake. It should be nice.

That's it for now! I hope everyone is doing better and having a nice Spring/Summer now that (in my neck of the woods) there's more sunlight and better weather. I know I am!

I took part in another Turbophone telephone game recently that took place over April and May, hosted by my good buddy @bowelfly and assisted by team captain @slowedmountains! The team theme this time was Sword and Sorcery, and I was immensely proud to serve Team Sword (after spending approximately 2 minutes on Team Sorcery and promptly defecting to help plug a schedule gap lmaaoooooo). Here's my piece, and I also helped out by making a banner for bowelfly's website!

The poor beast here goes on an incredible odyssey, even after having it's wee neck 'sploded, and you must view everyone's results NOW -> Go check out the results down below! Both teams absolutely killed it and the wealth of talent and skill on display is both inspiring and humbling

A compilation of just some of the pet commissions I've been working on from January until now! A massive, massive THANK YOU to every wonderful commissioner who trusted me with drawing their sweet beasts, I genuinely loved drawing every one <3

Commission for @barabones

Raoul for the incredible @skelleste , part of our FUCK YOU IT'S JANUARY Secret Santa exchange on Discord! I'M SO GLAD I GOT TO DRAW THIS GUY, HE'S SO COOL!!

Unfortunately I got big sick in the middle of this and only finished the line work, but my hero @blossompigeon stepped in with an amazing color treatment. Just LOOK at that!! I'm so honored. 🥲 Pls give his blog a look, he's an amazing artist! (He hosted the exchange too!! Wow!!)

[blossompigeon]

Hosted another Secret Santa over in @bowelfly's server! I ended up drawing @dimetrodone's Cowparsley, whom I'm a huge fan of (pay no close attention to the details in the border, it's fine, he's a Good Boy)

You can check out what other people drew in the tag #fyij secret santa!

Piece I did for one of @bowelfly's Art Telephones, where we had to finish in under 24 hours! I'm super proud of how this turned out - you should go check out everyone's art here! https://ascalaphid.com/telephone/turbo26

EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS

Hey all, unfortunately yesterday I got some bad news in that the offer for my new job that I was meant to start this month has been rescinded - putting me in a position where I am unable to pay rent next month (as well as food for myself and my cats, and paying other bills), which my landlord is aware of - I deseperately need to make enough to cover rent so I don't get in trouble, so I'm opening up some emergency commissions

PET COMMISSIONS - $60 per pet

I will draw your a portrait of your pet for 60 dollars. I am more than happy to do multiple pets in one drawing.

OC/CHARACTER PORTRAITS - $90 per character

I will draw a portrait of your character for 90 dollars. I can do multiple portraits in one commission if you would like a "character sheet" style commission, or would like multiple OCs "hanging out"

I also have my Ko-Fi where I doodle a bird of your choice for $10 if this is out of your price range. https://ko-fi.com/tytonidaeus

If you're interested, please send me a DM on here. For Americans, please be aware I can only use Paypal as certain other cash-apps do not allow non-Americans to use them (i.e. me). Thank you for reading.

[blossompigeon]

Gonna boost for my Bird Doodle Ko-Fi commissions again as I have some upcoming costs this month that need covering! 10 dollars for a bird of your choice! Thank you for reading, it means a lot https://ko-fi.com/tytonidaeus

OOOOHHHHH Happy belated New Year everyone! Here's my summary from 2025! Whilst I didn't draw a huge quantity, I am very proud of what I did draw! 2025 was a bit of a weird year, I was mostly preoccupied with completing my postgraduate degree (which I passed and got a decent grade!!) which is why I'm a bit dry on the quantity front. I've also been helping out/assisting in running things in a community art server which has been a DELIGHT, I've learnt a lot of what I'm capable of through it! I hope to draw more in 2026 and finish some larger projects! You're allowed to kill me if I don't
