I am The Dice Nest! Greetings! I'm Rachel a student illustrator and graphic designer. Here you'll find some of my assorted art, albeit not very much! You can see my newer stuff @the-dice-nest-creates and at my dice blog: TheDiceNest

An update on prices for art commissions! I’ve been spending more and more time on each commission recently, and it’s gotten to the point where I can’t justify keeping my prices where they were.

School’s started up again, which means that now I either have to spend less time on each piece or raise the price, and I decided to raise it instead of making work I wasn’t happy with.

If you wanted to commission me, but can’t because of the price, talk to me and we can try to work something out!

A pet portrait commission from a while back! (Actually, the portrait was much less bright, but I had so much fun making it I threw in some extra colorings!)

I love doing pet portraits, they’re a fun challenge!

As always, commissions are open!

[rfoyerart]

The colors are so neon on tumblr...

Handmade chunky d20, made with copper leaf!

[digital-magus]

I have a hard time believing that thing rolls balanced. 

[rfoyerart]

It probably doesn’t, but that’s alright since I never really planned on using it as an actual die to begin with 😅

[rfoyerart]

Yeah, of course! It’s a photo you posted on a reblog of dnd apothecary’s post, of three bottles of dice. One yellow set, one pink, and one champagney orange. Sorry for not being more specific!

Ah, yes! I know that one! Those sets are all from Kraken Dice. They're called Trapped Innocence (pink), Butter Y'all (the yellow), and Peach Tea (the orangey peach ones!)! Butter Y'all is no longer in production, but the other two come back into stock occasionally. I'm glad I could help you out!

Im looking for a new way to display/sort my dice. I hate the way the little clear dice box looks that comes with the dice. I was going to use mobin wall organizers from the container store but they stopped selling them. Any recommendations?

mm that’s a good question because I, too, am looking for a solution I like. 

I saw someone on Tumblr (can’t remember who, sorry) who sorted their dice into stackable clear round jewelry jars like this 

My local Dollar Tree had plastic mason jars with screw on lids (but they were out when I went back to get more) so I settled on those like, glass storage jars that you put candy in? with a screw on lid - for some reason the Dollar Tree website won’t let me see it on their website, but here’s something similar

idk if that fits your style, I have no idea what a mobin wall organizer looks like, but there’s also the tool box style with removable drawers, I got some for the shop from Uline but they …didn’t really work out if you didn’t mount them to the wall and also I knocked them over like 4 times when they were full of dice so I kinda hate them but your mileage may vary.

@tilthedayidice has all of hers in those clear boxes but all lined up on her shelf and it looks super rad, so maybe you just need a different shelf?

i hope that kinda helps? idk.

Anyone else got any ideas? We’d love to hear them!

[rfoyerart]

I have mine sorted into 100mL glass jars and I love how they look like little potions!

[the-dice-nest]

Possible pin designs! A lot of people showed some interest in getting enamel pins of my designs, and I want pins too (we all want pins!) so I’m going ahead and making some designs!

These are still all works in progress, and I have some more ideas too, but I thought it might be useful to see what people are interested in. A lot of folks liked the koi fish d20 design (now with some extra detailing!) so I definitely wanted to include that in the first sort of round of designs. Let me know what your favorite is! I’ll end up selling the most popular one first, so either tag it or reply or reblog or send me a message and let me know!

EDIT: The pin edges will be considerable less pointy and prone to catching on things soon!

I’m going to keep posting designs as I make them, but right now we have:

Koi Fish – Black and white Dice Dragon – Alchemist’s D20

[the-dice-nest]

Updated designs plus new Never Enough Dice design!

Now: Less likely to break and/or hurt you!

[the-dice-nest]

I’m going to keep making revisions+designs, and hopefully have some designs ready to sell in April!

How do we feel about magical wizard snakes?

Because I’m personally feeling pretty good

Super Smash Bros Ultimate Collaborative Project!

The Smash Bros mural. You’ve seen it, you love it, but what could make it better? Yes that’s right - ClipArt. Now, almost 80 characters is a doozy of a task and so I would like to propose a collaboration of sorts.  Pick any character(s) from this mural and recreate them using the powerful tool that is clipart, and I will begin stitching your beautiful creations into this tapestry that will outlive us all. There’s no strict due date, but reply to this post to reserve your favourite character to ensure there’s minimal double-ups. I’ll be reblogging the progress of the mural as it develops, so check back often!

It wasn’t just the weather that made everybody more at ease. It was also that there were hardly any Starling there today. This was one of the only pictures with a Starling I got. It is rather impressive and intimidating, but their presence today was thankfully not.

Hey! I'm looking at making a dice palette for my boyfriend for our one year, is there a good place to buy single dice from in different colors/etc?

Umm I have no idea, I typically don’t buy singles unless they’re metal dice and I specifically only buy metal d20s in singles lol

Maybe @tilthedayidice knows? Or @the-dice-nest ?

I’m unsure, sorry boo

[rfoyerart]

Try The Dice Shop Online! They have a HUGE selection, including some out of print colors, and sell singles! (Plus, they have gemstone and metal dice in singles if you're looking for an extra special gift!)
