Hi! I'm Shaun, or Deriaz. I'm an illustrator in the intersection of fantasy, anthro figures, LGBTQ themes, and healthy masculinity.
Much love, and thanks for looking!

I know I have commissions but I've suddenly become attached to this dumb dragon drawing, a rarity for me for personal work, and how it might flesh out the Deriaz character (is a dragon, prefers to be a kobold for ~reasons~ I'll eventually write out) so I'm taking advantage of this burst while I can.

Oh shit, new Goldfinger album. Well I know what I'm listening to while working on this dragon.

Good reminder tonight to turn off voice chats in any multiplayer game. The Gamers do not seem to be able to understand a player is new or struggling while trying to learn in any game anymore?
Ah well. Anyways, I'll post art tomorrow; sorry I've been procrastinating on that. Bit of a list to post!!

Hard to focus today. Mother got diagnosed with breast cancer. Caught it early, in an easier to handle place, but mind is still running all over the place. Hard to focus on work when I'm adding more to the pile of things to worry about. Sorry for the slow start to the week.

Alright, got paintings out before the winter storm hits. Think we're good there. I reached out to sketch people, but may not be able to start tomorrow if we lose power. Then, more paintings, specifically Redbar and Thorn! (I'll reach out on Monday/Tuesday if we have power back, should it go down.)

Woke up feeling awful again on day off. And bad brain for being social, so not sure about streaming.
In general, I'm not sure I'm going about streaming right... I know, for one, I need to do more art streams. That should probably be my main streaming category, obviously, like it used to be. But I--

I get messages on TikTok from time to time asking about commissions. Part of me wants to just put the price sheet on there so people have it publicly, but at the same time I scroll sometimes and see people doing full digital painted icons for like $10 and I think, "oh, nah, i shouldn't, actually"

Noodling about in Rebelle 8. Started feeling guilty I spent my afternoon on vent art, though, instead of the queue so I'll pause it here. Maybe I'll come back and pick at it. Version 8 seems much smoother, was fun to play around in for something personal.

Late night anxiety thoughts: I feel like I don't have a style, and when I feel as though art is all I have to show for myself, it sends me into a small spiral. I don't have anything I feel I strongly excel at in my art, like I know how to polish things but not how to draw/paint them. Maybe it's my--

Maybe I really should set aside a day for personal work. Came up on stream yesterday, and maybe it -would- help with how stuck I feel like my style at the moment... Hmm.

A piece for @macrozyas.bsky.social . Zyas taking a moment to judge a few planets within his domain.
Tried to make this a mirror to Myst's piece from a while back. Power over passivity, flipped the pose, etc.. Was fun to see if what I learned stuck!
Thanks to Zyas for trusting me with your guy! 💚
